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.
Don't forget to boot me.
What's going on, everybody?
We are live.
It's a lunchtime minus the cowboy.
Sad.
From the gym to the screen, yeah,
we cover it all.
Midday motivation every time you press
call.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
Cowboy bring the heat.
Crossfit, boobies, music on repeat.
Half hour hustle, yeah,
we building that brand.
Grab a plate, tune in now,
you part of the fam.
It's lunchtime.
What's going on, everybody?
Welcome to Lunch with Clydesdale and the
Cowboy.
As you notice across the top of your
screen,
I have made a new graphic to include
the cowboy.
And when I did that,
he decided not to show up.
It actually,
like in the history of this show,
every time I add the cowboy to an
element of what we're doing,
he misses the next show.
So I am the cause of his back
injury.
Apparently.
I guess he just did a little tweak
of the back.
He's trying to get in with PT,
trying to get that scheduled now.
I'm sure we'll talk about it later in
the show or in the week or whatever.
So...
So Vicki and I held a team meeting
this morning, minus the cowboy.
And she had a great idea.
And so we're going to run with it.
I'm going to run with it.
In honor of Daniel Arnson,
we are going to have a weekly Dumb
Dumb Stupid Pants award.
And we're going to take nominees through
the week.
and we will put up the nominees in
a poll on Friday,
and every week we will have an answer
or a winner of the Dumb Dumb Stupid
Pants Award.
So, hypothetically,
the Masters athletes do not know what
their pay will be for winning the CrossFit
Games.
That would be a nominee...
of crossfit hq for not following their own
rule book telling them what their prize
purse would be they would be a nominee
for the dumb dumb stupid pants award
unlike crossfit i'm not going to put
anything in
a rule book because I want it to
be open.
I want the nominees to be from all
over the place.
I want you guys to be creative in
who might be the dumb, dumb, stupid pants.
And so you can put that in the
comments on the YouTube channel,
or you can DM me with a dumb,
dumb, stupid pants nominee.
I am sure that we will have our
own nominees through the week.
And with that,
we just need a brief explanation as to
why this thing or this person deserves the
Dumb Dumb Stupid Pants Award this week.
So, with that...
I saw a lot of people dancing to
the theme song.
Yes,
we dance almost every day to the theme
song, just so you know, behind the scenes.
So the fact that you guys are dancing
out there,
it's pretty freaking awesome too.
So we can all call it the dance
party.
Avera,
given odds are high that we talk about
a movie or a song,
I want to recommend the movie Hostiles.
Now, how about some CrossFit talk?
Well, what I want to talk about, Avera,
I have not seen Hostiles.
I will put it on my list of
things to check out as long as it's
not a horror movie.
I don't watch horror movies.
That's like reading books to me.
Ken Walters, well,
now I can't comment in the chats anymore.
Why can't you comment in the chats?
um what we're gonna talk waza socal we
are it's on my list i promise um
what i want to talk about right now
though is last night i watched the season
debut of lioness you all know i am
a big taylor sheridan fan the unique thing
about lioness is it's the one show where
taylor sheridan is actually an actor that
plays a pretty big role
in the show and if you've never kept
captured lioness it is the first episode
of season three last night and it is
about a female operative with the cia and
they are put into places where maybe a
women a woman can could infiltrate where a
man couldn't um
It started off with a bang last night.
I'll just say that.
Something very dramatic happens in the
first five minutes of the show,
and then it goes back six months,
and it's going to lead up to why
what happened happened, I'm assuming.
But it is phenomenal.
And what it's great about is it makes
you think.
Nicole Kidman's husband in the show is...
I don't know what his exact...
is the exact background in the show is,
but I think he's like a professor.
He does analytical things about like why
the world ways works the way it does,
why politics work the way they do.
And oftentimes he makes statements that
just make you go,
is that really what's happening in the
world?
Because it makes way too much sense,
but it's also kind of scary.
they deal with topics that we're dealing
with in the world today and that's why
i really really enjoy it um i think
it's underrated for um i think it's
underrated for with the taylor sheridan
shows i think it's up there with the
best of them it is really really great
Um, John George, great show.
Now I'm going to have to go pay
to download season three.
Well, it's only episode one is out.
Um, so there you go.
Uh, Mark Phillips, he was in Yellowstone,
I guess not really a big part though.
Yeah.
He was like the horse trainer,
horse guy in Yellowstone.
Um,
he had like one little run where he
took Jimmy, uh,
down to the four sixes ranch, uh,
taught him more about like the horses and
all of that kind of stuff.
But in Lioness, he plays a major role.
He is the leader of a Delta force
as part of the Army,
and they always seem to come to blows
with the Lioness team.
