SPEAKER_00 0:00

Ready? It's on. Let's go.

SPEAKER_03 0:16

Oh, did you notice? Notice the difference? Yeah. Well, what do you got? What do you think? What was the difference?

SPEAKER_04 0:21

Seems uh a little a little bit more laid back, a little vibey. Yeah, no pick. Yeah. Soft. More relaxed. Soft things, dude.

SPEAKER_03 0:29

Yeah, yeah. I'm just coming in. Yeah. Tickling in the thing.

SPEAKER_00 0:32

Tickling the strings. Are you feeling relaxed coming into heat to heaty Josh?

SPEAKER_03 0:36

Yeah, it's just those tropical vibes. Choo! You know, I'll tell you a story.

SPEAKER_00 0:42

Please do.

SPEAKER_03 0:43

A guy I used to do work with. He helped build the Panama Canal. He was like an engineer paid by the uh US government. Which is weird because I don't know how much money US government gets out of the Panama Canal. I think the Panamanians get that. Anyway, he said Tahiti. It's the no- I've and he was a big diver. Scooby diver. He said Tahiti is the place to go. Oh, he he dove all over, everywhere. The Maldives, you know, all the things. Tahiti is the place to go, Josh.

SPEAKER_00 1:18

Shall we go? Let's go. This is your coworker?

SPEAKER_03 1:21

Uh we don't need to unpack that. Okay. He's a colleague of mine. He's alive still? No, he's not alive anymore. Interesting. Bruce Harger.

SPEAKER_00 1:30

I wonder how we'd feel about it being called the American Canal now.

SPEAKER_03 1:35

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 1:35

He's pretty choke. I don't know. Good for him. Good for him.

SPEAKER_05 1:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:39

We're back after a break. We're squeezing one in. We should have been well prepared for this show. We're not. Nope. But you know, whose fault is that? That's your fault for the listening, listener. You know it's better than that. Heading into the back half of the year, the old back end, Josh's favorite part. Scot it in.

SPEAKER_03 1:56

Cannot confirm more than that.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

Yeah, we're gonna drop our picks. Uh good luck, out there, friends.

SPEAKER_03 2:02

Did it start with me? Let's do it. Cheers, man. Ramsey Kelly. Good luck, boys. You get the scraps.

SPEAKER_04 2:11

I love it. That's right. I'm gonna go Ramsey and Wildcard. I don't feel confident on that name. I don't feel confident on that name, dude. I tried it. I tried it the first time. I'm not confident. I love that.

SPEAKER_01 2:24

Uh I think after everything I've learned, I think I'm going Kelly Ramsey.

SPEAKER_03 2:29

Yes! He came back to me!

SPEAKER_01 2:31

There we go.

SPEAKER_03 2:32

Who's the smartest guy at the table? Clearly not me. And uh the train's coming to my dungeon. Oh, what a blessing that was. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 2:39

Judy. Yeah, uh, yeah, I'm hanging out around wildcard Ramsey, but uh Kelly is is on my on my agenda. And I could see Seth Money is maybe getting through a round. Maddie's still in for Jordy, who's undergoing surgery, probably season ending. Matchups, I think, play into a little bit, especially that first round. So you've got Ramsey, Oscar Berry. I again, I just think Ramsey probably has that. Um Eli, Kelly Slater, Eli Hanneman, Seth, and wildcard, and Luke Thompson, Matty McGilbury is like, I have no idea. Probably Maddie, but all right, tier B. Can't go past Kali Voss, gotta put the big the big rock in first. Yeah. Uh gold medalists.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

Gold medalists at the same spot, no one could beat him.

SPEAKER_00 3:23

Yep. Been competing at this event, I think the past three years as a wild card at least, yeah. Um longer.

SPEAKER_03 3:29

When he went switch coming out of the barrel.

SPEAKER_00 3:31

That's right. Just playing with it. But he hasn't won it. He has not won the W SL event or CT event here yet. Now it could be his time. Could be his time. Gotta back him.

SPEAKER_01 3:40

Uh I'm taking Jack Robinson. It's his, it's hopefully, fingers crossed, it's time after a shocking start to the year.

SPEAKER_04 3:48

Yeah. He has an 84% heat.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

Whoa, good. Stat of the day, stat of the day, bop, bop, stat of the day, stat of the day. Here comes that what stat of the day. Bop.

