Who's Going to the 2025 CrossFit Games?

The. The. Welcome to the Spin 7 minutes of Burpees team meet Spin. How were they? Yeah, Spin, I didn't see your video. What what it was? Like there it was the. Very end. Oh, OK, I wasn't paying attention. Tyler, what's this about? Yeah, it's just whatever. I don't, I truly. Don't. I'm not angry. I'm I'm completely level headed. That's what an angry person would say. Yeah, well, Hiller. Hiller made a video. We can get into it later maybe. Yeah, maybe we'll we'll stay for it. No this.

Time enough for Jr. and Jr. and I both. 7 minutes of burpees was as awful as I remember it. Whatever. 13 years ago, so 12.1. Yeah. So the couple, I was wondering like I wonder if both like parties of the couple were on the same team because I would imagine not. So somebody got roped into doing 7 minutes of Barbies that didn't have to. Dang, and that I hope the spouse was just sitting there and be like, you're doing great babe and just just just just a job about it.

Yeah, no, it's. It wasn't fun, especially since I did Andy on Monday so my shoulders were blown up and then Hiller's jumping lunges. The day before. Bike biker yesterday and so my legs were trashed too, so there was nothing fun about that workout. So so yeah, good times. I did not beat my score from 13 years ago, but I also walked out and just started doing it. Sorry. What this one?

Yeah. OK, you guys want to get into it. We're going to I mean if you saw the the the preview or the the thumbnail, we are going to tell you who qualifies out of every single into in person qualifying event. We're going to tell you who qualifies, all 11 athletes who qualify out of the in affiliate semifinals and we'll tell you who qualifies out of the last chance qualifier. So. Dude, this. I can't wait to get there because I think we're going to argue quite a bit.

Yeah, we're not. We're not giving you our pick. Each individual picks. This is going to be a team effort. The spin effort, the spin picks. I'm sure that John, Tyler and I will all disagree many, many times, so stay tuned for that. A new game? Name the winner. So Tyler and John don't even know what it is. So we'll see how good their game's history is. So. Oh, good. But this is a game for me.

It's going. To be like that, that metrics game where we guess like how how much you could clean, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen, I'm going to get every single answer right. And then the one I don't know, Tyler will name the date of birth of this woman athlete like exactly on the head. That's what. That's what. As long as it's Marcus Hedren, I'll kill it. Yeah, I actually have some

pretty big grid news too. So whenever Spin wants, if we want to do that at the end of the show or in the beginning of the show, it's it's pretty big news. We got to keep them, we got to keep them waiting and it better be good then. No, no, no, it's it's good. OK y'all, It's good all. Right, let's get into some viewer comments and then we'll get into the rest of the story. First of all, if you guys, what's that? Mister Kotler? Yeah, this is a reminder.

If you're not following, subscribe, do that now. And then also if you're watching after the fact, drop a comment in decent amount of comments, but there weren't as many that were controversial this time. So let us have it. But there was one at Justin Kotler. Love the Alex Gazan shade. Keep it coming spin. You didn't like my comment about Alex being too high on the

mountain, so we'll see. I remember going back and checking what I said because I was like, I don't want to piss off Kotler. I mean to to John's, what have you done lately? That was my whole point. John's like. You were playing to John's system, not necessarily what you thought about Alex. No, I mean, I think she has potential.

But if you're going to say that she's that high up in the mountain, you've got, I mean, you look at what Ariel is done at Rogue and at Wadapalooza. And what did Ariel do at Water Palooza? I don't even know what she did at Water Palooza. What if she did? Exactly, she freaking did. Bad trash, bad if anything. Alex didn't. Alex didn't even compete. It it helps you more, it helps you more the trashness that Ariel Lowen brought to Water Palooza than not doing it.

OK, just with. See, no offense to Ariel, I'm still a big fan. Trash, Sir. And then he's like, yeah. Sorry. I love Ariel, but yeah, yeah, I I would, yeah. Maybe Ariel have done better at Wadapalooza if she if that barn had been built by Dylan by now. That's that's true. It is Dylan's fault. I agree with that. I put Hatfield on the mountain on sheer potential before he did anything and I got so much crap for it and what came to pass. Listen, usually, typically this happens a lot.

I'm like 2 years early to what's going to happen to the party and everybody thinks I'm ridiculous and then it happens. It happened with Justin Medeiros. On the negative side, everybody was singing Justin's praises and I said, guys, it's not all that. And then all of you dumped on him and now I'm the freaking Justin Medeiros, like her, and I don't want to be that guy. He's got pink hair, the and then

it and. I'm. Telling I'm telling I'm just early to the party on a lot of these people, but y'all are going to figure out when to be like maybe we'll just, you know, not argue with them and see what happens. And then when I'm and then when I'm wrong. When I'm wrong, you know, you can point it out, OK? Fair enough. You, you can go easy on me. No, no. No, you can go hard on me. I'm not wrong very often. I you go hard as you want when I'm wrong. OK, got it. Very often.

We'll find out here soon. Christian Kettler. It's a much better marketing move to pay for a Hyrox affiliation right now. At least. People like Hyrox. The WFP is AG 5 compared to Hyrox at AG3 using Tyler's scale. It's AG scale. I used the G scale several times this week. There you go, I'm. Before, before we go to the next comment, I I have to address this. I'm sorry, Spin. Hey, Ortega, go watch. Be friendly, OK? You don't. You don't like my mountain.

I don't want you here, OK? Another comment like that. You can get wrenched up so quick, OK? If you don't have to like me, you could say whatever you want about me. I've heard it all. Call me the Goonies guy. Call me freaking freaking Ingrid from Missouri or or whatever. Whatever. It doesn't. Doesn't what else you got? Hey. You go down, go watch, go find the strong woman post on spin and just recite that stuff because they said they called me everything.

You can freaking call me, OK? You can. You can come at me. I'm 30, OK? Come at me, come at the Tappan. Knot, insult the mountain. OK, Ortega, I'm I'm talking. I wish you would. You're going to be out of here so quick. Ask Magnus. OK. Ask PC. You can and if you're going to disagree, come at it with something, say it's it's bad because he should have had this or should have. You can't just have this this ridiculous, low freaking in thought of insult. I'm so upset by this.

I was not upset. Now I'm upset. I'm I'm Tyler was angry and now I am angry and spin is just going to have to deal with this freaking angry Ness. The angry panel. I will say, if you do get wrenched up, it takes a long time to get unwrenched because I can't figure out how. To we don't even know how to bring you back. OK, Yeah. We hold a dangerous weapon. Magnus is back though. Yeah, yeah, but Magnus was out for a few weeks. PCs still not back. I have to figure that out again.

Jeremy Riley. Glad Lucy was on that row way up there high on the mountain. Thought you had left her off the mountain at one point. I think she's a lock for the podium. That's cool. I don't think so, but I thank you for that comment. She's got there for a for a fun time, not a long time, yeah. Christian Kettler said It's if it's if it's a heavy games, then no. If it's if there's a swim and it's not super heavy games, then yes. And like. If a one of those is out.

I honestly. The she podium if it's the same program as last year. Yeah, I think so, yeah. With everybody, With everybody still in it. Yeah. Oh, oh, everybody's still in it. Everybody. 'S still in it. Of the people that are currently in it right now, I say I say yes. Wow. But I think I I also think, I don't think Lucy even knew how she got that high on the mountain. I think she's like, I don't know how I got here. I'm not supposed to be here. I'm a little afraid of the

heights right now. OK, But but whether she's like, you know what, F that fear, I'm going to keep climbing or I'm going to jump off because I'm too scared. We'll see what happens. What? What did Lucy say? She she wanted to go to Indy and she was looking for lakes and mountains. So she's a fan of mountains. John had to inform her that that ain't in Indy. You're far away from lakes and and it or mountains and and lakes aren't that great around. There, Indiana's about as flat as Florida.

Lucy. Yeah. Yeah, it's not great at Boss man AUS, Australia maybe, I don't know, Not having any social media, the only time I hear about the WTF is when you and other podcasters talk about it. For me, I wouldn't have a clue about it if you guys didn't cover it. You're welcome. Maybe if you stop talking about it, it might disappear. Morgan Freeman, great quote. What is Michael Scott say green means? Go ahead and. And stop talking about it. Yeah.

And for people who don't know the WTF, that's what they call it, right? Is is the World Fitness Project. The Big W. We're not going to not talk about it. It's CrossFit. We're going to cover it. We just think it's dumb. Is it CrossFit? OK, like, listen, this is how this is what happens. Listen, Spin tells me, look at all these people are in Dubai and I say, yeah, it's nobody. And then we're done covering it. That's what that's how it

happens. And then and then if you want freaking, I don't know, the Norwegian CrossFit Championship, you can go watch that on another podcast. That's all they cover is, is competitions. It's competitions nobody cares about. OK, Like that's not that's not what we're going to do. We're here for what matters, OK? And we will cover it. We just don't think it's good. That's something. Am I? Am I? Am I on the line or off the line about that spin? No, you're you're accurate, I don't think.

And it could be good. I'm trying to be optimistic about it. I think it could be good. It's just everything that's run about it just is super shady. But I hope it's good. It's good for the athletes. Hiller, Hiller, I told you. I thought you didn't cuss, Hiller. Yeah, you did say that man. You. Said it today. Oh man. Tyler does say it, but it does say it though. You know it. It means something more. Here's.

Go, go ahead, Tyler. We don't have I, I was thinking about this driving around today because I got to wash the car. So it's like mowing day. Yeah, the, the idea, the essence of what the WFP could be is actually a good idea. It's the implementation stuff that we've had all the problems with. And so it's like, I think people are like, why do you guys hate them? It's like, no, we don't hate them. We've hate all the actions that have been made.

Yes, I also I find it hypocritical of the athletes who say we just want more more opportunities to compete in ways to make money, but yet but yet they won't compete in Dubai anymore. They half of them don't go to Watapalooza like the females. The female roster individuals at Tijuana Palooza the last two years, the last two years, not this past year was absolute trash. Like Danny Spiegel is the best going into it.

Was it 2-3 years ago? Last year got a little better because some of the women were like, that's true. I think this was well said. Whoever said that I did that comment fits with the with the narrative that we're talking about. And and athletes didn't do it right. There were opportunities to compete. Who goes to TFX? Nobody. I went to TFX. And if you go watch Jason CF Media interview with BKG today, it's wild like the first that. Was today.

That was today, yeah. OK, I thought that was an old one. No. And BKG was talking about how he loves the the WFP. Like, I don't know why anybody would hate it. It's more opportunities to see athletes compete. It's what we've wanted. He then later says, well, I can't do Wadlin Fest because that would be Wadlin Fest semifinals and then WFP in Indianapolis. That's too much. And then at the very end he starts recapping like like the second season, right?

So hopefully he qualifies for the games and he goes, I'll compete at the Games in August and then a couple weeks later I'll go to Arizona for the second tour event and then I'll go to Rogue. He's skipping out if he's, I don't even know if he's going to go to Waterplooza Socal, but Rogue. And then in December he'll go to the finals. And then it hit him. He's like, this is the first time that I've thought about it and that's a lot of competing. I might have to retire after

this season. So he just said yes, he's like, yeah. And then he's like, that's crazy, like. And Spin's been saying this for months. Like he's like, you know, four months ago Spin was like, guys, I don't think you understand what this means. Like and. And then and then podcast in Iceland. And OK, and then and Glee, Glee hit it on the head. And I feel like we've been saying this forever.

And that's why. And I don't even think we're against it. We're against how how they're going about it. You know, like Glee's is the biggest problem for me with WFP is to claim they don't want to compete with the Games. And everything that they do contradicts that. What's out there, John? No, some dudes in my parking. Lot what's out there all right. Yeah, not there was a no, OK there. There is a burglar that was running around.

That was the street behind us and we got like an e-mail about it, like, and there was a helicopter like it was a kind of a big deal. And you live in John. And it was Houston and it was, it was a street. It was a street behind us. And I was real mad about it because I had to carry groceries in and the door was locked and I had so many groceries were scared and I was like open the freaking. Door. Why the door locked? And then she's like.

They're going to give me Leslie. There's a burglar and no, no, I didn't know about this burglar. And. And well, it's such a weird burglar. Oh, I wouldn't. I wouldn't. Yeah, because I can't open the door. I can't unlock it because my hands are full, Tyler. And I'm just sitting there looking like a freaking Girl Scout just waiting for somebody opened the door and she's got the baby, right? I know it's going to be a while

before this door gets open. And so I put all the freaking groceries down and top the freaking unlock code to unlock the door and then have to get all the groceries again, which is a whole system because she's scared of this burglar. I wish they would have titled it like Murderer, like there's like Burglar. I think of the Hamburglar. I'm just not scared of burglar, right? Anyway, I don't know how I kept on. That my nuggies. Let me in. That's what he was. After what? What? What?

Were we talking about? I forgot I had a I don't know how I got. On 1st there's money keeping it real 499 thank. You no, no, I had AI had a reason for that and and. No, you're looking out the window. You. Just got. Sidetracked. Oh, OK, yes, yes, yes. I was looking out the window because of this. There's there's stuff going on. So I was making sure nothing, it's fine. It's the neighbors. I heard a lot of excuses, but not a lot of this is how many burpees I had Spin.

