What is Clydesdale Media Podcast?

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.

Well,

Penn State is the biggest embarrassment in

college football now.

Let's talk about that next.

I love the chase and the hunt and

I set the pace when I'm running.

I always take what I want and I

always give it one hundred.

Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.

Play the game like it's nothing.

I'm always thankful for something.

Don't take for granted, stay humble.

Now wake up!

It's time to look at the enemy.

Look in the mirror if he is no

friend to me.

It's not working out,

maybe it's the chemistry.

It's time to break up so I can

make a better me.

It is lunch time!

still need to record that green olive so

we're here it's lunchtime uh yesterday we

tried to stay on the air as long

as we could to see the announcement they

made it go so long we had to

get back to work shout out chase and

uh so anyway uh yes yes jay birchett

is rudy on the thumbnail oh

yes um i sent it to lynette the

of rudy as a superhero and she loved

it and got it got to have a

nice conversation with lynette this

morning so that's always a good thing good

people um where do i want to start

today

I want to start with,

if you guys didn't see,

our very own Kat is back.

She has uploaded a status video,

a get ready with me video,

I think is what the kids are calling

it.

That is what it is.

I watched it yesterday.

and to update everybody about where she is

in her relationship stuff again.

So looks like she's back and we'll

probably be doing some shows,

but you know what,

what kills me is now that I have

her video has been uploaded.

We, we uploaded some stuff to Instagram.

Now Lauren Khalil pops up in my algorithm.

Why does that have to happen?

Those two things are not the same.

They're not.

They're just not.

That's funny though.

I know they both have done relationship as

shows.

Right.

But that's about where it's,

and they both do CrossFit.

That's about where it stops.

Yeah.

So now I'm getting all the Lauren Khalil

videos.

Awesome to see her again.

Hey, Lauren, how you doing?

Bye, Lauren.

Yeah, pop back right up.

Now that I've loaded all those up,

it's weird how Instagram works.

The algorithm is something else, dude.

Before we dive into the big news,

I was watching The Spin last night,

and I have to have this conversation with

you.

You never know what's going to get me

fired up watching that show.

That's a fact.

Is it the banter?

Is it what they said?

And...

They were talking last night.

Someone in the chat compared the spin,

or Brian's spin, to Ray Barone.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

For people who don't know who Ray Barone

is,

he is the character that Ray Romano plays

on Everybody Loves Raymond.

Yeah, that was... Buford did that.

Well,

it's not pertinent to the argument that I

have going on.

Gotcha.

And then...

john went off about why would you ever

use the character just say ray romano well

i can see that in that specific case

because ray romano the person and ray

barone the character are pretty damn

similar right very close yeah but when

you're using analogies or comparisons with

people it is very dependent sometimes on

the character that that person is playing

So they tried to use Brad Pitt,

and I believe his character from Fight

Club.

No, it was... Oh,

it would have come to me in a

minute.

It wasn't Tyler Durden.

It was somebody else.

It was another Brad Pitt character.

Oh, from Inglourious Bastards.

Okay,

so that makes my point exactly right.

Brad Pitt plays a completely different

character in Inglourious Bastards that he

does in Fight Club.

And using the character name could be

pertinent to the comparison or the story.

That is correct.

Yes, Alderaan.

Alderaan, yes.

Yes.

So them saying that you should use the

real person name instead of the character

name,

it is all dependent on the story you're

telling and what imagery you want to put

in the audience's mind.

Absolutely.

Right.

Aldo Rain is not Brad Pitt.

Brad Pitt plays Aldo Rain,

but Brad Pitt is Brad Pitt and Aldo

Rain is Aldo Rain.

Right.

Brad Pitt in Inglourious Basterds and Brad

Pitt in Fight Club and Brad Pitt in

Ocean's Eleven are completely different

characters.

And depending on the imagery that you want

to portray,

you're going to go with the character that

best suits that story.

On a tangent of that,

Brad Pitt as Rusty in Ocean's Eleven is

one of my favorite Brad Pitt characters

ever.

I just like, I love that.

He's always eating a sandwich.

He's always eating something.

Right.

Every time he comes on camera, he's got,

he's, it doesn't matter what it is.

It's fantastic.

Uh,

Mickey from the snatch is my spirit

animal.

You like dags.

Um,

Yeah,

so Jay Burch used the character name.

Sometimes you want the story is the

person, and then it fits, right?

But generally,

when you're telling a story and you're

trying to get imagery,

you go with the character name.

That's what I would do.