Because Lioness is CIA,
Taylor Sheridan's group is Army,
and they battle over how strategic they
should be or what strategy they should
use.
So it's really good.
Uh, KDL, uh, got my shirt and stickers.
Many thanks.
My wife even complimented me on how I
looked wearing it.
Dude, I'm telling you,
the shirt makes people look good.
And I've gotten, um,
a couple of people have gotten their
shirts.
Uh, they have said how soft it is,
how comfortable it is.
So I'm getting really good feedback on
which I am so happy about because it
was kind of like a blind buy.
I went with a company, um,
And until they came in, I was really,
really afraid that they weren't going to
be good quality.
But they turned out to be really,
really nice.
So I'm really, really, really,
really happy about that.
I like how tiny Corey is compared to
the Clydesdale on the banner.
Nice touch.
Well, that is real life.
That is an authentic description.
I am a large five foot eleven human
being.
Corey is a very small four foot nine
individual.
I mean five foot four.
Sorry.
Did I say that wrong?
Someone said he had a role in...
So Taylor Sheridan actually started as an
actor.
And...
and then went into writing.
Uh,
so he's been an actor in a lot
of things.
Cause that was really his like precursor
to being who he is today,
but he didn't write sons of anarchy.
Um,
he just may have been in it as
a small role, but, uh, but he's,
I actually,
he is a total cock in lioness and
he plays that role so well,
my wife and I were commenting on it
last night after the show.
Um,
Wayne Short,
I just wish Taylor Sheridan would stop
getting distracted and finish season three
of Landman already.
Wayne, Landman is coming out in the fall.
It comes out every fall.
From what I understand, it's done filming.
It's done.
It's just waiting to come out.
It all comes in order.
You get Lioness, then you get Tulsa King,
and then they're adding Frisco King to
that, and then you get Landman.
Then we'll get the Dutton Ranch.
So you get a little bit of Taylor
Sheridan all year long.
Avera, is Corey really only five-four?
That is practically an adaptive athlete.
I don't know the specific height.
I just know he is shorter than I
am by a pretty stiff margin.
Did you know he wrote the Sicario movies?
I didn't.
I'll have to check those out.
I've heard they're really good.
I've never seen them, Joseph.
I'm going to have to check those out.
I've been interested.
I've had them in a queue before and
just never pulled the trigger.
So I need to check those out.
Wayne Short said,
I read an article that said they haven't
even started filming yet.
Uh, okay.
I'll do research.
I'll do more research, Wayne.
My bad.
Uh, the other thing we watched last night,
if you guys haven't seen it,
the new Will Ferrell show on Netflix
called the Hawk or just Hawk.
Uh, and he's a golfer.
If you just need something silly to watch,
uh,
what i like about it is i lioness
i'm thinking a lot the hawk i don't
have to think at all like i can
go totally brain dead with that one my
wife laughs very hard at the hawk i
i chuckle and i think it's pretty cute
and funny um there's some really funny
parts she like all out laughs belly laughs
at the thing
So we're working our way through some
shows.
My other big favorite show right now is
a show called Ride or Die on Prime,
and it's Hannah Waddingham and the lady
from The Help and Hidden Figures.
Why can't I think of her name off
the top of my head?
But anyway, it's really good.
It's really good, too.
Ken Walters,
I'm so glad I don't watch hours upon
hours of any series at all.
Where do you all find the time for
all these?
I have so much other stuff to do.
At least with podcasts,
I can listen and work.
I don't know.
I do all my things and then at
the end of the night,
that's how I decompress, Ken.
But there are times in the year where
there is no good TV.
So then you kind of catch up on
the stuff that you miss throughout the
year.
Octavia Spencer.
Yes, thank you, Johnny Hayes.
Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham.
It is a really good spy thriller on
Prime.
You should check that out.
Most of the stuff I run on my
second monitor during work.
I do do some of that.
Some days I just can't do the podcast
thing anymore.
Some days I need to escape like the
CrossFit world and just do something that
gets my mind off of.
Lito,
I watched all four seasons of From in
about a week.
Eleven hour flights to and from the US
helped to and now working my way through
silo I've heard silos really good, too.
I have not dove into that one yet
Ted lasso comes out this week season four
of Ted lasso.
That's one of my favorite all-time shows.
I Cannot wait for that to come out
this week,
too speaking of silo that's on Apple TV
uh vicky is saying uh ddsp nomination in
the bucket for people that watch too much
tv we got it
So speaking of podcasts, I sent, oh,
Joseph Ramirez.
Go ahead.
Applying to be CFO.
I know jack about it,
but I couldn't be the worst applicant.
