Grab a plate, tune in now,

you part of the fam.

what is going on everybody welcome to

lunch with the clydesdale glad you all

could be here today we got lito we

got vicky we got jason born jesus christ

is jason born got meredith got jody dang

speak speaking of amanda we got something

on yesterday's show okay

i had to share yes please and it

all centered around something very very

important and that is the fig newton oh

i'm all ears so uh the first comment

is corey's hard stance on fig newton had

me dying worth noting i have a massive

fig tree and fig newtons are incredibly

difficult to make

They come up more like fig turnovers,

which are ten thousand percent better than

a fig Newton.

If the fig Newton is improved by ten

thousand percent,

is it something edible for Corey?

Yeah,

I'm going to go ahead and I'm going

to go in.

My grandmother used to have a fig tree

as well, and I would eat figs.

Like by themselves,

I just think it makes no sense as

a cookie.

It's not a cookie.

Ramirez has, look, there it is.

Well, that was my next comment.

I didn't want to jump to that yet.

I wanted to give Amanda her time.

Yeah, no, absolutely.

She is, she is,

she is one hundred percent correct.

Yes.

I love a Fig Newton.

It doesn't need to be improved.

It is perfect.

And it is an amazing cookie.

Now,

just Ramirez says Fig Newton is not a

cookie.

It's a fig bar or a fruit filled

snack.

If you take four Fig Newtons and you

put them in a line where the filling

goes all the way through the middle,

that's all that is.

They took a Fig bar,

cut it into four pieces,

and then called it a cookie.

It's not the same thing.

Listen, it's not a Nutri-Grain bar.

A Nutri-Grain bar is a fruit-filled bar.

Absolutely.

A Fig Newton is not that.

That soft outer...

Outer is a cookie.

That is a cookie stuffed with figs.

Now, I will tell you,

when I was a kid,

this popular cookie in my hometown,

I don't know who thought this up,

but it was called a raisin-filled cookie.

So it was kind of like a sugar

cookie with a bowl in the middle,

and they put raisin goo in the bowl.

That was awful.

Still a cookie.

Still a cookie.

So you put fig goo inside a cookie.

It's a cookie.

Yeah,

but I don't think a fig newton counts.

If you took the middle part out of

a fig newton,

if you took the filling out of it,

would you consider it to be a cookie?

Because I would not.

But if I took a chocolate chip out

of a cookie,

I wouldn't consider the chocolate chip a

cookie.

It's still a cookie.

The chocolate chip by itself?

No.

I'm not talking about the fig.

You take the fig part out.

What do you have left?

You have a sugar cookie.

Mark's done with us.

I'm unsubbing.

This is ridiculous.

Mark's had enough.

Crazy.

Vicky, I love figs.

I love Fig Newtons.

Love bacon-wrapped figs.

Love all things fig.

I have had a bacon-wrapped fig.

It's extremely fancy.

But to be fair,

I could wrap this hat in bacon and

I would eat it.

That's how much I love bacon.

So there's that.

Ken Walters chiming in with Fig Newton

falls into bar category of desserts.

When did bars become a dessert?

As soon as they started making Nutri-Grain

bars.

That ain't dessert.

That's a snack.

Okay.

So is a cookie.

No, a cookie is a dessert.

Not the slow news day.

Just trying to iron out some things from

yesterday.

That's all.

Before we jump into things.

Just trying to wrap some stuff up from

yesterday.

It's fine.

Yeah, that's all.

I love a Fig Newton.

Corey hates a Fig Newton.

Whatever.

Figs are mid, as the kids say.

Come on, man.

I don't like super sweet desserts.

Your Fig Newton is perfect.

It's like just sweet enough to make me

enjoy it.

So if I sprinkled some salt on your

Fig Newton, you'd be like, let's go.

I don't need salt on it.

mean that would make it even don't even

get me into salted caramel because i don't

even get that but oh dude salted caramel

come on and then the last thing i

want to wrap up from yesterday is i

listened to the swamp pop playlist that

you provided for me and it was actually

very relaxing in a bad work day there

you go

Other than doing the butt thing,

I didn't see a huge instrumental

difference between it and other things.