I mean, if I'm talking about, oh, Lord,

if we stay on the Brad Pitt thing,

like if I'm talking about Rusty,

I'm talking about Rusty,

I'm not talking about Brad Pitt.

comparing somebody to that and i'm

comparing them to that character to what

he did not to actual brad pitt because

first of all i don't know about brad

pitt i know a whole lot about rusty

i know a whole lot about aldo rain

i know a whole lot about tyler durden

but i don't know much about brad pitt

except that he was married to angelina

jolie for quite some time and he built

some houses and he built some houses in

new orleans after katrina

That's about where it starts and stops.

Maybe in my top five movies of all

time.

Dude.

There are so many little intricacies in

that that tell what really happened when

you go back and watch it the second

time.

I've probably seen it twenty times.

When I had cable,

every time it was on, I stopped.

Why do they always paint hallways that

colorful?

They say Tope is very soothing.

And Casey Affleck and...

The characters in that are so...

Don Cheadle's character is so unique.

Scott Kahn and Casey Affleck are freaking

insane.

The whole thing,

every bit character adds depth and color

to that movie.

A hundred percent.

So anyway,

I just had to get that off my

chest.

No, I'm with you.

One hundred percent.

Yeah.

And we always dive into that kind of

stuff.

And so that's why I wanted to talk

to it, uh, with you.

Let me just make sense.

Oh, Tom Hagen.

Yep.

Tom Hagen is very different from Gus

McCray.

It's very different from, uh,

I don't even remember what his name was

in days of thunder,

but it's one of my favorite movies too.

I don't know who that is, man.

Oh yeah, you do.

Is it Robert Duvall or is it Robert

Duvall?

Okay.

Yeah.

Robert Duvall is awesome.

His character in days of thunder is

freaking amazing.

And can't come in right now.

What?

Why not?

We're, uh,

Eating ice cream.

We still, to this day, I tell people,

look, if you give me an honest run,

I guarantee you, I'm going to beat you.

I say that coaching.

I use that when I'm coaching sometimes.

You do this workout your way and you

do it my way and I guarantee you,

I'm going to beat you.

Every single time.

Yeah, it's funny.

The first time I ever did Grace RX,

I was just starting CrossFit.

I thought, I can clean and jerk.

And the coach is like,

you really should scale this.

To get the stimulus we're looking for,

you need to scale this.

I'm like, yeah, but I can do this.

And I was very argumentative,

and I'm generally not that way.

And the coach is like, okay,

let's see how this goes.

Basically, like, you do it your way,

and then when you're done,

we'll talk about it,

and then you're going to end up doing

it my way.

And, uh, uh, uh, seventeen minutes later,

after many fails,

I was not ready for Rx.

As it turns out,

I probably should have listened.

Yeah,

Coach kind of knew what he was talking

about.

Yeah.

Harry Hall, yep.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, Vicky joined,

so now we can talk about the real

stuff.

Oh, thank God.

We were waiting for her to get here.

Yeah.

It's hard to hold it for so long.

But she finally made it.

I'm glad.

So there was a big announcement yesterday,

and that is that the age groups and

adaptive athletes are going to be

competing in San Jose the week of the

CrossFit Games.

At roughly the same time as he is.

So the Masters are going to have their

own show for three days, Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday,

the week of the CrossFit Games.

They will be at the convention center?

Yes.

It is the, I have it here,

the McHenry Convention Center in San Jose,

California.

It is, according to Amanda Harry,

who lives in that area,

it is eight-tenths of a mile from the

SAP Center.

Oh, okay.

Right down the street.

Yeah, so less than a mile.

We're all CrossFitters.

We can walk eight-tenths of a mile.

Pretty sure.

Um, with that,

then comes Friday and then the teens,

the adaptive and the elite are all going

to go on those three weeks.

I missed that part of it yesterday.

Okay.

That's different.

So there's been confusion because when

Heather Lawrence was saying it on the

podcast,

it merged and sounded and Barbell Spin

reported that they're all going to be at

the SAP Center.

I don't think that's physically possible.

No, I'm going to tell you, Nate.

Because the biggest beef with the adaptive

being at the games was their floor setup

has to be completely different than the

elite athletes because of the wheelchairs

and the different equipment they have to

get on the floor.

Just accommodations, right?

To make the accommodations for them being

on the floor.

Yeah, absolutely.

Right.

So my guess is that the teens and

the adapters will be at the convention

center going simultaneously while the

elites are going on at the SAP center.

That makes the most sense to me.

Yeah.

I mean,

I don't see why they would have it.

They're not going to do it opposite way.

Right.

They're not going to swap out.

Yeah.

Right.

The elites go into the convention center,

so yeah, that makes the most sense.

