😂😂😂 This could be my fav hiller video mate. At this point, I think the only reason I’m interested in CrossFit is because of this channel. It’s clear to anyone with half a wit that Tia is milking milking milking the community for all she can. She does my absolute head in. Great she’s a mam, and she’s back. Good for her. But She isn’t Annie though who is an absolute Star in my eyes (has respect, gives back etc). Honestly this video I watched from start to finished and laughed out loud throughout. Brilliant fucking brilliant 😂
Thanks Hiller for not being bothered about trying to suck up to everyone and wanting to be liked and just telling the truth. It’s amazing how people would rather be liked than call out the wrongs.
I hate how she speaks like she’s the only mother in the field or the only woman to come back from pregnancy put some respect on Arielle, Annie, Kara and everybody else
Please spend 5minutes listening to Kara - 😂😂😂 she speaks like she’s the only HUMAN ever to have had a child let alone a competitor. But yeah, imagine that, human woman has a child. 😮😂
You are not the goat because you give to the community. You are the goat when you achieved greter success than anyonr else. Tom Brady is not the goat because he gives time to highschooler but because he won the most ring in the league.
@@JayDoesFitnessand Rich has done that. No one else has won 10 championships in 12 years, not to mention the stable of athletes he has mentored and dynasty he has built at Mayhem.
@@spencergsmith I don't agree with mixing individual title and teams title but you do you. Mat was way more dominant in a way more competitve era. Rich is amazing that is not what I am saying but IMO Fraser has the edge for the goat title.
@@JayDoesFitness just because you discount the team titles doesn’t mean Rich wasn’t dominant for those competitions. And yes, the field may have been more competitive during Mat’s era, but you could attribute that to evolving training and recovery methods, plus the other athletes pushed him to be more focused. Who knows what Rich would’ve done had he stayed in individual competition, utilized those methods, and his peers pushed him in the same way? Since this entire is discussion is hypothetical (because Rich and Mat never faced off when both were at their peak), you can’t say anything for certain. Also, just last year, Chris Hinshaw told our seminar group that he thought Rich was fitter than ever before, and would easily podium if he competed individually. Take that for what it’s worth.
She doesn’t care about crossfit, the community, mental health any of that she only cares about herself and winning… which honestly is fine if she would just have the balls to say it
Not having a go at you personally but why I don't get why people think she should "have the balls to say it" when it should be assumed its the default position for all these athletes? These athletes all need money to pay the bills and for most of them their cashflow is tied up in their appearance and/or performance at these events. Both Tia and Matt F get/got it. They know they are getting paid a lot of money to make themselves a fit as possible, win and thus secure themselves all the big dollar sponsorships and endorsements. Why should Tia care about CrossFit as a brand? Its always been about the rewards that flow from it. Danni Speegal, as much as im not a fan, gets it, she uses CrossFit to to open the door to promotion, magazine covers etc
Why does she have to say what’s obvious? It is a sport and career for her. She’s playing it with extreme prowess and making a lot money. Why is that fact something she needs to “be honest” about?
Not that anyone cares… Used to love Tia but I’m finding her more and more cringe worthy every time I see her these days. This was a great video by Hiller. CrossFit is dying and it’s because of people like Tia and Fraser and CrossFit HQ.
"I've never seen a change with a person like I have with you over the past 8 years. You're not even the same person." YES - that's what narcissism will do to ya. I can't stand people using their kids as marketing material. Tia is just cringe right now. Makes me want to walk away from even watching any comp she's going to be in.
I think it's funny that Sean and the Kaleesi didn't have anything to talk about while waiting for Tia. Sevan can go for hours if a guest doesn't show up, these 2 couldn't do 5 minutes. Tia is right, recovery (TRT) is expensive.
Why is it it not ok for someone to dominate the sport and make a lot of money without being extremely transparent and accessible ? The sport of CrossFit is a career for Tia and all her choices line up with being the best and making the most money. Good for her. It doesn’t have to have the religious-like loyalty for all athletes, and I don’t agree they all have to “give back” with an expected level of vulnerability/access. Some do and some don’t, as in all sports. I think this may put a unnecessary “slimy” image onto an athlete that has given her all to her craft (looked like a boss in Rogue event 1) and made a lot of money doing it. Good for her.
Agreed. This guy on this channel is very disrespectful! Unbelievable what you say dude! It’s her job and she is trying to get more money for the athletes, help the sport grow! Look at women’s football/soccer. Same thing. Every time I see your videos I cringe! And people who use this channel to disrespect her. Shame On you all!!
I agree. Why is it a bad thing for her to think she is going to retire only to decide she isn't? She loves what she does and is earning money. It has nothing to do with Laura or any other woman,
I've really gone off her lately; find her really false, and just something about. I hear one more time she's doing it for her daughter - to watch a strong woman do what she can- the kids 6 months old, it barely remembering yesterday!!! And she acting like she the first athlete to have a kid and compete again.... Annie nearly handed her ass to her in 2022. I'm a huge fan of all the athletes who aren't camps, or still work (Emily Rolfe) and are successful. Tia is done for me.
Couldn’t agree more.Vellner, Rolfe, mertens are so impressive to me for that reason. And the ones that still own and coach at an affiliate. Those are the real OGs.
Doing it for her daughter? Maybe she should have wait a year before coming back and breadtfeed her daughter instead, that's what that kid needs, not a trophee on the cheminee. Sorry but not sorry.
I am with you Andrew I always admired her performances, but god she seems so fake all the time, boring, shallow... I never watch her videos, nothing interesting besides seeing her move bc yes she is an amazing athlete
I HATE when moms say they do something to show their child how strong they are. No, you are doing it for you and especially as a Games athlete you have to be super selfish because it takes a lot of selfish behavior to be a Games athlete. I don’t care how many of you downvote me. It is true and everyone is on this woke attitude to say things that SOUND good. No Tia, you are doing this for YOU.