It just is like cool.

What I sent you yesterday was, I think,

like seven songs,

something along those lines.

And I guarantee you,

out of the multitudes of weddings I have

attended down here in South Louisiana,

those seven songs have been played ninety

nine percent of the time.

so anyway speaking of salted caramel you

can still get yours today at thirdsy.com

backslash jazzy that's using code jazzy at

checkout to get fifteen percent off your

order at thirdsy.com so go check that out

they have salted caramel they have

strawberry lemonade both are amazing both

help me sleep both are awesome

you vicky for the segue very nice all

right let's hit a couple uh quick hitters

and then we'll dive into the main topic

for the day hit it and that is

we have the confirmed individuals for the

rebel renegade games happening in about an

hour and a half maybe oh okay um

so this is the women's field.

We have Eileen wars.

We have Matilde, Garness, Var, Thurman,

Mo, Hannah black.

I could keep reading,

but you're most of these names are not

known.

Uh, Evie,

Evie Hollis is the only other one I

really knew of in this field.

They only get one spot.

I think it's Matilde's to, to lose.

Yeah, I would agree to that.

If we go to the men,

you have Max Krieg is there.

Max!

Sven Gienz dropped out of French to do

this one.

And Ben Fowler.

There's...

Keelan Henry.

There's someone else here, though,

that was...

Did you literally just skip over Jason

Dix?

Come on, dude.

Jason Dix is there.

It's Potguider.

Where's Potguider?

He's here.

Here, Ruan.

Ruan Potguider.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Vicky's saying Tiago Luzes.

That's the guy with the face tattoo.

Very scary looking.

Look at Max in South Africa, man.

I love Max Craig.

He is a fantastic human being.

He is a Swifty.

is a proud swifty as a matter of

fact he is one of the most interesting

people i've ever met in my entire life

to have a conversation with and i hope

to god he just does all does all

the things and punches his ticket he works

his ass off and he deserves to go

i love max as well he's been trained

by

one miss uh burger here in town yep

a friend of mine but i think this

is ruan puck guider's competition to win

tiago is pretty fit too max will be

up there though he should he he'll be

in the fight i have no question i

have no doubt about that so i just

hope he does what he can't if i'm

pulling for somebody i'm pulling for max

Seema wants to know if this is a

CrossFit semifinal.

Yes, it is.

Absolutely.

It is the Rebel Renegade Games.

Vicky, let us know.

Teams are actually on right now on the

stream.

Oh, I didn't know they were doing teams.

Yeah,

I think they get one team in too.

But they only get one spot to the

games.

Well, let's go, Maxie.

Max is getting internationalized of late.

Yeah,

he's hitting all the international spots.

He had dinner at least one night with

Brandon and Sammy.

Yeah, he's a good dude, man.

I agree.

He's a great dude.

So yesterday...

mr castro was all over the place so

let's check that out i saved a couple

things so he did a behind the scenes

and with that he was talking about kind

of walking the way the athletes will enter

the stadium

at the sap center okay and with that

i think it's like a marketing thing to

because he they followed him walking out

of the tunnel and then it opens up

to this big arena with all these seats

and the the lights and all that stuff

now no floor anything because they're

still playing hockey or we're playing

hockey or basketball or so i don't know

but anyway hockey ball he does all that

But in that conversation,

this was clipped by Dents.

So I'm going to play this for you.

Sure I am.

History.

Our past.

The legacy of CrossFit.

The legacy of the CrossFit Games.

What is the legacy of the CrossFit Games?

The ultimate test to find the fittest man

and woman alive.

Are you going to pull from old workouts?

Time will tell.

Time will tell.

What's the inspiration this year?

Our history.

So you get it.

He's so cagey, dude.

Time will tell.

That means yes.

Well,

you go on to this long diatribe that

this year is about our history,

this year is about our legacy,

all of that stuff.

Are you going to pull from that?

Time will tell.

Yeah.

Come on, dude.

He's not going to answer a direct

question.