Well, speaking of that,
Barbell Spin just posted a memo from the
chief people's officer of CrossFit and
what they're looking for in a CFO.
If she can pull that up real quick,
like, can you forward to the memo?
Are you able to blow that up Vicki
for me?
Oh, there we go.
But so anyway,
we are hiring our next CFO.
This is a job for someone who wants
to help redefine what's possible and not
just balance the books.
For twenty five years,
CrossFit has proven the world wrong about
who it underestimates.
Our methodology doesn't work because it's
trending.
It works because we spent a quarter
century proving it delivers that efficacy.
That's our bar.
Now we need a financial leader who can
hold it.
And you can go on and read this
yourself on the Barbell Spins Instagram
account.
But what I like about that is they
are saying they want someone that pretty
much knows the methodology,
understands the methodology,
understands what CrossFit is trying to do.
And I like that.
The other thing I wanted to ask you
all is,
And it's been rattling around in my brain
for a day.
Yesterday on our show,
it broke that they were looking for a
CFO.
We also talked yesterday about...
The prize money of the Masters athletes
and adaptive athletes not being released.
Before that,
it was reported that the team money and
individual athlete money was not dispersed
in a way.
Well, it's not dispersed yet,
but it was not announced in a way
that was in congruency with the rule book
and what they had already stated.
Is this a coincidence that all of these
financial decisions and financial
announcements that have not been made or
have been made maybe incorrectly is a
coincidence or a cause and effect of
needing a new CFO?
Do you think that they are related?
in some way because i'm having a really
hard time not thinking that they are
related in some way i did get and
i did get clarification that the prize
money for the masters athletes has to come
from hq
That is not on Legends.
That is not on the Masters group.
That is on HQ.
They are the ones who collected the money
and they are the ones that should be
announcing the prize purse for the Masters
division.
And I did get clarification on that and
can say that with certainty.
If they are related,
they would never admit they messed up.
I'm not saying they would admit anything,
Ed.
I'm just saying that it's pretty odd that
things that should be out there are not
out there,
and all of a sudden now we're hiring
a new CFO.
I didn't even hear we got rid of
the old CFO.
It's just weird.
It's just weird.
i could be totally wrong it could be
that this was the plan all along who
knows but it just it does seem pretty
coincidental um what i do want to be
brought up is the waza teams we wanted
to talk about that as well vicky
So what a blues announced yesterday on
Instagram.
It was a couple of days ago where
we got word that they were doing teams
or camps instead of us versus the world
or North America versus the world.
Now we're doing camps.
They announced yesterday that it's going
to be four different camps.
What four are, are it going to be?
We don't know.
It has not been announced yet.
My speculation and what I put in the
comments was that it's going to be proven
mayhem brute and one unaffiliated camp.
Um,
Yeah, Carolyn and I,
we went in a text chat last night.
She wants it to be like F one,
like team tier, team Adidas, team Nike,
team Jim Reaper, something like that,
which I am not against in the CrossFit
game season.
I think that is something that could spark
the team division in a way that changing
the number of participants and things like
that would not do.
I think that at a place like Waterpalooza
SoCal to get that many different sponsors
in the same building when Jim Reapers is
a sponsor of the overall event would be
practically impossible.
So I feel like while that's a cool
idea for the game season,
it's probably not practical for
Waterpalooza SoCal.
What are your thoughts on who the four
camps will be?
Again, mine are proven, mayhem, brute,
unaffiliated.
Ken Walters, weirdly,
I spent a lot of time at the
games.
RX experience lounge every day with the
CFO,
who is also a head of retail and
special events.
Seemed very excited about the future.
Hope he just got reassigned.
Barry McCockner,
no link to the actual job on her
post either.
the,
you cannot put a link in Instagram just
so you know that, um,
unless you have like some gazillion
followers, you have,
the only place you can put a link
is in your bio.
I believe Dylan confirmed group brute last
night on get with get a glint and
things podcast.
Okay.
I,
I only saw the beginning of that Joseph.
Um,
Oh, Barry says LinkedIn.
LinkedIn post does not have the link.
Yeah,
you definitely want to link your link on
the LinkedIn post.
That's crucial because LinkedIn is a job
website, right?
If you're hiring someone on LinkedIn,
you want it to be done there.
George Wang says,
if we went with sponsored teams,
Rad would be too strong.
Amy Sturtz, Jay Crouch, Madaris, DBE.
Tear would crush them, George.
Sorry.
Um,
Pazley Craig, Craig Pazley, TTT,
Proven Mayhem Brute,
and in an unaffiliated.
They're only doing four.
You can't break the rules, Craig.