That doesn't matter. It wasn't competition it was getting. It was getting the seven minutes of burpees done. He's training, he's not competing. I. Literally went outside, I walked in the garage, I did 7 minutes of burpees and I walked back inside. That was what I did today. That sounds so depressed. That is what that was my workout for the day. No, I think back going back to the WFP, my issue. In to Glee's point of everything they do contradicts it.

They could have done this starting in September and just screwed over all of the other competitions that are in the offseason. But no, they chose to start in May, which is well. Unless you listen to the interview on Calendar and Culture with Jason. Did you listen to that one? I listened to it, but what about it? Well, I think Jenny pointed this out is that the timeline is like basically they they were flying the plane had no runway and it's like, hey, we need to build the

runway like right now. Yeah. I mean, he, he basically, I do do remember that and he basically he pretty much confirmed that Oklahoma City was on the docket. Like that was their plan that we thought had heard and then it was a last minute switch. But Even so, like, why rush and do it in May if you're scrambling and building it as you speak? Give yourself nine more months and start it in the offseason. Well, sounds like they were in a hurry.

OK, but that. They've had this done since September, Tyler. Yeah, this is all been part of the plan. OK, well, Jason joined in like December. He joined the right after the mid-december or No, It was after November, I thought. December. No, we talked to him after Thanksgiving and then he waited and didn't hear anything back. And then he got a call after the Legends on Monday on his way home. You're hired. So yeah, Melanie Hodge, slow down, Spin.

You're making too much sense. I know, I know. It's always been Spin's problem. Yeah. So I mean, I don't think we're not going to not cover it, but it's we're going to share what our opinions are and we're not going to just find the positive out of it like. You piece of shit. I'm just being I'm sharing my opinion and. We're going to be objective. We're going to be objective about it or subjective, subjective about it. We're. Going to be subjective about it. I want to push against this a

little bit. I in defense of the WFPI, actually I think that this happened to coincide with the death. Did it offer some strategic advantage? Probably, but I don't, I don't think that they actively probably were going after that. So I think it. Was already in the nothing to happen. Yeah, go go back and listen to Wilmore Ads interview with coffee pods and wads in September. Or October, Yeah.

I went back because I wanted to see because, you know, obviously I think they're everybody's seen it now. No squatting, yeah, in the qualifier if you. Weren't aware of. That I wanted to go back. So I knew that Wilmore had hurt his hip back during the semifinals. Does that have anything to do with no squatting in the qualifier?

I don't know. But as I was listening to that, what Will said and now looking back at everything that we know now, like back then you didn't know what was going on. But he's talking about a season and a structure and all this stuff and that, like, it seemed really close to saying that like, this is getting pushed forward because of what happened

at the games. Yeah, Oh, I I don't disagree that it's pushed forward to happen sooner than they wanted it to because of because of Lazar, but I think it was already in the works. I don't think they just like, hey, now is like, we need to make something. I think they were already making it and then they were like, this is the perfect time. Like, you know, they're they're not going to be a better time to get people to come away and come over here. Well, I mean.

If you were already frustrated with HQ, the games, the season, all that stuff, and you see all these athletes pulling out, you know that that's going to happen. And then you're just and and you're, you're absorbing. I'm imagining Will was talking to a lot of people at the games at the time. You're like, hey, what can we do to help the athletes? Like they could have framed it that way. I don't think it was framed as Lazar died. Everybody's pissed. Let's let's hop on this like that.

That probably was no. No, well, you're not going to frame it like that, but that's that's what it is though. And I mean and. Functionally. Yeah. And I mean, I don't, I don't blame them for doing that. Like, and it worked. I mean, you got half the European contingent not doing the games and doing WFP like I, I, you know, it worked for them. Yeah, Heard, Heard Athletics new you too member. Thank you. Thank you for joining.

You see that? How we found the positive spin on that whole situation instead of making it super fucking. And good on Colton for being 2nd place without any squatting. Look at, look at that guy up there. What a muscle up. Nice shirt, that's amazing. Where is that a saw dungeon? Cross Spit Goose Creek in Franklin, TN. Spit Goose. Goose Creek. Goose Creek. It's on the road. It's called Goose Creek. That's awesome. Yeah. Good stuff. World Fitness project qualifier

ended. Sorry Hiller, we're going to talk about it. I did not qualify. I submitted 1 score just outside the top 30. You were notable though. I was notable. Jenny Dense did say that I missed out was one of the notable athletes to miss. Out that's that's that's. The I probably had more followers on Instagram than most of those that just missed out, so I. Just left that little wink. It was. It was like a good. One, I mean other than Colton, who would you not have more followers in annual?

Maybe Nick Matthew. No, the ones that just missed out in the Challenger below. Oh. OK. Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm thinking everybody. Periods you definitely have more followers than Chris Admira Bolton does. Maybe Nick Matthew. Nick Matthews. Got a Anika fee? I'm not counting the girls. Girls are different. It's not fair, yeah. Jack Rosenwald, I think you'd have more followers than Jack Fallow might be one on the edge, maybe. Maybe so. Anyway, it wrapped up.

They're still doing video review. Oh, unblown and unblowable. WFP is such a terrible name. That is a crazy. Name coming from the greatest name of all time. That profile photo is nuts. Dads, I kind of really want to figure out who that is. That's, that's, that's a that's a crazy name, man. I, I, I I feel bad about it. For $1.99 they can come in all they want. Heavy savvy. Ignore my last two member comments. Let's go for three. There you go.

I don't know what else you I don't know what you posted. It didn't highlight it for me. Sorry, heavy savvy. I don't know some names that we know, some names we don't. If you are a Challenger, do you go to Indianapolis? Can you and then just remind everybody what it would take for a challenger to make it to the Pro next year?

Well, we don't know. So basically what what this what happens is the top ten that that pro line, those 10 athletes will go and compete against the the signed athletes that have already signed it. And they don't have contracts these top. Ten, they don't have contracts as far as I know, that they have to pay for their own way to Indianapolis. However, if you're in the pro division, you're guaranteed some type of prize money. I think the lowest is $500.00 for the last five spots.

Do they pay for your flights to the European ones? Well, I'll get to that in a second. The tour events, if you're, if you qualify through the online qualifier, you compete against the pros, you're you're going to get some prize money, but you got to pay for everything to get there. If you're a challenger, you get no prize money. You pay for yourself and all you get is points. So the only. And no matter what, if you're like, if you're, if you're a challenger and you win, you win it.

You get 200 and 52150 points if you if you just show up as a pro and pull Bethany Flores and just like do £95 back squats, you get 270 points. So if you're Chris Ibarra and you beat everybody, so you beat Jeff Adler like you win. Yeah, because, well, you, I don't know. If people do the same workouts. Oh, you mean in the in the workouts, assuming that they're programmed the same? I would imagine that you're going to be. In the series like if you beat everybody you get less points

than the last place pro person. Yeah, dude, it works like it works. It's going to work like the the scale division in the open. But that means, like you, there's no shot for you to do anything. Right, you're in your own league. You basically have to then in the tour event to finish in the top ten and beat out a whole bunch of people. If like if Colton goes into goes to Arizona too, you got to beat out like a lot of those athletes too, like.

So, OK, the only argument I have of why you would do it is if so, if you don't do it, you're going to lose. You're going to lose your points that you would make at the event. So the challenger, the qualifier doesn't get you any points, right? No, but the qualifier makes it to where you can get way more

points. For for challengers, I would say for challengers, as weird as the sounds, the performance in the online qualifier is as important, possibly even more important than what you actually do. It's way more important because it's everything because it caps. You don't matter if you're not in the if. You're 11th or 30th. You've basically capped yourself out at 250 points, regardless of how well you.

Do and and you will not make the top ten like after the year no matter what you do. You need to be top. You need to be top 20. But you still won't make top 20. There's there's 20 signed people and then the 10 people that are in the pro thing that will all get more points than you even if you win. Well, the The thing is though, the finals has double the points. So the idea is, the idea is that you just make it into the top 30 to go to Copenhagen for the finals and then you just crush

everybody in the finals. We all know that's not going to happen. You know, if you're Chris Ibarra, you know you're not beating those every, not beating the top people. Let's pause for a second. Riley has a good question. So what's the challenger, what's a pro? And what's assigned athlete took of you? So assigned athlete it are the athletes who are who didn't have to compete in the qualifier. You can think about them as the D1 level athletes.

They have the contracts they have and they have the contracts. Nobody else has a contract. They are the ones with the contract. They have $30,000 a year, but they have to. They're contracted to go to all three of the competitions. They have to. They're contracted. The pros are essentially free agents. They don't have a. Contract.

They're they're walk ONS. That's a good way of thinking about it. So they're walk ONS, they have to compete in an online qualifier, which the signed athletes didn't have to qualify in to compete at the pro level. And the top ten now from now here on out, they don't have a contract, they don't have $30,000. But that top ten, they are essentially the same as the people with the contracts. They compete for the same spots, they compete for the same prize money, they compete for the same

amount of points. There's nothing different from that top 10 as the contracted people. They just don't get $30,000 to start the year essentially what it is. And they have to, you know, get to the competitions right. So well, they're treated like a walk on. But if your walk on is started, you know what I mean? Like is one of your better, like you get your better running back or receiver record, It doesn't matter. You're walking on starting right Challenger. Challenger is on the.

Practice. They're on the practice team, they are in the league, but they're not like they're in their own system. They're not going to compete with these athletes in the pros I. But like, I think it's even less than that. Like the like, like, like the way to think about it, like if it's a football team, if I was in college right now and I was like, I want to be on Mizzou's team. And then what I would do is that's the Challenger level.

Yeah, you're going to try outs. I'm doing nothing like is what I'm doing. Right. Yeah, sorry. Yeah, as far as I can tell and it what I would expect because based on how they're sharing, talking about the broadcast it the challengers and pros are going to go back-to-back and then there's going to be a break and they're going to go back-to-back and go to be a break. Probably the exact same

workouts. I don't imagine they would lower the weights for somebody that that's the difference there. You just get less points. Some some questions here. Monty Yernick, is there a qualifier for each WFP event? Yes, for the 1st 2:00 at the end of the second Tour event. The at the top 30 athletes with points go to Copenhagen for the finals. So that's why you would do the Challenger anyway. If you are, I guess there's technically a because. You could be the top 10 for the

next one. There's there's I guess a potential that if you're a signed contract athlete that you don't make in the top 30, like you finish last each time and then it just happens to be the 10 pros that come in do really, really well and they bump you down. You're still contractor. I think you still have a spot. Just for that year, but this year. Oh, just for that. Year. Yeah, I don't know if that's the case. Barkley brought up a good point, Walt.

Guns don't have to make posts. Yeah, and that's why Colton ultimately did not accept his contract. They offered him one and then he said no because he doesn't want to post about it and so he did the pro thing online just to get back in because he knew he would make 30,000 in the open. So he was like, I'm just going to do this anyway and then I don't have to post about you. John, you're spraying fake news. They didn't even ask Colton. WFP does.

WFP does not like Colton that. Is that is a joke. Don't take it off. Don't. Don't go and run with that, sorry. Mine's the truth. John's just. No, take it very seriously. True Meredith, if a challenger wins the competition, will they win first place prize purse in the pro division? Yes. If you're a challenger, you're competing for points and $0.00. No. So the the challengers aren't even in the same competition as the pros. It's the same workouts, we think, but it's not even the

same competition. You're only against other challengers. You're not against the pros. You're you're second tier. You're a peasant, I tweeted. System. I tweeted, I said in the if you're in the qualifier division of the WFP, it's the same as being in the RX division at Wadapalooza. Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. And we've seen Royce Dunn qualify and he's like, screw that, I'm not going. No. And and I would if I was a challenger, I wouldn't go. I I get what you're saying.

Like you still probably do it for the first time because there's the second qualifier, right. But after that. That's a big ask, though, for somebody like Emily Deroy or Caleb Clements. If you live here, I think, I think if you're European or Asian or Australian or New Zealander, I, I wouldn't, I wouldn't do it. I I just don't think it's worth

it if you're. Dedicated to this I. And then it cost you so much money to travel and then like, and then for like Chris, like if you're 11th place in the European one, you're I wouldn't, I just am done with it. You know what I mean? And then try again next year. Oh shit, I want to shout out an athlete for a second.

It it, it would be #26 or 27. On the female side, Janie Chevery in research for this episode, she has done like every single qualifier for any event that she can go to this year, including this, all the semifinals. Her name was on every single leader. Is she on the Far East throwdown in? Asia, I didn't, I didn't check Far East, but. There's a way to make the games. I'm going to do it, yeah. Does all the qualifiers like all of them?

Yeah, Jenny Denz another one. Jack Farlow has no other option now his season is over if he doesn't do Challenge. And he's not. And again, like Spin said, like like this one means nothing and are you going to travel to Europe banking that you can be the top ten in the next one? Like I just, yeah, your season's over. So, and challengers that go, they're going to go to Indy it let's assume they all go to Indy.