SPEAKER_03 4:05

That's the one from the Dan Patrick Show. That is Will Farrell's rendition of their stat of the day jingle.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

You could have you could have owned that yourself. That's good.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

You're in good company, gentlemen.

SPEAKER_00 4:15

Yep. So Jack won in 2023, so he didn't lose any heats. And then it won again in 2025. So I mean his he's good here. I I don't I think he lost Ciago in that middle year.

SPEAKER_03 4:27

He's been in a dark place and he's ready to come out. He's ready to come out. It's gotta be that place he feels comfortable and he can dominate. I like that take. I'm for it.

SPEAKER_04 4:37

Uh yeah, I've got those two, so I'm not really looking to mess up mess that up too much, but uh we'll see.

SPEAKER_00 4:44

Think it over, Josh.

SPEAKER_03 4:47

Crazy. I was waiting for someone to ask me and then I was gonna cut them off.

unknown 4:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:52

Paramamiya, my guy. Yeah. Rockin' Brits uh sleds. You know, speaking of ring con beers that were the Parkway pills. What'd you guys think, boys? Of the Parkway pills I brought. Easy drinking. Easy going. I love a nice hoppy light beer. That's my wheelhouse these days.

SPEAKER_04 5:09

That's clean. It's nice in like the Tahiti environment of this home right now to be putting down that easy to be. Yeah, you know, for all of you watching. Tropical here, my brother. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_03 5:19

Swamp. If you know what I mean. Below the table right now, it is swampy. It's gnarly. Yeah, there's a glistening across our faces.

SPEAKER_00 5:28

Noah's still supporting his Patagonia sponsor, though. I know, I can't believe it, dude.

SPEAKER_03 5:32

Dude, you're not gonna be able to get it. I commit to early.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Commit to early messed up. Committed early and black on black on black.

SPEAKER_00 5:40

Beauty. Yeah, uh Tier B, unfortunately, the WSL is still not freed as Tier B to give us more picks. So we're we're really jammed up in there.

SPEAKER_03 5:49

Only two days away.

SPEAKER_00 5:50

The picks, man. What do we do? But um Griffin has been building there over the years. How she serves really well there. Um, I think Kanoa has a great early matchup, so I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 6:00

Yep.

SPEAKER_00 6:00

You talk about maybe Al Al Cleeland if you want to take a flyer. Yeah, buddy.

SPEAKER_03 6:04

He's at the top of my list, he must be doing good.

SPEAKER_00 6:07

Yeah. If you're uh I don't know, if you're deep and just want to like try to catch lightning in a bottle.

SPEAKER_04 6:13

If you if you're like pretty deep, like low, low, I mean you might as well start throwing some heaters out there, see what happens.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

Yeah, otherwise, yeah, again, like there's still so many vents to play, and we've seen the leaderboard go up move up and down quite a bit. So for sure.

SPEAKER_04 6:28

But there's no there's no multiplier. So like there's no multiplier, so at some point you're not do have to take a risk at some point to like move up the map. Which uh I think that's why we see those crazy swings. Yeah. Because the guys who like not a huge flyer, like an educated flyer, right? Right, it goes their way. But we're starting to see that. So, like, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 6:47

Yeah, with no, it is interesting, interesting, no multiplier, yet we're still seeing two or three hundred point ups and downs because you're you only have so you have so few surfers that if you lose your guy early, you know, if you pick Gabe and it's idolo or idolo and it's Gabe, it's like you're it's the train is just like or if you pick Ethan, like three contests in a row.

SPEAKER_01 7:08

Yeah, it's all coming back. After the long break, it's all coming back. This is not good. It's all coming back to me.

SPEAKER_00 7:15

Celine Dion. You know that one?

SPEAKER_03 7:17

Yeah, the chess reference.

SPEAKER_04 7:20

Alright, siries, hey, Josh.

SPEAKER_03 7:22

Who's up? Everyone's good. Gabby!

SPEAKER_04 7:26

Yep. It's a great call. Um Wait, Noah.

SPEAKER_03 7:30

Wait, I'm gonna ask you a question. I just said who who do who do I like here? You like Gabe. Yeah, but I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you a question. Okay. It's gonna answer why. Okay. I come back to Gabe. Gabby, Gabriel Medina. Yeah. He used to wear a black hat, now he's just so likable. Yeah. Is that my house? That's your dog, yeah. How do you get the best surfers in the world interested in your professional tour slash league? I have no idea. Because Gabby just announced he's taking a bride. Yeah. He's saying forever, tying the knot, as they say. She is with child. And he says he is going to put his attention there in the coming months. Meaning, I'm reading into this, thinking he won't be on tour next year.