Idk. I have a different take on this. I hate when people say “I can’t do this cause I have a kid.” I think getting your kid involved in sports and being a role model is pretty awesome. There’s a lot of parents that stop doing things, including sports because they have a kid. I’m always amazed by the moms at my box that have their kiddos in tow. They’re mvps in my book.
@@CB-sr8ee That's not a "different take". You are comparing apples and oranges. Moms training at a CF box with their kids "in tow" is great as it's (at least should be) a very nurturing, positive environment. That's not what @ranaepape was saying at all. Annie, Tia or any of the top athletes are, by the nature of their elite status, only there because they put themselves first, always. Her husband gets up when the baby cries whilst Tia sleeps (she said this herself) as it's detrimental to her training if she doesn't. Annie left her daughter (a few months old) at home for the first weeks when she went back to competition. Forget the fact that the time, energy, discipline and sacrifice she gave to her training regime must take a toll on her time with her daughter (you can disagree, but if you're not a parent, your opinion is irrelevant) It'S really very simple. Admire, praise and be in awe of all the elite athletes for the reason they are "elite". This is their focused, determined dedication to being the very best at what they do and not giving up on their goals, even though they must be in a relatively privileged position to even attempt this. This is admirable only in it's own context. Don't listen to anything they have to say about parenting or showing empathy. They know which words to say but never follow these words with measurable actions.
I’m not so sure about Rich, look back at the history between him and other athletes. He doesn’t air dirty laundry, but a lot of athletes don’t like him
I love Tia, she's a beast... but the last thing she has is respect for other people and that is her personality, it is a little disrespecful to actually ask for respect when you don't have it eh?
Guarantee she's talking about the documentary when she came 2nd for the 2nd time- she's talked about it before, because they captured her crying/super emotional.
4:18 I love that you spelt Sean's name wrong while talking about him being disrespected. Either it's a comical (and ironically disrespectful) mistake or next level genius.
The Reign sponsorship ad after the baby is simply nuts, especially if she is breastfeeding. Grab that money and run. One of the best videos you have ever made Hiller.
Arnold Schwarzenegger did a great video the other day. “Don’t take the path of hate, that is the easy path. But it leads nowhere” a lot of hate in the comment section here. Reflects more on the haters than Tia.
So many contradictions in this interview, and so many opportunities to ask many questions from her answers. When I watched this, I truly believe the questions were vetted before going on this podcast.
Omg, right! When she did those dumbbell presses right over willows head, I held my breath hoping something didn't make her lose her grip. I can't imagine risking dropping one on her head. Not to mention all the shaking her head on that bike. Ugh!
If it what it takes to be the 6X champ.🤷🏼♂️ You're just an average fan who is there to support your favorite personalities. We're here for the competition, doesn't matter who is a nice person or not
I really don't understand this obsession with Tia owing the Crossfit community an apology for the retirement/non-retirement. Sports is littered with much bigger names of athletes in way more popular sports officially retiring only to announce they are coming back (Jordan, Magic, Brady, Sugar Ray Leonard, Deion Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, Randy Moss, Mario Lemieux) and guess what? None of those players issued apologies for changing their minds...even after newspapers, magazines, and SportsCenter produced farewell stories, issues, broadcasts celebrating their careers. Perhaps after win 6 she was in a mental and emotional place where retirement was on her mind...and then with some distance from that moment, she changed her mind! Crazy! So stop with the 'she owes CrossFit an apology' nonsense. Woodland ran with the story and then the narrative changed...and experienced journalist/broadcaster would have hedged with a statement along the lines of 'at this time, I believe she is going to retire'. Why the hate for Tia hawking products as well? There are less accomplished CrossFit athletes that have won sweet f*ck all, but their media feeds are nothing but product placement. You can't tell me Danielle Brandon, the Wells sisters, and even Emma Lawson are more about winning than capitalizing on their IG popularity. Every one of their stories is shilling for friggin' Toe Spacer, a cold plunge tank, or supplements. Why single out TCT? And guess what, as a dad with three daughters I talk about them all the time. It's part of being a proud parent. This community couldn't get out of their way to slobber all over Annie for coming back from having a baby and mentioning it every single time she was competing in an event. This double standard is truly confounding. Lastly, prominent athletes that are focused on winning generally give next to nothing in interviews. Jordan has been retired for years and we still know next to nothing about him. Steffi Graff was very protective of her personal life. All we know about Tom Brady is his love of avocado ice cream and the TB12 method. Fraser still hasn't opened up. Not everyone is an open book.
On point, and who cares if she decided to come out of retirement. Like her or not, we should all be impressed on how well she did this weekend at the Rogue Invitational. Six months post deliver, and only 10 points off of #1. All the other athletes should be like 😮….
You should know what you're talking about, before you go on about it.🙄You missed the part where Tia&Shane explicitly asked Sean to announce during her last event that she was retiring, and then moments later while still standing on the "competition floor" gaslit (Sean) and acted like she never said that and played coy about coming back next year.
The irony of Tia saying that you don’t get in depth interviews and getting to know people on a podcast that once had an emoji draft is hilarious. The same podcast that only highlights the top handful of athletes. I’ve said this elsewhere but Barbell spin-Coffeepodsnwods-Clydesdale-recently B-Friendly and of course Sevan are the only ones that talk and invite all the athletes on. Especially with Sevan you are definitely going to get to know the athletes at more than a surface level. As an Australian I’m extremely proud of what she has accomplished but I’m more of a fan of other athletes because of interviews of heard from them and how you get to know them from in depth interviews. Anyway good video Hiller.
Your interview with Bill Leahy flipped the script on my impression of him. Now I am a fan of his, hoping he connects with a great coach to get to his full potential. How many of your videos or even Sevan’s podcast has Tia watched? Or is she just listening to the haters and not doing the research herself. Because I have learned so much about the athletes on Sevan’s podcasts.