You get your points that you got in Indy, you now have to do the qualifier for Arizona. And then let's say you qualify for the Arizona in the challenger division. Your points from Indy will carry over and you'll also get points at Arizona, right? But that's still going to put you in the Challenger division. Well it depends on how many people that are in the pro right now re qualify for the pro. Right, so say they have an athlete pop down.

Let's let's pick on. Like if all if all 10 of the pros re qualify for the pro division in in Mesa you don't have a chance because you can't. You get less points. You need somebody in the pro division. To not qualify. To not qualify or to do the fall down to the challenger division and then you beat them like you have to be in the pro division at least once. To have a chance. To have a chance, I think got you. OK.

So yeah, it's I I don't know if you go like and then there's obviously I'll look like a John's getting some. Oh geez. OK, I will. You're people can hear you. John's bulking, OK. I have not eaten yet so keep talking about this thing. You're excited. Keep going. Exciting stuff. It turns, John, you turn your camera off, but we can say, are you fucking eating? I'm sorry, I'll be myself. Anyway, go ahead. Like, and then what also is like we, you know, we talk about the

overlap. There's athletes on here that are that are slated to compete at French Throwdown. So like Andrea Sloberg, Ella Wilkinson I think is in there. She is, I think ODA Luke Luden, van Var Thurman I think might be there. Like there's a decent. Of it, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like there's a bunch that are now having to make a direct decision. Do I go for a game spot or do I try this? Do I do I travel to Indianapolis on my own dollar to see how this

goes. Like at least Andrea Solberg, you get you have the the ability to earn enough points, you get some prize money, but at the same time French throw downs not going to have any of the Europeans who are the top athletes at World Fitness project. French is light. I was going through their list and I was like, oh there like there isn't a ton of big name athletes that are going. Right. So that that adds another one like where do you, which way do

you go? Like, right, I'm not convinced that if you're Andrea Sulberger, Ella Wilkinson, that you you just automatically go to Indianapolis. No, I I literally looked at Ella and I was like. You can make it. You could make it. She's been on the come up for the past couple years in the European division. And so it's like dude, like it would be, that would be very hard. I would be surprised if she goes. She's from, she's from Britain. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So yeah, I don't know how you

how you make that decision. That and This is why I think the challenger, the qualifier for an event, should. You should get points for that. Yeah. What, just on the qualifier, Yeah, but how do you then balance that out for the actual in person competition? I mean, you include that, too. It's just another competition Barkley and I have. Have talked, yeah, but but then but then the the sign pros don't have points there. If you just give them more points, it doesn't matter

either. Well, you just, I, you set it to a number that makes sense to where the pros are always going to have more. So if you do both the qualifier and the challenger, you're still not going to equal to the pros, but you have to be incentivized to do, to do the, to do the, the

qualifying event. The, the reason I bring this up, Barkley and I have talked for ages about like, you can't just throw out like we used to think about the quarterfinals, those quarterfinals events like you're competing against everyone. And so your results in those events mattered a lot because you beat all the freaks in every event. Right. No, that's true. All right, well, let's let's move off of World Fitness project. We've done plenty of talking

about that. Now it's time to say who is games bound before we get into actually showing sharing our pics first, how does the actual season work? So I made this little infographic yesterday. I'm done guys. You done? OK, that's fast. So we start with the CrossFit Open. We are done. The top 1% of those athletes think of the CrossFit Open as the gatekeeper to the top athletes in the world as basically narrowing down the field to actually compete in the

rest of the season. 1201 men are now eligible, 1200 women, there's actually only 957, I think was the actual top 1%, but it's the minimum of 1200. So 1200 women, it's a little over 1% now can technically qualify through an in person qualifying event, which is like the Mayhem Classic coming up next weekend, the in affiliate semifinals, that's the online portion or the last chance qualifier.

At the end of the day, through all three of those channels, we'll have a field of 30 men and 30 women. Stage 2, which I'm saying includes the in person qualifying events or the in affiliate semifinal or the last chance qualifier will send that many people per competition to the games. If you qualify at Mayhem Classic and you decide to go to Norcal later on and you also finish in the top two, your invite comes from Mayhem and so third place would then get the the invite to Norcal.

So there's no like backfill spots back in 2019, the Open is what determined that was like the first. Like that's how you got in first and then all of these other sanctionals were like backfields after that. There's none of that. The first place you qualify, that's where you qualify from and you're done. So I don't think given where a lot of these athletes are, other than maybe Colton, I don't think you'll see them compete in multiple events should they qualify, right?

Like there's that. There's really no reason to go into the to the in affiliate semifinal if you've already won Mayhem Classic. I think he in particular, I, I think for most other athletes they won't, but I think he's committed to doing Norcal anyway. And then last Chance Qualifier, we know it's the weekend after Norcal Classic, we know it's the four days that cover the Community Cup, but we don't have any other details.

I imagine it's going to be any one of those top 1% athletes can now do the last chance qualifier. Just like the N affiliate semifinal. It's one last chance. Dude, what if you just didn't do any of the qualifiers and then. Try to get first place she's. Trying to get first place in LCQ, that would be amazing. That would be. That'd be walk off over. That's calling your shot, I'm sorry and and it's and it's online. You got no idea what's what's what this is about to be. Yeah, I'm gonna.

I'm gonna go ahead and go all in. Especially since they're they're asking affiliate owners to submit their workout options. Oh, they're. Yeah, you could. You could submit a workout if you're an affiliate owner to be included in the community. Does that count as WFP affiliates? Are they allowed to submit their workouts? They're a CrossFit affiliate, I guess. I I don't think they are. They're WFP affiliates. They're both, John. They can be both.

They can be both. OK, they're the non squatting affiliates. Yeah. So what we're going to do now is we're going to, we're going to walk through the Stage 2. Let's do it. And rather than all of us giving who we think's going to do qualify out of each stage, we're going to collaborate, probably argue, probably argue a bit and decide who who's who we're going to send from each one of these to see which 30 men and 30 women. So we're going to start out. With. We're going to go in order.

Yeah, obviously we have to. Women, men, women. We're going to do the men. All right. Who is going to the CrossFit Games? Mayhem Classic. Otherwise known as the Hatfield Invitational. And that's going to be the first man that gets his ticket. First place in the Mayhem Classic is going to be none other than Austin. Hold on. Hold on there. Hold on there, John. Hold on. All right. Mayhem Classic. We've had lots of roster changes on the men's side. You guys talked about it on Sivan.

He went through who was kind of notable, who was going to make it. Roman Kranikov was one of your guys. Jason Hopper Gmail. No, not key. James Sprague. Austin Hatfield. Colton Mertens, I think that was it of Jason. Did I mention? Yeah. Like those five guys were guys that. That's the tier. That you thought could qualify. John, you're you're pretty hyped up on Hatfield. It's a home turf forum.

It's going to be rich fronting programming that means a lot of CrossFit and not like specialized kind of events. And that's got Hatfield's name all over. It do you think he do you think he wins? I do. I'm, I'm, I'm picking Austin to win, win the Mayhem Classic. Tyler, do you agree? Do you agree with Hatfield qualifying? He will qualify. He's not my number one. I also have him qualified but not #1. I would imagine we agree on the number one. I think so. All right, so we got that

doesn't really matter. No, it doesn't. It's. Just worth noting that John will be wrong. I think if you guys are both saying Colton that you are sipping tea that you shouldn't be sipping. Not Colton. OK, the next one, Tyler, they agree with you. Dallon's not in. It Dallon's not even freaking competing, Tyler, right? Great job, Tyler. So Austin Hatfield's winning for Tyler. Austin Hatfield is winning for Tyler.

Book it. Jason, if it's not Dallon, it's Jason. But yes, that Austin will win if Dallon. 'S not. There we go, let's go. I have Hopper in agreeance. I have Hopper. I actually think Hopper can win this he. Can. More. Not to say that Hatfield can't. I just think Hopper can put together an entire competition and whereas we have not seen Hatfield do that. Yet you're absolutely right. You're absolutely right. I cannot argue this, but that's why I think Hatfield can win

this because it's only 6 events. He's got less room to screw it. Up right, that's what I'm saying. I don't. I think he got his first year wiggles out of him. I don't think he's going to screw up all that much. I I love in behind the scenes of the, the OR yeah, the open announcement. I think it was sailor's behind the scenes. Dallas said Hatfield will find a way to get 31st place in an

event. And like the bad thing about it is I can't argue it because he hasn't done it yet, but and which is why his place in the mountain is where it is. He'd be higher if he could do it. But in Wadapalooza, I thought he executed pretty darn well, except the the the sled drag and that got a lot of people. He's just one of the people it also got. But other than that, you know, he was did we was what he's, you know, around what he should do in the the run box, jump over

bike one. And then he was second, first, first, first. Like I'm each competition he's done, he's gotten better at executing. Jason Hopper is my number 2. John's my favorite Christie. We will put Hopper. We will put Hopper in there. She spells her name the same way my mom does, just worth noting. Also Glee. Sorry sorry, spin. Tyler's also always so perfectly. Wait till we get to #10 listen. It surprised me. It surprised me when you said now it I, I was surprised.

This is the most complicated what we're going to do here and like go through this is not going to give it justice to how much thinking you had to do going through this. This is the hardest. Like I've had to work to come up with picks ever in my life. It gets even harder after the N affiliate semifinal. Yeah, what about this? They'll be everyone's sleeping on Sprague. You know, I'm not against this comment. He could, he could I, he's a possible. I think any of the five guys could win.

I mean, any of the five guys could get the second spot of the ones that we named. It truly kind of just depends on the programming. Sprague is or not. I'm not sleeping on Sprague. I just like Austin Moore for this competition. I think I think Sprague's capable, but I also know heavy Isabel's one of the events. And if 17 percent is something that I think James is going to be behind and not even by a lot. But if he's 10th place, I find it hard for him to make that up to win.

You know what I mean? Your winner's not going to have a 10th place, right? And that's, that's, that's the, that's the thought. Process with the field of 20 definitely. And the field of 20 is elite. It's not like TFX preview to that one. It's like, you know what I'm saying? Where where you know what? He doesn't have Isabel.

He gets 6th place and he can like make up ground on so many other people at different spots because it feels not as strong when the you have 5 people that honestly could win the CrossFit Games. It's you're not going to get ahead of those people if 17% of the competition is Isabel. Interesting how this year the CrossFit Games winner will be the underdog, yeah. And he's not It's. Only because that workout and. And he hurt us.

I want to talk. About this, so I'm not, I'm not going to speak for everybody else, but I think that they're probably in agreement with me. I like Colton and I'm hype on what Colton's showed definitely through the opening over the past couple months. This is a lie. OK, we need to point out lies, Glee. Remember what happened to Magnus Glee? Colton has history working against him for our picks for

semifinal or this semifinal. Everybody's saying I'm talking, I'm talking about Sprague. How did Colton even get into this in this? Conversation, Julie or Vicki said. Colton's fueled up now, Glee said. Colton is so pissed right now. Yeah, I mean, he's in the top five. We have to pick 2. I don't I agree with what you guys said on Sivan Show on Friday night. Like he's definitely in the running.

Like Roman's in the running. James is in the running like any, I think any of those five guys can do it. Yeah, I, I like and I, I totally, I completely agree and and believe that Rich and Angelo have kept the programming like secret. I don't think they've given it to anybody. But it is Mayhem programming, right? And so going into this first one, Hatfield is a Mayhem athlete.

Like regardless of what you say about like home field, like bias, like Rich and Angel are not going to just go do workouts that are so far off what they kind of do it mayhem anyway. Right, there's going to be some bias built in now. But I will say, like if the freaking if there's a workout with like 7 legless road climbs in the middle of it, but it's sandwiched between a bunch of bench press, now all of a sudden Colton is in it for the top 2. Yeah, he's justifiable as

anybody else. That's not like, you know, we don't know the programming. And like, that's why I don't make like official predictions until I know the programming that comes out. All of a sudden Colton's name will get thrown up there like that. But until I know that I'm not going to, and until he goes top five at the games, like I don't have a reason to either. That's that's that's true. Moving on to Copa. So don't worry, I'm going to bring up Colin's name real soon.

All right? Y'all don't worry. Real soon, Copa Sewer. They don't have to spend a lot of crap on this one. I'm gonna. Go lots of dudes. Don't say you're going. To go Hey team meatspin Nicholas Bedon, Augustin Rochelle May, Bruno Marins is travelling from Dubai to go compete there. Ben Gutierrez has been up there. Pedro, Martins, Cali and Sousa I think are the the bigger names. I don't think anybody on the second page has a chance unless you disagree.

Dude, I mean I'm going to go Marin's and Sousa. I don't think they deserve two names. Is that Tyler? Do you agree? Marin's? I agree. I'm going to go on Nicholas Benden or however he said. Bedone. Bedone. Is that cuz he was on your team? Yes. No, I was he on my team? No, he wasn't on my team. He was on spin. Maybe he was not on my. He was on my team. And I remember seeing his name a bunch. Definitely impressive in the open. Means nothing.