SPEAKER_04 8:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:14

Do you think John's gonna be on tour?

SPEAKER_04 8:16

No.

SPEAKER_03 8:17

There you go. So you have the two greatest surfers, yeah, potentially contest servers at the peak of their game that say, I'm good. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Travis Sham Mockery. It's like if we had Kelly and Andy that said, no, we're good.

SPEAKER_01 8:38

Yeah. He lost me for a second, but we're back. Yeah, go get it.

SPEAKER_03 8:41

Travis Sham Mockery.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

Yeah. Anyway, I'm right there with you.

SPEAKER_03 8:44

I like Gabby here because this might be his last shot to get a world title. I think he's gonna march to the end, get himself a world title. And then bounce. Yeah, and never come back. That's the way I see it.

SPEAKER_00 8:55

Maybe draw John out with a world title because I think they would be ahead of John at that point.

SPEAKER_04 9:00

Yeah. They would have gone three for three if it starts here.

SPEAKER_00 9:02

John would be ready to get back on the road. Yeah, interesting. I didn't uh know that about Gabby's personal life, but I'm happy to hear it.

SPEAKER_03 9:11

Just you know, consider it gospel.

SPEAKER_00 9:13

Yeah. What a luxury.

SPEAKER_04 9:15

Probably social media though, right?

SPEAKER_03 9:17

I got my sources. Okay. Feels right.

SPEAKER_00 9:20

I think he um it sounds right. I think tracks he was married. I didn't know about the baby, but it's working for idolo, so it's true. Idolo's not sound like he's planning spending more time at home, though.

SPEAKER_04 9:30

No, no, he's just getting fired out. I think he's gonna try to go on tour more. Yeah, maybe less time at home. Yeah, yeah. And it worked for John too. John had a kid during that tour or during that year. Yeah, no, I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 9:41

He took it all, so it is uh we joke about it. Survival of the fittest.

SPEAKER_03 9:46

It's right, it's right there, it's right in front of us.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

Yeah, it is these guys, John's in another league sometimes, but I mean it is these guys' jobs, and I I think about like Miguel Poopo talks about like the sacrifices making for his family, yeah, like and like it is really cool, like, but it's I don't think he's like makes light of being away. Uh I don't know about some of the other people, but sure. But yeah, someone like Ris who came back and like I'm gonna do one more lap with the baby. What a story. I mean, that could be John, it could be Gabe. Yeah, and and idolo could be like the whole like Oh my gosh, perfect storm. Well, they all have it's different for the guys, I guess. Jack already does it, it's a different, different uh. Yeah, man, I like that. Uh so you think Gabe is like, this is it. Eye the tiger. Yeah. Um year finishes at pipe.

SPEAKER_03 10:28

Now it's now or never. He really has it. He has at the top of his game. Laser focused.

SPEAKER_00 10:34

Yeah, and he's he's in the hunt. I mean, he's gotta be hovering on the top five in the point.

SPEAKER_03 10:38

So he's I wouldn't know because the the app doesn't um do that for me. He's at least on the top eight.

SPEAKER_00 10:43

But yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:43

Alright, what do you got, Noah? Um, got my boy. Italian stallion. I mean Leo Fearman.

SPEAKER_03 10:53

I got a special beer for the Italian Stallion, the Italian Pilsner, brought to you by Ring Combrey, unofficial sponsor. With a little Vespa on the beach there, a little cantina. Oh, the oil boys can make it that out.

SPEAKER_00 11:12

The oil boys would be on the on the beach drinking those up.

SPEAKER_04 11:19

Dude, we love this one on the beach. Uh yeah, I I mean he's I was just just thinking of last year when it was like pretty huge. Uh undeniable. Yeah. And even on the like the days, I think maybe pre-contest, he was like getting towed into some massive, massive ones. Um, so yeah, go on Leo. Yeah. That's great.

SPEAKER_00 11:38

That's a great breakaway.

SPEAKER_04 11:40

It's hard to pick wrong in this tier A though. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 11:44

Boy, that is a crisp. Uh crisp. That's nice. Thanks, Josh. That's very good. Yeah, I don't hate. I don't hate Leo's pathway either in the bracket. He would uh take on a Morgan or a Jiachunk uh you know not the end of the world. I'll go yaga.