It always amazes me when people want to irradicate accountability and integrity in the name of feel-good and emotional safety. If the rules (i.e. complete rep definition) no longer matter because they make people feel bad about themselves, then what is the purpose of the games? If the rules doen't matter because they make us feel bad when they challenge us, How are the accomplishments that make us feel good about ourselves to be measured? As an outsider to Crossfit, it seems like the whole point of the games is to take people out of their comfort zones, challenging their mental and physical determination, expose their strengths and weaknesses, and giving the athletes a chance to prove themselves to themselves and others by meeting and overcoming the challenges.
Sorry but that made no sense. Tyson Bagent is in the NFL, a sport that is waaaaay bigger than CrossFit. Why wouldn't the views be more than the TEF podcast? Also, the number of views on TEF says more about the podcast than Tia. It's just how TH-cam algorithm works.
I like the bashing on Tia because I dislike people being untouchable. I don’t even dislike her, I am just against mob mentality and blind positivity. (Also she takes PEDS and lies to people about it while selling programming so that’s pretty messed up imo)
Its like you were talking about with the Glassman video the other day, She cares about herself and her brand, its why champs like her and fraser arent anywhere near as popular as Froning is. He truly cares about spreadign the word of crossfit and giving back to the comunity. Tia is just a one dimensional person whos only identity is in being good at exercising and she is afraid of losing that. We need emasadors of the sport not just mega stars worried about selling the next sports drink or protein shake. I also wish Sean W would have called her out for setting him up but I get that they need to be nice to get a couple views.
Your platform (to me anyway) tries to hold people accountable. No different to having a judge in the open. You no rep, they tell you. That way its a fair playing field. I've not seen anything negative from you, your channel actually tries to lift the sport. You give very fair criticism and a chance for those to reply. Keep being the hero Crossfit deserves, not what it needs 🦇
My biggest concern is “what’s her point?” I felt like she was throwing or calling out people like Hiller, sorry, mostly Hiller’s content,and when she had the chance to shot the gun, she said “like you guys the narrators when talk about my performance only and nothing else” WHAT?????what????
I’m big fan of your content Hiller. I disagree with your point that it is somehow a knock on Tia for getting every penny out of CrossFit that she can. She is entitled to that as an athlete in the sport and as a provider for her family just as you are entitled to take in every penny you can out of your TH-cam channel. Both deservedly so.
Damn. When Tia says all this crap about uplifting each other in the sport (while side-eyeing you) while also totally disregarding the fact Crossfit has a serious standards/judging/professionalisation issue is so unhinged for a professional athlete. She's been the champ 6 (!!!) times, she should be LEADING the charge on standards and fair competition as it's in her own interest to only want to beat the best in the most fair environment possible. Unless of course...
I dont think a lot of athletes/people understand how to maturely deal with criticism and accountability. We all f up but we should all be able to own up to it and accept the consequences as well as work on improving ourselves and not repeat this mistake.
6:01 this really chafes me. Reign fuel (any energy drink) is not good for your body and the only positive influence this is having on Tia and her baby is their bank account. I know people will come at me and say energy drinks are fine- you do what you want to do, but I will never advocate for energy drinks- they’re harmful to your system and make you feel like junk.
I’ve never been a Tia fan especially after her being such a baby on her second place finish in 2016 and just videos I’ve seen of her in the past training and just did nothing but whine the whole time
This has to be my favorite next to the most humble man in CrossFit. Honestly when she first came on the scene I liked her and even after her first couple championships I was like man she’s cool. But honestly. Like. Just step aside and let Laura or someone else have their time. The fact that she allowed Sean to announce her retirement and then took it back rubbed me the wrong way. And then burned sean online about it and never apologized. Shady. She just doesn’t seem authentic like she once was. All her posts are is ads behind ads. At least May was honest that he was trying to set up him and his family for the future. Just admit that you are milking the money. I feel like she doesn’t have respect for the other athletes. I remember watching a video from last years games of her coaching Emma to try and win and I got the vibes that she just didn’t want Laura to win. Great video hiller.
As a mother to two boys I find myself talking about them as often as I can. It’s something I don’t think you can understand unless you are a parent. You clearly are not and have no interest in. Tia is still very much a fresh new mum. No matter the amazing feats she has accomplished currently. Willow is still so new for her and something exciting that’s outside of CrossFit that she can be proud of. Why the hell wouldn’t you want to talk about something you grew yourself and are watching grow and change every day. It’s life changing. And I think a bit of perspective would go a very long way in regards to her/ every new parents journey. She’s opening up about being a mother and you have don’t nothing but cut the shit out of her. So going forwards what reason would she possibly have to open up about her mental health or any other opinion she has and feel like it isn’t going to be spun or dragged through the mud. Not every person has the ability to just easily delve into their personal feelings for millions of people to judge without it effecting them. Tia clearly doesn’t feel her deepest feelings needs to be spread across the internet for everyone to criticise. I’m sure she has a team to help her if she needs but it’s got absolutely nothing to do with the faceless people of the internet. And for you to expect that of someone is also disrespectful and selfish.
Tia: ~only say nice things about me because it helps my brand and that helps me make money. And, if you say anything bad about me you are a bad person. Riiight - People like this suck and shouldn’t be listened to.
I think the beauty of this vid is that EVERYONE else in crossfit space treats tia like shes untouchable. They dont say anything negative about her (they dont really say anything bad about anyone, even ricky when he popped. So much tip toeing and coddling) Andrew takes it to another lev bc not only does he call her out, he shows her injection sites (zooms IN on em), and gives viewers alllll the tapes. We get to be flies on the wall watching it all go down, and we feel like we're not even supposed to be watching. Bc NO ONE else speaks out against the dynasty
Yea maybe. Also I think if we were to talk about other selfish athletes (also within the CrossFit space) you'd find 1) they'd be a top 10 and 2) they would say and do the things Tia does. Comparing her to ONLY rich froning is a bit of a disservice, as they're both at VERY different places in their careers.
