We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
Every day of this show is the thing
I need to get me through the day.
And today, I need it real bad.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy bring the heat.
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
Half hour hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate, tune in now,
you part of the fam.
It's lunch time.
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale and
the Cowboy.
What's up, yo?
Yeah,
so I literally just flew into my seat
and launched the show.
That is a fact.
Vicky and Corey have been hanging out for
a while.
A couple minutes.
Dude,
I just got out of a meeting literally
like a minute and a half ago.
Yeah.
and there's a guy there how do i
describe this so our vendor we send a
file to our vendor every quarter our
vendor can't find it of course not they
can't find it in the folder that they
set up makes perfect sense even though we
have all the receipts that it went to
the folder that they set up so our
ois guy is trying to like figure out
a way to get them back to
where they're supposed to be right and as
he does everything in the meeting he talks
to himself in this mumble whisper as he's
doing every thing and i'm on camera trying
not to lose my shit like one circus
music should be playing over the top of
this meeting because it is yeah exactly
But the whole time he's well, I,
I could move this over here and,
and if they could just pick this up
in this folder, like the whole meeting,
I will say this in dad news defense.
I talk to myself all day.
I do too.
But I,
but I have a switch that like when
I'm on a meeting with like eight,
teen other people,
I switched that talk to myself off.
Yeah.
if I'm talking to somebody, like,
especially a customer in my head,
so I'm talking to, I'm in sales,
obviously.
So, so insurance.
So in my head, if I'm,
if it's quiet,
somebody is waiting for something for it
to happen, right?
Like, and I should be moving faster.
So I'll be in the process of doing
something.
It's not anything I control.
My laptop might be running slow.
The internet might be running slow for
what I'm trying to do.
So,
i'm turning and i'm waiting and um i've
got this blue circle as soon as this
blue circle gets done i guarantee it will
be fine because i want to hurry up
and get it done um so i talk
to myself while talking to customers on a
regular basis and as mark phillips is
saying right here oh he looks at his
keyboard while he types um i look at
my keyboard while i type i shoot back
and forth i'm not like straight up hunting
and pecking
I'm better than that,
but I will look down, look up,
look down, look up the entire time.
My typing skills leave a lot to be
desired.
I am not like the fastest typer in
the world,
but I do not look at my...
I'm hitting the backspace a lot when I
type.
So, okay, there's that.
Yeah.
But I'm not looking at it.
I'm just...
Oh shit.
Backspace.
And now with all this like AI shit,
like it's trying to correct it for you.
And a lot of times it does it
correctly.
And I'm,
I've already hit the backspace cause I've
messed it up.
A hundred percent.
Yeah.
Especially on emails.
It'd be like,
it'll re-spell stuff as I'm going through.
And as it's re-spelling it,
I'm doing the same thing.
I'm backspace, backspace, backspace.
Man.
Have you ever had autocorrect?
or AI, whatever it is these days,
just look at it and you go,
I have no clue, dude.
So like,
you're not even close to a spelling of
a word that makes sense.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I will say this.
Not so much.
I am a fairly decent speller.
I would probably be Jason Hopper in a
spelling bee.
I'm just throwing that out there.
One of my best friends used to work
with this chick whenever he ran the dairy
department at a grocery store.
She worked over there.
They follow each other on Facebook.
He will send me her statuses from time
to time because...
Her autocorrect has packed up and left.
Like her autocorrect looked at some of the
stuff and was like,
I don't know what this is supposed to
be.
I'm not even going to try and just
deuced out.
And it is some of the most,
some of the funniest stuff I've ever read
in my entire life because it's not
cohesive whatsoever.
There's no punctuation at all.
Talking about her, her husband, boyfriend,
whatever, and spells him out.
h-e-m consecutively like every single time
not just like oh i absolutely accidentally
hit the e instead of the i which
is on the opposite side of the keyboard
or whatnot but i have it but i
know peoples that have put it to you
like that uh just for mirrors i've never
wanted to use the phrase what the duck
or duck you ever i've also never said
what the heel
Not even once.
What the hell?
Hold on.
But not what the heel.
Like H-E-L-L.
Correct.
Never happened.
Not once.
Yeah.
What the heel do?
Yeah, perfect.
What the heel, dude?
No, that's not a thing.
It's not a thing I've ever said.
Heel, yeah.
There we go.
There it is.
There it is.
Never once said that.
So just let the people at Apple know
that those are not actual phrases.
Sorry.
Not sorry.
These are the things that have convinced
me in my life that AI cannot take
over.
Well, here's the thing.
If it tried, we'd be like, come on,
dude.
We know that's you.
Right?
Yeah.
AI trying to take over would be like
three kids in a trench coat trying to
impersonate an adult at the bank.
Like, it's just...
Looking like McGruff the crime dog.
A hundred percent.
Unsteady on their feet the entire time.
Yeah.
There's giggling coming down from the,
from the, the feet area.
Like, no, dude, no, no, no way.
Avera says,
what does spellcheck have against us using
expletives in our prose?
Here's the thing, too, Avera,
is that it'll learn how you type, right?
And it'll want you to put in so
many words.
