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.
Did WFP make the dumbest mistake ever?
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.
E-M-M-E!
It's lunch time.
What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Every time I put into the description of
the show that this is our time to
take a break from the busy work day,
catch our breath, hang out with friends,
talk about sports, entertainment,
and specifically CrossFit, right?
I need that more today than I have
ever needed it.
I have been in a meeting since eight
thirty this morning.
It paused for lunch.
We have to go back at one o'clock.
I have had more joy poking a fork
in my eye than what this meeting is.
That is how joyless this meeting has been.
And before we came on here,
you were telling me what is the thing
that you, that steals your joy.
yeah um so anytime something like that
comes up like for example painting like
painting like inside your house like
painting a wall painting uh you know
outside of your house whatever i hate it
i had a real bad experience when i
was nineteen years old and i hated so
i always say i would rather nail my
feet to the floor
with a ball-peen hammer and bad aim than
doing whatever that absolutely is.
Well,
I told you I had a funny anecdote
for that, and that is, so my house,
my wife, her degree is in interior design.
And so she loves to design things.
She loves to change things up.
Like right now,
I'm changing out all the outlet covers in
my house to a more decorative version
because she's just tired of the color.
And so...
Um, so when she wants a wall painted,
like I'll run an errand and I'll come
back and there will be paint supplies out
everywhere and a wall that has like three
strokes of paint on it.
i'm like what happened here she goes well
i started and i was like eff it
i'm not gonna i just need a break
and that drives me bananas so then i'm
like all right and i get on like
my paint clothes and i go and i'll
finish painting the room because i just
can't stand like the stuff being out
everywhere and she knows it she know and
i know she knows it and she knows
that i know that she knows
But that's to paint a room.
She just gets the stuff out while I'm
not in the house and she'll paint a
couple swatches on the wall.
And then I come back going, oh,
can't stand it.
And then paint the damn room.
Yeah.
My wife informed me the other day that
she wants to paint the garage,
the inside of the garage,
and then like put one of the coatings
down on the, on the floor and whatnot,
because she's been doing most of her
workouts from home.
And she just wants it to be,
so it's going to get sort of forced
us to clean it out before that and
whatnot, and just make it nicer and such.
And I was like, okay, you said paint.
Yeah.
Okay.
Here we go.
And those those floorings are paint as
well, right?
Yeah, it's all paint.
It's all paint.
Vicki says that's why she does it.
I know that.
Like I said,
I know that she knows that I know
she knows.
It's not a secret.
Oh, well,
and then like one time I had to
work on a Saturday.
And I come home and my kitchen is
repainted in the sloppiest,
half-assed way possible.
And I spent the whole evening cleaning up
the edges.
And I would rather paint the edges than
clean up the edges.
So it's that, it's that old, um,
how do you get out of doing the
dishes like forever?
Um, break a couple, right.
And you just do a terrible job.
It's like, well,
nobody's ever going to ask you to do
that again because you just messed it up
so bad.
And they, they were like, how about no,
uh, stall mats,
Corey painting the floor is such a hassle.
Yeah.
But the, have you ever priced stall mats,
Vicky?
They're not cheap at all.
So,
and they are the heaviest things on the
face of the planet.
So if you buy stall mats from like
a gym place, they're like way more.
If you go to like a farm shop
and get horse stall mats, way cheaper.
Yeah.
The ones at Tractor Supply were still like
eighty five bucks a piece.
What?
I got mine for like twenty bucks a
piece.
Fuck, I wish.
wish because if that be the case i
would be parking on stall mats every
single day when i pulled into the garage
because they would i went out of outfit
at the gym but no when i when
i went to get it now granted i
will say this too when i went and
bought the ones that we used to have
um that we no longer have i got
them while the world was shut down so
like i probably was paying a premium at
the end because they were hard to come
by at that point
And then Polaris,
they went from the stall mats to the
rollout floor.
And they sold off all the mats like
dirt cheap.
Like ten bucks a pop just to get
them out.
And I got a couple more there.
Vicky,
I did half my garage tractor supply.
Joseph says,
just do the dishes wrong and they'll ask
you to stop eventually.
And just quit asking you to do it.
Paper plates.
Yeah, no, the, the.
