Big Dog gets to run in the last
heat at Magic City.
Let's talk about it 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 man.
It's lunch time.
What is going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Here we are on a Thursday.
Today's going to have to be a quick
show as I have a one o'clock meeting.
And it's one of those meetings where
people responded back and said,
most of my team can't be here.
Can we postpone this meeting until they
can?
No, we can't.
We're going to anyway,
even though we're probably going to have
to have a meeting after this meeting for
all the people that missed this meeting
and talk about the same thing we talked
about in this meeting.
This meeting could have been an email.
Oh,
it is the most infuriating thing ever to
me.
I understand.
I understand.
My wife has those type of meetings almost
every single day of her life.
And she's not a fan of you.
So I got a problem, man.
I got, I got something.
i have a massive addiction and i can't
kick it right now oh sweet baby jesus
is this an intervention it's it's pickles
man oh well i can understand that what
kind uh right now it's clausen dill
pickles i can't i i think i'm keeping
clausens in
in the black first putting classes
children through college yeah i i can't i
think about pickles i crave pickles i and
it's it's been since i've had this heart
ablation like i just can't get enough
pickles
Sitting there thinking,
I wonder if pickles are thinking about me.
I wonder if pickles love me like I
love them.
Like I love them.
Got to get on those Grillo's pickles.
I like Grillo's pickles.
I find them inconsistent.
Well,
I think it's because of the nature of
how they're made.
right i would one hundred percent agree
with that i love gorillas pickles but
sometimes you get them and there's a like
you can see all the stuff floating in
there with them the dill and the garlic
and all that stuff and then sometimes you
get them it's just sitting in the juice
that's probably not great for consistency
uh see my same love them yeah i'm
a big fan we don't actually yeah no
calories could be worse
Yeah,
cucumbers are basically just wet water,
wet air.
I mean... Yeah,
if it didn't have so much salt in
it, I'm sure that they'd be fine.
They'd be like the magic food.
About two weeks ago,
they had like a miniature farmer's market
at Jennifer's actual office whenever she
happened to go buy an atrium over there.
And she bought some pickles from somebody
that made some homemade or whatever.
So she got home and said...
So are these like,
are these bread and butter or these just
regular dill or these whatever?
And she goes, I'm really not sure.
They didn't have them labeled.
I saw pickles.
I like pickles.
I want pickles.
I was like, okay, cool.
I opened them up and I,
we've had this discussion.
I like spicy food.
Holy smoke.
They're still in the refrigerator.
I've had a couple.
This dude was serious.
A couple months back,
I ordered these Jersey pickles and
Saw them online, thought, what the hell?
And I got one plastic tub of firecracker
pickles.
Okay.
So the other night,
I was out at Clawson's, and I'm desperate,
and I put a big pile of firecracker
pickles in a bowl,
and I sat down just...
And because I'm craving them,
I'm just pounding them.
My mouth was so on fire.
Oh, yeah, dude.
So I made Jameson a burger last night
before her game,
and she looked in the fridge.
She saw those pickles in there,
and she said, Daniel, those pickles,
can I have some of them?
And I was like, you can,
but I don't think it's a real good
idea.
She's like, oh, no.
They're bad, dude.
And I think it's hard to balance when
you're making it,
and that's sort of a fact, right,
to go, I want to make it spicy,
but I don't want to make it so
spicy that people can't actually eat them.
Or only cycle pass eat them,
which both things could be true.
Seamus says,
Gorillas pickles mixed with Red Bull
before a bike ride is clutch.
No cramps.
You know,
football teams keep pickle juice on the
sidelines.
Yeah.
No,
I'm a hundred percent agree with pickle
juice on the sideline thing.
I understand that good for cramps and all
that stuff,
but I'm trying to picture Red Bull and
pickle juice together.
And I'm having a hard time with that.
What flavor Red Bull are we talking about?
right is it like original red bull that
nobody knows exactly what that's supposed
to taste like other than rich red bull
flavored pickled diversify the foods
pickle oak road pickled fruit i like pick
i do i like pickled onions on my
sandwich i like pickled cauliflower um i
like i like a chicago beef sandwich with
the gardenier on there that has the
pickled celery and carrots and cauliflower
Yeah, I like pickled everything.
Big fan of pickled okra.
Big fan.
I really hate pickled fruit.
Joseph Ramirez just bought the
pickle-flavored Red Bull.
A regular.
Add a lime.
Are we talking cocaine?
Oh, wait.