But as much as I use the F
word on a daily basis,
it still refuses to throw it in there.
Like,
whenever it knows damn good and well what
I want to say, and same thing,
I get to duck.
No, dude, we're not talking about ducks.
Sorry.
Do you ever watch The Good Place?
No.
That's another one that's on Apple,
isn't it?
No, it was on NBC.
Oh, no.
Kristen Bell, Ted Danson.
I know which one you're talking about.
He's in like purgatory or whatever.
Well,
the thought is that they went to heaven,
right?
Yeah.
But they call it a good place.
And there's twists and turns to it all.
None of that really matters.
But you cannot swear in the good place.
So if you try to swear,
it forces your dialect to say another
word.
And so the F word in the good
place is fork.
So everything's, what the fork?
That's fantastic.
That is good stuff right there.
It was a great show, by the way.
You can almost bet that if it's on
network television,
I probably have not seen it if it's
not college football.
That's about as far as I get on
network television.
Yeah, it's...
I'm surprised it was on network television
because it,
it was at a level that was not
what typically makes the network primetime
schedule.
Right.
Like gotcha.
It, it was a little bit,
I don't know.
I think they call it prestige TV.
Like it's like the script writing is just
so good.
And, um, just really,
really good above and beyond what you'd be
used to.
Um,
i don't even know what the hell to
talk about i did want to talk about
this um i told you like i love
to listen to the glintons but like their
start time is always always when it's
dinner time with my wife yep and i
don't take my phone to the table i
try to like unplug from everything and and
that is our half hour forty five minutes
to just be together sure right
and uh so last night i i flipped
it on saw that you had the jeremy
wi-fi again and they just got rid of
you where no where it cut off i
was getting onto the interstate and it
happens to me right there almost every day
Initially,
I jumped on and I jumped in the
wrong room because I just went back on
my phone and pulled up StreamYard and it
pulled up an old show.
And so I went on there and it
was like, the show has ended.
And I was like, no, it hasn't.
So I was sitting in a group and
I was like,
are y'all not going live?
And Garrett texted me back, he's like, oh,
we are live, dude.
So I went back and got in.
And normally what I would do is instead
of getting on interstate,
I would just take airlines,
different highway,
which has better service.
But yeah, I got up,
I was enjoying myself.
That's the best part about it is that
enjoying myself, you know,
cutting up with everybody and whatnot.
And then literally I got to the red
light and it just all through everybody's
screen went black.
And I was like, well, there that goes,
that sucks.
Well,
what I wanted to talk about is Joseph
and Meg were doing a rundown of all
of their weekend and week at the CrossFit
Games with the ranch.
They did the ranch tour.
All the people they met running into
Michelle LaTondra at Whole Foods.
Which is wild.
All the fun stuff, right?
And this happened when I was listening to
the Glintons last year on my way home
from Albany.
They were so excited about all the people
they meet.
I've lost that wonder.
Me, personally.
I have lost that wonder in all the
stuff that they've experienced.
I'm so jealous.
Sure.
How did I let it get away?
I'm thinking about all the people that...
I'm not here to humble brag or anything
like that.
I've worked really hard in this
in this thing to make something of this
podcast.
Sure.
And I've met a lot of people.
And I volunteered at Rogue to be a
part of their documentary team so I could
see what their media looks like on the
back end.
I worked at Morning Chalk Up for a
minute.
I did everything I could to learn as
much as I could about the thing.
And then they're talking about getting
Emily Rolfe's phone number.
And I'm like, oh, yeah,
I have that because...
we've been friends for a long time.
Yeah.
And I,
and I can't figure out like how to
reconnect to that.
Like, I love the sport.
I love watching everything on the floor,
but the wonder in the,
in the excitement of meeting all these
athletes.
And, and, and I wonder too,
that as I'm getting older,
I'm having a harder time connecting with
the up and coming athletes because they're
so young.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, Ty Jenkins is what, twenty?
Just as I mean,
he's been in the law since twenty one.
He's on seven this morning and someone was
like, so you're twenty.
And I went, holy smokes,
this kid's twenty.
He's been in the games twice.
I understand.
Same after judging many of them.
I don't really get starstruck.
I do get excited when I meet the
Masters athletes that I've become friends
with.
Like I had,
I do get that excitement in the masters
and Joseph even said like his knees
buckled with when he met the OGs of
the sport.
Right.
The Kristen Clevers, the, the Becca Voits,
all that.
Right.
And, and I can relate to them more,
you know, they're masters athletes.
I'm a masters athlete.
Um, it's hard for me to like,
try to find something I can relate to
with Sydney Smith.
she's younger than your daughter right
yeah i'm not putting anybody on a pedestal
i i i'm not trying to put anybody
but
I think it's more about how it translates
to what we do.
Like,
I want to be excited about the things
I, I do.
Yeah.
It's not that I'm putting them on a
pedestal.
I want to be excited to get to
know them.
And I think I'm having a hard time
figuring out what that connection is
anymore.
Like I just stopped doing interviews.
Like,
I've got to figure that out.
I think that is my goal in the
upcoming months is to figure out how to
get some excitement back.