You can only do four.
SoCal made the announcement only four.
Yeah, he wasn't.
And he was saying what Carolyn was saying,
that she wants an F-one with sponsored
teams, not camps.
She thinks that would be more fun.
So that's what the rad comment was made
about.
But that is not practical for Waterpalooza
SoCal.
They are a Jim Reapers event with Jim
Reapers being the title sponsor.
Jim Reapers is not going to let other
apparel companies sponsor people within
the sport and get all of the publicity
and marketing from that.
If they did,
they would greatly diminish the amount of
money they would get to be the title
sponsor.
But Amy Kringle's coach said this morning
that Amy Kringle is probably not doing
Wadapalooza SoCal because she's doing WFP
and she's doing Rogue and there's a
holiday in there too for them.
So...
So there's a good chance our champion
won't even be at what a Palooza SoCal.
They would pull a high rocks and not
allow any other brands and photos.
Then the other brands wouldn't
participate.
That's it's a chicken egg thing.
You, if the other brands participated,
Jim Reapers would be pissed and pull their
money.
If they,
if jim reapers was if jim reapers allowed
them and said they couldn't show up in
photos they would the other sponsors
wouldn't even show up so it it would
have to be a different format in how
you paid for the event
Barry says,
everyone DM Kalo your resume since you
have no links.
And Vicky said,
CFO position is also not on the CrossFit
website.
That's great.
I wonder if you go to Indeed or
any of those job matching places,
if you typed CFO CrossFit,
if it would show up.
The only other thing I really have on
the docket today is Flow Elite.
Flow Elite's taking it on the chin pretty
hard this year for putting some stuff
behind a paywall.
And whether you like the paywall or you
don't like the paywall or whatever,
I'm not here to debate that.
But they didn't have anything to do with
the broadcast of the games.
The broadcast was done by third parties.
They just housed it.
They gave the platform where it resides.
That is it.
So they can't be blamed for the quality
of the broadcast or the complaints you
have with the broadcast.
In addition to that,
I started following Flow Elite on
Instagram.
And the entire weekend,
they were marketing the CrossFit Games.
They were marketing the CrossFit Games at
a substantial rate.
Grabbing clips,
showing stuff that was going on.
to me,
those are the pieces we weren't getting
with YouTube.
YouTube was doing nothing to promote the
CrossFit Games.
YouTube's algorithm does nothing to bring
in new customers to a broadcast on their
channel.
They only push that event out to people
who are already fans of the sport.
Where Flow Elite is brand new to this,
they are throwing stuff on their
Instagram.
They're throwing stuff on the main screen
of Flow Elite.
They're promoting the sport heavily over
the weekend.
And that is something we never had before.
They also put money into prizes for the
athletes with the grittiest performance of
the day in all divisions,
which we did not have before.
So while everybody wants to pile on the
hate to flow elite,
they're doing things that we never have
seen before in the sport.
They're promoting it and they're adding
money to the ecosystem.
So I got to say about that,
everybody's going after him pretty hard.
I think they've done some pretty cool
things.
Um,
Scott, I'm sorry,
but people who do not CrossFit are not
watching the games.
Hell,
most people who do CrossFit do not even
watch the games.
I like that you can make the blanket
statement and you can speak for everybody
in the world.
There are people out there that don't even
know the CrossFit games exist.
So maybe a handful of people saw something
on Flow Elite and thought, wow,
that looks pretty cool.
Let me check it out.
I don't think you can make blanket
statements like that.
That is basically giving up and saying
that there's a small niche of people that
watch it and nobody else ever will.
That's not a world I want to live
in.
I want to live in a world where
we try to take advantage of opportunities
that exist.
And we work hard to try to attract
new people to the methodology and the
sport.
Giving up is not the answer.
Ed says, we can all make jokes,
but the CFO role is vital to move
CrossFit forward, satisfies Burke,
but also helps the community.
I hope so.
Meredith says, heck,
I don't do CrossFit and I watch the
games.
We do exist.
Thank you.
Barry McOchner,
I watched Slippery Stairs on ESPN,
the Ocho, and now I'm a fan.
I watched the same thing, Barry.
I was rolling at these idiots trying to
run up Slippery Stairs.
And I think they get to,
people throw balls and stuff at them too.
Avera,
there's a small niche of people who watch
it and most nobody else in the world
ever will.
Again,
I don't want to live in your world.
That is such a pessimistic view of things.
Why do we have marketing?
That is the world.
Day two, he spin picks winner.
I remember when my dad told me a
few years ago they had watched the games.
We never talked about CrossFit,
and he didn't do it, but he watched.
There you go.