I’m a huge fan of yours but all this is going to do is give her more drive, she’s a beast bro , she’s going to win nothing you or anyone says is going to effect her, she 100% mentally and physically up for any shit that she has to navigate through, she’s the real deal brother, 💪🏻👊🏼
I don't understand why you hate her so much. I just don't see the disrespect you're getting at. And also so what if she talked about her kid? I also don't think she is calling for censoring here. I think she's just saying she doesn't like it.
It's not an Australian thing Hiller 😂 I can't resonate with her at all. I see all the bullshit instagram sponsored plugs that she does and I just shake my head. You keep it real and the world needs that.
I legit stopped caring about her when she was box jumping with a well defined baby bump. No. Thank. You. I don't care if you're the "GOAT", way to put your baby in harm's way. Terrible influence. The ONLY reason she's coming back is her EGO.
One of the best, if not the best, Hiller videos thus far. Absolutely on point. Andrew, being serious, you should think about a TED talk. Stick around for the montage at the end lol😂 RESPECT.
Hiller, do another one where you compare tias interviews from day 1 of rogue. Everyone else: shares stuff, opens up a bit, says things of substance. Tia: says the same thing she's said a million times before and tries to keep the interview as short as possible
It's called game face...being in the zone...staying focused...not tipping off your opponents. Male athletes (Fraser for instance) do it. Don't be sexist. "Everyone else" isn't blowing away the competition for six straight years, or even one.
I have been following Tia since she competed at 2015. I have watched her interviews, and imo, she is kind and encouraging to Crossfit and the other athletes. I really don't understand the hate towards her.
RIGHT?! Just like pregnant women who don't know any better are going to think Box Jumps are fine for a workout. Legit the first thing to leave my movements when I was pregnant with my third.
Having a big name in the CF world is a plus, for many reasons. Im 100% sure that Tia, Rich, Matt were (or... well are, now, since Tia is back from "retirement") all using PDEs. But its always good to have one big name in the events. It sells a story. A nice story with it. Especially now, shes back after having giving birth, etc... They will never, ever say, or allow any proof that these guys were on PEDs. That would be complete suicide for the world of CF, CF games, and everything CF stands for.
@hillerfit dude I am watching you for quite some time and this video is 100% on point for me. Please keep doing the good work of exposing people's weakneses to see how they handle the negative alongside with the positive!
It seems like everyone on here is so harsh on her. I bet most people on here don't know her personally even a little bit. Maybe she doesn't like being in front of the camera and seems fake in that way, she gets a ton of pressure non stop, etc.... idk, I'm just saying I bet she's a great person, friend, wife, mother, and daughter and any other label you could think of.
Who cares if an athlete doesn't give back to the community ? They do the sports because they are good at it and love doing it. To be the goat you don't have to give back but achieve greater success than anyone else.
I get that. Greg himself invited anyone and everyone to test themselves at the Games, not just loyal CrossFitters. But after that, and probably due to Mr. CrossFit, Rich Froning, Games athletes came to symbolize CrossFit itself in the culture. And the Games athletes have certainly exploited that themselves for da loot. One way to think of what Hiller is doing is that he's separating them from CrossFit. They are not in fact a part of the community, and a lot of them deserve no more respect or attention than someone who's just in it to make money. I think Hiller might actually agree with you.
This women should be called out for having a precious child strapped to her chest while exercising, this is child abuse at it best, child welfare should get involved this is not looking after a child
Not saying I disagree entirely with the video, but I have to say, some of your examples just makes zero sense. Bill and Scott video has more views than her TEF interview? Sure, but at the same time you are spruiking how successful your Tia videos are? Dude, it's the fact that you made those videos, not because it was featuring Bill or Scott!
"He Sold the Windshield!" ... I paused the video and bent over laughing LOL! Perfect insert. "This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons" ... I'm watching that movie tonight. I realize this comment has little to do with the content of the video but it just cracked me up so bad I had to let you know. Keep it up Sir.

No doubt in my mind that you are Welsh 🏴
Thanks Hiller for not being bothered about trying to suck up to everyone and wanting to be liked and just telling the truth. It’s amazing how people would rather be liked than call out the wrongs.
I was entertained by her win on Event 1 at Rogue. That is where the line stops at the momment with Tia. I will always speak what I see
Seems ironic, this comment. Here this guy is, sucking up to Hiller, LOL. I think this is projection?
I hate how she speaks like she’s the only mother in the field or the only woman to come back from pregnancy put some respect on Arielle, Annie, Kara and everybody else
Please spend 5minutes listening to Kara - 😂😂😂 she speaks like she’s the only HUMAN ever to have had a child let alone a competitor.
But yeah, imagine that, human woman has a child. 😮😂
Completely agree. I love Kara but that's one thing I've noticed.
Also add Miranda A. and Stacie T. Both competed with a baby.

There's a reason Rich is the GOAT. He perfectly embodies the CF community. Affiliate owner, games athlete, community member and helps charities
You are not the goat because you give to the community. You are the goat when you achieved greter success than anyonr else. Tom Brady is not the goat because he gives time to highschooler but because he won the most ring in the league.

Yes, honestly absolutely loved this video pure entertainment
She doesn’t care about crossfit, the community, mental health any of that she only cares about herself and winning… which honestly is fine if she would just have the balls to say it
I get that vibe. I wish she would just own that.

Yuppppp I hate how she's like "I am here to show my daughter what girls can do" bullshit bullshit bullshit.
Sponsored by Reign has always been the end goal
Why does she have to say what’s obvious? It is a sport and career for her. She’s playing it with extreme prowess and making a lot money. Why is that fact something she needs to “be honest” about?