I love doing this show every day.
I'm excited about doing this show every
day.
I'm excited about doing the Sunday show
with Carolyn and Jamie.
I mean, is it just to do it?
is it just to get back into it
and just schedule it and just the thing
that you're really good at every time you
introduce it is just having a straight up
conversation with people right you're not
asking them you know what's your favorite
color and you know how many grams of
protein did you eat a day and all
of that kind of stuff like you just
sit down and people feel like at home
with you i feel i feel like anyway
and it's it's a really easy conversation
so i
Maybe,
and this is just me talking out of
my ass here,
but maybe it's just that you schedule some
people.
Some people that you might find
interesting because the people that you
find interesting aren't necessarily the
people that everybody else finds
interesting most of the time.
You interview a whole lot of people for
different reasons.
Vera says, okay, I hear you.
Let's get back on track.
Let's get Gabby on the show and ask
her why she bailed on the games.
she uh she i'll get right on that
a very she texted me back last week
and she said she'll text me back next
week it's fine uh shannon wants to know
if i'm burned out i'm not burned out
like i was excited to meet to talk
to shanna yeah like she's in my chat
every day getting to see her made me
more excited than the elite individual
games things
Who I wanted to see the most were
my friends like Ariel and Emily and those
people that I've made connections with and
long-standing relationships with.
Yeah,
so I think maybe it's just a case
of finding some of the newer people
Learning a little bit about them and
deciding, yeah,
I want to know more about that person.
If something kind of grabs you and goes,
oh,
I didn't know that this person had
whatever this is going on,
maybe that would be interesting to talk to
them about.
Because otherwise,
it's going to just be the same recycled
type of stuff that everybody talks to
everybody about all the damn time.
So Joseph's comment, can you pull that up,
Vicky?
Would it be beneficial to maybe take a
step back and be a fan next year,
not having to worry about getting pissed,
pictures or video?
I can see how someone can get lost
in that.
So I don't know if you noticed, Joseph,
but I did not even bring my camera
to the arena on Sunday.
I was just about to say,
we talked about this yesterday.
You didn't actually do any of that.
You kind of sat down and was- So
I did do that on Friday.
I was trying to get pictures.
And then Ishmael was crushing it.
And I'm like,
you're an idiot trying to even match what
he's putting out there.
And so Sunday,
I really did just sit and watch.
And I did enjoy that a whole lot
more.
um well you get to be a fan
which is what you were in the first
place right you gotta go kind of go
back to it and like that's how any
any of us got started doing this just
i was a fan of the actual sport
you know methodology sport the whole nine
yards and to be able to sit down
and go
i'm not here to take pictures i'm not
here to get an interview from every single
person as they come off the floor i
am just here to enjoy the races i'm
just here to enjoy what these people are
doing that's got to be a whole thing
yeah and i love doing shows it's it's
i think the interview thing and
I'll be honest,
the back end of doing an interview sucks.
And Joseph and Meg can probably relate
because they do a lot of that for
the Glintons, the reaching out,
the scheduling,
trying to get it to fit in your
schedule and their schedule.
Yeah.
And let's be honest,
the athletes are not the best in getting
back to you.
No.
Right.
You're one thing that's on their list of
thirty things that they're working on.
Yeah.
And especially right now or leading up to
the games,
you probably weren't on their list of
things to do.
Right.
And I mean, not you in particular,
just like anybody who's reaching out was
probably not real high on their list of
things to do.
That's why I love doing the semifinal
athletes when it was organized and you
knew who was going where because they they
never get this opportunity.
They were excited to come on.
They got back to you right away.
Like those were good.
I don't know.
I didn't mean for today to be a
therapy session, but I thoroughly,
thoroughly enjoyed listening to Megan
Joseph talk about how awesome the games
were.
Yeah.
And to be fair,
they also got to go to the ranch.
They did.
Which, for me,
I would probably have some fanboy stuff
going on if I got to go, like,
holy smokes.
Like, you know, there's the hill.
When I saw the picture of Meg with
Pukie in the barn,
I want that picture of me.
And one of the things I wanted to
ask him about yesterday,
and I didn't get a chance to,
is that
I'm willing to bet you can feel the
history whenever you get over there.
Right.
Because like,
I'm sure Dave still got shit just
scribbled on whiteboards and, you know,
blocks of stuff still laid out and
whatnot.
And like,
If you just sit there and be still
enough,
you can probably feel the history just
kind of all around you because a lot
of crazy stuff go down to that place,
not just whenever they hosted games there,
but just from all the testing and the
other things that have gone on from over
there.
I would be willing to bet it's a
pretty good time.
Smell the old sweat in the barn,
says Shanna.