I know,

but he already pretty much answered it by

the way he answered the first part.

Absolutely.

He's trying to be kind of cagey.

Well, I mean, time will tell.

You just talked about the fact that we've

been doing this for twenty years.

Come on, dude.

Yeah.

So I think that was pretty obvious.

Jacob Matthew Seymour says,

suites seem dope.

He did when he walked out, he talked,

there are going to be four floor suites

at the finish line that people can

purchase.

I think I've already purchased.

And then he showed the whole upper ring

are private box suites.

And I think he mentioned in the video,

the full length video,

those may already be sold damn good so

that's awesome so that's that's good news

now if they could sell some seats that

would help but hopefully like as more

people qualify more seats get sold because

now you know who you want to go

support

as the floor gets set.

Yeah.

Well, the field gets set rather.

I would, I would agree.

That's probably going to,

and as you get closer to it,

because the people are waiting, dude,

like every year it happens, right?

They, they, they, they get up close.

There's still seats left.

All of a sudden you can get decent

seats at a ridiculously discounted rate.

And they just go ahead and start,

they start filling up at that point.

So it'll be fine.

So leader said,

wasn't that the inspo for last year back

to classic CrossFit?

I think last year was a forced back

to classic CrossFit because in my opinion,

the board of, excuse me,

the board of directors,

the board of directors didn't want the

liability of outdoor events.

Yeah.

Other than a run.

And so everything was brought inside,

pretty much handcuffing them to classic

CrossFit.

And he had no choice.

He doing it like as if it was

in a gym setting,

just on a larger scale.

Yeah.

So, um,

he always pulls from old workouts to

outside one ranch and two,

he will try to reboot a capital style

workout.

I don't know.

I don't, I'm,

I don't want to be pessimistic about this.

I want to be optimistic about this.

I, I,

Maybe he is inspired.

And if he pulls from old workouts,

so be it.

So what?

Who cares?

Or modifies old workouts.

I mean,

you can only put things together so many

different ways.

We did Murph two years in a row

at the games.

They did Fibonacci two years in a row.

They did Murph two years in a row,

but they switched it up.

That's what I'm getting at.

You can pull from old stuff and then

make it slightly different or different

enough to matter anyway and going from

ginormous big sets to not quite so

ginormous big sets and now everybody's

complaining about the sun.

I would not bitch if Strongman's Fear came

back.

I would not either.

Two-stroke pull.

Pick some stuff, dude.

Some cool stuff.

Something along the lines of Chaos again.

like a chaos two with different movements

and nobody knows what they are.

And we're lining up everybody at the same

time and let them roll.

That was fun to watch, dude.

You don't know what's going on.

You just know who's in the lead.

You can kind of watch people try to

game it and whatnot.

That was fun to watch.

That's one of my favorite events that ever

happened.

Um,

Us Masters Games athletes are getting a

free ticket for Friday only.

If we want to spectate for the other

two days,

we still need to buy a three-day pass,

no discount, nothing.

They did put single-day tickets on sale,

I believe, a couple days ago.

Yeah, last year was the safety games.

They just didn't have anybody in padded

helmets and

full full body pads and whatnot out there

just in case like they were worried to

death about it and i get it like

i'm not mad at him for it it

was still made and you still had some

good races you know the men's field and

especially like it was down to the last

day before jason actually won it so good

on them they may do what they had

right they worked within the confines of

their restrictions and they made it they

made it as good as they possibly could

so

This year,

hopefully that rain is a little bit

loosened a little bit so they can move

forward and do some cool stuff.

It's going to have to see.

Jacob says, no matter what they,

when they return to outdoor risky events,

risky, they will say, oh,

now we forget about the tragedy.

And a subset of people will be butthurt.

You can't worry about those.

No,

but I think what he's getting at is

that it's a vocal subset of people because

they're going to be the first ones on

there going, well,

nobody cares about Lazar anymore.

yeah no everybody's still sad that he's

going dude like nobody's forgotten about

him it's kind of hard to forget about

him at this point so they make noise

and then that gets highlighted because you

can't help but see it on whatever post

that you see everywhere whether it's on

the instagram comments the youtube

comments or whatnot so i i get what

he's saying i personally just try to

scroll past it because it's it you're not

helping anybody at that point

You're complaining to complain again,

like we've been talking about all week.