I've really gone off her lately; find her really false, and just something about. I hear one more time she's doing it for her daughter - to watch a strong woman do what she can- the kids 6 months old, it barely remembering yesterday!!!
And she acting like she the first athlete to have a kid and compete again.... Annie nearly handed her ass to her in 2022.
I'm a huge fan of all the athletes who aren't camps, or still work (Emily Rolfe) and are successful.
Tia is done for me.
Those who hold full time jobs and compete at a high level are much more impressive.
Couldn’t agree more.Vellner, Rolfe, mertens are so impressive to me for that reason. And the ones that still own and coach at an affiliate. Those are the real OGs.
Kara Saunders has entered the chat.
Doing it for her daughter? Maybe she should have wait a year before coming back and breadtfeed her daughter instead, that's what that kid needs, not a trophee on the cheminee. Sorry but not sorry.
I am with you Andrew I always admired her performances, but god she seems so fake all the time, boring, shallow... I never watch her videos, nothing interesting besides seeing her move bc yes she is an amazing athlete
I respect the fact that people have picked up and left proven. She's on a money grab tour now. Showing up so late and saying nothing is unbelievable!
I HATE when moms say they do something to show their child how strong they are. No, you are doing it for you and especially as a Games athlete you have to be super selfish because it takes a lot of selfish behavior to be a Games athlete.
I don’t care how many of you downvote me. It is true and everyone is on this woke attitude to say things that SOUND good.
No Tia, you are doing this for YOU.
Idk. I have a different take on this. I hate when people say “I can’t do this cause I have a kid.” I think getting your kid involved in sports and being a role model is pretty awesome. There’s a lot of parents that stop doing things, including sports because they have a kid. I’m always amazed by the moms at my box that have their kiddos in tow. They’re mvps in my book.
You're not a parent are you...
@@CB-sr8ee That's not a "different take". You are comparing apples and oranges. Moms training at a CF box with their kids "in tow" is great as it's (at least should be) a very nurturing, positive environment. That's not what @ranaepape was saying at all. Annie, Tia or any of the top athletes are, by the nature of their elite status, only there because they put themselves first, always. Her husband gets up when the baby cries whilst Tia sleeps (she said this herself) as it's detrimental to her training if she doesn't.
Annie left her daughter (a few months old) at home for the first weeks when she went back to competition. Forget the fact that the time, energy, discipline and sacrifice she gave to her training regime must take a toll on her time with her daughter (you can disagree, but if you're not a parent, your opinion is irrelevant)
It'S really very simple.
Admire, praise and be in awe of all the elite athletes for the reason they are "elite". This is their focused, determined dedication to being the very best at what they do and not giving up on their goals, even though they must be in a relatively privileged position to even attempt this. This is admirable only in it's own context.
Don't listen to anything they have to say about parenting or showing empathy. They know which words to say but never follow these words with measurable actions.
Rich Froning is authentic, the other two are not.
Other two?
Mat & Tia?
You don’t think Mat is authentic?
Rich is Authentic…Tia is authentically Fake AF.
I’m not so sure about Rich, look back at the history between him and other athletes. He doesn’t air dirty laundry, but a lot of athletes don’t like him
Rich froning is autistic*
Take a moment to appreciate the Step Brothers “dont touch my drumset” sound bite. Now that’s respect! 🔥
I love Tia, she's a beast... but the last thing she has is respect for other people and that is her personality, it is a little disrespecful to actually ask for respect when you don't have it eh?
Was that a Candice Ownes reference??? "Lifes short, get a helmet"!!! HAHA
I was going boy meets world but that too yes!
There’s just something about her that I can’t ever get behind her the way she talks and acts is so disingenuous
That's why you're not the 6X CrossFit games champion
@@davemwng8623so go buy the PRVN program and support her lifestyle.
@davemwng8623 huh? Being able to identify inauthentic people is why someone can't be 6x games champ? I'm so confused 😂
its the roids - she is completely different to when she started crossfit.
Guarantee she's talking about the documentary when she came 2nd for the 2nd time- she's talked about it before, because they captured her crying/super emotional.
4:18 I love that you spelt Sean's name wrong while talking about him being disrespected. Either it's a comical (and ironically disrespectful) mistake or next level genius.
Shawn 😅
Good catch! 😂
The Reign sponsorship ad after the baby is simply nuts, especially if she is breastfeeding. Grab that money and run. One of the best videos you have ever made Hiller.
This is gold!! We are not worthy!!! Thank you sir!!!!
Arnold Schwarzenegger did a great video the other day. “Don’t take the path of hate, that is the easy path. But it leads nowhere” a lot of hate in the comment section here. Reflects more on the haters than Tia.
So many contradictions in this interview, and so many opportunities to ask many questions from her answers. When I watched this, I truly believe the questions were vetted before going on this podcast.
...and/or these two are in her pocket. Notice the 5 minute power play she made.
As a parent, I hate seeing her workout with a baby strapped to her chest.
Omg, right! When she did those dumbbell presses right over willows head, I held my breath hoping something didn't make her lose her grip. I can't imagine risking dropping one on her head. Not to mention all the shaking her head on that bike. Ugh!
Great ending! Willow was a cool movie when i was a kid. Rewatched it last year and still enjoyed it, but your edit made me love it even more 😂
Tia is a narcissist. Amazing athlete for sure, but a shallow human.