Yeah.
not ignoring your comment of era um i
love seth jump ship i think he's one
of the smartest uh most um he he
conveys a message much better than most
people seth is amazing right like i think
he's very articulate that's what i i
wanted to say very articulate in the way
he speaks and i would love to have
him on and chat with him at some
point yeah um
he's extremely articulate um he cuts he
pulls no punches whenever he says what's
on his mind he says what's on his
mind um I like that a whole hell
of a lot and I liked his work
with Nickelback but that was pretty good
too uh when he said when he still
had the haircut Ken and Walter says it
was the funnest games uh of the eight
he's been to but he got to do
so much extra stuff
he did i think he did the ranch
tour too and he got the vip package
to be able to go out on that
wednesday uh yeah i already uh talked
about that one vicky um uh joseph says
you can you get the chills when you
pull up and walk up to the barn
the one thing i don't ever want to
experience is running up that hill
would yeah but uh your running skills and
my running skills do not even come i
want to run i want to run up
the barn uh you know throw a wall
ball at the side of the you know
at the side of like maybe not um
you know maybe i do some of the
other insanely crazy stuff they did but i
would definitely want to run the hill
Just to see,
because everybody talks about how steep it
actually is.
Pictures and video don't do it justice,
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I get all of that,
but I would like to run it.
And by run it,
I mean probably walk most of it,
because it's... Yeah.
I did a warrior dash back in the
day here in Ohio at a ski resort.
And the first run was up the ski
slope.
Up the ski slope?
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, thank you.
No way to just take the wind out
of a big man's sails,
then make him run up a ski slope
to start a. To start.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
What are we going to do to begin?
Well, to begin,
we're going to go that way.
And then the whole time I'm up on
the top of this mountain going,
when do I get the downhill run?
Come on, man.
Yeah, for real.
I need gravity.
Yeah.
I think the original leaderboard was up,
all that kind of stuff.
Ed AI says,
my leg still burned from that hill.
I ran it in twenty three.
I don't know who you are, Ed AI,
but you seem to have done a lot
of cool things in this space.
One percent.
You'll change your mind once you see it.
I thought about all the athletes that have
run up and down this hill.
I still want to run it, too.
I still want to run it.
I think he's talking to me.
Oh.
I think he's saying, like,
when you see and you look up.
When you see it, you'll be like,
I can do that.
Yeah.
Big man uphill running is a recipe for
an EMT call.
Yeah.
That's fantastic.
I know Seth was on Barbell Spin last
night.
I saw that the CAC put out the
recommendations.
here's a thing that's i'm and i here
we go i'm going to be negative and
i don't want to be i love the
recommendations that they put out for the
elite athletes but there is not a thing
to help out the masters not not even
a not even a glimpse of a suggestion
not even a pat like in a passing
oh here we go not even something in
passing where it's like oh and by the
way um yeah it
it is such a show on the on
the on the master side right now with
a lot of things the season structure a
lot of stuff and i what season structure
and this will probably get clipped and and
hurt me in the long run but it's
fine jason grubb is the only masters
athlete representing on the the cac and he
doesn't represent most of the the masters
athletes he is one of the very few
masters athletes that are sponsored
He runs a massive programming camp that
is, it seems like,
half of the Masters competitors.
He's not in the same position as the
Corys and the Jamies,
like trying to struggle to pay their way
to an opponent.
Right.
Well, Carolyn just won first prize money,
right?
But she still has a job,
a career that she goes to and whatnot.
And I've heard her talk about having to
find time off and having to...
It's not even the same category, dude.
It's really, really not.
Shanna has said this a couple of times.
He does not represent me or my interests.
Same.
Right.
And so...
If that's your only representative on the
CAC because everybody knows his name,
it's not effective for the Masters.
Stands over here saying he's not the only
Masters athlete on the council.
Well, who's the other one then?
Because I'm super curious about that.
Because I asked that question,
and the name I was given was Jason
Grubb.
Yeah.
That's the only one I've known to have
been on it.
So if he's not the only one and
we have two men, okay.
Who's the other one?
Cause I really on,
I legitimately do not know.
Okay.
I love Becca Voigt Miller,
but she doesn't represent the majority of
the athletes either.
Like she's spent the games,
she's OG CrossFit.
Like, okay.
John Kim,
maybe that's a good representative.
I don't know.
It just seems like when you look at
the recommendations from the CAC,
the Masters are completely forgot about.
Well,
they didn't mention anything about it,
so how can anybody say that they haven't
been?
Is John Kim the dude that's on the
other Masters podcast,
the one that's prerecorded?
I don't think so.
I could be wrong.
I don't think so.
But yeah, okay, see,
what Mark's saying makes sense.
He's the only one that you hear
information about the CAG from.
As far as us is concerned, like, yes,
okay, Becca Voigt-Miller's on it.
John Kim's on it.
Cool.
Awesome.
I've never heard either of them say
anything about it on any one of their
platforms,
and I know I follow Becca Voigt-Miller.
Shana makes a point that no older athletes
are represented on the, on the CAC.
There you go.
Why not have a, Oh, what's his name?
Mr. Long hair, no mobility.
Gosh, darn it.
David Hippenstiel.
Hippenstiel.
Yeah.
But there's a lot of people out there
that don't have those names.
Like why not?
Why not?
Yeah.
She's a doctor.
Yeah.
Why not Denise Moore?
There's another one.
Yeah.
I agree.
And look, nothing against those people.
Whatsoever.
But like, out of the three,
there's only one you ever hear anything
about or as any sort of forward facing
thing about as far as our representation
on that thing.