Ninety-nine percent of the meals at my
home are in eating on paper plates.
So there's nobody wants to do two dishes
that, and, uh,
I am very much proponent of like,
when I make my eggs in the morning,
I put them in a bowl that I
mixed them in,
put them back into that bowl after they're
cooked, eat, wash the bowl.
put it in a drying board.
Why?
Because I use one bowl all week.
Like that's where it's at.
Don't mess with my bowl.
And with just my wife and I now,
like we try to use paper plates as
much as possible.
She's a little bougie though.
There's certain things she won't eat on a
paper plate.
Well,
so like we got some Wagyu ribeyes for
my anniversary and we pulled out the
actual plates to eat those on because it
felt kind of weird.
yeah yeah you don't want to use a
steak knife on a paper plate no no
so yesterday was the the first day of
the registration for the the open and I
saw you post your little badge um proud
of you number eight baby I'll get I'll
get mine up there soon um I think
I'm at twelve now twelve um so yeah
um
So what I find,
and just bear with me,
a lot of people are talking about this.
Everybody knows that that was the date of
open registration.
And I would contend that even the WFP
knew that open registration started
yesterday.
And they picked that date to release the
information about their upcoming season.
Which was all kind of good.
We talked about it yesterday.
We talked about the changes,
what's coming, right?
But then, unbeknownst to all of us,
CrossFit decided to do this campaign,
I think is what they call them,
where they collaborated with pretty near
every major athlete in the space.
And here is the one they collabed with,
with Tia.
freaking awesome yeah right it it has an
action item at the end register now at
games.crossfit.com
It is showing not just Tia on the
competition floor,
but in her gym preparing for it.
The first one I saw was our very
own Carolyn Prevo.
They collaborated with her as well.
And they made individual reels for every
athlete.
So they were personalized for each one,
which was freaking awesome.
So if you're the WFP...
And you decide, hey,
I'm going to come in and we're going
to make our announcement on this day.
And then the whole Instagram social media
world is flooded with all of your favorite
athletes.
And might I say,
the major athletes that the WFP wants to
showcase at their events are
not only posting about doing the open,
but collaborating with CrossFit HQ in the
process about here I come, signing up,
proving it here.
Flexing on them.
That's what it feels like, right?
CrossFit didn't have to say a word.
And they couldn't have planned this,
right?
It was a happy accident because they had
to prepare all those reels well in
advance.
They had,
and the Carolyn told me they sent them
out to her a day or two before
and just said,
do not release it until the day of
registration.
Um, it,
what a freaking coup that this campaign
had become accidentally.
right?
Because nobody's paying attention to what
the WFP is doing when all of your
favorite athletes are putting these out
and you're watching, Ooh,
how'd they change it up for Dallin?
Ooh, how'd they change it up for Emma?
Ooh, how'd they change it up for X,
Y, Z, right?
Even if you didn't want to.
Because they're just there,
and everybody's reposting them,
which makes them show up in your feed
that much more,
and they're on everybody's stories.
I've shared several of them,
like Bill Leahy's,
I've run across Jason Hopper's,
I saw Tia's.
God.
A bunch of them.
I know Lydia Fish's.
Campbell, Colin Bossard.
I mean, so it was European athletes,
it was American athletes,
it was people all over the world.
It was...
And Ortega says now they're making it for
affiliates.
They have one with Hopper at the beginning
where the proving it here is just average
Joe CrossFitters,
which is pretty cool too.
I think I can show that one too.
Not that it's specifically for affiliates,
but it's kind of a mix of, hey,
here's our CrossFit Games athlete and...
so I mean those are so good dude
like I want to send CrossFit a bill
for the wall I'm fixing to go run
through after watching three or four of
them in a row I mean that is
that's absurd but they're absurdly well
done like you said
It's punchy, it's brief,
it's got an action item.
Hey, games.crossfit.com.
And the thing Ortega's talking about is
that if you're an affiliate owner,
you can respond to them,
send them what they're asking for,
and they will make one of those for
you with your affiliate logo on it and
then send it back to you and have
it back to you before,
I think they said February the fifth.
