We review the Danielle Brandon documentary, give our take on why Gracie Walton got robbed in the Open and make our way-too-early (and sometimes very flawed) picks for who will qualify for the 2024 CrossFit Games.

What can we takeaway from the 2024 CrossFit Open and what are we looking forward to seeing at Quarterfinals?

John gets booted from the show for being a bully to Tyler (kinda). Once that is all cleared up, we break the news that Tudor Magda received a 20% penalty on his 24.2 video, Emily Claw remains in 1st place despite not have video evidence.

Then, we look back at 24.2, look ahead to 24.3, introduce a new segment, Keep 5/Cut 5, and end with some Bettin' with the Boys.

Here's what we have on the agenda...

John Young is back with a new mountain. This time he's looking at the all-time greatest CrossFit Games athletes and putting them on the tallest mountain...Everest.

To make the "Everest Elite" is not an easy task. Just ask 2011-2014 Rich Froning (watch the show to find out why)...

We then take a look at Open Movements in this week's Blind Rankings.

After that, we dive into Jason Grubb's interview with Legends Championship co-founder, Bob Jennings, as they discuss the behind-the-scenes of how the venue and date of the 2024 Masters CrossFit Games were selected.

And finally, Bettin' with the Boys is back with three new bets.

After winning TFX, Bill Leahy joins the show to discuss how he has bounced back after a rough 2023 CrossFit Games season. He also shares that Andrew Hiller will be visiting him this weekend and may help him during Quarterfinals.

Then we dive into the region exemption drama. From Ellie Turner being denied to compete in North America West to why Roman Khrennikov and Katrin Davidsdottir's approvals matter.

Blind Rankings...Girl Wods (not named Fran)

We analyze Adrian Bozman's appearance on the CrossFit Podcast after he discussed the 2024 Open, Quarterfinals and changes made for this season's online portion of the season.