But that doesn't mean anything when it comes to Copa Sewer. That's fair. Like Kale Lehman, George Sterner would then be up there in the mayhem Classic talk. And they're not. I'm going to go with with John and say Souza. I will see the argument. As he should. Nobody picked Augustine. He hasn't made it in a while, man. He's just, he's just, I think Marion and Souza are just better than him when it comes to games programming. I think South America was behind for a minute and nobody was

strong enough. And then Raquel made could still like sneak in there because he is top tier elite at like gymnastics workouts, right? And he's very good conditioning. But there wasn't anybody that was at that level and Gee, except Gee, right. And Gee's the the polar opposite of him. I think South America has taken a step up in its fitness. Not a lot as far as like games games go. Well, Raquel may would be bottom

of the tier. You know, if he makes the games, he's bottom of the tier games athlete, right? And I think South America has taken a step up in fitness where it's not just he's the fittest guy there, there just wasn't anybody else. And I think Marin's and Sue's are just better. Barkley with some detail. Badon's coaches. Ficundo. He was in the elite division at Waterpaloo. Tier Waterpalooza, Barkley tier Wadapalooza. Really nice guy. Where did he finish Barkley?

I don't remember talking. Really nice guy, means he didn't finish. High. I was curious to say that. That's what that means. Moving on to Wadland Fest, this one is the first European one. It is also the last. I think it's the week before in affiliate semifinal. Me and Tyler should have done this qualifier, man. Tyler, we would have. We would have made this qualifier.

We could have done this. This is when the Wollenfest Wollenfest invited like 80 men and like 72 women or something like that, plus plus special invites. They don't have a full roster yet, but like Colin Bossard, Fabian Herman's, Martin Cuervo, Yuri Merechenko, Savan Greens, Roman is in this one too. Roman is in this one. Bronislaw And then they do have some special invites.

So Aniolakai, Fabian, Benito, we've already said Roman, Roman Krenikov, Spencer, Panchick. I think that's the most notable names there. Calum Clemens, a Spaniard. What do you guys have for Tyler? Let's start with you. We start with. John and I both, I think Roman Kranikov. That's my number one pick. Roman. Oh, and and Yoda Kowski is in there, too. Yoda, oh, Yoda kind of throws a mix into it a little bit. It does a little, but it doesn't change me at all. Is oh man, it does me not not my

number one. It makes #2 hard though, dude. I have Roman as #1. Yeah, I have Roman as one as well. I'm going to go with annual as #2 but I do I have Koski's really good man, but I. I have Yona I. Have Spencer Panjik which John will hate because. He hates the Panjiks. Why do you hate that? When is a panchick ever been good as Wynn has a panchick? One has gone to the games like every year except. For and never podium and everybody said he could. Podium.

To the games. Wynn has a Panchick done what people wanted them to do. All right, John. Saxon Panchick got 6th one year and everybody was like super, super high on him. And then and that that's the one time a Panchick outdid expectations. Well, there's not been one other time. Why are you going to OK, so you're arguing this but they've all been to the games. What? I mean anyol's been to the games but like. Koski's better. I I koski Koski I koski he's.

Also. Sorry for what I'm about to say, Yona. He's also old. He's not old. He's not old, he's just, he's his body's. Getting. Beaten down. Listen, Koski is the right pick. I'm picking annual as as a heart. We got a pull up. Yeah, let's go, let's go Daniel Koski and then and then Spencer Panchick. I guess we could put him in the pool, but annual Akai just really, really impressed me at Socal. I just think he's getting fitter and fitter.

I think he's on his way up and not like like you know, I think Koski, this is what he is. We know what he is. He's top ten games athlete. I think Annual's on his way up. I also think Koski kind of depends on the competition. There's some he does really well in, some he doesn't do great in. He's kind of inconsistent a little bit right. And Annual Akai just think it's getting fitter and fitter. Koski is still the right pick. I'm picking Annual just off of

my heart. Well, Spencer Pin, Spencer Panchick is at 10% right now. He is out. Come on guys, we need a few more votes. We're at 44 votes. We need to get at least get to 50 to have a enough of a I'm going to pull the science in these votes. Statistical majority 49 votes. One more, one more vote. We got forty, 5254%. Go with Yona Koski. Yona Yona is in all. Right, fine. James Bragg, Colton and James making two spots. Colton and James taking the two

spots. I'm not going to, I'm not going to take that blackmail James, if I'm supporting your body. Hey, Mama, Hatfield is on here, so we get some support from Mama. Yeah, G counts. Until we get Miss Sprague on here, I don't know if we can if we can right pick you up there is all I'm saying. Jason. Hopper, we appreciate your support. Hopper definitely watches too. Opera just watches and hate. Justin does not watch. There's no chance. There you go dude.

I said on get with the programming something about Jason and he called me like 3 hours later and he goes, I heard what you said on that show. It's like look at that, is that the real? Unfortunately we do not know that's the real Haley. I just really don't. Think it is the longer this joke, if it is a joke, goes on I I start to wonder if. You're, I'm going to start to believe it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, why wouldn't it be it OK guys, it it's the same.

It's the same thumbnail as her YouTube channel. So dude definitely is definitely is the real Haley Adams. Well, we'll see if we pick you and the women's side, Haley, I think Tyler, Tyler, Tyler changed his pick just because you commented. I 100%. Would not doubt it. All right, all right. Now we're going into May in affiliate semifinal, top 11 in the world. So basically this is like this is basically like quarterfinals. This is going to be quarterfinals. We don't know the number of

workouts. It's going to be the same number of days, but it has to be inside a CrossFit affiliate. So OK, I need a clarifying point because Dallon kind of screwed up stuff for me. OK. So Dallon is going to do an affiliate? Yes, I would think of this as everybody you know is doing this. OK, yeah, except for those who have already. Qualified except for. Well, and they can. They just don't count my first

pick. You want to go down the line, I'll do a first pick, you'll do a second and third, and then we're all in agreeance. I'll try, I didn't put that in order. I think we'll get a lot of them the same. Yeah. My first pick for this one is going to be I'm going to say Colton wins the online qualifier. I'm going to say he wins it. It's going to be really

impressive. And this means a lot more like if he were to do this, this means a lot more to me than the Open. It actually means like I will be very impressed with it, but I'm going to call him to do it. Dallon is like my initial thought and Jeff like Dallon. Jeff and Colton are my top three. But I'm not too worried about the the placement because we'll never. No, no, I'm not either.

I'm not either, but I'm calling him to win this right And then he wins this and he wins the affiliate in affiliate semi final and it's just it's going to get a lot of like a lot of hype. You know what I'm saying? And I'm excited. I'm excited for it also. I do want to announce this. I guess it's a good time to announce this. Colton Mertens will also be on my Grid League team. No shit. And it's going to be amazing. Colton, are you ever? Going to have a weekend. Off.

Now listen. Listen now. Hey, hey, listen. It's just just for July. We have two matches. It's like July, it's like half your matches though. It's half the season. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we we have like a double header in July. He's not going to come to the May 1 or the one in June, but he's going to come to the two in July in Dallas. So if get hyped because it's going to be awesome. Yeah, I'm really excited for it. And then like if he wants to do the championship, he's welcome

to the championship. We signed him on the team. I said you just have to come to the one in July. You don't you don't have to do anything else. I basically said, hey, you don't worry about it at all. And then just come in July and and. And. And he's, and I said it now so he has to even if he was, even if he was joking, awesome, I. Bet he was. I also so Colton's on my list, so I think we should just. Yeah, hungry. I have him as well making it this way.

Awesome. So to pay for his flight to Dallas, which is very short flight, the pigs have officially went live again. OK, along with a couple of teeny weenies. OK, so if you got a teeny weeny, we got Millie Maple and I think this one's Millie, this one's Maple. I get those. It's. Maple but. I call it Maple. I call it Maple. Calm it down and then Mr. Otis. I need a Mr. Otis for sure.

I need to follow those Papa. And so I think we're going to have like a group discount if you want them all, but but you go to mustard seed crochet on Instagram, we're officially selling those. 10% of the profit will go to Colton and Alley and that will cover his flight. That's how much these sell. You know, you got to order them quick because that's we're going to try to cover his flight to Dallas. And if we don't, then he can't be on my Grid League team.

So that's why you need to order those animals. And if you want to help John get to the Grid League events, you need to go buy Ajy Barbell shirt also. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll I'll figure a way. Do you have any shirts left or do they sell out? I still have shirts left but but. That's going to be the day you sell the last shirt. I really want to know. Feeling we got to bring this up. I can't talk this bad about somebody if if I'm not willing to face some music.

So if this if this if this is the real Scott panjet, I'm going to treat it like it is. Yeah, I get it. If y'all don't black people 100%, I get it. I get it a lot. Also, my family has not accomplished what your family has accomplished. You would not be on a podcast talking about my family. Listen, Scott, Scott, I'm doing the grid leak, Scott. What are you doing in June and July? If Scott came on your team. Hey, or, or you know what, hit up Saxon. Hit up Saxon.

You know he's not doing the games like I, you know I, but I get it. If y'all are pissed off, I would be too. I don't, I don't change. I don't, I don't change my opinion though. Like until one of y'all does something that I don't expect and it's yet to happen. So I don't change my opinion but I 100% get it. Oh dude he goes on the team that tried to cancel me. He goes, he goes on the. I really hope this is really Scott and I really hope he joins another team. He's going to join Big Mama.

So, but I get it. I don't change my opinion about it. You know you all are welcome to change it, but doing something there? You go. Good news. All right, Yeah, Yeah, on. To Tyler, do you have somebody that you want to put up for qualifying through the in affiliate semifinal? Dally the pip. Mr. Pepper, hard to disagree with that one, John, do you agree? No, I don't disagree. I am going to go with the next one, Mr. Adler. I think that's where he's going to put all of his effort to

qualify. Do you agree? I agreed this hurts a lot. If that's true, I would hope it's not, but if it is, that's. If it's fair, play it. Does hurt. God, that's a that's a genius play. We'll let we'll let the Spin podcast do the grid finals. Then John will join a team. Yeah, we'll get them cancelled. John will join a team and not get the Colton. Yeah, playing the long game.

All right, We got Colton Dallin, Mr. Adler, John, who's your next one you have qualifying through the N affiliate semifinal. Didn't think this far ahead. What do you mean? Did you not, did you not plan that the N affiliate semifinals there, John? I just planned the top three and I didn't care about anybody else. John, this is the most important part of the whole. Season. I know, I know, I know. How about Tyler, why don't you go since?

Yeah, here, here, here. Give me a minute and then I'll have the whole entire 11. I just got to. Sprague is my #3. For online semies, I disagree with that. I don't want to put that on the board. I haven't been there, do you think? He'll qualify though. I don't know yet. We'll hold off on Sprague since we don't have a A. Full my I think Ricky. I think Ricky would be next. I have Ricky qualifying Tyler. I have Ricky qualifying. You know what put James on

there? Oh good, I'm glad we have John's. Let's put James on there, all right? We got Sprague all right. We're halfway. Through I didn't want to put James on here because I want it for another reason and like this isn't anything against James but y'all, y'all will see why I I what I see happening in my head is not that and for a reason. We don't want to know what's happening. That's. True. I have the guy who blocked me, Justin Medeiros.

He is on my. List All right, well, now that Justin is on here, this is what I was thinking I was. Thinking do you say medeiros qualifies? No, I want Jay Crouch to qualify over Josh. I wanted to say Jay Crouch first. But that, yeah, I'm just saying is Justin does. Justin qualifies. He one of the 11 that qualifies. John's fighting this hard. He knows the right answer, but he doesn't want to say it. He doesn't want to.

He doesn't want to admit it. I can put my apparent differences differences aside and say Justin will. I like Justin. I don't know what you guys are talking about. I'm. Just think he qualifies and why aren't? You saying it? I'm just, I'm just looking through things I guess. Even when he was down two years ago, he's still 1/4 finals. Yeah, you're right. You're right. You're right. OK, put him up there. All right, John. Jay Crouch. I agree. Tyler, I assume you agree? Jay.

All right, Tyler, I'm going to go with oldest. I do not agree with that one. Really. Not in the qualifier or the semifinal. Why you think things will just be too heavy for him? Yeah, it'd be just one in one workout. That will not. They'll knock him out. Yeah. Damn, that's a good point. We can sidebar him. I have, I have. I have Akai assuming that he doesn't qualify through Wildland Fest. That's how I have him making it. OK, I don't. I don't. I don't, I don't disagree with that.

If he doesn't, yeah, I'm, I'm for that. Damn it. All right, so. But we don't have all of us. Let's see, John. I'm going to go Moritz Febig. I have Febig in there, he's done well in online qualifiers in the past. But isn't he's he's shit all over CrossFit, right? He's in it. He did not do the World Fitness project. What? OK, then I didn't include Moritz because I thought he was just kind of shitting on it. But yeah, include Moritz.

Tyler. I'm afraid you guys are I I want, I want this out there before. Well, we, we, we have another round. Shit, this is getting hard. I want to say Bailey. I OK, I I'm going to push back on that because he's going to be my pick for Torian. Yeah, I think for Torian has a whole thing. I know, I know, I know, but I understand. But Bailey, an online I just, I think 11 people in the world will be better than him and an

online qualifier I I think. Bailey, I don't have him in here either, but it's not because of your reason. But like he, he's 50th place in the open. I know the open means nothing, but I go back to quarterfinals. OK, I'll I'll he was top 11. I do not have Bailey Martin. I do have Sam Quant though. I do not have Sam Quant. I don't, I don't think Sam Quant dude. I'm going to, I'm going to revoke Bailey.