If affiliates don't fill out that form,
it's a miss.
if i didn't even know that part so
that's really cool development that you
can send in your logo um and they'll
make one for you that's freaking awesome
well and what a brilliant move from for
crossfit because it's going to touch all
these people that don't necessarily follow
crossfit or crossfit games if you make it
for the affiliates it's going to go out
to every affiliate and if you're a gym
member you're following your own gym's
instagram account
right?
Or Facebook, whatever.
And you're going to hit people that you
don't normally hit.
Yeah.
Cause they're going to share it, right?
Your members are probably going to share
it.
They're going to share it to their story,
to other people that don't know, you know,
no.
Oh yeah, no.
I know Corey does CrossFit,
whatever at this place, but Whoa, this is,
is this what they actually do?
This looks cool.
I mean, it's, that's a home run.
I feel like that's a home run.
Yeah, and so kudos, kudos,
many kudos to CrossFit.
I think this is the best thing to
come out of the media department since
COVID.
Oh, yeah.
For sure.
Easily.
Easily.
This is better than stuff they were
putting out earlier that we thought was
cool when it first hit, you know,
the F the quick fix and, you know,
all the stuff that was along those lines.
That was cool in kind of a generic
kind of way, I guess you could say,
like, you know,
bringing back Pukie and all that kind of
stuff.
Yeah, okay, that's pretty nice.
But this right here, the timing's right.
I still think they should have done it
earlier,
but I think open registration should have
been open since the beginning of January,
not in the middle of it, but whatever.
But the fact that it all coincided at
once and it's like a blitz campaign,
right?
Everything's hidden all at once.
You can't not see it.
And to get like all these huge names
actually collaborate with you and it,
and it's kind of like, Hey,
This season is important to us.
Important enough that we're going to
collab with CrossFit HQ.
And all the doubt that we had going
into last season,
this sheds a ton of it as to
the feelings for where people are with
CrossFit and the upcoming season.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
I'll say this too.
And this is on a,
on a related topic.
At my own gym,
we have a couple of new people just
signed up.
I was leaving this morning to come to
work.
And we had a rando come in off
the street,
signed up because he wanted to come work
out.
And he kind of,
he kind of sort of knew what CrossFit
was.
And then another person also showed up for
the eight o'clock that signed up.
We're doing a three for three hundred deal
right now.
And like that hasn't happened in quite
some time where,
especially not just Rando's walking in off
the street.
So there's gotta be something behind it,
right?
You don't just walk into a CrossFit gym
blind and just go, yeah,
I want to try that.
Or rarely I would say that is that
actually the case?
So I haven't had a chance to talk
to those people yet.
I talked to one of them briefly,
but the rest of it, dude,
like that's a good sign.
You know,
I take that as a good sign.
For sure.
Um,
Back on the WFP side of this,
totally bad timing now.
All the athletes that you're trying to
promote from your sport just basically
signed up with the other, right?
That you say you're not competing with,
but you are.
And then they put out a video last
night that last I checked,
two hundred views,
which it almost twenty four hours.
I mean,
this show gets more than two hundred
views.
Spot to say, I think we do better.
And we wanted a small guys in the
business.
Right.
And so.
It was an attempt at kind of explaining
what the upcoming season changes were.
We did that yesterday,
so I'm not going to rehash a lot
of that.
But the one thing that I kind of
took from it is there's a point where
Will is trying to explain why the five
invitees.
And he's talking about, well,
you never know if like someone got hurt
or if you want to invite someone locally
to like bring the crowds in or maybe
someone from another sport.
And I'm thinking, oh, that's a lie.
And that's why nobody believes in you
anymore.
Because you made all these promises and
you said all these statements and none of
them have come true.
And the reason the five invitees are there
are because of all the people that
withdrew that you think you've lost and
you want to give them a way to
get back in without having to do the
qualifier.
That's why you did it.
So all this other mumbo jumbo that you
put around it is all a lie.
And we all know it now.
And just stop lying.
Just, hey, we lost some people last year,
so we are inviting these people because
that's our prerogative and we can.
Why not just say that?
Like, own it.
Hey, man,
we want these people to come in.
So we're inviting these people.
You don't even have to go beyond that.
You can just say that part.