And whether they like it or not,
we are athletes.
we are competing we are the ones pumping
all the money into this thing that the
elites just won because i really and i
know it's the term because it's the those
are the elites or whatever but shannon
bunce is elite denise moore is elite david
johnston is elite it is voted on it
is voted on so
You've got to vote for the people you
want on the on the CAC as well.
How do we even vote?
So there's the divisional representation.
Right there.
Three masters.
Three adaptive.
Think john kim is masters not adaptive.
Yeah, Kim Miller and Grubber, the masters.
Yeah.
I think the others are adaptive.
Anyway.
What else do I want to say?
I don't know.
We have t-shirts.
I started bagging some this morning.
probably get some out this afternoon
hopefully but there is the qr codes if
you'd like to order on venmo or cash
app they're thirty two dollars if you're
in the united states that includes
shipping and handling and they'll be
handled very nicely by the way it'd be
handled with care um gently folded and put
into the bag
so if you want to do that just
when you send me your venmo put your
name your address and your size in the
comments i did learn that cash app doesn't
have a big huge memo section so if
you're using cash app you can dm me
your name your size slide into the dms
and make sure that when you do that
that you identify the fact that you
already sent money via cash app
Yeah, I would say in Cash App, say,
see my DM for the information.
Because Mr. KDL used Cash App yesterday,
and he could not fit all of his
information into the memo section.
That's how we learned that yesterday.
So thank you, Kenneth DeLapp, for that,
for buying a shirt and helping me discover
the limitations.
Or make one dollar payment so you can
write a bunch,
get this man a reading again.
If it's not a book, it doesn't count,
Mark Phillips.
He reads comments all day long.
It's not the same thing.
You would have to write all your comments
on paper, bind them,
get them in a cover,
and then mail them to Scott's house so
he could read them like that.
um do you do we think the elites
get too much prize purse if so why
is that a problem outside of the reason
of it's not fair or we are the
ones pumping all the money in so do
i think the percentage that the elites get
comparison is out of line no because they
fill the seats they fill the arena that
is money revenue streams that the masters
are not getting two
My issue with the prize purse is it
is way too much for first in comparison
to the rest of the field.
Yes.
I think it needs to be a little
different across the rest of the...
The breakdown needs to make more sense.
Period.
Because it doesn't currently.
And as far as that's concerned, no.
I don't think that the fact that we
pay most of the money in there and
a lot of it goes to first place
on the men and women is a big
deal.
I think the fact that we pay most
of the money that goes into it and
a lot of the people I talk to
had a less than games feeling experience
over the weekend is where the problem
comes in.
Yeah,
where you had the lower bowl filled at
the SAP center, people were paying five,
six, eight hundred dollars,
ranch experiences,
VIP packages and another three hundred
dollars a day.
There was money coming in at the SAP
center for the elites.
Yeah.
It's just the first place Masters winner
makes more than the fifth place elite
individual games athlete.
Right.
Which is the first place,
which the dude who won first in forty
five forty nine is not going to take
fifth on overall.
Yeah.
And that's really only because I don't
know if you guys know this,
but the prize purse changes as you go
up in age.
Yeah, it does.
So that's a quote of the thirty-five to
thirty-nine-year-old division.
And that's what Mark's saying right there.
The Masters game should feel like a games
competition, not any old comp.
Agreed.
I think we've beat that horse to death.
I will continue to beat it until there's
no horse left.
Three hundred K even after taxes is
borderline life changing money to someone
who is good with their money.
One second and third got off.
One second and third after taxes is
absolutely all after all the sacrifice
made.
Maybe saying is that what's what second
and third place got after taxes compared
to what first place got after taxes and
whatnot.
Daniel, that is in fact true.
I would agree to that.
Having said that,
with it being in California this year,
the first place person,
even at that three hundred K,
didn't get anywhere near three hundred K.
Yeah, Carolyn.
Carolyn got hit pretty hard.
Yeah.
saw that speaking of which i did watch
the uh the sunday night show that turned
into the tuesday night show yesterday and
uh had a conversation with miss with miss
jamie latimer afterwards and sweet baby
was it too much and i said nope
not at all because all she said is
what the majority of us
matt competitive masters athletes were
thinking she just said it out loud and
she yelled it at her laptop whatever it's
fine he had to talk with her last
night too um one other thing speaking of
jamie and carolyn we did the donations for
them with the uh super chats
I did not announce.
You guys are freaking awesome.
The chat is awesome.
We raised four hundred eighty three
dollars for them.
I rounded that up to five hundred.
And they each got two fifty for their
trip to the games.
So I appreciate you all so much for
donating to that and helping the cause to
get them there.
We have the best viewers on the viewers
slash listeners.
Viewers slash listeners.
Did we talk about that live?
The person that you ran in that introduced
themselves to you that was only listening
and then watched an episode.
Did we talk about that live?
I talked about it on one of my
shows at the games.
Okay.
I didn't remember.
Joseph Ramirez says, Heel, yeah.
Heel, yeah.