I do think it's interesting and point for

us old athletes that Orange is going to

be completely separate as far as time

domain is concerned, right?

Like,

there's not going to be anything else

going on.

You want to watch the Masters?

You can go and just watch the Masters

while it's happening.

I think that's pretty cool.

And I'm assuming that for

The reason they do it like they did

is because everything's going to be at

that place, the convention center.

So you want to watch the teams and

adapters?

Okay, cool.

You're going to have to make a choice.

Andrew Sten,

I've been told other divisions might do

one or two events at the SAP center.

What I could see is like highlighting some

of the divisions,

like say the thirty five to thirty nine,

the forty to forty four go to the

SAP center to do one event.

The teens, it's only four divisions.

Have them go do an event at the

SAP Center.

Adaptive.

There's no way you're getting sixteen

different divisions to go to the SAP

Center to do an event.

It would have to be a highlight of

lower extremity, blah, blah, blah,

upper extremity, blah, blah, blah.

It would have to be a pick a

thing.

Like, okay,

we're going to showcase these guys right

here.

Like I said,

God bless them for all of that,

that separate program and doing that.

The more you think about that stuff,

the more you think about it.

You've got to write all the same.

Yep.

I mean,

if you've watched the last couple of

years, it, they've done a great job.

Like Bill Grundler kills that as,

as sitting there all day through all those

divisions and,

And all of the different setups with the

rowers, the setups with the bikes,

the setups,

and how they have to do all that.

It's insanity.

And that's why this can't happen,

Jonathan.

They can't flip-flop back and forth.

In Madison,

they only allowed five of the divisions of

adaptive athletes to show up at Madison

because that's what could work on the

floor at the same time.

None of the wheelchair divisions got to go

because it's just too much to set up

and tear down.

Where if you have the convention centers,

if you've been to the age group games

in the last couple of years,

they have multiple floors.

They can have an adaptive dedicated floor

that switches in and out and a teen

floor that is just a straight setup.

From what you said last year right there

by your house,

they could have did

they could have had the adapters in there

as well.

Cause there was enough room in that place,

right?

In Columbus,

they could have had everything.

There was so much unused space in the,

in what they had last year.

Um,

which is insane because the crowds around

the floors were so big.

You could,

you couldn't even get like a sightline at

times.

Um,

So I hope those crowds remain and maybe

grow in San Jose because people will go

for both now instead of having to pick

between the two.

Two different trips is too much to ask

for a CrossFit fan.

But if you're all going to the same

place at the same time,

people will go watch both.

And the smart part about this is that

big masters group are fans of CrossFit,

and when they are done competing,

they're going to move over and watch the

elites.

And then your crowds are going to get

bigger.

Yeah, absolutely.

I like what Vicky says right there.

While elites are at the ranch on Thursday,

Masters can use SAP.

What's hard to tell, though, Vicky,

is the dates of the CrossFit Games still

for the elites are just the Friday,

Saturday, Sunday.

They are, but Dave Castro did say that,

yes, those are the hard dates,

but we can work with that.

Right.

But you don't know if they have access,

how much access they have to the SAP

center to set up for that weekend.

And do they have time to get it

done to bring in the masters on Thursday?

Right.

I understand that.

Jar Jar loves CrossFit.

Those are the dates for the SAP Center.

Vicky is saying bringing the Masters

athletes in on Thursday.

That is for the SAP Center.

We don't know what kind of logistics all

of that is.

It's just for the final.

That's what I would think.

You have most of the stuff over here,

and then for the final,

you get to go back on the floor

where the elites are going to be the

following day.

Uh, Jake says,

I don't see anyone can find negatives

here, but I'm sure they will.

Absolutely.

They will.

You can bet people.

If there's a chance, right here,

last year,

I got to sleep in my own bed

and go to the age group CrossFit games.

Now I don't get to sleep in my

own bed.

And it's all about me.

Not only do you not have to sleep,

can't sleep in your own bed.

You need to, uh, extend your stay.

reschedule your flights so you can catch

the Masters before they leave.

Well, I haven't made flights yet,

but I do have a hotel,

but it starts on Wednesday.

Now I'm going to have to back it

up.

Crying shades.

Was Spin saying the Vendor Village would

be hard to get to again?

I didn't watch all of the Spin last

night.

I was so tired.

I don't know.

I'm assuming...

I don't know.

If I'm CrossFit,

I put the vendor village in the convention

center.

I probably have enough room to really ramp

it up.

I have that space already using it for

adaptives and age group and masters.

Just go ahead and set up the vendor

village there.

It's eight tenths of a mile.