But what sucks about it, and I don't...
here i don't know okay i'm i'm muffled
up in my head here um what it
sucks about it is what sucks about it
is you are now making the pro card
devalued yeah you've done two things
you've said okay we fought for these top
twenty positions so you have a pro card
and get to go automatic bid for all
the stuff next year
And then you said,
but first tour stop next year,
all the ten of you that fought for
it and didn't make it,
we're going to let you in too.
And then, oh,
and then we're going to keep these five
spots open for those people who decided
not to join us in Copenhagen,
but we still really want you to come
play with us.
So if you decide to,
we'll let you in without a qualifier.
It sounds weak.
Okay.
Jonathan,
here's the difference between World
Fitness Project and Rogue and Rich.
Yes, it's their competition.
Yes, they can do it however they want,
but don't tell us they're doing it one
way and then do it another.
Yeah, no,
I think that's what Jonathan's getting at
is that that's what they should be doing.
And just say it.
Hey, bro,
we're going to invite whoever the hell we
want to invite.
It's our competition.
Instead of going, well,
we want to leave it for this.
No, we know that's bullshit.
Just say what you mean.
Well,
we're inviting whoever we want to invite
because it's our competition and we can't.
Like if Jason Ansley,
I was watching their, the,
the monster games,
Q and a live Q and a last
night, and they were explaining, you know,
how this goes and how that goes and
whatnot.
And if Jason wanted to say,
and we're inviting these six people and we
don't give a shit who likes it,
like that is something he would.
And as the competition director for WFP,
I don't understand why he's not saying
that to just come out and say,
Hey bro,
like he doesn't strike me as a type
of person to say those kinds of things.
Tristan says,
I've not watched a single piece of WFP
media.
Nothing I've seen come across my YouTube
has looked remotely interesting.
It's all a rehash of what's been done
in the past.
It's all a rehash.
It's all the same damn stuff.
And that's the other promise that was made
that never got changed.
The other thing,
they are so inside their own bubble.
By having...
this podcast, I guess, yesterday,
and having Brian Friend be the
interviewer, he works for them.
He's inside the circle.
No follow-up questions are ever asked.
And I was having a conversation with
someone around the space yesterday that
like the delusional mirror that these
people are using right now
And thinking that what they're doing is
right and I don't even understand it,
right?
Like the self-confidence that that
delusional mirror gives them is insanity,
is insane.
Yeah.
And I'm going to finish just on this
little piece.
I was watching Spin last night going to
bed and they ended on some stuff about...
Hiller's piece on scarcity and then
there's all this stuff out there available
to them.
And then they brought up Tyler's Combine.
thing.
And then I thought about Hiller's redo of
the WFP season.
That's what we need.
We need like something different that,
that shows off these athletes and makes it
fun for us to watch other than the
same thruster pull-up workout over and
over and over again.
Right.
And I thought about like American Ninja
Warrior and
it's a fun show that I like to
watch in the summer.
It,
I don't have to pay attention to it.
It can just kind of be on and
I watch it and it's fun and people
do crazy ass shit on it.
And the,
they end their season with a skills
competition, not another race.
Cause we've already seen the race, right?
They do like who can Lachey the farthest,
who can salmon ladder the highest,
who can, you know,
all these things where then they get to
show these like superhuman feats and
And that's fun because it's different than
what we just watched all summer.
We need to find those types of things.
Like I think Waterpalooza SoCal has done
an awesome job of like creating an event
that is very different than what we just
watched.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And they brought up the three-person teams
at Wadapalooza too,
that that's very different.
And that's one of the reasons they're very
popular is it gives the athletes something
to do other than compete individually,
hang out with friends,
and the spectators get to watch something
different than we've seen all time.
And as opposed to the individual
competitions,
the three-person thing at Waterpalooza
looks fun.
They look like they're having fun for the
most part, right?
I mean, you're still working.
They're still suffering.
Obviously, it still hurts,
but it's always funner.
I mean,
my favorite class to coach and my favorite
class to usually jump into is on Saturdays
whenever we have a two- or three-person
team.
Because it's fun to do, right?
Everybody's pushing harder because you
don't want to let anybody down.
So not this past year,
but a year before that,
I did beach brawl and I did the
individual on Saturday and the team on
Sunday.
And at some point,
Probably the day before I got over there,
I found out that I made it,
like I qualified for Legends.