I like, I like the argument that he's going to, he's going to get from Torian. I would like to replace him with Jack Rosenma. Oh. After seeing what he did at World Fitness project qualifiers. I disagree with. That he's not in there. You know, I'm up to the whole dark horse out there to you guys. See what y'all think about this? OK Tudor Magda. He's out, isn't? He is he, I. Can't remember if he's he just withdraw from he just. Makes him passing. Mayhem.

OK, he always does really good in online stuff. If he doesn't get penalized. Right. Yeah, that's a big and that's a big if. Yeah, he's still in it. We have Justin in there, right? Medeiros. Yes, Yeah. How about Fabian Benito? No. He does well in online qualifiers. I Lloyd back to look at that, the quarterfinals the last couple years and they're like in the top 20. Yeah. But when things mean everything to people, it's different. You have to understand this is

everything. This is to get to the games. And I, I, I just think it's way, way different than just quarterfinals. Like I, I'm with you, quarterfinals is what to look at we're like programming wise. So right now, right now we have oldest Aniel Quan. Neither of you guys had Quan. No, I didn't have quant. And I mean and I'm fine with quant but like I just. Is there somebody else? Right, I'm I'm trying, I'm trying to think through it. Let's put quant on the list of

maybes on the. List of maybes right now would be an answer if he did the freaking open. He's not in it. Is there anybody else that would say that would be added in there to be voted on? BK. Who? BKG. Honestly y'all are going to hate me for saying this. BKG did say it on the podcast today that that was where he's going to put all of his effort into. All. Right, BKG. All right, how about those four? OK, I'm fine. Let's just rock.

I'm all right with that. Do do we want to do we need to go to a vote or do you want to throw one of those out? Oldest aniol quant or BKG? Well, wait a minute. So there's. Three throw. Out of those three, oldest is the throw. Out, I think. I think oldest is the one that's out of that. So then they're only voting on four, so the top top three votes. If we if we throw oldest out, we don't have to vote. OK, that's fine all. Right, so we got Ikai Quant.

And yeah, and keep in mind, like, like when we're going through this, I'm like, oh, wow. So like all the big names, everybody's going to get to go. Like like it's not like if you go through it like who's competing? Everybody should I it's not going to go how you think it's going to go. There will be names that miss out. There's going to be a random hairy Lightfoot that we don't see coming, right?

That does amazing. That knocks somebody like a Ricky Gerrard out and then he has to win a Torian. And, and I know he probably will win a Torian, but like, something always happens with some random name that you've never even thought of where big names will miss out. But whenever we're doing this exercise, it's really feels like, oh, we're all going to get in like, 'cause then we're

struggling. We're. Talking about Jack Rosenma making it in the N affiliate semi final, it's the top 11 in the world and we're talking about Jack Rosenma. No offense to Jack, but he's not top 11 in the world. Bill like he was on my list just. I like him. Don't worry about that Andrew. I got it. Like just just chill did. You say as a person, no. I like it in, in person, in person, online, all right.

Yeah. All right now the in affiliate semifinals are are passed US French throw down same weekend as the tour event one of world fitness project, which means a lot of the Europeans are not in this. This was a hard list. This is where I have oldest. I've got oldest and Colin Beauchard as the worst semi final people that make the games. I have. I have oldest. Do you have? Do you agree with that then, Tyler? I will, I will. I will accept oldest. He's not.

He was not on my list. But now that we've changed things up, he's now. Yeah, you're going to. Have it mixed up. I have Caleb Clements. I'm going to rock with both. With Bosshard, is it Bosshard? Bosshard. I'm going to rock with Bosshard. I have boulanger. Oh Jesus, he couldn't. He was terrible. Oshard barely in his game last time. We won't go with blue. Longie, I'll go with Jon Arnd Finkenberg. Jon, dude, that's he's really strong. He's one of Bell's athletes and me.

And me and said he's not going. No, you Jon's, Jon's really good. I don't know. He's games. He's not games good but. Bosshard. Jon Finkenberg, like he will make noise for people. People don't know that name, but he will win events. He's a home run hitter. Make noise. Finkenberg.

All right, I got Colin Bosshard. Bosshard, Clements, or Finkenberg. Colin Bosshard was leading all three of our Callum Clements the entire way at semifinals and Callum Clements had a miracle workout and Cole Sager like last lunch to knock him out of semi finals and make it to the games last year A. Disaster. I think it's what you. Mean well for but I mean Colin had to do really, really bad and he had to be like second place and and that's what happened, right.

I just, I just I'm not a bet against that. And if it happens again, then Colin boss has the Tyler Christopher of Europe and I just I'm going to bet against that. I think there's only one Tyler Christopher. We need a quitter T. Coachelle, watch him. I don't. Think that's Coach L. That's Coach L Looks like Coach L We need some more votes, guys. Bossard, Caleb Clements or yawn to Finkenberg. Let's go. Yawn. I would love nothing more for Yawn. I don't think he has the fitness.

He's a big come on Yawn. Too. Come on, you. Guys going to vote 27 votes. We need 50. 50 votes is statistically significant. When I was looking at the Far East, there was a there was a June Young and I was like, that's my guy. 10 more votes guys, 10 more votes we. Got like him. Mr. Bosshard is dominating he's. Probably going to take. It that's Mr. Bosshard, he is going to qualify. OK. All right.

Now we're moving over to Oklahoma City, the original location of tour event number one, but not anymore. TFX Invitational, West Coast of the United States only dude. This line up has no one on it. Well, that's my thing. If I was hoping Sprague and Justin weren't in it and I was going to go Sprague and then build Leahy and Justin's out, like I thought it would be like this crazy thing. But then we just said, Oh no, everybody's freaking making it.

So now Bill Leahy is going to make the CrossFit Games. But they can't. They can't go right? Or are their invitations yet to be sent? Well, they could. They could go. They just won't take a game spot. But they don't get a spot. Why? Because they've already. They already have a spot in the N affiliate semifinal. No, like he, he's not on our. No, no. Holton's qualified. Medeiros is qualified, Sprague is qualified. So these are the 33 that stand to go.

The best ones are that have not qualified already. Bill Leahy, Sam Quant, Chris Ibarra. Yeah, I'm going to go. Sager, Nate. Ackerman, Nick. Matthew Mitchell Stevenson will take third. I'm going to go Ibarra and Leahy. I'm going to go Leahy. And quant, I know you guys are going to pick quant, but no we. Already have quant. Oh, we do, yeah. OK, I'm going to go Ibarra and Leahy. I'll. Go Ibarra. I I have our Ibarra and Leahy as well.

There you go, that was easy. That is, if if they make it how we think they're going to make it, that's up there with the French. Throwdown is like the most boring to watch. So do you think Matt Brady says don't sleep on me? There you go, Matt Brady. What do you think? Matt Brady, I'm going to write, I'm going to write your name down, Matt.

And if you don't do anything, I'm going to remind everybody that you said this and I'm going to say and and if you do something, I'll be like he said it on the podcast. He's somebody that we need to remember. But I'm I'm going to look for just you, Matt Brady, just because of this comment. I know Colton would back it up. We'll see if you do. Yeah, All right. Far East throwdown. 111 I want to make a point about the TFX.

So you think these athletes who have signed up to or the, the higher level athletes are going to go to TFX? You you don't think they'll go because they'll qualify through the if. They've already qualified. They will. I doubt they. Will which is going to destroy the show of. TFX. But yes, But yes, if they don't go TFX, it's going to be one of the least watched ones, yeah. Which means like will just run away with it.

I don't think so, dude. I he, he's not good enough to run away with it. It's just, it's just I think he'll make a qualifying spot, but I don't think he's good enough to. I mean, the same thing with Syndicate. If you qualify, then you don't get invited, right? So I mean, we don't know like again, if, if, if Dallon qualifies in the in affiliate semifinal, he can't go. So shut your mouth, John, do.

You remember when you were all in on Leahy and I was all in on Hatfield and I think we had a hard talk in the chat of which which one was going to be better than the other? How'd that, How'd that work out? How's it going to work out? Just just for from here until forever? We'll see Far East throw down. The online qualifier starts maybe today or any day, Dale, So we don't know who's actually going to be fighting for it. They have a separate online qualifier. I have Aunt Haynes.

I got more, Taser said. I got. That can't go to the games because he'll get his visa denied. I'm going to go with it. I think he's going to get the spot. But then he'll get back filled with the Aunt Haynes. Yeah, I like it. I like. That Aunt Haynes? Yeah, Aunt Haynes gets it. All right, Torian Pro. You'll get more exciting on the women's side but for now the men, Jay Crouch, Ricky Gerrard have already qualified. Bailey, Martin, Man. Bailey, Martin Bailey. I agree and.

And then I'm going to go, I'm going to pick somebody new. I'm going to go, Luke. Who? Luke, Leon. I want to pick our boy. Oh no. Petey Pete's in this pile is. Pete. Oh, never mind. No, I picked Pete. Sorry, Luke. I want to pick Zane, but I think Zane's still still on the way up. Zane I didn't. I didn't look at the hard. To pick him, man. I didn't keeper. He make it because Torian had the 4th workout. If he gets the backfill. I'm not betting he's. Too out.

I love he. Spots out from the backfield. I love Pete Ellis. I'm not betting against him. I like Pete. I I think. Pete's been there. And Pete's freaking fit. You just got to get stronger and and fitter. He's just got to get better. But he's. Keeper, if you really believe this, text me. Keeper's not going to bet against his athletes. Tyler, right? That's fair. All right then, we're going to go to Rebel Renegade Games, this one. Oh, so we're just going to go

with Pete? We're just going with Pete Zane. Zane is a bad girl. He is a bad girl that's. Right, Going to Africa. Rebel Renegade games. This one's tied to Africa and the Gulf countries, including UAE. Hoburg all the way, man. Roy, did he not? He didn't even. He was 1200 and 50th. Come. On Lucas, he's so bad online, dude, he's. So don't ever tell. Me, I didn't prep ever again. They invited him. They special invited him. Doesn't matter. Yeah, but he doesn't get a spot.

There's not a lot of people that can even go to this, huh? Mr. Hogberg finished 1280 four 1201 qualified, that's all you're that's like 80 if 8484 hundred more people had signed up on the men's side. That's so trash so. Or if he was just fitter. I, I have one, this is going to be the first rookie that I think we're going to put on there or I guess no, we have Colin Bossard, this is second, and Billy, Toby Buckland. Toby, man, Let's go with Toby. That name sounds gross. I'm.

I'm going to go. Ruan. Help me with the names. No, no, no, no. Park rider's out. Duvernay. Yeah, it's Ruan, right? He's got the same first name. Ruan Duvernay. That's who I'm going with. You're I think you're outvoted on this one. Bucklin. Y'all don't even know who these people are. Whatever. That's why we're not going to a vote because.

I want you to write down, I want you to write down Ruan Duvernay because this is going to be one of them ones where I'm like, see, y'all are freaking just Toby Buckland is because his name sounds the most American. Is that why Ruan Duvernay is going to get it done, man? Duven Nage or Buckland? All right, we got let's see how fast you guys can vote and start the poll now we're gonna. Stop. Let's go with. Or stop at 30 for this one. 30 votes on this one, yeah. That is not statistic.

Ruan was big on the world fitness project. He was looking for his e-mail. Hey, hey, hey, don't. Don't be disparaging. Ruan every every World Fitness Project post he asks where are my emails? I signed up for the newsletter. That's awesome. Get in our We'll just forward you the ones we get if. You're part of the media. You get them every other day or two a day sometimes. Ruan 30 votes, 66% Thirty three votes. What? I wield the Bower. Man. That was crap. Yeah, that's how you spell it.

I think there's an R in there, DUVER. Let's see. Dude Ganache. Duvern. It's Duvernay. Duvernay, you don't know that. I do hope it's stupid. We need to, we need to go to Google, Google Translate and might have her say it or what is it? What is it, What is it called? It's like saying names. What's the? I got it word for it. I need to know how. I need to know how to spell it correctly. What is? This dude. Where is he on here? I'm. Surprised Spin can't find him.

Oh, no, you got it. You got it. Duvanage. It's Duvanage, all right? It's it's how Spin said it. Is he? Is he doing it? That's why I'm looking, dude. He's 36 years old, dude. I dude, he's he's he. Did not do the open. He's out. Ah. Toby Bucklin it is. How do you say it? I'll be buckling you. Ready. Yeah. Juvenage Juvenage Just. Like that, John? I'm I'm sorry guys, I didn't know who did the open and who didn't do the open in Africa. Syndicate Crown.

All right, moving on to the Syndicate Crown. I got this crown who who we didn't. Pick this one. This one's tough because there's a bunch of guys that. Qualified. Yeah, that that have already qualified right now let's pull up the list and we don't know everybody that's going to qualify because 20 are coming from the Open, 10 are coming from the in affiliate semifinal who did not qualify. So that that makes it even more. Complicated in the East.