Those people are there specifically just

to bitch about it because they need

something to complain about because I

don't like the way this is going.

So I'm going to say what I got

to say.

They're the same people who get their

order, get, you know,

fifteen French fries at Chick-fil-A

instead of seventeen French fries at

Chick-fil-A and bring the bag back.

Because I didn't get exactly what I

ordered.

It's the same thing.

Well,

the Chick-fil-A fries are a big waffle

fry.

So if you're missing two of me,

it's a big deal.

I'm just kidding.

What I will say is if I have

a criticism of CrossFit in this regard is

I think sometimes they listen to the vocal

minority.

Yes.

instead of especially the new regime the

newest newer regime hopefully that changes

with the new ceo but and the newer

regime tends to listen to the vocal

minority yeah instead of doing what they

believe is right

And I hope that comes to an end.

And it didn't used to be like that.

And people like us remember when it wasn't

like that.

When they were just like, hey, bro,

this is what we're doing.

Like it, don't like it, cool.

We really don't care.

We're just moving forward.

So many years in a row,

I would hear Boz and Dave and all

these people say,

we changed this because people said this.

And when they say that, I'm like,

that was like,

ten percent of the population were

bitching to bitch.

And you guys dove into something that

wasn't a real complaint.

And when you do that,

those people feel vindicated.

And they get louder, and they're like,

well, we made change.

Yeah, but did you make good change?

No, you did not.

Ninety percent of the time,

that did not do anybody any good.

All it did was pull back the reins,

stifle creativity as far as programming is

concerned,

and just made a worse show for everybody.

Who wants to see that?

um yeah we don't even have to do

that jacob to to i mean no i

see comments all the time it's yeah we

get some of those yeah as a matter

of fact yes vicky listening to the wrong

percent of the voices yes so we talked

about safety and talking about forgetting

lazar

Dave was also doing a,

one of his athlete interviews with Sahir

Maya.

I probably didn't pronounce that

perfectly, but it's fine.

I know we knew you, me.

Um, okay.

And then this,

so he asked swimming comes up in this

interview.

Second question is you mentioned you

finished, um, second to last or,

or almost last on the swim event.

Um,

is swimming another one of your

weaknesses?

Yeah,

that's one of the questions I was going

to ask you if we were swimming this

year.

Have you been working on it?

I was in the pool this morning because

I have a feeling.

She was not in Nepal.

Probably a good training to include

swimming.

That's not a bad idea.

Not a bad idea.

Not a bad idea.

Now, my guess is if they swim,

it's going to be in a pool.

I would one hundred percent agree with

that.

Then I get it.

They're not getting an ocean.

That's not happening.

But.

I'm glad.

Hopefully.

Hopefully.

Hopefully we get back to a pool and

we stop being afraid.

Don't so much that you can do.

We were.

Hmm.

Jacob is telling me how to pronounce it.

Thank you so much.

Sierra, like the country.

Syria.

Meha.

Syria.

The country is Syria.

Syria.

Syria, Meha.

Yeah, I can read too.

Here's the thing, and this just struck me,

okay?

The Capitol, when we did the Capitol,

that was in an open course, right?

They were just running.

somebody comes through because there's a

there's a they're running on a sidewalk

right next to the street um might get

hit by a car just running on the

street gets taken out right there somebody

drunk driver somebody falls asleep at the

wheel and any one of a number of

things gonna happen

They jump, somebody gets clipped, smashed,

boom,

all of a sudden the event's over because

somebody just got hit by a car and

the police had to shut down the entire

course and whatnot.

Do we not run anymore?

Do we not do another outdoor run anymore

forever for the next three years because

somebody on an open course got hit by

a car?

Is that a thing?

Not only will we stop running,

but we're not allowed to drive either.

We're not allowed to drive.

All of us have to Uber now at

every event.