SPEAKER_01 12:01

Okay. Best in the world. Yep. Defending World Champ. Yep. One here, maybe never. One here, like brrrrrr. Yeah. He got close.

SPEAKER_00 12:12

He did. Final with Jack. He had he I don't know if it was a was that a final. It felt like a final because it was it was weighty. Uh it was weighty for the something, but yeah, for something.

SPEAKER_01 12:23

Well, we're doing our best here again.

SPEAKER_00 12:25

Well, there was a couple years where it was like I I can get into the final five. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 12:30

Two years in a row, I'm pretty sure, it was whether or not Yaga was gonna get in the final five. Yeah, dad was coaching both of them.

SPEAKER_00 12:35

Yeah, it was heavy for sure. Uh and Gabe, even that one year, he he was face jack. I think that was for the not only for the event, but for the final five. I think you're right, yeah. So Gabe finished like sixth in the world. So yeah. So we don't have that kind of weight of this one, which is fine. It's in the middle of the season. Um, yeah, I I'm actually right now, I I have Idolo in. Um Idolo charges, he's must have just won a couple years ago, I guess. Is that right? Beach on a couple years ago. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Um, and then I don't know. I'm I'm I I think I may go Yago too. I'm trying to figure out a I I think Gabe is like could easily win. Um, but I'm trying to find some way off. Uh Ethan is a I think. Gabe Jack really early on. Game Jack early on. So round a 16, I think. That's a good around uh round three. Oh, I wish you could.

SPEAKER_03 13:27

All you listeners, I wish you could have seen Matt's face. Yeah, I'm hurting over here.

SPEAKER_00 13:31

So if you're Gabe Jack, which is fine, play both of them. At some point you have to figure out your power surfer, that changes things. Tough. If it's not one of them, maybe it doesn't matter. Like you're gonna you're gonna get one of those guys through, which is great. Um, but in that tier A, I mean, I think Leo is also a smart pick. Uh Ethan Ewing, I think, is is probably gonna get to a quarter. Miguel Pupo won here uh just a couple years ago, and he's surfing maybe better than ever this season. Yeah, agreed. Wouldn't be surprised. But again, can you pass? Am I gonna pass Idolo and Iago and Gabe? Probably not, but yeah. I don't know who Miguel's runs into, but watch out.

SPEAKER_03 14:09

And you know who probably wins the thing? We don't even mention him. George Pittar. Dang it. Never saw it coming. George Petar.

SPEAKER_04 14:18

Dude, Gabe's heat wins nuts here, too. 78%.

SPEAKER_03 14:21

He's a very large sample size. Yeah, yeah. He's been doing this a while.

SPEAKER_00 14:25

Oh my gosh, yeah, since he's probably been 14 or whatever, right? Yeah. He's faced.

SPEAKER_03 14:30

He has some of my favorite clips this way.

SPEAKER_00 14:32

Gosh, can we get a Gabe Slater final? Is that even possible?

SPEAKER_04 14:37

Oh my gosh. Are they on opposite ends?

SPEAKER_00 14:40

Don't know, but it would be good if they were. They're not, uh, unfortunately. In fact, here's what's gonna happen. If Gabe wins his uh Slater wins his opening round, or round one, he goes right into Gabe.

SPEAKER_03 14:57

Come on, WSL.

SPEAKER_00 14:59

And then whoever goes back goes to Jack. Yeah. I'm going back. Ramsey Wildfire. It's tough, dude. That corner is tough. The lower quad quadrant of the bracket, and again, you can overcook your thinking and totally miss. Yeah. But it is jam-packed trail of tears. I mean, you have Slater, Gabe, uh, Jack Rabbo, all kind of heading toward each other, and then they would meet Griffin in like the quarters if he gets there. So it's it's a really it's a really tough, tough corner. But again, hey, I've overthought that before and like stupid. Like, just play the best surfers and you'll be fine. Um, good stuff. All right, power surfing the men. Okay, I'm gonna go Cali boss. That's where I got left.

SPEAKER_04 15:43

That's great. That's a great pick.

SPEAKER_01 15:44

I think that's the only way, right? Gabby. I'm powering Gabby. Nice.

SPEAKER_03 15:50

Yeah, I'm full belief mode.