The Chatterbytes.
um am i the only hit one here
it gives a about the rules um judy
reed says she'll do the same when corey
goes can you tell this so shana bunce
has given her games jersey she says she's
a friend hold on to a friend last
last year okay and
then that person who had been trying to
make the games made the games so this
year what happened corey she messaged me
earlier this week i'm asking for my
address because she's going to send me her
games jersey from twenty two on one of
her games jerseys from twenty two she said
you don't want the one from this year
i'm assuming that means it was all sweaty
still
She said she's going to try to get
it in the mail today,
as a matter of fact.
So when it gets to me,
I'm going to put it right up in
this area, mount it right up right there.
I'm touched over the moon.
I don't even know what to do about
that necessarily,
other than to mount it somewhere where
everybody can see it.
It made my heart happy.
um so meredith saying savon had james
hobart on hobart made it sound like uh
the masters was an amazing experience
meredith i heard it differently i heard
him say could i be critical could i
nitpick sure but at the end of the
day i had a good time competing i
love competing he loves competing
Period.
He's also in a position where he's not
going to be able to comment on it.
I was about to say that the famous
clip, I say famous clip,
my favorite clip of him whenever he was
on the Best Hour Guys and he said,
maybe I'm towing the party line here.
And we say, you know, CrossFit works,
that whole thing.
It's because he works for CrossFit.
It would not be in his best interest
to go on a podcast and be like,
oh, no, it was stupid.
Also,
he's got years upon years upon years of
CrossFit Games experience.
So for him to show up and like,
yeah, I mean, it was okay, whatever.
It's just another thing for him.
He says he turns off all the outside
stuff and just does the... Yeah.
the job in front of him that's how
he looks at it um yeah so so
he just knocks it out and does what
he does and i like to think that
when i get there i will do the
same thing like who gives a shit about
the rest of it i want to be
there because i want to be competing
against the best in the world will i
be able to i hope so got my
fingers crossed for that but we'll see
Hobart does not just go on a podcast.
He gets paid to be on a podcast.
He's been on this podcast and I didn't
pay him a dime.
Not in the least.
He's been on Glinton's a couple of times.
I can guarantee you Garrett and Colleen
did not slide him a twenty.
It was a fun interview too.
Really enjoyed it.
Hobart's great, dude.
I've never seen him on
anything where i was like this is stupid
and he shouldn't be on here when they
were doing the news on the seven podcast
like back in the day when you go
jump on a sunday night and they do
the news it was one of the funniest
things i i had seen at that time
it was great
I'll tell you about James Hobart.
First of all,
I met him when he was on the
Mayhem team when I was volunteering back
in the day in Central East, right?
But anyway, I had him on the podcast.
This is the kind of person James Hobart
is.
He comes on and he starts talking about
me and my background and my history.
He had done research on me coming on
my podcast where I was going to ask
him questions.
Okay, I love that.
I love that.
Yeah.
And that's the kind of dude he is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So there it is.
He's just a good dude.
Super, super smart.
I mean,
the dude was in law school before he
quit.
Which is...
Which if you've heard him,
if you heard him on any kind of
show,
like after you hear him talk a little
bit and realize how intelligent he is,
it tracks.
But then at the same time,
with some of the stuff that comes out
of his mouth, he's like,
and this dude was going to be a
lawyer.
Okie dokie.
Got it.
Tracking.
Makes sense.
Hobart is like one of our elder statesmen
in space.
He is.
Yeah.
Even though he's like,
he's been around a lot of shit.
You know, he's like forty one.
He already knows about himself.
You're more interesting.
That's how you feel when you're around
him.
And honestly, Rich does that same thing.
You're there to talk to Rich.
You want to meet Rich,
and then he starts asking you questions.
But yeah,
can you imagine being the parent of James
Hobart?
Kids in law school,
you're puffing the chest out.
Got my kid in law school,
and he says,
I want to quit and become a coach.
I'm going to become a coach of this
fitness thing that's going on and may or
may not be a good thing.
I'm not real sure.
That's outstanding, dude.
And made it work, right?
He's wildly successful at what he does,
still gets to compete,
still working for HQ.
Yeah, that's insane.
Averis says, okay,
let's get Hobart and Seth on the show.
We can solve all the problems in CrossFit
in one hour.
So get Mark Phillips up there.
Get John Gleish on.
For those who don't know who John Gleish
is,
john glyce is in my my age group
okay um he's got his own uh youtube
channel mf mustache uh because he's got a
big curly handlebar fancy mustache or
whatnot john we i was talking to him
this weekend and we were talking somebody
else john is probably the fittest dude
this master's athlete i know of anyway
who's never made the games yet
um he's a good dude he is an
excellent human being humble as the day is
long um and i was laughing uh so
there's the the twenty the twenty sixteen
and twenty seventeen documentary when
they're talking to pat uh about matt
fraser and pat goes he's so frustrating
john john gleiss is
that frustrating because i beat him in
every online qualifier that i've ever done
that he's also signed up for by like
two or three spots and he's beaten the
breaks off of me in every competition
we've ever actually been in live i would
love to have john john on here and
i'm sure he'd love to be on here
uh david johnson says i act i asked
him it's actually pronounced like like
mike but that's not as fun to say
it's not as fun to say and i'm
aware of the fact that i'm aware of
the fact of how it's actually pronounced
but i don't think anybody actually does
that and that's on purpose like john
gleish wears galoshes is way much more fun
to say than yes yes he is an
absolute animal it is it's wild
He looked the hundred fifty meter swim
over the weekend at Monster Games.