I don't,

that's the overreaction that happens in

those things.

Yeah.

And, and I always,

I always compare it to like a pendulum

swing.

Right.

Last year,

the pendulum swung from what we were doing

all the way to the other side,

to the safety games.

Yeah.

As that pendulum goes back and forth,

it stops swinging as far.

And hopefully you get to the middle of

common sense.

i never like the over the the the

holy the holy crap overreaction it's like

oh that's oh we can't uh we can't

swim anymore okay it's just it's terrible

so joseph has a suggestion just add more

machines yeah just put them on the air

runners after that

At Torian,

Royce wasn't a hundred percent confident.

The ruck wasn't going to be entirely shut

down for the runners,

according to the most recent podcast.

Got to accept some risk and logistical

impossibilities.

Everyday life, you assume risk.

Every day you wake up.

Yep.

You get on the road,

you get hit by a bus.

Boom.

Your day's over with.

It does not matter.

I know people,

especially once you getting into my age

group and Scott's age group where you bend

over to pick something up off the floor

and it's not even heavy and you throw

your back out because it happens.

You have to accept some level of risk.

It has to be there.

It's inherent in everything you do.

And then when you start trying to look

for the fittest on earth,

that level goes up and everybody that's

there at the games

no matter what level you're at,

assumes that level of risk when they show

up and assumes that, hey, man,

something crazy might happen.

Agreed.

Rich fell off a rope.

He wasn't two feet in the air.

He wasn't four feet in the air.

He was at the top of the rope

when he fell all the way down and

landed on that freaking Home Depot bucket.

Pat and Matt fell off the top of

the cargo net.

If I sneeze wrong,

I'm out for a week.

Yeah.

CrossFit emerged with an undertone of

acceptance of risk.

People still crave the refreshing sense of

balanced view on risk versus reward.

Yeah.

Dave's background is military.

The U.S.

military has zero common sense and teaches

that why do we think we have to

have it at the games?

It's not Dave's common sense.

Guys, get off of Dave.

All of this was mandated by the board

of directors.

We want to think Dave is the end-all

be-all to this games thing.

He answers to people.

He's been doing it all his life.

He's in the military.

It's always somebody higher up.

Always somebody higher up.

Yeah, Mark's completely right.

CrossFit started out as Metal AF.

It's what drew people in.

Dude, I...

Honestly,

like when I walked into a CrossFit gym,

it was so different, so refreshing,

so competitive.

So what I was missing in my life.

Yeah.

All of those things.

The first.

workout I ever did where I went where

I was hooked like all the way in

I don't remember what it was but I

remember laying on the ground trying to

breathe sweating profusely heart beating

out of my chest and thinking I want

more of that

Whatever that was, I need more of that.

It's like, uh,

Neo in the matrix when he, when they,

the first time they,

they upload something to his brain and

he's like,

I know Kung Fu and he's sitting there

and he comes out of it and Oh,

Mikey likes it.

Yup.

He sure does.

Cause that feels amazing.

And I want to do that again.

I want to push myself again.

I want to,

I don't want to say hurt myself,

but I mean, it hurts.

CrossFit hurts.

It's not a secret.

Larry Young with the Super Chat.

I found JR saying your bias should change

every comp refreshing.

And I'll give kudos to your son, Larry.

I watched his two thousand fourteen

analysis.

I haven't talked about all of the

different games and how every one of the

games had a bias and that.

And he said this.

That's OK.

It's OK for every competition to have a

bias in that sport.

That is sport.

when you are playing football,

you don't know the weather conditions.

You don't know the wind speed.

You don't know a lot of things.

When you're playing golf, hell,

if there's a gust of wind,

your ball could go off into whatever,

right?

Sand traps are not always in the same

place.

The whole location changes.

Everything can have a bias and it's going

to affect the overall overall

the overall outlook and performance of the

athletes at that event.

Yep.

And it's okay.

It's actually a good thing because it, it,

it better prepares you for the crazy stuff

that might happen on a regular everyday

basis.

the more adverse the conditions that you

finish something in,

that you start something in and then

finish something in when you can do it

again.