A lime.
Oh, a lime, not a line.
I thought Zima was out there on a
bike riding the snake, man.
Let's go!
There was an old...
Jim Carrey was on Saturday Night Live one
time doing a guy who was trying to
sell his weight loss program.
And the whole premise was snort cocaine.
And he could just ride the snake, baby.
Ride the snake.
It's fantastic.
yeah no lines no lines it's probably a
bad idea uh ever do pickleback jameson and
pickle juice i've not i have had jameson
and ginger ale which is extremely good
scarily good i am not a jameson fan
and uh that was my before i started
drinking actual bourbon that was my go-to
for a good long time was uh
Israel, Jameson, Irish whiskey,
Jameson and ginger ale.
It'll give you an interesting night.
Pickleback is what Hopper and Pepper do on
the weekends.
Ouch.
Joseph wants to let us know that cocaine
is a hell of a drug.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
So enough about the pickles.
Our girl Holly says,
took a little sabbatical.
She's back, better than ever,
and she put out the Magic City list
of athletes,
and you can sort it by open finish,
you can sort it by quarterfinal finish,
and she put every region that the person
was in.
So, full disclosure,
I was having a conversation with David
Johnson last night, and, like,
Just kind of, I said,
because we got that email yesterday about,
you know, heat schedules coming up,
whatnot.
And I kept thinking about it.
And I said,
I wonder if I gave Holly this information,
if she could do a simulated, basically,
heat schedule based by our quarterfinal
rankings.
Turns out she can.
Oh, yeah.
So, like,
I messaged her last night and I said,
hypothetically.
I said, hypothetically,
if you had the list of people who
are going and you just –
pulled that data plus the quarterfinals
finish.
You get to hypothetically make a heat
schedule.
And she said, you got the list?
And I said, yeah.
And today we have that.
She says she's going to get on.
She had some meetings and stuff this
morning,
but she's going to put one out for
all the rest of them as well.
Well, the spreadsheet's out.
It has every age group for Magic City.
I think she's working on Legends maybe
now.
She's going to do Legends.
She's going to do LATAM.
When I talked to her this morning,
she said she's going to do all of
them.
So you're the reason I got a two
a.m.
text asking if this would be good as
an Instagram post.
At two in the morning.
Jesus, Holly, get some sleep, dude.
That's the problem.
When you give Holly a project like this,
she is like so focused that she just
like goes.
Oh, and she was excited.
Like I just,
cause I messaged her out of the blue.
And the first thing I said was
hypothetical.
And it was probably nine o'clock last
night, my time.
I don't know where she lives when I
messaged her.
Nebraska.
Okay.
So she's an hour behind more than likely.
So it's probably eight o'clock her time.
she's like yeah sure and i woke up
to it this morning uh larry young shelley
ah now i can people can see how
bad i am look we are just showing
up to do our part repping the masters
community listen here's the thing here's
the thing and i i want all the
masters athletes to know this you have
this opportunity where you get to go
compete in person
The fallacy of the qualification process
for Masters for years has been it's all
been online and nothing has been checked.
Right.
So whatever the score people put in has
never been double checked,
has never been looked at for movement,
quality, any of those things.
And when you get to the Masters age
group games,
and I've been to a lot of them
now,
you see a group of people who do
not belong there.
Getting into this in-person semifinal
gives you opportunities that you would not
have otherwise to show that your shit is
legit.
I'm sorry.
Show that you belong.
Two years ago,
Jamie qualified for the games in twenty
second place, took fourth.
Yep.
Hayley,
the person who worked with Hayley Adams in
between... Her name's also Hayley.
Hayley... I know who she is.
She was a backfill last person in at
the games and podiumed.
Correct.
Because that is how skewed the online
version...
It's not Murano.
That's my car.
But it's close.
Murillo.
Murillo.
Murillo.
Murillo.
Yeah.
Murillo.
And so Haley Murillo was a last-minute
backfill for the games and podiumed.
That's how skewed the online thing is.
So to be able to go compete in
person gives you your first legit shot to
prove your shit is legit.
I love it, dude.
Tristan chiming in about Jamie.
Damn right she did.
Right.
And so that's what I say to everybody.
Regardless of what your quarterfinal
number is,
if it is legit and you put the
work in,
you have a shot because you don't know
what's above you.
And here's the thing, dude, sign up,
go attend, put it on the floor.
Why wouldn't you?
And I saw the fact you can't afford
to.