SPEAKER_04 15:52

Yeah, I like it. I think I'm along that that line of thinking. Just power power Gabe and it probably will play out. Yeah. Cali's a good move, though.

SPEAKER_00 16:00

Yeah. I don't know. I mean, yeah, we'll see.

SPEAKER_04 16:03

No one knows. I've said all of my power picks were good power picks, and they have not been good power picks up until now.

SPEAKER_00 16:09

So I kept thinking just get on the Gabe train. Right. And which I was in, then I'm like, oh, and then you didn't. And I got on, and then it's good he knows, dude. He feels it. Because he has some of the most points on tour tour this year, I think. I mean, he's he's been the dominant surfer, even though he's, you know, I think Leo's that yellow's like Leo's in the yellow jersey, by the way. That's right. Uh world number one. So sick.

SPEAKER_03 16:30

And it's the Italian beer, gentlemen.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

It's amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So proud then. All right, take two. We're switching over to women. Yep. All right, women's two C Women have been charging out here in the recent years, so it's it's gnarly. Uh tier C.

SPEAKER_03 16:47

So much goodness in the Tier C. Speaking of ripping and charging. That's right. Uh Vihane. Vihaney? Vihane.

SPEAKER_00 16:54

Can't look faster. And Aaron Brooks. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Insane.

SPEAKER_03 16:58

Two. Just call it right there.

SPEAKER_00 17:00

Yeah. Yeah. I think you're probably right.

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Might be a power, maybe I'll probably my power. Between those three and Molly. Sure. Love me Somali.

SPEAKER_00 17:07

Someone would have to uh dude. I know. She's my favorite surfing. We'll come back to it when we get to Molly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool your jets, buddy.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

Oh no, it's not like that.

SPEAKER_01 17:19

Thank you for clarifying. Yeah. It seems sometimes that it is like that. Yeah, not at all. It's not like the other girl.

SPEAKER_04 17:26

The sentence, I love me Somali, is uh She's her, I love her surfing. I hear you. I hear you.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

She charges.

SPEAKER_04 17:33

We like Molly D.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

She always seems like she wants more, you know? She's like, let's go. You know?

unknown 17:40

Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_04 17:42

Um yeah, I'm along your same same thing in Erin and Fahine. I don't know how you like um go outside of that.

SPEAKER_00 17:49

Well, I I I don't know much about her, and I think she's young, but you do have a wild card. Yeah. Whatever it's worth. And then I don't Kalia? Yes. And then someone would have to uh fact check this, but I saw one of like the surf stats page. Like Barisa Hennessy had really good stats here. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 18:08

50% heat win. Okay, well she's been here twice, so like it's not just a spot one. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

The stuff that goes around anymore, it's like sometimes it's like just talk to Noah, he'll crunch your stats. But um, yeah, I think you're definitely in the Vahina Brooks. I I guess maybe maybe Brissa. I don't know. Who knows? Maybe one of those Portugal girls is gonna like charge. They feel like they've been all season. One of the random rookies has shown up. So we'll see. Uh yeah, I got Aaron in Vihine right now. Uh, I haven't I have not looked at the matchups, but I that's that was my my first take. Uh tier B, I felt like there's a lot of people who I I don't know how much experience they have out here. I like Tier B too. I got Betty Lou, Betty Lou in charge, so I felt pretty good about that, but yeah. Three-point powers are for Betty Lou.

SPEAKER_04 18:59

The highest the highest heat win percentage is 25%. Yeah, Tier B. It's Tyler and uh Steph.

SPEAKER_03 19:08

Sal Miguel?

SPEAKER_04 19:08

No, it's she's got a zero. Everyone else is at zeros. I mean, Tyler's the only one who I it's horrible.

SPEAKER_00 19:14

Like has like some history. I don't know. Matt, maybe you could speak more to this, but like uh Tia, I think could maybe charge it. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04 19:22

Sally's never searched for the CT.

SPEAKER_01 19:26

That's not right. That can't be right.

SPEAKER_04 19:28

Then stats it says I see it too. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:30

Yeah. So now I'm questioning the other zeros. Yeah. Isabella Nichols doesn't. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

How many times has this been on tour for the women? Is it a little bit more?

SPEAKER_04 19:40

It came on a few years ago. It's been on tour. Sally's been on every year.