And because measurable, observable,

repeatable, it's a repeatable part.

And now it's, well,

last time I did this,

it was four hundred degrees outside and

ninety nine percent humidity.

And today it's seventy five and sunny and

breezy.

This should be better.

But I finished it when it was four

hundred degrees and ninety ninety nine

percent humidity.

So it's

you have to be able to get through

all that.

And thank you very much, Larry,

for the super chat.

A hundred percent.

Uh, speaking of the foreign degrees,

Athena wants to know if you got your

fan situation squared, squared away.

Yeah.

Um, it,

so obviously we don't have air

conditioning in our building and all,

we have a very much a metal roof

and the fan is probably fan is probably

a foot and a half.

If that from the metal roof and it

was hot as shit,

it happens from time to time.

It gets overheated.

It shuts down for a little while.

If you just turn it off and leave

it alone, it goes back on.

It's a pretty bad day when your fan

overheats.

yeah it's just because it's just because

it wouldn't where it is in particular a

lot of those big ass fans or like

they have enough ceiling you know for it

to drop down and have enough airflow in

between it where it never overheats and

generally speaking or this happens a

couple times a year um but it's ours

because our ceilings aren't super high

it's so close to that metal roof that

if you got a good hot sunny day

when it's ninety something degrees outside

there's a chance it could overheat

Can't you get a big ass fan for

the floor?

Can you make them?

We had two giant box fans in that

room as well.

And then two other ones on the other

side by the way.

You didn't just say box fan, did you?

Yeah.

I mean, it's not an actual box,

but yeah,

we got two big old fans that we

can roll around on wheels.

They're circle, right?

Yeah, they are.

That ain't a box fan, man.

That's like an industrial fan.

I understand that,

but I don't know what else to call

it.

And we ain't like at grandma's house with

a little box fan in the corner.

No,

but I've done that in my garage before.

Sure.

And what help is that in your garage?

Not a whole lot.

It was more mental than anything else.

You might as well blow on your hand.

Yeah, pretty much.

Ooh, there's a breeze.

One of them Southern Lady fans.

I probably have to have a mint julep

in the other hand.

But anyway.

Is it better to vent out the heat

or have floor fans to move the hot

air?

We have exhaust fans because it's an old

industrial building.

But mostly what they do is make noise.

Like they are loud as shit.

And sometimes people,

it depends on who's coaching.

Sometimes they'll run them.

Sometimes they won't.

And I don't find that they make any

difference whatsoever aside from making it

way louder in there than it needs to

be.

Brux's rolling big-ass swamp coolers are

nice.

They are.

They're expensive, though.

Like, a lot.

Yeah, it's hot.

Everybody hop on the Echo bike.

There you go.

We are the machines.

Machines, baby.

Get on the bike.

You want to get cool?

If you really want to get down there,

you get one of your friends to get

on the bike and fan you.

You just stand there in front of the

bike.

Works well.

Well, I have a one o'clock meeting.

I hate that.

But there's one thing I did want to

leave you guys with.

And it comes with a little story.

When I, you know, I am,

the reason this show is named Clydesdale

is because I'm a larger man.

You big dude.

Right.

And it comes from,

I always wanted to run events.

And back in the day,

some of the running events would have a

Clydesdale division.

Sure.

If you were over two hundred pounds or

two twenty five or something like that,

you could enter the Clydesdale division

and just compete against people like that.

Well,

I would always play pickup basketball.

I loved playing pickup basketball.

But I never got any fouls called on

people playing.

blocking me charging me or whatever

because of my large stature people just

kind of they assume you just knocking

people over yeah right so i found a

guy who is going through the same thing

i did when i was a kid i

love this video by the way and i

and i had to share it so i'm

gonna pull this up

Here we go.

Here we go.

That's his friend.

That's his teammate.

You never, ever, never,

ever celebrate with a Clydesdale.

Here's the thing.

You can.

Don't get airborne.

But the little subtlety,

do you see him blow the kiss before

he hits the three?

That's perfect, dude.

That's perfect.