In the East. Dude, this might make Syndicate bad. So Dowlan's in, Adler's in, Hatfield's in, Layman's still open, Hopper's in, Krenikoff is in. Dude. Scott Panchik, did you accept your invite? Man, I hope they still come. Dude, if Scott showed up they'd be freaking if. They if they don't still come to this, that's going to be a bummer man. What's the prize money? We don't know TBD.

We do not know who on this list because we don't know who else would qualify to the N affiliate semifinal. But you assume that if they're here, all right, I got it. I would say Seth Soball isn't an option there if you feel like that. I went with do what you want me to do, one or both. Throw one out there for now, Tanner Blaz. For real, that's cool. Take all these names. Take all. These names off this list. You're, you're, you're not wrong. It's just, it's just coming from

you. It's that now I don't. I know, I know, I reckon. I'll throw out one you guys will agree with Jack Rosamo. Oh, I like that. I like that. You know who I'm going for? Number 2 is Ty Jenkins. I think he breaks in and does it. He won Watapalooza, RX he clean hang clean like 350 or something like that.

Dude, I if you win RX and Watapalooza, it is a good omen for you on the year, OK, That's happened a lot where people made the breakthrough of their games after they won RX and Watapalooza. I'm going to go. Ty Jenkins is going to do it, and I'm with you on Jack. Dude, I'm going to, I'm going to build my case for when the people vote on this. Tanner did he, he hit a couple. He hit a few homers that crash. He also hit a couple of

strikeouts that crash. But he's been training with Alexis. He #1 he's leaned up like crazy. He looks way fitter. He is way fitter. I'm buying into the fact that he's training like a freaking madman right now. And if you take away, if you take away his he had the handstand walk where he got no Rep that crash, if he gave him his time or just like five more seconds, he ends up like 5th place.

I think like it's he went from like 10th to 5th or something because that one he went from like a third place to like last because of that. I don't I don't mind Tanner pick. I really don't, Tyler. I'm just going to go with Ty Jenkins. I'm just going to go Ty. First, keeping it real. Thanks for John. I don't know why. Thank you, Kevin. Just. To I'm going to throw Sam Cornwalle in the in the mix. Yeah, I get it, but I don't want it so.

Those are the three we're voting for Tanner Blahs, which is Alexis's training partner, Ty Jenkins and Sam Cornwalle. Listen, Sam is the fittest guy. You just don't know what you can expect him. You don't even know if he wants to do the games like you. Just his wants and desires and what he ends up doing. Like he's about as unpredictable

as they get. I think what it fits, I think it fits J Rs programming better than Ty or. 01 hunt dude if Sam if Sam wanted it 100% but I thought he was done with the season. I thought he was done too. I. Thought he said that he was done, no. He's going to mayhem. He's. Competing there was a video. Yeah, he said. He's, I thought he said he was retiring. He's competing at Mayhem. How is that retiring? I thought he said it. He did not say he was retiring. He said he didn't know what his

future holds. It was a wishy washy, just like Moritz. We don't know. Oh man, it's going back and forth between Ty and and Sammy. I want it noted that I my second pick was says the ball. I didn't accept. It but you hold on. See. Yeah, yeah, he said it. He did not retire. You've been in real, said it twice. He. He did. He said there's something, there's 50% facts here, but I'm leaning with John on this and you know, I remember. Him saying he's done with the CrossFit 47. Votes.

We need three more votes. Ty Jenkins is leading now. Sam Corn Royer. How many of these votes you think are Grant? He's probably voted on all three of his burner accounts. I'm using my hi. Jenkins wins it. Wow. Ty Jenkins. I hope he comes through, man. I like Ty. Ty's a great guy and I think he's on the up and up and up and I don't think we've seen his full potential and we had this thing span about like what team

could breakthrough. I just think it'd be really, really cool if that was the case. I like OK, again, this is a heart pick, but I'm rooting for it. Sam Conway is the fittest guy left, but I just didn't think he was doing it. Hold on all. Right, we got three more Norcal Classic. This is the somewhat of a last chance. I'm going to learn. Those culture around. I listened to Sam's video, he just said he didn't know what his plan was. So told you here. Exactly.

And he's going to do Mayhem Classic. And then he's going to break his back doing Heavy Isabel and not come back. Yeah, Norcal Classic. Who do you guys got? Drake Lewis let. Me. Go look at that roster. Northern California Classic leaderboard. And Bryson Delmonte. Did he, Did Bryson qualify for it? I don't know if he did or not. Let's see, Colton's already in there. Drake Lewis is there. Yuri Hans is there.

Haynes. Matthias Porter, Max Krieg, Nick Matthew, Nicholas Padone. He's in everything. Dude, him and Janie Chevery. Ty Jenkins is in this one. Sam. He is in everything. Are you on comp corner right now? Spin. Yes, yeah. There's a name that I'm looking for that I don't think you will say. Adam McAdams, Mac. No, not Adams. Mac Adams. Mac. That is. That is amazing though. Matthias. Daryl is already in. CJ, Gerald. I had Nick Matthew as one of them. That's a decent pick. Trayvon.

All right, I have my second pick. It's going to shock the fire out of y'all. Who? Chad Cackert. OK, who are we going with for #1? I have Nick Matthew. Drake. It's gross. Who do you got, John? Who do you got? I mean, I don't think it's bad, but it's gross. You're just not happy about it. Yeah, I'm going to go Max Creek. No. Max Creek of who's left? Who's left? Dude he destroyed naked crap. That's your number one pick. He's too big for their programming.

You are not confident in that? Yep. I am, I am. I think Colton's still going to do it and went listen all Max, it doesn't matter. No I know is he gets second or or he gets 3rd. I'm going Max Creek and then my second pick and then and listen is this is going to happen because I just because I said it was going to happen and then when I say it, it usually happens is Ilya Moskalenko. No, you're ruining your own word, right? There, Tyler, who do you got?

Ilya Moskalinko, you wait and watch. No, just because you can snatch a gazillion pounds, he's like. He's super fat man Tyler. Super fit. Who do you got? I will. I will put Nick Matthews in second. Do you? Have anybody else? No. Why? Because. We need to put a vote down because John doesn't think Nick Matthew will qualify. We got Krieg. I don't think Greg will qualify. I know. Do you, do you not like Drake?

For real? I think every person you've said that is Krieg has beaten all of these people. Every person. Both of you have said Krieg has beaten all of these people in the competitions that they are against. Every one of them, not one has Krieg been below the people that you are saying, both of you. So when you're so down on Max Krieg, I don't see where that's coming from. Just because he hasn't made it before, nobody else is there. I want to throw a muskarella in

there. Like you're going to come at me with Phillip Muskarella and give me crap about Maximilian Creek. And never once mentioned Selvon Rat Rat Jam Tan bam. No, I'm I'm, I'm I'm an anti. Muskarella has at least been to the games. All right, here we go. We got to pick two of these guys. Top 2 drag clue at you Muskaleo or Muskarella? No, you got you guys say Ilya Moskalinko.

Moskalinko is in there. OK, hey, let me tell you, Ilya was 7th last year at the Norcal Classic and Colton and Taylor were both there and Tudor was there. Every person that we've said so far, Ilya beat all of them and in the thruster, in the thruster ring muscle up workout, the one that Colton was the only one that finished Taylor, he beat Taylor in that workout. He was second place in that workout and the thruster ring muscle up Calzu 1 you know what I'm talking about. Yes.

He was second place in that. He beat everybody, beat Ibarra and Taylor in that workout in a ring. Muscle up thruster workout. It is. We're at 37 votes, but we are Moskalinko and Muskarella have zero chance. It is Nick Matthew. Kiefer I said the people that they have said not, not the people in the comments. And Mr. Krieg, all right. Last chance qualifier, dude. Oh, I I did want to make the point about Norcal Classic because they still have invites

that they can give. They can do that whenever they want. Yeah, they're going to probably wait until after syndicate. Everybody's not in syndicate, but like at least in in affiliate, last chance qualifier. Guys, I'm going, I'm going with Nicholas Badoon, man. He's been trying all. Year he. We're going to give it to him. He. He has missed it eight straight times. OK, I think Nicholas Badoon comes out here and freaking does it. I haven't. We haven't talked about it all.

Travis Mayer do. You think he just does the LCQ? I mean he may do syndicate but. Yeah. We haven't talked about Travis and I don't know, we're last. I didn't think he was doing it, I thought he was just world finished projects. He's great from home gym too. Who's left that could beat Travis Mayer if Travis really tries in a in a in a quarterfinal level? Or then I would take, I would take Ty Jenkins out and I'd put Travis Mayer then. Ty Jenkins where?

Add a syndicate. Travis Mayer's doing syndicate. We don't, but we don't know if Travis is going to. We don't know if Travis is going to qualify or go to syndicate. OK. I think if Travis goes to syndicate then he would he would make it. We just don't know if he's qualified yet. I just put him in last chance. I like it, Travis. Mayer. I don't know. I mean, I feel bad for Nicholas, man. He's tried, too. Bad John.

I think if Nicholas Badoon does the French Throwdown TFX, he's a he's done eight straight competitions. I hear I'm I'm just, I'm, I'm on the Nicholas Badoon. I hear ya, I just don't. Think, I think we put it to a pole. I think we see who the people want. Do they want Nicholas Badoon to go to the games after trying? He's like the he's like Rudy right now, guys. He's missed it every single time. Are we going to go with Travis Mayer? Who's the fitter guy all?

Right, here we go. If we want to be boring and just say, yeah, this guy's fitter in every single way and you know, it's probably make the games and he's made the games eight times in his life. I I get it. But if we want to have a heart and we want to dream, if we dare to dream. What are you talking about? And we're going to pick Nicholas Badude. Guys, dare to dream. If I I had a. Dream that Nicholas Badude made the CrossFit Games in the Last

Chance qualifier if he's going. To be tired, Johnny said. It could be 18 times and he's going. To be ready Retired. Span What country is he from? Colombia. That that white people and black people and Colombian people could share in arms and community and make it to the CrossFit Games. That is the dream that I have. 48 votes, 75% go to Mr. Mayor. Y'all are so trash man. Are you kidding me right now? There you go. Have a dream? We are running super late. We better, we better get going.

We're going to play. Name the winner. We still got to do the women, dude. Yeah. Dude, I got a baby. You better stop talking then. All right here. We go spending give you that baby. Here we go 25 2015 CrossFit Games you guys are going to try the name the male winner of every event. All right. Do you want let let Tyler go 1st and then I go like how do you want to do that? Yeah, I mean you, you guys are just working as a team. Pure paddle. I I know them all.

You know Yonakoski. Yonakoski. Yonakoski, that's what I was said. The sandbag. Lucas Hoberg, Tyler Murphy, DKG. Quit. John, you're making the speed ladder. OK? That's what I'm saying. Do you want me to give you stories about what happened on them too? You're pretty good at that, but they'll take longer, Tyler. I I can't remember distracted me Sandbag 2015. Matt Fraser was second. Who did you say? You already said it, so go ahead and say it. Say a name and then I'll say it. Hoberg, OK.

Merv 20/15/2015 This is the one where Carr about fainted and died. That would be is that the it's either Josh, is it Josh or if it's not Josh, it's BKG. Yeah, OK, so make your pick, OK? Josh was pissed off, right? Because he wasn't happening. There you go. Good job. All right, now the the snatch speed ladder. This guy's a cop. You would have never heard his name. His first name's my name and he's a cop that does nothing but snatch and has a mustache. John.

This is the one where Ben Smith or Easy about knocked himself out. Ben Smith failed a whole bunch. Come on, come on. What's his? Name. I don't know. I don't know. His name's John. Para. All right, DT. Heavy. DT again. Matt Fraser was second. Ben. Smith. Had a baby, Tyler. There we go. You really thought you really thought you you thought we were going to have it be a team here Spin. Did you really think this? You don't think I have all this on back call like that?

I'm a little bit offended at it. No. Do I have every single event plays in my head like a freaking movie? Dude that's crazy. Sprint score, of course. One was Dan Bailey. Yes, Sir. Come on. And if he was Sprint course one, who? Sprint Course 2. That would be Matt Fraser. Not Dan Bailey Tyler. Matt Fraser. Lost the games in these sprints 'cause he can't run fast. Matt Fraser, he was like third, third in this one. I was thinking about that other Sprint event. I forget that they're. Both.

Soccer chipper all. Right soccer chipper. That would be Jason Khalipa. Nope. OK. Spencer Handel was second to Jason Khalipa wouldn't. Do it. No, that's the burden. Run. Sorry. That's you're good, you're good. You're good, you're good. OK? Spencer Handel was second. Soccer. He moved it. It's all who can move the pig. It was just, it was handstand walking and moving the pig and and like there was like there was there was there was pig legless rope climbs and then the handstand walk.

Fraser did not win this. 1 Fraser was very bad at this one. Spencer Handel moved the pig better than everybody else, but there was one other guy who had a really good games. Come on. Fraser sucked, so that meant that means who was good. Fraser was bad, so who was good? Ben Smith. Ben Smith. There we go. Let's go. All right. Do not. Say OK. You got no shot on this one, Tyler. I'm just You want me to just say it? Just go ahead and say it. Here, here. No, no, we got a better hand.