Eight tenths of a mile.

Jake tells me you poor thing.

I know.

You poor baby.

You can't sleep in your own bed.

I know.

It's all about me.

Um,

I didn't know they'd be doing something

Thursday, not open to the public.

I completely agree with all of those

assessments that there will be probably

something at the ranch on Thursday,

but it doesn't mean that it opens up

the SAP center on that day.

The SAP center is scheduled from Friday to

Sunday.

There has to be a lot of setup

done and we don't know how much in

advance they have to set up that location.

Okay.

Those are logistics we don't know and

can't know at this point.

Heather Lawrence probably knows.

Dave Castro probably knows.

But we don't at this time.

I'd say it's a safe bet Dave probably

knows.

But you might get better cred, Scott.

Well, it's still run by legends.

The master's piece is still run by

legends.

I don't have a great relationship with

them.

I thought I had built one.

Apparently it didn't happen.

But I have a great relationship with

CrossFit right now.

If they remain in charge,

I'm confident I'll get good creds for

that.

I don't know.

That's the other piece, right?

It's Masters by Legends, Teens by Pit,

Adaptive by Wheelwod.

The three organizations that have been

running those three events are still

running those events,

meaning programming is probably going to

be done by them,

meaning that the setup is going to be

done by them.

But I don't know how it's all going

to work from like a revenue stream of

sponsorships, attire,

all of that stuff all being done in

the same location.

larry young i'm like this is pretty good

trying not to nitpick it yeah yeah

honestly i don't really i've wanted the

festival feel again i think that's

important at this state of where crossfit

is today you need all of those people

there to make it look busy to have

the crowds come in

Um, I, you know,

speaking to masters athletes,

they always love when they're with the

elites at the same place at the same

time.

So I know the athletes love it from

a, a media perspective.

It's one trip for us instead of several.

Um, so yeah,

I really don't see much of a downside

at all.

The festival field thing, dude,

so now it starts on Tuesday and runs

all the way through the weekend.

And there's something going on every day.

Masters events.

Once you get the weekend,

there's the wheel lot and there's the

teams and then the elites are going.

There's something happening every single

day.

It's going to keep people engaged.

People that get there early that want to

just hang out in San Jose,

they can go and it's going to be

good for the town.

It's going to be good for, you know,

this is a big thing, dude,

that's last pretty much an entire week.

I don't see much of a downside, really,

at all.

Can we start a betting pool?

Will there be something at the ranch or

not?

The odds on that are so in the

favor of it happening.

I don't know who would take the other

side of the bet.

It'd be a good heat one bet.

Oh,

there's people out there that would take

that bet.

Larry,

because your show hammers the shit out of

their programming.

listen i refrain from from hammering them

until i got screwed this year with access

i got i got them things that they

didn't have before because i live here i

got them contacts with people to help save

them money and none of that was received

with any kind of scratch my back scratch

your back um

So yeah, I'm bitter about it,

and I'll admit it.

And so my take on what they've done

has that as a bias.

I'm going to say it.

It's my bias.

But our show's not the only one that

hammers the hell out of their programming.

Go to anybody else and they hammer the

hell out of their programming.

Go ask Bill and Chase about it.

Jake,

they should have a live music stage with

no country music whatsoever.

Just EDM and whatever Dave listens to.

I would be shocked to learn that Dave

actually listens to music on a regular

basis.

He just doesn't seem like the type.

He's a big Post Malone fan.

He's admitted it.

Get out of here.

Really?

And he actually knows Post Malone.

Post Malone seems like one of the kindest

dudes on the face of the planet.

Meredith says,

Sharpie in regard to an event at the

ranch.

I love that you pull our game show

over.

Frida says,

both ranch and a beach would be a

better bet.

Not going to the beach.

No way are they doing an ocean swim.

Not happening.

Not getting anywhere closer to the water

than however far the SAP Center is away

from the water.

Not this year.

Larry, it's not because it's heavy.

It's because it has no gymnastics at all.

And I talked to Boz at the games

last year, the age group games and said,

you don't even have a gymnastics event

until event seven.

And then event nine is after the cut.

So you have two gymnastics events and one

half the field doesn't even get to do.

That was my biggest complaint about their

programming.

Not that it was heavy.

You're quoting Jamie, not me.

Which to be fair,

Jamie's going to complain about no matter

what it is, about she can't do it.

She goes out and smashes whatever it is.

So that's just her nature.

Dave listens to screaming men in his

headphones.

Dave is the father of a teenage girl.

I was the father of a teenage girl.

I am telling you that that takes over

your playlist completely.