So I was over the moon, right?
And I was going to do the max
lift.
And one of the guys that's on my
team,
who's also basically one of my coaches,
was sitting there yelling at me about,
you know, focus, blah, blah, whatever.
And I did my lift.
I put the barbell down.
I looked at him.
I said, Bernard.
I don't give a shit about this right
now.
I said, tomorrow,
whenever we're on the same team, I will.
But right now, I just made legends.
I don't give a damn about this right
now.
I'm just out here having fun,
getting warmed up and getting ready for
tomorrow.
And it's because I didn't want to let
anybody down.
I wasn't pushing super hard,
trying to do anything crazy or outside of
my limits,
pushing my limits too far because I knew
the next day,
I got three other people that are
depending on me to be at, you know,
be the best that I possibly could be.
Or take us as Scott.
I'm not always a contrarian.
I know, I know.
Sometimes I get into these like modes of
like,
I don't like what I'm seeing so that
now I'm in fight mode and I don't
mean to take it out on you.
Wayne says it'd be bad.
Look,
if Hopper and DB get invites and win
the season without a contract.
But it would be entertaining.
Vicky says Physical One Hundred is awesome
and Ultimate Beastmaster.
I tried to watch Ultimate Beastmaster
first season.
I got through a little bit,
but I couldn't get through it all.
I don't like mass eliminations.
So I'm old enough that if you say
Beastmaster,
I think of the movie with Mark,
whatever that dude's name was,
whenever he was in charge,
although I have no idea what Ultimate
Beastmaster is.
Yeah, so it's Mr. Beast,
and they play for tons of money, and...
And I liked it.
I liked the games they were playing.
I liked the stuff.
But every once in a while, like,
if you're on a grid, and, like,
they'll just eliminate a whole row or a
whole column of the grid, and you, like,
just drop through the floor.
Gone.
Oh, all right.
So, yeah.
Sean says, Vicky,
I binge both seasons so good.
Physical, one hundred.
So that is so I could reinforce my
confidence that CrossFitters are the best
all around athletes.
Yeah.
Oh, she's saying no, not Mr. Beast.
Beastmaster must be something different.
Mr.
Beast has like he's in a second season
of like a physical challenge game, too.
I think I just called the Mr.
Beast games or something like that.
Yeah, I know.
I've heard of that one.
I'll have to look up Beastmaster.
Be careful.
You're going to get the movie.
Yeah.
I'm just thinking that, like,
that may not be something you want to
Google.
Probably not.
Probably not.
If you do,
make sure you got Safe Search on because
there's going to be some weird shit that
pops up.
Yeah.
Netflix Ultimate Beastmaster.
It's a physical comp like American Ninja
Warrior.
Oh, all right.
Yeah.
I was just thinking the Beast Games,
which is a physical competition as well.
But it's... Yeah.
Corey,
you made my husband laugh with the movie
reference.
Corey, you watched them all.
I did.
This isn't even like a thing, but...
Now that I'm older, right?
My mom is older.
My in-laws are older.
They call a lot.
I check in on my mom every day
now just because she lives alone and all
that kind of stuff.
But we sat down to watch The Running
Man,
and I was so excited because you were
saying it was closer to the Stephen King
book than the original.
Yep.
Every time I get into the movie,
one of our parents calls or my daughter
calls.
And then we have to stop.
Yeah.
So I am like,
it's back like when I had a two-year-old
where I'd watch and then they wake up
from the nap and you're like, shit,
now I got to take care of the
baby, pause.
Oh, dude, my son was home last night,
and we were talking about the trailers for
Doomsday that are like the little teaser
trailers that are all dropping.
So we were talking about that,
like what's coming up and whatnot,
and the fact that we didn't have to
go sit through Avatar to watch the
trailers because that was our original
plan.
And then I said, yeah,
I said the new season of... Oh,
it's the one based on a video game
that's on...
It's on Amazon.
Anyway, yeah,
so the new season of Fallout is out,
I said,
but I haven't had a chance to watch
it yet because my eight-year-old insists
on being attached to me every time I
sit on the couch.
But I'm super excited about that.
Yeah, I was telling my wife,
Walter Goggins is everywhere now.
That dude is all over the place.