Uh, barbell spin, slippery stairs.
Dave avoided running up and down the
stairs outside the SAP center because it
was too dangerous.
Spin.
If you have not seen slippery stair racing
on the Ocho,
it is definitely worth a fifteen minute
watch.
George Wang,
ninety percent of my CrossFit gym didn't
even know the games were going on last
week.
And whose fault is that?
Whose fault is that?
All the media around CrossFit are inside
media.
None of us are talking about it outside
of the bubble that we live in.
You're never going to attract new people
in if you stay inside the bubble.
Flow Elite is going outside the bubble.
Whether you like it or not,
whether you like the paywall or not,
it is outside the bubble.
It's the only way you're going to get
new people in at all is to go
outside that bubble.
The spin says twenty twenty five slippery
stairs is on ESPN's YouTube and here and
our producers pulled it up.
Here we go.
Yeah,
you got to get to the top and
ring the bell.
The one I watched,
they were throwing balls at the people.
That looks like a team stair climb.
There we go.
That's the stuff you there's the balls.
I saw the balls.
I knew there were balls.
And the competitors are throwing more
water on the stairs, which is brilliant.
Barry says they need that at the games.
Yeah, Mark,
Vicky has the biggest mouse cursor I have
ever seen.
Meg is late.
We went back to the normal time just
for you, Meg.
So you didn't get stuck in nap time
and then you show up late.
What the hell?
Um,
this looks like it should be on Japanese
TV.
It does.
It really is worth like,
if you just want to laugh a little
bit, uh, Mark, that's where it started.
Just like Ninja warrior.
Um, uh,
Meg is in the five-sided puzzle palace.
So time doesn't exist here.
uh if i turned on slippery stairs by
accident i'd keep it on yeah that's what
happened to me my wife and i were
flipping around hit the ocho one day and
we ended up watching slippery stairs um
the last thing i wanted to throw up
there is vicky if you could throw up
the podcast top earners
This is the top earner in podcasts.
Joe Rogan makes eighty two million dollars
a year.
Can you believe that?
Can you believe that?
If you cycle to twentieth,
I the bummer for me is.
I felt like twenty third, like just below.
Just below.
Spin was number six.
This money is absurd.
My,
my two dollars and fifty cents a month
doesn't even,
doesn't even like put a blip on the,
the podcast list.
Absurd.
Twentieth, eighteen million dollars.
Wow, what a world we live in.
Get a microphone.
Talk about shit.
Make some money.
Crazy.
Tessa says, well,
spend no more gold coins for you.
And speaking of saving money.
You can save money when you buy Thirdsy.
That is Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy at
checkout or Jazzy at the whatever.
Thirdsy.com backslash Jazzy.
Jazzy at checkout gets you fifteen percent
off your order.
Best sleep and recovery tool in the
business.
If I didn't have it,
I would be dog tired every single day
and I am not.
So...
Tessa says,
there are teenagers making huge coin on
TikTok.
It is a wild world we live in.
Wild world.
So with that, I'm going to go.
I've got to apply for the CFO position
if I can find a link anywhere on
the internets.
And don't forget to like and subscribe to
the channel.
For those of you who haven't got your
shirts yet,
the feedback has been tremendous.
Super soft, good fits.
That's what we're getting so far.
A bunch of them have been delivered
yesterday and today,
and there are still opportunities to do
so.
I took inventory,
so I know where we're at.
We're good on sizes for now.
But, thirty-two dollars,
that includes shipping in the U.S.,
Cash App, Venmo,
right there on the screen, QR codes,
or my name on those apps is below.
Just put your name, address,
and size in the memo section,
and we'll get those out to you.
I'm going to do another shipment tonight,
so another batch will go out tonight.
Jody asks where I got the graphic on
top podcasters.
It was in my Instagram feed.
I can shoot it over to you, Jody,
if you'd like.
Yes, Daniel, yours is in the mail.
Yours went out Sunday night.
I don't know when you're due to get
it, but it should be there soon.
Um, with that and Daniel,
you probably missed the beginning when we
announced that we're going to start doing
the dumb, dumb,
stupid pants award of the week.
We'll take nominees in the comments on
YouTube.
Just explain why that person or that event
did, did,
deserves the dumb, dumb,
stupid pants award.
We will continue to give nominees
ourselves throughout the week and we'll,
um,
we'll put them up on a poll on
Friday to hand out our dumb, dumb,
stupid pants award of the week.
With that,
I hope you have a great rest of
your day.
We will be back tomorrow with lunch with
the Clydesdale and hopefully the Cowboy.
You wouldn't wait to get to the editing
room to jazz me up.
I'm already jazzy.