I still have all my Spotify daddy-daughter

mix.

I have an entire playlist online just

called Jameson's Playlist because it's

stuff that I put on whenever she's in

the car with me.

And that daddy-daughter play mix is just

songs we both agree on.

Yeah.

It was like, okay,

we can both tolerate this one.

We can both tolerate that one.

Oh, dude.

She got a hold to it and started

adding like,

or I say started,

added some ridiculous amount of Taylor

Swift songs without telling me or asking

me rather.

And like,

I went to put it on one day

and like some Taylor Swift song came

around.

Whoa, what is this?

She started laughing.

She's in the backseat.

I said, what is happening right now?

And I skipped it and another one came

on.

So if you know,

if you've got that thing on random and

you skip and the same artist comes back

up, there's a lot of that on there.

Oh yeah.

I started scrolling through.

I was like, bro, what did you do?

She's like, Daddy,

put some Taylor Swift on there.

I'm like, this is not some, bro.

This looks like all of it,

but we're not doing that.

The entire era's tour on that?

More or less, yeah.

More or less.

There's a ridiculous amount of it.

Way more than I am prepared to listen

to.

I put it to you like that.

Post used to come shooting with my old

boss.

That's cool.

I like Spicy Scott.

I've been a lot like, yeah,

this show allows me to be more spicy

and I, and I love it.

I love that.

I have the freedom to just be that

way.

Uh, they did have ring muscle ups though.

Okay.

They also, yeah, I don't read,

I don't want to rehash the age group

games.

My kids listen to Korn and Sleep Token.

That's a wild combination of things,

by the way,

because I don't think Korn's put out a

new album in freaking twenty years.

Yeah.

The one of kind of my era stuff,

she liked Linkin Park and she liked

Shinedown.

So I got into our playlist together.

i can't work with that a lot of

it then i also have like jonas brothers

and gosh i don't even know who else

anymore i had to put i say had

to i put some stuff on there that

i knew she was like put some stuff

on there that she discovered that she

liked then i had to put some stuff

on there that she asked me to which

was like the duck song and i don't

know

Some other like straight up kid stuff.

I mean,

she was seven at the time when I

made it.

My kids were raised on Green Day.

I like some Green Day.

The first album, or say the first album,

Dookie was fantastic.

If you could have worn out a CD.

Dookie to American Idiot, I like.

Post-American Idiot, I'm a little bit.

Nice, Dookie.

I was lucky my daughter was predominantly

into old school artists like Queen and Tom

Petty.

Thank God.

My daughter got into Queen when we were

collecting.

So we both collect vinyl.

And she has the whole Queen collection.

Nice.

And I don't have any Queen because it's

too damn expensive for me to pay for

it.

You can't ever find it used because it's

hard to get.

She was going to work over it.

People that have it aren't selling it.

They ain't coming up off of it.

No.

How about Greg Glassman yesterday dogging

all of my favorite groups from high

school?

Saying that twenty four hour fitness

crunch fitness were like Journey,

Sticks and Boston.

All the same.

And of course,

vinyl of all three of those bands.

First of all,

Sticks is not like either one of those

two.

I'll give him Journey and Boston being

similar, but Sticks,

that's a whole progressive rock thing

going on.

That's a whole different type of... Yeah.

Greg wasn't lying, and I love those bands.

Same, same, Scott.

David Reed to Vicky,

that's called Solid Parenting.

Kids only know what you teach them until

they leave your house and get exposed to

other stuff.

Once they get friends that are like,

you should listen to this,

then it's all downhill.

But if you start them young,

listening to the stuff that is good that

you want them to listen to,

that's what they're going to know.

Yeah.

Good parenting.

A hundred percent.

Solid parenting.

Welcome.

I don't even know whether to put this

up or not.

You have to read it if you do,

because it took me a second.

Freddie Mercury's Russian husband was

called Love to Suck Him Off.

That's it.

Vicky, haha.

Yeah,

it led to discovering the Beatles and so

much more on her own.

my daughter loved the beatles but my

daughter like we've talked about this on

the show she was saxophone flute player um

she learned taught herself ukulele

keyboards we went through i went and saw

a cover band called that was just straight

up beatles stuff and they did like maybe

they had a couple of different admissions

and they come back out dressed as like

they started off you know with the

bowl cuts and whatnot.

And then they would come out and they

ended up with like Sergeant Pepper stuff.

It was phenomenal.

It was one of the best still to

this day,

one of the best shows I've ever seen.

And I was like,

reminded me of how much I actually like

this Beatles music is pretty cool.

Then I saw, uh, across the universe,

which is a musical.