The only reason if you, that's, that's,
that's, in my opinion,
that's a solid reason.
You can't afford to,
you have other prior commitments.
You got kids in sports,
you got stuff going on.
Got it.
Makes sense.
Other than that,
Those two things,
you've got private commitments or you
can't afford to,
if you're going to sign up and then
not go to be in person,
in my opinion, you're missing out.
Let's leave it like that.
I don't want to be,
I'm trying to not be negative, Nancy,
but you're missing out on an opportunity
to get out there and put yourself to
the test.
Yeah,
and you get the opportunity to be in
the last heat.
You know David Johnson.
You've seen David Johnson compete in
person.
I've seen David Johnson.
But other than that,
I couldn't tell you who's who above you.
Right.
And we're going to find out in a
couple weeks if what they put in during
the opening quarters was legit.
There's nine dudes on there in my age
group specifically that I have absolutely
no idea who they are.
Never competed with them, never seen them,
never, you know,
they have no Instagram presence or I've
never seen their Instagram stuff.
Like I follow a lot of people in
my age group in forty,
forty four and in fifty, fifty four.
Right.
So.
For there to be nine people on that
list that I have absolutely no idea who
they are now,
there's also three or four people that I
consider to be really good friends.
that I've competed with that I know are
legit.
And for whatever reason, you know,
they just had a bad quarterfinals
experience or whatnot and end up,
you know, they're lower down on,
on that list.
But I know what's going to happen when
they get there in person.
Like I know what these dudes do.
I know what they can do.
It's going to be,
it's going to be a hell of a
time.
Um, thirty, thirty-five or thirty, uh,
thirty-five, thirty-four, excuse me,
thirty-five, thirty-nine is stacked.
Yeah.
in male.
I didn't look at the female,
but like Marquand Jones is there.
One of our athletes is actually at the
very top of that list.
There is going to be some good races
in thirty-five, thirty-nine.
And Marquand is sixth.
Yeah, there you go.
According to quarterfinals.
There you go.
Lito, this year especially,
you don't know who's above you.
Correct.
Uh, Tristan fun fact,
one of Jamie's events at the games that
year is still one of my top five
favorite coaching moments ever on the bike
chest to bar event.
Cause we,
nobody thought Jamie was going to win
that.
And she won that event.
That is a power output event.
And Jamie is tiny.
She's not a big person.
Not at all, dude.
And she's light.
She is light in the ass.
She is not heavy.
She'd be the first one to tell you
that.
And she eats like it's her job.
Like the whole thing doesn't make any
sense,
but she's just one of them people that
she can eat whatever the hell she wants
and doesn't gain any weight.
She's all muscle.
Like she's probably,
if she's not nine percent body fat on
a daily basis,
I would be shocked or any more than
that, I should say.
Yeah,
for her to come out and just smash
that one, dude.
I remember when that happened.
That was good stuff.
Mark Phillips, the higher you are,
the more confidence you have in who's
above you to some extent, though.
Of course you do,
but you all now have this legit judging,
hopefully,
and you all have the same floor set
up.
You all have the same rig.
You all have the same bikes.
It is as even of a playing field
as you're going to get at this point
in the season, ever.
Yeah.
I'm a fan, dude.
I'm a fan.
I know people are still complaining about,
oh,
whatever they're going to complain about,
the invite process where there's people,
but it is what it is.
The test is the test.
This is what the test that they have
laid out in front of us.
If you don't like it,
you don't have to participate.
It's just that easy.
Or if you think it's rigged or if
you think it's whatever or you want to
do it from the comfort of your gym,
by all means, please do.
But the rest of us are going to
go try to do it in person and
see what we got.
Joseph Ramirez says he's coming for you
next year, Corey.
Bring it, brother.
Bring it.
Wayne wants to know,
did I catch Ben's discussion last night
about legend invite issues?
I did.
And I looked at legends.
Who
Man, the lineup there.
Give me a quick and dirty version.
I have no idea.
They got too many people in than they
were supposed to have.
They didn't get enough people in some age
groups.
What I find interesting is there's a good
six,
eight people from Mayhem signed up for
them next week.
Ain't no way they're going to do
back-to-back weeks.
No.
No.
That would be silly at the least.
French Rodin is stacked and there's only
ten of us.
Yeah, but Lito, you're... Yeah,
but you're one of the ten, Lito.
I love how all of us that are
in that kind of position still think that
everybody else is just going to smash us.
The only person I know who's just like,
I'm about to come kick everybody's ass is
Colton Mertens.