Every Walmart commercial, Goggins Goggles,
whatever for the website thing.
And then he's on White Lotus.
He's on Fallout.
Gosh, he's in every damn show.
He's really good in Fallout.
Like, I really,
really like him in Fallout.
I haven't dove in because I have a
bad relationship with that video game.
I got lost in the desert for a
long time getting eaten by coyotes.
So just had a hard time.
yeah so but i think i'll i'll check
it out at some point it's good dude
it's really really good i have no idea
about the video game but the series is
it was fun to watch the video game
is cool it's just it's like post-nuclear
And the last one I played was four.
You're in Boston.
You can actually go into Fenway Park and
look through the rubble and stuff like
that.
But if you get lost,
there's these radioactive wolves,
I guess they are, in the desert,
and they attack you.
And the problem is if you die and
your last save was with very little life,
you're just in an infinite loop of...
death that's terrible yeah that sounds
terrible um so anyway uh what else do
i have uh betting did you see the
news this morning i did not
So all week I've been talking about, like,
anything that makes, like,
watching sports you more invested makes it
better.
And I think one of the things is
sports betting makes sports you more
invested in watching because you put two
dollars on this game and you want it
to turn out the way you bet, right?
Well,
it was announced that twenty college
basketball players are now being charged
with point saving.
Because betting is so prominent now.
Yeah.
And so my question to you is,
I do think like if you brought some
sports betting to CrossFit,
it would make people more invested because
people will bet on anything.
And it's so made for betting on things
and prop bets and all that kind of
stuff, right?
Yeah.
But is it worth the risk?
Because this year alone we've had,
one of the last four months,
we've had the NBA bust players for fixing
prop bets.
We've had Major League Baseball find
pitchers that were fixing prop bets.
And now we have twenty NCAA Division one
basketball players being charged with
point shaving.
And that's just now.
That's not the stuff that's odd.
Cause there's a whole, uh,
thirty for thirties about.
Yeah.
People, people doing, uh,
people doing that stuff.
I think it's a slippery slope, man.
I really, really do.
I don't gamble at all.
Like talking about, I might,
I might buy a Powerball ticket if it
gets up to a billion dollars again.
Like that's literally where, where,
where we're at.
Um, I don't,
I don't fault anybody for doing it.
I mean,
you want to light your money on fire,
go for it.
Um, I really don't care.
But I think it's a real slippery slope
because of that.
Because in our sport,
it'd be a lot easier to do as
far as the fixing is concerned because you
can slow down.
That's really all you got to do.
Or only put, well, what's the line?
Oh, they say I'm going to snatch .
Well,
I'm going to bet the under because I'm
going to go ahead and snatch .
Well, here's where it fails.
And because of technology,
you find the cheaters faster.
Because like in the NBA,
when the guy said his prop bet that
he was going to get the over under
was six points in the game and he
gets hurt in the first quarter.
So he doesn't even play the full game,
doesn't get the points.
But so many people bet the under on
it that it tipped off the algorithm that
said, no way is this a real bet.
People knew ahead of time.
And so they dumped the money on that
bet.
And that's how they're catching these
people now because of technology.
And it's legal now, right?
So they can actually run these algorithms.
Back in the day of, hey,
I got to go find my bookie at
the seven eleven so I can like place
a bet on something.
He wasn't running any algorithms.
No.
Not at all.
They were actually setting lines.
Right.
So.
So I'm a guy that like puts in
twenty five dollars at the beginning of
the football season and I'll occasionally
throw a bet.
Right.
Just for fun.
And I and I max out at that
for the year.
And at the end of this season,
I had I had twenty four dollars left
in my account.
Easy, Scott.
No, crazy.
So like first week of the playoffs,
I said, all right,
I'm going to bet on every game that's
not the Bears or the Steelers.
The games I'm not invested in,
I'm going to put two dollars and fifty
cents on the line and see.
And I went four for four.
So now I have thirty seven dollars in
my bank, in my account.
But it made me watch the other games.
more intently because I wanted to see if
my two-fifty was going to turn into
four-seventy-five.
I might make enough to buy two cans
of C-IV whenever I stop at the gas
station instead of one.
But that's my point.
It doesn't take a lot of money for
me to get now more interested or more
invested.