If it what it takes to be the 6X champ.🤷🏼♂️ You're just an average fan who is there to support your favorite personalities. We're here for the competition, doesn't matter who is a nice person or not
Comment from beast is accurate. And Tia will never have the awareness because of it
@Kwildcat13 you're
I really don't understand this obsession with Tia owing the Crossfit community an apology for the retirement/non-retirement. Sports is littered with much bigger names of athletes in way more popular sports officially retiring only to announce they are coming back (Jordan, Magic, Brady, Sugar Ray Leonard, Deion Sanders, Marshawn Lynch, Randy Moss, Mario Lemieux) and guess what? None of those players issued apologies for changing their minds...even after newspapers, magazines, and SportsCenter produced farewell stories, issues, broadcasts celebrating their careers. Perhaps after win 6 she was in a mental and emotional place where retirement was on her mind...and then with some distance from that moment, she changed her mind! Crazy! So stop with the 'she owes CrossFit an apology' nonsense. Woodland ran with the story and then the narrative changed...and experienced journalist/broadcaster would have hedged with a statement along the lines of 'at this time, I believe she is going to retire'.
Why the hate for Tia hawking products as well? There are less accomplished CrossFit athletes that have won sweet f*ck all, but their media feeds are nothing but product placement. You can't tell me Danielle Brandon, the Wells sisters, and even Emma Lawson are more about winning than capitalizing on their IG popularity. Every one of their stories is shilling for friggin' Toe Spacer, a cold plunge tank, or supplements. Why single out TCT?
And guess what, as a dad with three daughters I talk about them all the time. It's part of being a proud parent. This community couldn't get out of their way to slobber all over Annie for coming back from having a baby and mentioning it every single time she was competing in an event. This double standard is truly confounding.
Lastly, prominent athletes that are focused on winning generally give next to nothing in interviews. Jordan has been retired for years and we still know next to nothing about him. Steffi Graff was very protective of her personal life. All we know about Tom Brady is his love of avocado ice cream and the TB12 method. Fraser still hasn't opened up. Not everyone is an open book.
Preach!
On point, and who cares if she decided to come out of retirement. Like her or not, we should all be impressed on how well she did this weekend at the Rogue Invitational. Six months post deliver, and only 10 points off of #1. All the other athletes should be like 😮….
Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻
Yes!!
You should know what you're talking about, before you go on about it.🙄You missed the part where Tia&Shane explicitly asked Sean to announce during her last event that she was retiring, and then moments later while still standing on the "competition floor" gaslit (Sean) and acted like she never said that and played coy about coming back next year.
The irony of Tia saying that you don’t get in depth interviews and getting to know people on a podcast that once had an emoji draft is hilarious. The same podcast that only highlights the top handful of athletes. I’ve said this elsewhere but Barbell spin-Coffeepodsnwods-Clydesdale-recently B-Friendly and of course Sevan are the only ones that talk and invite all the athletes on. Especially with Sevan you are definitely going to get to know the athletes at more than a surface level. As an Australian I’m extremely proud of what she has accomplished but I’m more of a fan of other athletes because of interviews of heard from them and how you get to know them from in depth interviews.
Anyway good video Hiller.
When did tia say hiller doesn’t get in-depth interviews)
@@jtacsbf1821 She didn’t she said there needs to be more in-depth interviews.
Your interview with Bill Leahy flipped the script on my impression of him. Now I am a fan of his, hoping he connects with a great coach to get to his full potential.
How many of your videos or even Sevan’s podcast has Tia watched? Or is she just listening to the haters and not doing the research herself. Because I have learned so much about the athletes on Sevan’s podcasts.
It always amazes me when people want to irradicate accountability and integrity in the name of feel-good and emotional safety. If the rules (i.e. complete rep definition) no longer matter because they make people feel bad about themselves, then what is the purpose of the games? If the rules doen't matter because they make us feel bad when they challenge us, How are the accomplishments that make us feel good about ourselves to be measured? As an outsider to Crossfit, it seems like the whole point of the games is to take people out of their comfort zones, challenging their mental and physical determination, expose their strengths and weaknesses, and giving the athletes a chance to prove themselves to themselves and others by meeting and overcoming the challenges.
Very smug and haughty i feel.
If she was man would you say the same?
I absolutely love that each of the Tyson Bagent videos have more views than tias TEF podcast.
Sorry but that made no sense. Tyson Bagent is in the NFL, a sport that is waaaaay bigger than CrossFit. Why wouldn't the views be more than the TEF podcast? Also, the number of views on TEF says more about the podcast than Tia. It's just how TH-cam algorithm works.
@@wleng Because only crossfitters watch my channel. TH-cam lets me know that
I like the bashing on Tia because I dislike people being untouchable. I don’t even dislike her, I am just against mob mentality and blind positivity. (Also she takes PEDS and lies to people about it while selling programming so that’s pretty messed up imo)
all of them do
Sure, thats a fair assumption. @@danielsparks1848
Its like you were talking about with the Glassman video the other day, She cares about herself and her brand, its why champs like her and fraser arent anywhere near as popular as Froning is. He truly cares about spreadign the word of crossfit and giving back to the comunity. Tia is just a one dimensional person whos only identity is in being good at exercising and she is afraid of losing that. We need emasadors of the sport not just mega stars worried about selling the next sports drink or protein shake. I also wish Sean W would have called her out for setting him up but I get that they need to be nice to get a couple views.
ambassadors 😆🤔
Best video you've put out by far. An amalgamation of truth pertaining to many "Tia" aspects.
Some people like to callout the elephant in the room. Andrew calls out the herd. Nobody is safe. 🦇 🦇
Your platform (to me anyway) tries to hold people accountable. No different to having a judge in the open. You no rep, they tell you. That way its a fair playing field. I've not seen anything negative from you, your channel actually tries to lift the sport. You give very fair criticism and a chance for those to reply. Keep being the hero Crossfit deserves, not what it needs 🦇
He is literally accusing tia of cheating with no actual evidence
@@jtacsbf1821 he's making an argument, natty or not.
@@lakota_stu no he’s not. He’s making clickbait
@jtacsbf1821 of course he is and he admits it.
@@jtacsbf1821and we are both clicking because that interview was an air sandwich. It told us nothing interesting.