OK, OK. Moses brother is his first name and then Blank Black who has a really big snatch is his last name. Come on, Tyler. OK, Noah. Noah Whose brother? Moses. Man Moses's brother Moses. Jacob, What's his brother? 'S name. Noah Tyler. I'm bad on. The spot like this? All right, all right, Key and Peele, Key and Peele, the name. When the substitute teacher says the names, what's the number? What's the number one name? He messes up. Aaron.

Boom, that's the first name. And then blank black with a really big snatch. Athlete. I don't think he's, I don't think that's going to hit a man. Not this guy, Blank Black. She has a really big snatch. Comments don't ruin this. Aaron Hannah. There you go. Good job, good job we're going to get. That this is just blank black was. Throwing me off. All right, all right, triangle couplet, this is bar muscle ups and thrusters. Who's the best at that?

Who's always? I mean, not Ben Smith, but Matt Fraser. OK, Are you ready now? This is where they this is where they ran and they carried the yoke, OK, They ran around the burden run, not the burden run the erm and they carried the yoke. Matt Fraser had the shortest yoke and he was beating everybody, but he slowed down because he was like, I'm going to conserve energy for some reason. And then one guy who was 20/15/2016, that was it.

And I mean, he had other years, but that these were his main years, who's really good at aerobic capacity passed him up and beat him. Hepner. Yeah, good job, Tyler. All right, Pendleton the medal one and Pendleton the medal two. He he was just the best of the pegboard. That's all this comes down to really. Same guy he did also did really good in the soccer chipper. This guy always does. Taylor likes his dad. Yeah, this guy always does really good at the end of the end of the.

Competition. Who likes his dad? Taylor likes his dad. Spencer. Yeah, good job. There you go. Straight up offended you thought this was going to be a team effort spin. I would have you can just you can pick a year so badly. Pick a year and I'll do the whole thing like that. Men and women. I can't. I can't believe that. Why is that? Tism coming out on YouTube. I'm a. Senior analyst for a reason. Nobody could do this. Like I can do this.

I can't believe you would think this would be a challenge. The game should be how many, how many athletes can John describe to me in like a minute? Yes, I think we should give me a minute and then me like try to have to tell Tyler out that I that's. Was it the pyramid? Was it the pyramid? The old game show? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that $100,000 pyramid. Yeah, yeah.

Because if John can talk me into it, they, they, he's fucking on it. Dude, I yeah, I like that because I'm going to have to try to pick what Tyler knows. I was like, OK, Bible did. Bible did not work. Key and Peele. Key and Peele. I like it. I've always been bad at the family members. If they're not a main character, I don't know them. Aaron sorta was. He was a side character, but. All right, we got to go through. We got this, we got this. We're going to do great.

Women back to the Mayhem Classic next weekend. Alexis Raptors, Danielle Brandon, Hayley Adams, Brooke Wells, Emily Rolfe. I know the way that this is going to go. So I think we all agree on Alexis. I'm going to say Danielle Brandon. I'll see it. I say Alexis and Danielle. I say Abby, Domit, I know that. I know that the crowd is going to go with Danielle, so just do Danielle. OK. We haven't, we've not seen, we've not seen Domit beat Danielle in anything yet. It's going to happen, dude.

I'm. I'm I'm with spin on that. It might. I don't think it's an impossibility, but I think we have to give Danielle Brandon her flowers. I feel like everybody's down on Danielle Brandon all the time, and I think I think she's a lot better than people want to give her credit for. Copa Sewer, this one is. Can we just write names down? I would like to write down loose Lucia Varetti. Let's do it. 'Cause she, she, she's been on

the come up for several years. I did a little bit of looking and I think she's going to do good. That sounds great. Put her down so. Here's the thing with Copa Sewer, nobody that qualified like recently at all is even in this thing, there's nobody from the last few years that has qualified. I would like to put down Sylvia Hermesia. That sounds great. Hermes, Hermes. Hermesia. I want to go. With no, no, no, no, no Sylvia Hermesia, I want to put it down. What? I also.

Sylvia Hermesia. I know, I know. I'm struggling on her name, but Sylvia Hermesia, Nobody's ever heard of this girl. I'm telling you, she's gonna make it. It's gonna, she's gonna everybody's gonna be like, who the freak is this? She probably won't do good when she gets there, but I'm telling you, she's gonna make it. John, she's not even on the list of athletes that qualify. Dude. You're not a believer, you asshole. You're seeing everything through the bad way.

Hey, hey, I just made-up a name. I was hoping we could just put it back. I just, I just, I just made-up a name. That's how much this does not matter right now. Span. I am going with Andrade, yes, that's who I was going to say. She has. She's not competing there, Chief. OK. Wadlin Fest. Let's see. Lucy. Yeah, there's some invites on this one. Lucy Campbell, Sarah Sigmund's daughter, Matilda Garnes, but she's not did not compete in the Open. Ella Wilkinson, Karen Freyova,

who also cannot compete. Let's see, I'm. Just looking for names that sound good. Names what? Yes. That one doesn't. I really feel like the I really feel like not having a roster out by now is a problem. I mean, it is ridiculous. On the online qualifier, Yasmin Ger Gerlardi won the Andrea Solberg 3 Helga Daughter, Leia Storin, Connie Easbee. She was in the semifinal last year. Madeline Pearson, Amanda Fusuma from Brazil. Fusuma. Andrew Moistus. Moist toilette.

Sun Yuan Troy is in this one. Emily Rethwill Bar Mormon, Var. Thurman, MO. Can you spend I'm I'm going to go Lucy Campbell and Terry how good daughter. Terry, you're wrong about Terry. I like Terry. Campbell, I'm going. Andrea Solberg. Not Sarah, Sigmund's daughter. When has Andrea made anything ever? You don't think Sigmund Sutter can make it? I don't know, I I'm kind of. I think Sarah's the girl we want to be good. That's just never going to be good. I'm. Going to be there.

Who do you guys got? I got Teri Helga daughter. Sober I have solberg. I think Solberg is. Better, when has Solberg ever done anything to make anything in person? She did better than 30 Helga daughter last year in the semifinals. It doesn't. But made it. You can't make that argument. 30 is definitely on the way down and like. She is on the way down. She is. Like it's over, the sun has set. I'm saying the Sun's never came up for Andrea. It's. It's on the way up.

No, it's not. It's stayed the same down her whole career. Listen, night. It's she. She lives in Alaska and it's not summertime, OK? It's nine months of night. It's fair, it's not summer time. Well, this doesn't matter, we both agree. Hell, good daughter, Why is my computer super slow? But Terry has made the game so far. We know she has.

And she's very good at Olympic lifting and unless it's a Max out because she's small, but she's good at gymnastics like, and The thing is, women are better than Terry. Women are better than Terry. None of them are doing it. We're doing it. Are doing. With like, I just, I can't get on the dude I like. I like Tori, She's got a lot of fight in her. She's a great competitor. It's just she's done. Y'all won in sober or spin won in sober last year and I said

why? Because she looks real pretty online and it's just it's not like that in person. She's never been that in person. Brady, Solberg or Sigmund's daughter? I, Sigmund's daughter might get the vote. Sarah and Andrea, just this, both of them. It's out there, the polls out. Both of them just have to like I just don't believe in them and like until they until they show me that they can, I just don't believe in them. Maybe it's my fault.

We should be able to write down dark horse because I think this is a good opportunity for a dark horse. I think they're all dark horses. Like Ella, Ella Wilkinson could like, sweep in there? We have no idea. I mean, I wouldn't be shocked if if anybody made it, any of the names that are there who made it. I wouldn't be shocked unless Lucy didn't make it. It's close. Solberg is winning right now. 27 votes. Hurry up, guys, hurry up.

Vote, vote. 31 votes. That's statistically significant, according to John. That's young. Significant. We have 34 votes. We are within. 3%, if it's close, I think we, I think we go to 50. We I keep it's within 3%. We're at 36 votes. Oh man, it's a recount. Solberg is starting to pull away. Come on guys. There's come on, five. 145 people watching and we have 437 votes. That's pathetic. That's like the the view rate of other podcasts. Which ones, John? Others just. Lots of others.

Others. Yeah, my. 40 votes. We got the 12 viewers on my religious podcast on my Christian podcast the other day and we no, we were no his first time in double digits is a big deal. You're tied at 42 votes. You're. Kidding the. 46th they're screwed. Oh my gosh, three votes left. Next race of the day is freaking vote no Tyler you can't vote. This is just cheating 50. Votes Sigma's daughter wins with. What? What was the total split there? It was 40 to 36%. Nice.

See, Kotler, you can get off our back. Let's see. All right, in affiliate semifinal for the women. Oh man. All right. My first one. My first one, Maddie Sturt. Agreed. I I I I concur. Not for Tyler. She's going. Peace Agafe. I have her. She's on the list. Low, but on the list. Grace Walton. Yeah. Aerial defender. Ariel Lowen I have that as well. John or Tyler? So I didn't include her on my list because I don't know what

she's going to like. I can't tell what she's doing but I will put her on the list if you guys think she's going to go. I think she'll compete in that. OK. I have Hayley Adams. Yep. Yep. Emily Rolf. Yep. Yep. Brooke Wells. You can't just name them all. I did not have Brooke Wells coming on through this. You don't think? Brooke Wells is going to make it. I don't think she's going to do well. I don't think she'd be top 11 in the world on an online

qualifier. Well, a lot of them are already taken out, man. A lot of the good ones. Who Alexis and Danielle? Yeah, that's two of them. Lucy and Lucy. I have Gazan Gazan. I have I have John, Eric of. I'm going to go with Olivia, Olivia Curstetter. Do you have, do you have Gazan? Yeah. Yeah, Gazan. I did not have cursed utter on an. Online quality I don't either. Dude, I think for this type of qualifier, I think cursed Utter's going to do it, man. I have folo. I have folo.

I have cursed Etter. Do you have folo on your list? I have cursed etter Abby Domint. I have domit so. She got tossed out of my other Yes Domit. Let's put Folo aside for a minute, OK? No. Just just just for a. Minute we got folo curse that are on the side Claudia Gluck. Oh, I like Claudia Gluck. I like her. I have Amy Kringle. I'm also to the side. Kringle I. Don't like look? You don't like luck? Who else do I have on here? He's now. Anganese.

I have anganese going. Anganese to the side. No, we both voted. I say no. What are you? Are you? What are you talking about, John? Who are yours that you don't have on there? Curse setter. Who else? I'm just looking through it man. He don't. He not even prepped. He doesn't even know this one. No, no, I do. What about Tia? No. She's going to go. I would imagine she goes to Torian and that's the only event she does. What? OK, what are our names? What are our names right now?

They're on. That are on the virtual side, yeah. Polo cursed Utter, Kringle, Gluck and Anganese. OK, so we have 5 girls for three names. Oh, right. You see what I'm saying? You only do 4. You only do four in a vote. Again, Manning is very good at online stuff, but it's different when your whole game season rides on it. OK, I it's not rogue programming, I just find it way way different. She's done well. She's done well on the Open. Yeah, the open means nothing. And she did it well on

quarterfinals. And Rogue is way different, but everybody's not trying. Everybody's not trying to do quarterfinals or she would do very well at the Games and she doesn't. Everybody is going to be doing this quarterfinal. This one they're not doing. They don't do the other ones full blast. They just do it if they think they can win it. Do you understand what I'm saying? Yeah, I understand this Greer. She'll be 12. Yeah, she'll be 12. No, he has a given. I will see Don Folow. All right.

Sweet. And then I think we should put, I really think curse stutter is better than the other names that you guys have said. I know y'all don't believe in her but let's put those four names on a pole and then the top two get it? How about that? So we got curse, stutter, anganese, anganese. Thank goodness. And Kringle and. Kringle we need 2 top 2. And like and like I, I lean towards Gluck. But like Amy Kringle, I think people are going to vote her. I think she's way better in

person than she is online. Her best stuff is her aerobic capacity. Amy Kringle. Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't either, but I think. People heard the last of all those. But I think people will vote her just because she's got a name and she would do OK at the games, right There is events she can win at the games. And Kirsten on online doesn't have to do running. Right, I just like Amy Kringle's way better outside in person

than she is online. If I was to put these two I would say it's going to be anganese and cursed utter. I would say cursed, utter and Glock. Those are my two. I would say cursed utter and Glock. I just don't. Either way, Either way, Gluck has a good chance to make it French Slowdown, and so does Amy Kringle. Cursed Utter's running away with it, so she's in. Plus we all say she's the same. And between Gluck and Kringle, Anganese is getting no love. Damn.

We got 42 votes, we need 8 more. It's a 5% anybody's game for between Gluck. Y'all really don't want to vote Manon dude, Manon's really good. Get your shit on her for two. Minutes. They're all just Spiegel. Is she doing it? Did she do the open? Yeah, she did the open. We saw all the videos. Honestly, I mean, she's a good name too. You know what? Restart the poll. 52 votes. Claudia Gluck. Claudia Gluck. All right, that's fine. Spiegel will do TFX. She'll get in in there. Gluck.