Sure.
You.
But then there's those guys that are...
There's going to be the degenerate gambler
that's throwing ten grand on...
And it needs a pair of shoes or
whatever.
I'm going to put ten grand on whether
the coin flip is head or tails.
You can bet on anything.
I know.
It's insanity.
Bananas.
Great.
And there's odds on it.
It doesn't matter what it is.
Could you think about CrossFit, though?
Will Jason Hopper go unbroken on X?
What's the over-under on will he finish
below or above this time?
Yeah, and there's like long-term ones,
right,
where you can put it at the beginning
of the season and whatever that looks
like, will Tia win again?
Yep.
Right.
Bet that under.
Who will win the CrossFit Games?
Yeah,
who's going to win the CrossFit Games this
year?
Who's going to win WFP?
Who's going to win Rogue?
Pick a thing.
It doesn't really matter.
Yeah,
it's something that I do think would bring
more eyes to the sport side of things.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely would.
The problem is that once Vegas gets
involved,
you end up with situations like you end
up with right now with the twenty guys
in the NCAA because that's a good thing
or a bad thing.
Well, it depends on who you ask, right?
Uh, any publicity is good.
Publicity says, I said some, so, uh,
you know, oh, these guys got busted for,
you know,
and then that's another sanction that
you're going to put on athletes at that
point.
Right.
Because if.
You know,
kale layman gets caught shaving reps.
Yeah,
the open bets would be like – Oh,
my God.
Can you imagine?
Well, you can't, right?
Unless you have video proof,
you can't bet on it.
Oh, you can?
No, I know that.
But no,
I'm saying you can't because like who's
right and who's wrong, right?
So KL does three open workouts,
no proof whatsoever because we have no
video evidence of it whatsoever
whatsoever.
And then people are going to be betting
on who's going to win blah, blah, blah,
whatever.
Well,
you got no proof as to who won
other than what's on the leaderboard.
Well, here's the best ones.
They like quarterfinals.
You,
you bet Ariel low and to win event
three of quarterfinals and she wins and
you're like, oh my gosh, I won.
And then a week later, CrossFit says, no,
we're going to penalize her back.
She goes and now she's in your scores
have been invalidated.
So you're like, son of a bitch.
Yeah.
And so how do you handle that?
Because by that point,
it's already been paid out.
Well,
you would have to make it where it
doesn't pay out until the result is final.
Said degenerate gamblers will not like
that at all.
Yeah.
Waiting for a week on whether their bet
is good or bad.
Yeah.
Can you imagine?
Like most people are betting that money
because they think they're going to win
right then and there.
And I need this money yesterday.
Yeah.
Not, oh, three weeks from now,
CrossFit puts out a thing saying, or,
okay, here's,
Kale Damon wins the CrossFit,
not even the Open, wins the Games.
And then three months later,
he gets popped for drugs.
All right.
We need to get our shit together more
before we dive into gambling.
Just talking out loud,
there's too many issues at this point.
It's a lot of variables.
It's a lot of variables.
It can happen in the NFL, right?
Like you pick the Chiefs to win the
Super Bowl and Patrick Mahomes pops for
drugs and he has to sit out four
games.
You're bet sitting out to go on.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
And Patrick Mahomes does not test a
positive for anything.
I just was throwing out a name.
This has been a Clydesdale media
disclaimer.
This has been a Clydesdale media
disclaimer.
We are not endorsing the fact that whether
or not Patrick Mahomes is.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I just wanted to throw it out there
because I saw that today, and, like,
I see these issues coming up, but, like,
it's just getting big.
Like,
half of the ads during a sporting event
are betting apps.
BetRateSixtyFive.
BetThis.
MGM.
DraftKings.
DraftKings.
Yeah, they're all – I mean,
there's just a ton of them.
And they're all offering you free bets to
get you.
First one's free.
Come on.
First one's free.
Come on, kids.
Five bucks on us.
Come on in.
And if it hits,
we'll give you two hundred dollars of free
bets.
Yeah.
Then what are you going to do with
that?
Oh.
No thanks.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I already have enough –
addictions that I feed between CrossFit
and shoes that I don't,
I don't really need to,
I don't really need to add any more
to that.