My biggest concern is “what’s her point?” I felt like she was throwing or calling out people like Hiller, sorry, mostly Hiller’s content,and when she had the chance to shot the gun, she said “like you guys the narrators when talk about my performance only and nothing else” WHAT?????what????
I’m big fan of your content Hiller. I disagree with your point that it is somehow a knock on Tia for getting every penny out of CrossFit that she can. She is entitled to that as an athlete in the sport and as a provider for her family just as you are entitled to take in every penny you can out of your TH-cam channel. Both deservedly so.
Damn. When Tia says all this crap about uplifting each other in the sport (while side-eyeing you) while also totally disregarding the fact Crossfit has a serious standards/judging/professionalisation issue is so unhinged for a professional athlete. She's been the champ 6 (!!!) times, she should be LEADING the charge on standards and fair competition as it's in her own interest to only want to beat the best in the most fair environment possible. Unless of course...
The 2024 in which Tia is the villain of CrossFit is the 2024 I want.
I dont think a lot of athletes/people understand how to maturely deal with criticism and accountability. We all f up but we should all be able to own up to it and accept the consequences as well as work on improving ourselves and not repeat this mistake.
6:01 this really chafes me. Reign fuel (any energy drink) is not good for your body and the only positive influence this is having on Tia and her baby is their bank account. I know people will come at me and say energy drinks are fine- you do what you want to do, but I will never advocate for energy drinks- they’re harmful to your system and make you feel like junk.
Laura isn't fit enough to crush Tia sevan, she's the games champion with the most holes in her fitness to ever win the games
The Will-o montage was awesome-o 🤠
“life ain’t all sunshine and rainbows”
keep preachin Hiller 🤘🏻
I’ve never been a Tia fan especially after her being such a baby on her second place finish in 2016 and just videos I’ve seen of her in the past training and just did nothing but whine the whole time
What are you doing releasing videos at 3am Hiller? Tia in your nightmares?
Even ramblr is awake at 3am
He woke up for the HSLT made launch.
@@damianfinke7609great comment
This has to be my favorite next to the most humble man in CrossFit. Honestly when she first came on the scene I liked her and even after her first couple championships I was like man she’s cool. But honestly. Like. Just step aside and let Laura or someone else have their time. The fact that she allowed Sean to announce her retirement and then took it back rubbed me the wrong way. And then burned sean online about it and never apologized. Shady. She just doesn’t seem authentic like she once was. All her posts are is ads behind ads. At least May was honest that he was trying to set up him and his family for the future. Just admit that you are milking the money. I feel like she doesn’t have respect for the other athletes. I remember watching a video from last years games of her coaching Emma to try and win and I got the vibes that she just didn’t want Laura to win. Great video hiller.
Doing a workout with the least NO REPS as fast as possible is literally how you win at CrossFit! How is calling out no reps an issue?!?
This is the best description of CrossFit (the sport) ever ❤️🔥
As a mother to two boys I find myself talking about them as often as I can. It’s something I don’t think you can understand unless you are a parent. You clearly are not and have no interest in. Tia is still very much a fresh new mum. No matter the amazing feats she has accomplished currently. Willow is still so new for her and something exciting that’s outside of CrossFit that she can be proud of. Why the hell wouldn’t you want to talk about something you grew yourself and are watching grow and change every day. It’s life changing. And I think a bit of perspective would go a very long way in regards to her/ every new parents journey.
She’s opening up about being a mother and you have don’t nothing but cut the shit out of her. So going forwards what reason would she possibly have to open up about her mental health or any other opinion she has and feel like it isn’t going to be spun or dragged through the mud. Not every person has the ability to just easily delve into their personal feelings for millions of people to judge without it effecting them. Tia clearly doesn’t feel her deepest feelings needs to be spread across the internet for everyone to criticise. I’m sure she has a team to help her if she needs but it’s got absolutely nothing to do with the faceless people of the internet. And for you to expect that of someone is also disrespectful and selfish.
god, didn't love tia before, but now... woke shit + hypocrisy.... damn
It irks Hiller so much that Tia didn't mention him ... Maybe she did it intentionally.
I think she did it on purpose too
@@hillerfit No doubt on purpose. Just a manufactured dig. Talking PEDs got under her skin…hmmm
Tia: ~only say nice things about me because it helps my brand and that helps me make money. And, if you say anything bad about me you are a bad person.
Riiight - People like this suck and shouldn’t be listened to.
Killing it Hiller
Love Sean’s face through interview
I think the beauty of this vid is that EVERYONE else in crossfit space treats tia like shes untouchable. They dont say anything negative about her (they dont really say anything bad about anyone, even ricky when he popped. So much tip toeing and coddling)
Andrew takes it to another lev bc not only does he call her out, he shows her injection sites (zooms IN on em), and gives viewers alllll the tapes.
We get to be flies on the wall watching it all go down, and we feel like we're not even supposed to be watching. Bc NO ONE else speaks out against the dynasty
👏👏👏
"injection sites"?! What did I miss? (And I watched the clickbait video.)
@vanillaghetto he zoomed in to the 3 dots on her stomach where he suggests maybe injections/steroids?
@@jomlin143 Thanks for letting me know!
Note to self: Unabashed success can build generational wealth but it doesn't always build good character.
Hiller calling someone out for being disrespectful is the height of unintended irony.
Yea maybe. Also I think if we were to talk about other selfish athletes (also within the CrossFit space) you'd find 1) they'd be a top 10 and 2) they would say and do the things Tia does. Comparing her to ONLY rich froning is a bit of a disservice, as they're both at VERY different places in their careers.
@@thenoblesavage Selfish? I'd have to think about that. But strawman-ing someone via dubious analogies and/or unfair comparisons is classic Hiller.
@@seinsfrage ...classic sexism (too).
Great analysis Andrew, absolutely accurate.