SPEAKER_00 19:44

Since we've been watching. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, since we've been playing this league, it's been on. Yeah. I don't know. The women have been out and not not chargeable. Yeah, they always put them out small conditions, but unless they've been out, do your own research, folks. Yeah, seriously, I don't know. TRB is a little bit of a don't trust big data.

SPEAKER_03 20:01

Trust the interns, but don't trust the AI. Not enough Red Bulls.

SPEAKER_00 20:05

Yeah, yeah, I know. They've been they that's not true. Oh, good catch. Okay. Yeah. It's pretty gnarly. I don't, I this is just like a hunch. Yeah, Betty Lou so far. Betty Lou, like Alyssa Spencer. Yeah. Seems like someone kind of like a sort of limblad who did pretty well here the one time she served it. Like I think some of those Orange County people travel more than you give credit for. It's like why the cola bindos are so good.

SPEAKER_04 20:30

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 20:31

Um, I don't know. Uh don't know anything about it, but wouldn't be surprised if she you know makes a heap. But yeah, I think I've got Betty. I got Betty Lou now for sure, and I'd probably go like go Tyler. But what do you got, Matt?

SPEAKER_01 20:40

Uh yeah, this is a weird one for me. I literally don't think this has ever happened before, but I got Betty Lou and Tyler. Just my two least favorites are tour. So I think they're gonna do it. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 20:50

It's got pom-poms on everyone. Betty Lou, Tyler, pom-poms.

SPEAKER_04 20:56

One in each hand.

SPEAKER_03 20:57

It's weird.

SPEAKER_04 20:58

Oh, it's so funny. Um, yeah, uh Betty Lou and I was looking at Nadia. Yeah. Throw a flyer with her, see what happens. Yeah. Um, I don't like Tier B at all. Yeah. It's not great.

SPEAKER_03 21:12

No, you just gotta go with the best surfer in there, you know, in the group. Which is? Sal Miguel. Sally Fitzgibbons. Yeah. I don't hate it. She's gonna sell some sheds. She's gonna make some beats.

SPEAKER_00 21:24

Um Sally sells sheds down by the seashore.

SPEAKER_03 21:27

Wow.

SPEAKER_00 21:27

If only a guy from Jersey could say that so smoothly.

SPEAKER_03 21:31

Um Alyssa Spencer, Isabella Nichols also on my radar. Yeah. Uh just because I think they're the best surfers of this group.

SPEAKER_00 21:40

I I think that's kind of not a bad approach, so and then Steph and Tyler, I would also consider.

SPEAKER_03 21:46

I just need to. I know, I know. Yeah, it's alright.

SPEAKER_00 21:49

It's a show. Whatever. We talk about it. But I'm logging in sal.

SPEAKER_03 21:54

Sal's my gal. Did you know that, Noah?

SPEAKER_00 21:56

Yeah, I did. I does she know it is what the Question is.

SPEAKER_03 22:01

I think she's still single. What?

SPEAKER_00 22:03

I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 22:04

Oh, I think she has a family. I mean, like, she has a kids. Not a I don't know if she has a kid, but I think she has a husband. Has a bow? I don't know. I think she has a husband.

SPEAKER_00 22:14

Yeah. So um this is gonna be a play.

SPEAKER_04 22:22

When Google like he types into Sally Fitzkin and it does say, like, who's Sally Fitzkin? This is gonna be a long night, boys.

SPEAKER_00 22:28

If she we find out she's single. Um my gosh. So yeah, Betty Lou runs up, runs into research like in that first round, who's who I think has some um whatever, some history here at least and can kind of serve flat breaky type waves. And then Tyler has the wild card. So I I don't I mean I don't love anything, love anything going through her.

SPEAKER_04 22:46

In the wild card, it was just the same wild card as well. Breaking news.

SPEAKER_03 22:51

Breaking news. Is there a song for this? Right. No, I'll start with the second document. Does not have a husband. Are you kidding?

SPEAKER_04 23:01

What's crazy is Josh is really googling flights to Australia right now. And she's not even there to do it.

SPEAKER_03 23:16

Two-year engagement? What a idiot.

SPEAKER_04 23:19

Couldn't lock it down. Couldn't lock it down.

SPEAKER_03 23:22

This is my least favorite person on the planet in this moment. That's that's the breaking news. Alright, continue what you had to say, which I'm sure the listeners need to hear.