He side stroked the entire thing and
finished with ten seconds left.
Head out the water the whole time.
Is what it is, man.
Bro, it's it's it's bananas anyway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We've been at this for forty five minutes
already.
Holy cow.
Yeah.
And I haven't really said anything.
We could get David Johnson on the show
if we needed to.
But I did run into your buddy Brandon
in at the Masters games.
Oh, I like it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And he came up and introduced himself to
me, which is still weird in my world.
And I've had him on the show before.
But I said, you know,
you need to come on.
And he said, oh,
I'd love to come on and have fun
with you and Corey.
Yeah.
I said, but let's be honest.
Like, how much does Corey bug you?
Like, is it every day?
Is it twice a day?
Right.
Is it four times a day?
I'm so curious as to this answer.
Yeah.
he just started laughing yeah that's all
like he didn't even answer the question no
uh i will i'll answer it for you
several times a week put it to you
like that several times a week is usually
is usually and it's usually behind
something either ridiculously silly or uh
or actually legit a legitimate question
fifty fifty shot and he's aware of that
so
uh joe valens in the chat uh didn't
get to see him at the games he's
one of my favorite people to to bump
into i know he was out there killing
it uh but didn't get to see it
yeah
Mark Phillips saying that you probably ask
Brandon, is this doable?
Are you sure this is doable?
Here's the thing is that I'll tell him
what I'm going to do as opposed to
what he actually wrote.
I usually get a really or no,
that's probably a good idea.
Depending on what it is.
But I did ask him to be on
the show and I said that you would
reach out to him to schedule a time.
Oh, okay.
So I put that on you.
Yeah, let's do it.
I'm glad you told me about that live.
Yeah.
So now the pressure's on.
No pressure.
I will get it and I'll take care
of it.
Not a big deal.
Yeah, I don't know if you know this,
but we have company meetings live on the
air.
That way I can kill two birds with
one stone.
This is actually why we got Vicky in
the back so that we can do this
live and not have to worry about doing
it later.
Right.
Exactly.
So...
Yeah.
I was going to talk about James Sprague's
legacy.
You know, we've, we've looked at,
but I don't know if we have enough
time to get into it a bunch,
but I'll,
I'll let's just tease it for tomorrow.
Okay.
So in the history of CrossFit,
if you're a multi games winner,
your legacy is kind of cemented as one
of the greats.
Sure.
But as CrossFit gets older and older and
older is, is two enough, right?
Do we put James Sprague in Justin
Medeiros' basket?
Do we put James Sprague in Rich's basket?
Do we put him in Matt's basket?
Or are we getting to an age of
the sport where two may not be enough?
And where I come up with this is
we're getting into football season.
It used to be if you won two
Super Bowls, like you were Hall of Famer,
No doubt about it, right?
Eli Manning won two Super Bowls,
can't even get into the Hall of Fame
now.
Which is bananas crazy, by the way.
Right, so like, so do we,
has he cemented a legacy,
is my question to you all, yet?
Or does he have to put together,
because he has three podium finishes.
Yeah, he does, in consecutive years.
Three consecutive years,
three consecutive podiums,
two championships.
Man, I like that.
I think the test this year was by
far the most complete,
placing him higher than Medeiros.
Yeah, but help incentive,
the test all would have been worth a
hundred points.
That one would have won.
I'm sorry, I can't help myself.
And if this microphone was made of ice
cream,
I wouldn't have anything to talk into.
Thank you.
Oh.
Tessa's saying he will if he wins Rogue.
Do we factor in Rogue on Legacy?
That's the question I was going to ask.
Do you need to factor in Rogue?
These are all the things I want you
to do some homework tonight on and come
back tomorrow,
and we'll have this lengthier
conversation.
Because maybe James has cemented his
legacy,
but does it diminish Medeiros' legacy?
Does Justin have to do more?
I think people still are expecting Justin
to do more because he won two in
a row.
He looked really good this weekend.
He did.
And it wasn't enough to get on the
podium.
uh fergie says i think spreger showed he
can go heavy and fast so he is
the total package now
so uh i'm not a i'm not i
don't buy into the jy thing because he
went all in on austin hatfield and austin
hatfield hadn't showed shit ain't did much
so i was telling the people i don't
know what those words mean no you don't
even follow him yourself i would i i
He's another one that's frustrating
because he could finish on the podium or
he could finish thirtieth.
There's no shot.
Can he finish on the podium?
Because I haven't seen that.
He hasn't proved that to me.
Capability of finishing top five podium,
whatever you want to call it.
But also seventeenth.
Had to get out his own way.
Yes, thank you.
He's not better than James.
He's not better than Hopper.
He's not better than Dallin.
He's not better than Jay Crouch.
No.
He's not better than Medeiros at this
point.
No, and I wouldn't have seen that coming.