Meredith says, this is how rumors start.
I know.
Yeah.
We're going to end up on sports center.
You know what I'm saying?
The media claims that Patrick is taking
HGH.
Understand leagues to athletes,
no betting leagues to betting companies.
Come sponsor us.
Can you imagine how Pete Rose feels?
Right?
Looking at that going.
This is what tells you how flipped the
world is, though.
Because protecting the integrity of the
sport is very, very crucial.
The minute a league becomes fixed,
people are done.
Yeah, a hundred percent.
Not watching that anymore.
So you can,
you can do steroids in the NFL and
it's four weeks suspension and nobody
gives a shit.
Bet one game while you're at the facility,
doesn't even have to be on your sport
and you're suspended for a year minimum.
Again, Vegas gets involved.
It's a whole different thing at that
point.
Right.
Cause it's not just, so if, if,
you know,
whoever gets popped for steroids.
Like you said,
it's a four game suspension and they're
right back in it.
And chances are better than not.
It doesn't necessarily affect the season
unless it's somebody super import.
So Vegas doesn't give a shit about that.
They can make odds around that.
What they can't make odds around is if
somebody gets or can't control is somebody
doing that and putting their money on it.
And you don't know what kind of influence
that they're actually having on the game
that they're playing.
It's a much bigger picture at that point.
It's kind of like this analogy,
like you buy a tiger because the tiger's
cool and it brings people to the stadium.
And you tell the players,
you got to feed the tiger three times
a day, but don't let them bite you.
But you've got to feed him by hand.
Right.
Yeah.
Joseph Ramirez,
MLB Hall of Fame is rigged.
I, I. Yeah.
I don't know when Mark McGuire and Sammy
Sosa were hitting all the home runs,
MLB could not get them on TV enough.
And then they pop for steroids and they're
like,
we don't want anything to do with you.
You're not allowed in our hall of fame.
You're not,
you were soaking up the cash when the
ratings were through the roof and you were
letting it slide until people got wind.
And then you act all high and mighty
and don't let them in your...
It's like they were shocked.
Wait a minute.
Those guys are on steroids?
Really?
Martin McGuire just hit a ball,
five hundred and eighty-five feet.
Yes, he's on steroids.
He can't even straighten his arm.
It's like this the whole time.
His bicep is so big he can't straighten
his arm.
Oh, God.
You had to know.
He went up three hat sizes.
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
Look at him from when he started his
career to when he got popped.
It's not hard to figure out.
Like you don't need to be a rocket
surgeon.
All of them.
All of them.
Bonds, Sosa, McGuire, Clemens.
All of them.
I think they should all be in the
hall of fame.
I watched baseball more then than I do
now.
Daniel Tosh had a bit.
That's probably one of the funniest things
I've ever heard regarding is that I want
all my professional athletes to be on
steroids.
Let's see what they can really do.
There's a great live skit about the
steroid games.
Yeah, juice him up.
Goes to lift in his arms,
pull out of the socket,
and blood splurts everywhere.
Let's go.
Juice him up.
Let's see what happens.
Fill the pooper.
I've gone up three belt sizes.
I'm not doing steroids yet.
Yeah.
It'd be like that sometimes.
Yeah.
It'd be like that sometimes.
I kind of feel what you're saying there,
buddy.
Yeah.
All right.
Well,
I got to get back to this God
awful meeting.
It's been a fun day.
Glad we could talk about some weird stuff.
Hold on for a second.
I have a fork you can use if
you need it.
Jab me right in that eye.
All right.
With that,
don't forget to check out our sponsor,
Thirdsy.
Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
Gets you fifteen percent off at checkout.
Yeah.
With that,
we're going to head out of here.
We'll be back tomorrow.
We're not going to do a Sunday night
show this week.
We are either going to do it another
night or something.
But the Bears game is Sunday night.
So I my Bears have not made it
this far in the playoffs.
I am not doing a show during a
Bears game.
Fair point.
Not going to.
Not going to.
So with that,
we'll be here tomorrow for sure.
And then I'll let you know kind of
when we'll do.
And Jamie had something going on this
Sunday anyway.
So we'll figure something out and we'll
get a show up somewhere, somehow,
some way.
With that,
we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
with the Clients Day.