All right, next one French throw down, same time as the W FPWFP. I'm going. To go Kringle Mcdingleberry. Kringle and who? Mcdangleberry. Is Kringle even in the French throwdown? I hope. Let's check. I don't know, I think we should figure out how to make this podcast go longer. It's John. You're. You're the reason. I know, I'm sorry. Elite Women Amy Kringle is not on that list. Are you kidding me, Amy? What are you doing? That means she has to make it at Wadlands then. Right.

Yes, yes. Damn. I don't think she's going to. I have Lucy Mcgonigal and Emily Lundberg. This list on here was very weak. I like Miriam. Oh, Miriam. Miriam Linda Keesman. I imagine she's probably going to WFP. Yep, Mirhams. Not terrible. She could sneak in there. I don't mind Lucy the Lucy pic. Mcgonigal. Yeah, I don't either. But it's because of a weak field. It's not because of her. You don't have to say it. I'm sorry that was. She watches the show? You asked.

I know, I know, I know. I should. Not Ella Wilkinson. I can't take it back. Claudia Gluck is here, but Emily, I have Emily Lundberg. She just missed out on semifinals last year. I've got I'm going to rock with mirror him. All right, I'll go with it. But I want you to spell it like MIRHA. You know, I'm just doing the last. Thing on roar on roar. I want to make that shirt. Mir dash, Mir hum HIM. No, I got it. Better spell it like that. Mir him question mark. How about is him?

Mir Hum is him. Almost the worst I've ever heard. Him TFX aerial loans already qualified fellow meat spinner Hannah Hardy, Trista Smith. I don't know if she wants to be called that spin. Bethany Flores cursed Etter's already in Miss Domeit, Lawrence Stallwood, Emily Rathwell, Miss Bernardine, Janie Gazanzen, Danny Spiegel. I'm. I'm going to say. I'm going to say Spiegel first. What you have, Danny Spiegel? As the first name that makes it out of there. Yeah.

Over who? Who are you wedding we? Already have Domit in there. Oh. We have everybody, dude. Who did I have? I did not have Spiegel. I did have Spiegel. Don't give his. What if he? I had Spiegel and Curstetter, but Curstetter is already in. That's what I'm saying dude. I hope, I hope these people still go to the competitions just for prize money. Trista, Trista, I'm good with Spiegel. I'm good with Spiegel. Not Flores.

I think I'm going to say Flores. Yeah, I think, I think I'm going to say Flores. I think she's going to make it to the games and then her back will hurt. It doesn't. It. Doesn't hurt until the games. Trista's ready. But Bethany's better, dude. Here we go. You're going to hit your wagon to that. That Bethany is better, yeah. TFX, Krista, Bethany, anybody else you want to throw in there? I had a Ariel and and Olivia possibly but. That's what I'm saying.

Like Hattie, yeah. I mean, Hattie, Hattie's viable. She's just as viable as everybody else that we've said. I have her going in another place. Yeah, but this is the one that's available. Here we go. Vote. We need 1. Danny Spiegel and Trista Smith. Bethany or Hattie? Here's the thing. Bethany is the is the right pick here, but Bethany's about as consistent as somebody who's very inconsistent and. This will be the week. After you are a wordsmith, John.

Yeah, yeah, Trista Trista's the up and Comer. Hattie kind of just broke through. I think Hattie's fitter than Trista Smith, but you know, Trista is getting fitter and fitter so. That's just Morgan. Morgan Porter could She could be a black or a dark horse pick. A Black Horse pick. A Black Horse pick. Why does it have to be a Black Horse? How come it? Can't be see it's it's it's just even more rare than. A brown horse. Does does Bethany do heavy Isabel? 155 I think.

She does that. It's not the same heavy Isabel, I don't think is the same for girls. I don't think it's the same at all. Four more votes, guys. Bethany is winning it. I know, I know Alexis did heavy Isabel on like 440 and she is not one of the stronger athletes. Right. It's not the same at all. Far East throwdown I have miss Troy got. Choi as well. Sounds good man. You don't think? I got Dejuan Young and let's put it to a pole. I just, I'm just kidding. No, it's not young. Twice.

Torian Pro. Well, we said everybody, Daisy McDonald. What about Tia? Does Tia. Qualify OH. Yeah. That is the big question for this. One if if Maddie and Grace are gone, then she goes. What do you think? She doesn't go if those two are not in. No, I'm saying Maddie and and Grace will both qualify in. The I'm saying if they don't, you're saying Tia won't go. I don't think Tia goes regardless. She's going to, she's going to go there to get a ticket for

sure. What Hank Smith saying she's not going to get a ticket. She's going to get it, pass it off to the next person. Right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not that's on her. We're saying who gets the ticket, not who goes to the game. This we all this is. Who goes? What does the title say? Who's going to the CrossFit Games? Title not not who gets the ticket. Otherwise we would have had more tease of Sega dot get. This is like a you can't. I think she she's not.

Giving away that what can he, what can he not do? What was that? If she wins, this is just such an off case scenario. Why? And we're speaking on it. I know what I'm. Saying is if she. Wins like and I said, OK, she's going to be one of the two that gets. That's what I'm saying is she gets the ticket to go to the games. I can't help the fact that she gave the damn thing away. We are saying that she's going to give it away. Right.

OK, well, I'm not saying that I think she gets that sucker and she keeps it. OK. I'm going to Willy Wonka Shark factory. Fuck you. So you're going, you're going to go with to me. I'm going to go Daisy McDonald and Poppy Hay. What about the lawyer, Georgia Pryor? Poppy, it's Poppy's time. Deroy, all right. Deroy. It's been Deroy's time for a while and it's never happened, so I she's just a. Little. Like James? Yeah, but yeah, on a team. Was she? On a team she was with James

and. I'm saying I I'm going with Poppy Hay, it's Poppy's time. McDonald, you're just wasting a pick. Nobody's going to pick Poppy Hay. Why all? Right here we go also. Poppy time show him that spin is wrong. Guys, you need 2. Picks Poppy Hay. Followed Listen, I'm going to I'm going to advise against picking Poppy. I followed Poppy. She needs, she is a good athlete, but she needs a little work. She moves a little clunky in in certain things.

Emily Deroy does not and. We're working on it. Did does anybody pay attention to what 65% have to me already? Guys OK then just put Tia or I. This is fine. It makes this show go faster. Let's just put Tia and Daisy McDonald. Emily Deroy is winning, John. Well, that's because the people don't know who Daisy McDonald is. And one more vote. Yep. Deroy Toomey. Yeah. The people know, dude. She's a freaking unit. She's humongous. How come she wasn't a unit the years previous?

Because. She's a young lady. Rebel Renegade games. This is where Sarah gets her ticket. Sure, who you got spin? I'll be the tie break. She already got it through Watlin Fest. She's already in there. John, I have Michelle Morand. Did we give it to her at Watlin? We did. I don't think I did. Yeah. She won the she won the freaking vote. Oh, the poll the. Poll Gemma's not in it there, Tyler. No, she drowned. Was not a good swimmer. She's a great swimmer dude. She can't make that joke.

Women Africa Michelle Morand is still a back in it it. Happened too fast for me after I could catch. It I'm going, I'm going with Michelle Moran. She's she would dominated Africa. That sounds, that sounds, that sounds great. Let's get past. Let's get past this. Let's go to you. Don't care about rebel renegade games. No, but I don't that's it does not. It doesn't matter. Syndicate Crown. All right, Syndicate Crown. Let's go. Tanner Blaz, I have an

interesting one on this one. I'm picking wells. Sydney, you're picking. I'm picking wells. Both wells. You're picking both of them. Oh, OK. It's just because everybody, everybody's got. Everybody's gone. There's so many athletes that I liked on the list that were remaining. I'm going to go with Kyra and Sydney. Kyra beats Brooke. Are you kidding me? No. I I like the Wells pick. I would I want that to happen. I don't even. Wells sleep, dude.

Yeah, dude, that'd be fun. I think you're out about it on this one, Tyler. It'd be a great, it'd be a great moment. I want it noted. Enter it in the record. Coach L Is he coaching? Prevo. Prevo. Paige Simenza Shelby Neil No. Paige is in at Norcal. She could still qualify out of Syndicate Norcal. I guess we know John's pick. Paige, Samantha. Oh, you got some in all right. Second one. Kristen Holta Holta. The Norwegian I. Think. Wait, wait, wait. She's not South African, huh, Holta?

African, I thought. Holta. I thought Holta was retired? Yeah, I thought she was too. That's why. California Classic leaderboard on the Competition Corner Elite Female. Yeah, but Kristen. Holta from Kriger training is on. On Holta's retired like she's going to give her ticket away. She said she was retired. She's not going to give. We can't. We're. Not going to. Why is she going all the way to Norcal just to? I think she just did the quality.

She gave her ticket. Away, I don't think, I don't think she's going to come to the competition. Why would you do the online qualifier? Just because she wanted. And she's paid to get on the main leaderboard. It's $20. No, she signed up for the actual competition, John, not the qualifier. This Well, I'm telling you, she said. I'm retired, but she's not retired anymore. She. Did say this. And actually, this time, we're not just. Yes, for real, she really said

this one. Sydney Wells is going. She's already in. Where is Gianni's going? She did well in. The Caitlin Sanders. Oh, I like. That potty Kanye will be there. Oh I also like Hattie. So Hattie and Caitlin were my 2 picks. Prevo. Prevo is better. Out of those girls, I'm picking prevo. How do you know Paige Semenza is going there, John? I I don't. I was just hoping. She's not on the list. She can't be on there. That's my pick for last chance qualifier. I like that one, Trista Smith.

Did. Tristan not. Get in. No, Tristan didn't get in. Prevo, prevo and Hattie. I'm OK with Hattie, I'm not OK with. Hattie so cement but cements is not on the list so take Samantha off. So put in Hattie and then Caitlin. Tristan was. Was Tristan second last? Year Trista is better than Caitlin. Trista, it's. Trista it's. Better than Caitlin. Last chance qualifier Caitlin Sanders? No, it's Paige Samenza. I even had her as the final last chance qualifier.

All right, Caitlin. Well, Gazan has already made it. She made it through the online semifinal. Norcal does not have an online or geographic requirement, so anybody can go to that. They're kind of like the last chance qualifier before the last chance qualifier. Tyler, the head head is not on your side for the Cairo pic. Yeah, you need to quit seeing things so negatively. Barkley, I'm disappointed in you. There are the 30 men and 30 women that are going to the games. There you go.

Are you here? First, put your bets down. You'll make $1,000,000. How many of those 60 do you think end up do we get? 50. You think we get 50 of the 60? Yeah, I think we bat. I think we bat 83%. But there needs to be a like they need to qualify from where we said they qualified. No, no, no, no, Tyler, cause 'cause only one person can mess up the whole chain, you know what I'm saying? So like, no, I, I think actual names 80.

We bat 83. We get a. We get 2 points if we get them from the the the place. I don't mind that game. I don't mind one. Point if they qualify. Sure, but what's what's, How many do we get right? What's maximum? What's maximal? Points You think 50 is out of 60? No, No chance. I'll take the over. You think we get more than I'm good? 50 should not be the line. 40 should be the line. No dude, because it's all the best people. Like you're taking the under,

I'll take the over. That means it's a decent line. Yeah, I'll All right. I'll take the under. Yeah, I think this format sets yourself, sets it up for veterans. Making it more than we're going to get more than 50, right? Yes. As far as names that actually go, yes. No chance there's. Hey, go back, go back to the men. Go back to the men's men, please. Just this. Will be so great when we're at both Syndicate and Norcal and we're talking to each other all. Right.

We will go. Hey, do you think Hatfield's going? Yes. I think all of these people could. Go John, this is a dumb game to play. OK, I'm with you, Spin. I take the over. Yeah, like I just don't think there's that many rookies that can make it. First of all, there's there's 10 less athletes those where the rookies were coming from and you got to be first or second in almost all of this.

If as long as the NFL semifinal is hard quarter final level programming, the top athletes like you see there are going to qualify. You're not going to get some random dude that shows up. Not that many of them. Like I just don't think you see rookies go in and win an entire competition when there's 3 or 4 veterans at each one of them.

Dude, I think it's going to get weird though when you mix in WSD and the fact that people are going to have to do multiples and other people are just not going to do those multiples. Maybe. I think we're. Just going to see some. More the European ones definitely have the biggest ones. The European Asia and Africa are the ones that are complete wild cards. Like that's where you might be

able to get the under. I think all of the North American ones in Australia, I think we're pretty much locked in for the most part. It's going to be close. I I'm also like we they just are so many circumstances where like somebody just randomly like Jack Rose in the last year, like no one called him going to the Games last year. And so, yeah. But that's finishing eleventh out of. I understand, but what I'm saying is random shit happens. Random shit happens all the

time. We're not going to call a lot of these, I think. We'll see. We'll see. All right. I think we call all of them. We're we're going to go 60 for 60. All right guys, thanks for hanging with us for a very, very long show. We will see you guys next week, 3 days before the Mayhem Classic, so see you later. I apologize. To absolutely nobody.