Hell, he's not even better than Colton.
I would not be shocked if Austin Hatfield
never hits the top ten again.
I'm not saying he won't.
I'm saying I wouldn't be shocked.
Yeah, I would agree to that.
I'd have agreed to that going in.
I think Hatfield has the tools.
He just struggles to execute.
Yeah, I agree on that one.
That's sports.
Jeff George was drafted number one overall
in the NFL.
Had the strongest arm,
had the physical body to take hits and
do all the things,
and was a complete flop because he was
a head case.
Because he was a head case, yeah.
Speaking of Colton,
did we know he could fly before this
weekend,
or is that just something that's brand
new?
Dude, if that's me,
that picture's getting blown up.
Is it?
It's going along the whole back wall.
That would be my whole backdrop.
Oh, yes, indeed.
Yes, indeed.
That is maybe top five pictures of all
time.
Yeah.
That goes right up there with Kalipa,
Rich,
and was it Matt Chan shirtless at the
pool?
Yeah,
I told my buddy Jason Vines when we
were at, before we left,
like two weeks before we had to leave
to go to Monster Games and said, hey,
you know that picture of Rich Kalipa and
Matt?
I said,
we need to recreate that while he's at
the pool.
He's like, yeah, we're not doing that.
It was Bobby or like, yeah,
I think for you and I are the
only ones that even know what that
reference is.
Dude,
there's been several like that that come
out of college and was like number one,
number two, number three draft pick,
and everybody's all excited and whatnot,
and then they just disappear.
Can you go back to the John George
one real quick?
When Hogs Fly poster.
Well, you know, like,
so there used to be a rogue poster,
but my boy Jeff still has it, of,
like, Rich doing the split jerk.
Or maybe in the walking lunge, he's got,
like, four hundred pounds over his head,
had the full Rich bandana and whatnot.
That would be a fantastic rogue poster of
just him just stretched out.
I believe I can fly.
Like,
reaching out for that freaking button,
dude.
That is outstanding.
If Vindicate doesn't design a shirt with
that image, big loss.
Yeah, I agree.
Get on it, Travis.
Get on it, Travis.
I haven't seen this.
Can you pull it up?
Not right now.
We'll have it tomorrow.
i'll take these on david vicky's on it
yeah biggie's on if she can't find it
next two minutes i'll text it to you
david not a big deal jake uh that
rich poster has so many so much history
sunglasses on gymnastics tape made into
grips glad mark knows what i'm talking
about just like right off the bat dude
that's a fantastic picture if you've been
around the sport you know that yeah
I was so into the Rich Froning thing
when I first started CrossFit.
I had the bandana.
I had the necklace thing,
whatever they were called.
The puka shell, baby.
No, not puka shell.
I was version two, the braided... Oh,
the braided hemp.
And...
I had the Rogue board shorts,
the whole bit, right?
The big Terminator.
And I wanted the...
They were like sunglasses that they sold
at the games and sponsored the games,
but they were made of metal.
Like,
even the lenses were this super thin
metal.
And I wanted them so bad.
But they were, like, so expensive.
Yeah.
Because they gave them to all the athletes
when they went to the games, and so...
Gator.
They were called Gator.
Gator glasses.
Yeah.
Everybody knows.
If you've been around that long,
you know all of that.
Jake, I was into Maddox, dude.
No, Neil Maddox.
Neil Maddox almost turned me gay, dude.
The handsome man.
Quite a handsome man.
Bacon burger meat log.
I have the poster.
That poster never opened in my attic going
up in my new garage gym when it's
done.
I have about twenty old posters I bought
off the CrossFit site eight years ago on
clearance.
Those may be worth like three dollars each
now.
Entirely possible.
Careful there, John.
Don't tear them.
Don't tell Ken Walters.
He'll find a way to get them graded.
Ken Walters asked you earlier if he could
find a way to pay for the shirts
with Bears trading cards.
I didn't see that.
I used to own every Bears trading card
I ever wanted and I sold them all
off to buy a camera for this gig.
Right.
um mr david johnson oh gosh neil's been
my coach for the last six years he's
so intense like he could punch you at
any moment that's part of the charm it's
the danger i forgot david had told me
that neil was was in fact his coach
Elizabeth Akinwale, yeah,
she looked like she could punch you at
any moment as well.
Dude, I follow her on Instagram.
She still looks like she's ready to rock
and roll,
like she would go ahead and drop you
just for looking at her sideways.
There are people that when you meet them
in person, she is so striking in person.
She is drop-dead gorgeous in person.
Drop-dead gorgeous.
I have no doubt about that.
All right.
With that, we're just brambling now.
Yeah, she still could.
Yeah.
No, I believe that.
With that,
hope you guys have a great rest of
your day.
We'll be back tomorrow.
We'll talk about legacy.
What does it mean for those two-time
winners?
Flying pigs.
Flying pigs.
Does two times mean more on the women's
side than on the men's side?
All that and more tomorrow on Lunch with
the Clydesdale.
You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
room to jazz me up.
I'm already jazzy.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we covered it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale Cowboy in the
heat.
CrossFit movies, music on repeat.