SPEAKER_04 23:33

After that, I don't even know how he What are you still doing here, Josh? That's crazy. Um what was it about the wild card? Was this the same wild card from last year? I think it was like 10 or whatever, 14. Oh, is it 12 years? Oh no, yeah, you're right. She did show that she'd been here before for the event. She's like 15 now. She's super young. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Last year was uh a little uneventful. I I saw the like just some clips of the trials, and it seems like she's getting some tube time, but you're not you're not fully sold on her.

SPEAKER_04 24:01

I think like her surfing last year was like, oh, she scored a three, everyone celebrated. You know, it was like one of those of like, okay, look, we're just stoked you caught some sort of wave. You're a little kid, basically. Dude, we had two teenage girls surfing Tahiti this year. Yeah. Like, it's pretty gnarly.

SPEAKER_03 24:16

So gnarly.

SPEAKER_00 24:19

Okay. So and she runs, she surfs highlight earlier. So I don't know. Do what do you do your own research? I don't know. I I I mean I there's no I probably wouldn't play her, but there's no there's no givens. I mean, Alyssa Spencer has Bella Kenworthy uh T and Aaron Brooks go on her go ahead ahead. I I I do kind of like Aaron Brooks on that. But all right, what do we got? Tier uh tier A. Yeah. Um maybe back to me. I don't know. I'll I'll go um I'll take Carolyn Marks here on the she hasn't been amazing, but this is kind of one of her spots.

SPEAKER_01 24:54

I do think that she does well here. I've already gone with one a gold medal here? That's true.

SPEAKER_03 25:01

Possibly.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Maybe. I think so. That's right.

SPEAKER_03 25:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:05

Uh I already went with Betty Lou and Tyler Wright, so I can't take any more. I'm gonna go Katie and Molly Molly Picklin.

SPEAKER_04 25:10

Yeah, that's fair. I've got uh Katie and Caroline. They both have a heat win percentage of 66.6. So who knows? Uh yeah, so I'm just gonna period that go with the numbers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 25:26

I love having you at this table though. I just see those ground the same as echoes me. I'm not a good reader. True. I see pictures and colors and I hear sounds.

SPEAKER_04 25:36

Yep. I hear that.

SPEAKER_03 25:38

Molly Picking is my gal. I'm probably gonna power her. Um going with long torso, takes one to no one. Carolyn Marks. I hate to say it.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

We hate to hear it.

SPEAKER_03 25:49

Again, probably one of my least favorite surfers as far as her approach and style on a wave. But she gets the job done. Yeah. She's got the job done here before. I like her as a person. She seems like a very nice woman. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 26:03

And um I think fortunately for her, she's engaged. Recently engaged, yeah. No reason for you to slide in. Praise God. Not interested. Well, now that he knows Sally's open.

SPEAKER_03 26:15

I don't think he's bold and I don't want to say anything negative here. I'm Mr. Positivity. Yeah, man. Uh besides my co-workers.

SPEAKER_00 26:23

Don't. Yeah. Um, I'm sorry, so you had Molly and uh Katie. No, no, Marks and Molly. Yeah. Nice, yeah. Yeah. I think I think in the Tier A women, you do have some things to think about. Oh, yeah. Right. A lot to think about. Because Katie can surf there. Carissa, I assume, can surf here. I think so too.

SPEAKER_03 26:43

Got more waves than anyone else out there.

SPEAKER_00 26:45

Marks, I and I think Gabby Bryan can. Lakey probably has not one of her big spots for her. Luana, I think, will give it her best shot. And then Molly. And I think Sawyer has got some good waves here, too. I remember getting a couple of bottles.

SPEAKER_03 27:00

I just love her too. There's like a certain surfers just have like the eye for the judge. I feel like she has it.

SPEAKER_04 27:07

She's a goofy foot. Lakey's never gotten through a heat three times. Okay. Pretty gnarly.

SPEAKER_00 27:13

Wolfert. Pretty heavy, dude. Regular footed point break surfer. It's not a good one. Yeah. Yeah. It's interesting. I mean, the even with that Spartan helmet.

SPEAKER_03 27:23

Yeah, for sure. There's always money in the banana stand.

SPEAKER_01 27:26

That's right. We're re-watching it right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:29

That's that McDonald's and Galita, you know? There's always money in the banana stand.

SPEAKER_00 27:35

Good stuff, guys. That's all we got in time. Power surfer women? Oh, sorry, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 27:38

Power surfer women. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

SPEAKER_00 27:40