That's the only person I know who says
stuff like that out loud.
Running a comp sign up like a sneaker
drop.
It is what it is, man.
So bring up Tristan's right there.
The one right below it?
This one?
Yeah.
I know an athlete who's in the two
nineties and quarters and got to invite to
legends.
There's a dude in my age group that
was finished three ninety seventh who has
come into Magic City.
OK, so here's thirty five to thirty nine.
I have Holly spreadsheet up.
And so don't blame legends.
It's it's not a legends thing.
Just here's Magic City.
I will blow up.
This is thirty five to thirty nine.
That's quarterfinals finish.
Yep.
That's Josh.
I actually know what I do.
Six forty.
There's all those three hundreds.
There's all those two hundreds.
Yep.
And then when you get up towards the
top,
like there's a big split right in that
area.
Yep.
And then so Nick is a that's an
email company athlete.
And apparently Rob Thomas is no longer
singing with Matchbox twenty and is going
to
It's going to be at Magic City.
Nice.
Sorry, that's a music joke.
I can't help myself.
And here's the big dog.
Tim,
you can take Tim's name off of there.
He withdrew.
His knees all jacked up.
Ellie Turner finished six ninety six and
quarters and she'll be at Torian Pro
allegedly.
Okay, but for the elites,
they're taking a top two thousand.
But for the masters age group,
it was supposed to be top four hundred.
Right.
If you took six ninety,
I can't remember the number she said.
Yeah.
Six ninety six.
There were six hundred ninety five other
options before her.
And you know that nobody was like they
didn't get a six ninety four.
Before they saw, oh, look,
Ellie's two spots below us.
Like, we should probably invite her.
Damn, can I get an invite?
I was in the six hundreds.
Yeah, Andrew, Tim is a very good dude.
I met him at Legends this year.
He is cool as shit.
He's been battling something with his
knee,
trying to do as much rehab as he
could,
and it's just not going to work out
for him.
He's going to try to – he's hopefully
going to try to go online route that
weekend,
and it's still going to be dependent on
whether he can actually do the workouts.
So basically when they come up,
he's going to take a look at it
and see what he can do.
CrossFat actually got a transcript of the
text message to Ellie Turner.
It is.
Can you RX a workout?
Can you bring your boyfriend?
Probably.
I think that's official.
CrossFat got that officially from the
Torium Pro,
the text that was sent to Ellie Turner.
It means people are declining or skipping
or they're skipping people.
I think they're skipping people.
If they have a shot at Justin Medeiros,
they're going to take a shot.
Because who doesn't want to see Jay
Crouch, Ricky Garrard,
and Justin Medeiros thrown out?
Especially because Justin already pulled
out a one.
Right.
CrossFit, his sources are Diana Rossini.
Diana has been answering questions about
her boyfriend lately.
So she got the deets on Ellie Turner's
boyfriend.
If you have not been following the Diana
Rossini saga,
which I talked about last week and the
alleged photos and affair with the
Patriots head coach,
she resigned from the athletic.
Oh, did she?
She did.
But not because she's guilty.
No, of course not.
Because she needed to take time for
herself.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure.
Sure.
Sure.
I do think a good number of people
are declining.
I agree, Tristan,
but I don't think six hundred ninety five
did.
Probably not.
Probably not.
I'm going to go ahead and say probably
not.
I would have like,
if I could afford to go to Australia,
I'd put my name on the Australian list
and go computer tutorial pro in the
master's division.
Yes, sir.
Have you seen the videos from that place?
Absolutely.
And I don't have to worry about not
speaking the language.
I mean,
and I get to go to Australia.
which is completely on the other side.
If you went to Australia,
they wouldn't understand you one bit.
That's fine.
That's fine.
I can write in English.
It's not a big deal.
I can carry a notepad with me.
Oi, what's this Cajun stuff?
We probably have a hard time understanding
each other.
Probably by the first hour or two I
was there.
Damn sure.
I can eat a koala.
Thank you very much, CrossFit.
Um, tell me how to live my life.
I hear they're mean,
they look cute and adorable, but they're,
they get really mean.
If you, uh, disrupt them,
try to eat them.
Yeah.
I mean,
I would be pretty mean if you had
to eat me as well.
We talking about it.
Hmm.
I can't wait to meet.
Um, where, where is, uh, Mr. Young, Mr.
Young,
is your son coming to watch your watch
his mom compete at, uh,
Like it's John Young coming to Magic City
to come watch his mom compete.