He juked that dude out of his shoes

and was like, watch this.

I'm going to play it one more time.

Watch for him blowing the kiss.

That is my man.

love it laced it ran back and his

teammates trying to celebrate with him god

bless him it didn't work out well yeah

good stuff good i just had to share

it it just felt like old times on

the basketball court for me uh daniel

arnson wants to know how tall i am

i am five eleven just a shade under

six foot

So, yeah, when I started CrossFit,

that was tall for being a CrossFitter.

Not anymore.

Now we got the hoppers and the sprags

and the peppers and making me look

shorter.

All them big boys.

But when I was rooming with Corey,

there was definitely a difference in our

height.

A hundred percent.

We figured that out day one.

Yeah, pretty quick.

So hanging out with Corey, I feel tall.

Anybody who ever wants to feel tall,

just come stand next to me.

I'm perfectly fine with that.

Seema, me too.

I'm five-eleven and three-quarters.

My doctor says I can't say six feet.

You can be six feet tall, Seema.

It's fine.

You can be whatever you want to be.

It's two-twenty-twenty-six.

You can literally be whatever the hell you

want to be.

It doesn't even matter anymore.

Yeah, when I was in high school,

I tried to say I was six feet.

Oh, speaking about six feet.

So David Johnston,

when he and I met in person or

right before that, when he said,

asking me if the short guys were going

to dominate one of the events at Magic

City.

And I was like, I mean,

maybe I said,

I've been five foot six since I was

fifteen.

He's like, damn it.

He said in my head,

you were six feet tall.

He said,

I just assume everybody's the same height

as me.

And I was like,

I am not the same height as you.

Yeah.

David Johnson is a specimen at six feet

tall.

That dude is carved out of granite.

It is absolutely insane.

He is absurdly strong.

And he's a great dude.

Love that dude.

Daniel is six three.

He used to be too big for this.

Yeah, now you're not anymore.

Not anymore.

Now I just hope for rowing and echo

bike.

That's all.

Well, God, I hate cutting these short,

but I got to go to a meeting.

It's been a hell week, man.

I stopped drinking two and a half years

ago.

This week has me this close to picking

it back up again.

My wife has been about the same amount

of time and every once in a while,

I mean, she's still off from her surgery,

but every once in a while,

like while she's working and she'll text

me and she's like, I need a drink.

I'm like,

you haven't had a drink in two fucking

years.

I don't think you need a drink.

I think you need to relax.

Maybe go take a walk.

Yeah.

Well,

a Bloody Mary sounded really good at nine

AM this morning.

I mean, just saying.

uh same i quit a year and a

half ago and the government is making me

want to drink for the government cement

they're they are forcing it almost i work

for the government i get it that's

fantastic gosh oh yeah um grab a gummy

lower calories lower calories less stress

like it's actually gonna help you recover

and sleep a little bit i mean

Yeah, maybe.

Mark is not wrong.

I drink NAs like an absolute flower boy.

I tell you what, dude, I've had a,

what is it, the Athletic Brew?

That stuff's actually pretty good.

I used to drink a lot of craft

beer,

and the Athletic Brew stuff with no

alcohol is actually pretty tasty.

If I'm going to drink an NA,

I'll just get a Coke.

you know yeah i mean i mean like

let's be honest you know i love beer

and i love like the flavor of it

but if it's not alcoholic back in the

day like i'll i'll just have a better

tasting something i'll go milkshake or

something i started drinking again during

covet after not for

COVID is what helped me get into bourbon

because we had nothing else to do but

work, work out, and drink.

That was literally what me and my wife

did for six months.

It was ridiculous.

All right, you have a meeting.

Yeah, and I'm going to be late.

All right.

Bye, guys.

We will see you all next time on

lunch.

Like and subscribe.

Then we'll see you next time.

I wouldn't wait to get to the editing

room to jazz me up.

I'm already jazzy.

Midday motivation every time you press

call.

Lunch with the Glidesdale Cavalry in the

heat.

CrossFit, movies, music on repeat.

Half-hour hustle, yeah,