The "Come Together" edits.... *chefs kiss*
I’m a huge fan of yours but all this is going to do is give her more drive, she’s a beast bro , she’s going to win nothing you or anyone says is going to effect her, she 100% mentally and physically up for any shit that she has to navigate through, she’s the real deal brother, 💪🏻👊🏼
I don't understand why you hate her so much. I just don't see the disrespect you're getting at. And also so what if she talked about her kid? I also don't think she is calling for censoring here. I think she's just saying she doesn't like it.
The Beatles had me absolutely rolling 😂😂
She has not respect for any of the other competitors, she actually said that no one could even compete with her on a CrossFit video
This cracks me up😂. Keep doing what you're doing Andrew.
It's not an Australian thing Hiller 😂 I can't resonate with her at all. I see all the bullshit instagram sponsored plugs that she does and I just shake my head. You keep it real and the world needs that.
I legit stopped caring about her when she was box jumping with a well defined baby bump. No. Thank. You. I don't care if you're the "GOAT", way to put your baby in harm's way. Terrible influence. The ONLY reason she's coming back is her EGO.
One of the best, if not the best, Hiller videos thus far. Absolutely on point. Andrew, being serious, you should think about a TED talk. Stick around for the montage at the end lol😂 RESPECT.
Oh and sweet vid Hiller AGAIN. murdered. Made my laugh a lot. Great job 👏🏼
3am in Florida... just watching Hiller videos.
I didn’t miss hearing her name yesterday at the invitational 😑
Hiller, do another one where you compare tias interviews from day 1 of rogue. Everyone else: shares stuff, opens up a bit, says things of substance. Tia: says the same thing she's said a million times before and tries to keep the interview as short as possible
It's called game face...being in the zone...staying focused...not tipping off your opponents. Male athletes (Fraser for instance) do it. Don't be sexist. "Everyone else" isn't blowing away the competition for six straight years, or even one.
😂 that Willow montage at the end. Great movie.
I have been following Tia since she competed at 2015. I have watched her interviews, and imo, she is kind and encouraging to Crossfit and the other athletes. I really don't understand the hate towards her.
I agree. And she was very engaging, kind, and encouraging to ALL of the athletes during the Rogue comp.
completely agree every time TIA talks, she just shows how ignorant she is its pretty nuts....
If Tia needs a safe space , it is called retirement.
Great, now all nursing moms are going to think that drinking Reign is good for them because Tia told them to 😂
RIGHT?! Just like pregnant women who don't know any better are going to think Box Jumps are fine for a workout. Legit the first thing to leave my movements when I was pregnant with my third.
LMFAO Hillier you are the man. Only person who says it as it is ❤
She reminds me of Bill Belichick. Hates media and always gives people answers that are not about the topic just skates around.
The reign ad by Tia was chef’s kiss
I’m cheering for ANYONE except Tia …..I’m over her
Same. Have been for years
Me too, I said to my husband she has so much money she can afford to recover in record speed from a birth/baby…..
My new shirt needs to say,
“Life’s tough get a helmet”
-Owens
-Hiller
Having a big name in the CF world is a plus, for many reasons.
Im 100% sure that Tia, Rich, Matt were (or... well are, now, since Tia is back from "retirement") all using PDEs. But its always good to have one big name in the events. It sells a story. A nice story with it. Especially now, shes back after having giving birth, etc...
They will never, ever say, or allow any proof that these guys were on PEDs. That would be complete suicide for the world of CF, CF games, and everything CF stands for.
i don't like her. never have. never will. always respected her ability and single-mindedness
The fact that your platform bothers her so much only tells me that the truth is eating away at her.
Hiller, you need to talk about the power cleans in the legends category… no reps on no reps on no reps! It was painful to watch!
Yes totally relevant and important. Cant wait for the no rep video for the legends.
@hillerfit dude I am watching you for quite some time and this video is 100% on point for me. Please keep doing the good work of exposing people's weakneses to see how they handle the negative alongside with the positive!
This is just another example of the contradiction between Methodology and Sport. Glassman knew this would happen.
It seems like everyone on here is so harsh on her. I bet most people on here don't know her personally even a little bit. Maybe she doesn't like being in front of the camera and seems fake in that way, she gets a ton of pressure non stop, etc.... idk, I'm just saying I bet she's a great person, friend, wife, mother, and daughter and any other label you could think of.
The willow montage😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 I was crying at this
It was like watching the rest of the field chasing the PED’s to the finish line
Who cares if an athlete doesn't give back to the community ? They do the sports because they are good at it and love doing it. To be the goat you don't have to give back but achieve greater success than anyone else.
I get that. Greg himself invited anyone and everyone to test themselves at the Games, not just loyal CrossFitters. But after that, and probably due to Mr. CrossFit, Rich Froning, Games athletes came to symbolize CrossFit itself in the culture. And the Games athletes have certainly exploited that themselves for da loot. One way to think of what Hiller is doing is that he's separating them from CrossFit. They are not in fact a part of the community, and a lot of them deserve no more respect or attention than someone who's just in it to make money. I think Hiller might actually agree with you.
Even the Dogs knew she had a baby!!! 😂😂
This women should be called out for having a precious child strapped to her chest while exercising, this is child abuse at it best, child welfare should get involved this is not looking after a child
I know crossfit is your bag but if you decided to cover other strength sports I'd be all for it:)
Not saying I disagree entirely with the video, but I have to say, some of your examples just makes zero sense. Bill and Scott video has more views than her TEF interview? Sure, but at the same time you are spruiking how successful your Tia videos are? Dude, it's the fact that you made those videos, not because it was featuring Bill or Scott!
Killed me when he said get off the internet, like you recommended lol
"He Sold the Windshield!" ... I paused the video and bent over laughing LOL! Perfect insert. "This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons" ... I'm watching that movie tonight. I realize this comment has little to do with the content of the video but it just cracked me up so bad I had to let you know. Keep it up Sir.