Like I'm kind of excited about that.
Ellie definitely got a special invite in
Madaris because they're not on the Torium
Pro Qualifier leaderboard on Comp Corner.
How many blocks are in a marsupial?
I hear it's a lean,
it's a lean meat.
So probably eat blocks and some.
But your fat blocks,
you'll need to add a couple almonds in
or something.
Yeah.
All they eat is, what is it?
It's some kind of leaf.
Eucalyptus.
Eucalyptus.
All they eat is eucalyptus.
And meat probably tastes minty.
Says he has the winner.
John Young.
does he know uh rumor historian didn't
seek out justin he asked so ellie could
get an invite to allegedly the rumor mill
is just full of stuff that's why you
got to tune in to dense updates every
morning on instagram and twice a week on
youtube
I like it.
I like her stuff.
I enjoy it.
He thinks Marissa Flowers is going to win.
Marissa Flowers,
if you have never met her in person,
you need to.
She is the tiniest, cuss like a sailor,
woman i've ever met in my life she
and she is hilarious she is funny and
for four foot ten and three quarters or
whatever she is when she did the overhead
walking lunges to finish syndicate or mac
a couple years ago yeah and it was
like over her body weight and i think
she finished top ten in that event love
it
If she was,
if she was four inches taller,
she would have been a games athlete.
Uh, if Fran was only in it.
Yeah.
She holds a world record for Fran.
And it's a minute.
It's a second or so.
One four.
Yeah.
I've seen the video, dude.
It was some, it's ridiculous.
Alito says she's going to win the games
too.
I don't know because it's the same problem
that Colton has, like Jamie has,
that she can overcome her size for a
limited amount of time,
but the toll of an entire weekend or
three-day comp is tough on her.
I've been a fan of hers for five
years.
It would be on anybody else.
What's that?
Tougher than it would be on anybody else.
Right.
She can overcome it for an event or
two and do something that your jaw will
hit the floor.
But to hold that for three days is
tough.
Yeah.
If she was Leto's height,
and Leto is not a tall person,
she would win the games.
For sure.
But if you see her at Magic City,
go introduce yourself.
You'll thank me later.
She is a rock star.
I mean,
I'm going to be there all weekend,
so I'm leaving here one week.
No, not one week, two weeks.
It's not next weekend.
It's the weekend after that.
I'm leaving at Thursday morning,
driving up.
I'll get there.
Should be right about noon-ish,
something like that.
Check-in starts at like twelve,
twelve-thirty.
Go do that.
Go get into my Airbnb.
Get kind of settled in and come back
later at night.
We got athlete briefing.
Mandatory athlete briefing at six p.m.
So we'll see.
NAI,
I don't know if I could do the
twenty ones a friend in one thirty
something.
Yeah, it it's on YouTube.
Go check it out.
Marissa Flowers.
And it's wild to watch.
There is no wasted movement.
She never stops.
It is wild to watch.
I think my fastest was.
Two to fifty.
I have to run soon,
but I did want to address the first
question that came in.
And that was that Mr. Ryan State,
Leo Messi is being sued for not playing
in a friendly.
If you don't know who Leo Messi is,
he is a world-famous soccer player.
He's the best I ever knew.
How enforceable do you think it would be
for semifinal dropouts to act as a
deterrent?
I don't think it is a viable option
at all.
leo messi probably has a contract in which
he he stated that he would go to
the friendlies and he is probably in
breach of therefore he can be sued
crossfit athletes do not sign a contract
when they sign up for semi-finals and so
there is no legal deterrent in them
withdrawing yeah uh conversely not only do
they not sign a contract you pay your
own money to go
registration fees, the whole nine yards.
So yeah, no, thank you.
We're not a thing.
Well, I hate to cut today short,
but I do got to get up there
for this meeting.
Other than that,
hope you guys have a great rest of
your day.
We'll be back tomorrow as mayhem kicks
off.
I know Siobhan's going live later tonight
because Jenny, Taylor,
Bryson are all going to be on site.
um and i think jenny's already there
bryson and taylor getting there tonight uh
pedro's going pedro's got somebody at two
o'clock my time rich rich yeah just just
that little known you probably want to you
probably want to take a look at that
yeah go check out coffee pods and wads
at two with rich froning
And other than that, we'll talk tomorrow.
And we got Vicki on site.
She's going to be my eyes and ears
telling me what's going on.
And we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
with Clydesdale.
Bye, guys.
