We cover the sport of CrossFit from all angles. We talk with athletes, coaches and celebrities that compete and surround in the sport of CrossFit at all levels. We also bring you Breaking News, Human Interest Stories and report on the Methodology of CrossFit. We also use the methodology to make ourselves the fittest we can be.
Well,
after all the tussle the last couple of
weeks or a couple of days about people
getting their invites,
I might be getting one now.
I love the chase and the hunt and
I set the pace when I'm running.
I always take what I want and I
always give it one hundred.
Don't need a bank, no I'm funded.
Play the game like it's nothing.
I'm always thankful for something.
Don't take for granted, stay humble.
Now wake up!
It's time to look at the enemy.
Look in the mirror if he is no
friend to me.
It's not working out,
maybe it's the chemistry.
It's time to break up so I can
make a better me.
It's lunch time.
what is going on everybody welcome to
lunch with the Clydesdale it is a
Wednesday we are halfway through the week
getting stronger and stronger every day
and uh feeling pretty good uh last night
I caught up on two glintons podcasts I
watched the savant podcast with them
very informational about what's going on
in the drama and all of that kind
of stuff.
But the one I really,
really enjoyed was the Ali Zerkey
interview.
Oh, dude.
Ali's amazing.
Yeah, I mean, again,
I knew Colton way back.
Right.
And I got to hang out with him
and him and Allie or her and Colton
after Granite Games in twenty two with Ken
Walters.
Like just those names and putting them
together.
it's like this weird psychedelic trip.
Uh, Ken Walters, Ali Zerkey, Colton Ernst,
and Scott Switzer walked into a bar.
Just go ahead and let that wash over
you for a little bit.
Uh, and, uh,
And so, like, I love Allie.
And she hung out with Jamie and I
at the Pasadena semifinals a couple years
ago.
And she's just a tremendous,
tremendous woman.
And it was so,
so much fun listening to her tell the
origin story, her origin story.
I've had her on the podcast,
but it's always been with Colton.
Right.
The Glintons killed it, man.
I should have had her on long ago.
Absolutely.
They are very,
very good at what they do,
which is just having just regular
conversations,
getting to know people type stuff.
And it's entertaining to watch.
They have fun with people.
It's not static.
It's not what's your favorite color type
shit.
It's fun to watch.
Well, and I think I said this.
Where I really fell in love with the
Glintons is when I was driving from Albany
to Columbus,
Ohio after the games last year.
And...
They,
they are such fans of the sport and
the athletes.
It reminds me of why I loved what
I loved.
Right.
It gets,
it gets my head out of all of
that weird bullshit,
the drama that surrounds it all.
And like,
just takes you right down to the root
of pure fandom.
Sure.
And that's why,
and that's why I continue to listen to
them because they bring that joy to every
interview.
They actually want,
they're not interviewing people because
they're the hot thing at the moment.
They're interviewing people that they want
to talk to and you can tell.
Like they're having conversations with
people and they're, like you said,
they're excited to talk about or to talk
to and they really want to be in
it.
And they are in the moment and it's
fun to watch.
It's fun to watch.
It's fun to listen to.
And then doing the live workouts with the
community.
Another home run.
Yeah.
I know they're trying to get to like
a thousand followers on Instagram so they
can go live with stuff.
Get them there, man.
Go follow the Gartons on Instagram.
Get them up over a thousand.
And speaking of numbers, we are two.
Two subscribers away from three grand.
Two.
Just one and then two.
Be those people.
If you're listening right now and you're
not a subscriber, be those people.
Get us over the hump, please.
We are at twenty two ninety eight.
Twenty nine ninety eight.
Twenty nine ninety eight.
So cool.
Joseph says it feels like Savon got a
lot off his chest last night.
it doesn't surprise me,
but it came across as like,
like a disappointed dad.
Sure.
Like, cause he kept saying like,
I didn't even see it coming and I
didn't.
And, and maybe that's on me and me,
you know, like, and it,
and it wasn't like he was angry or
it, he never said this.
He never said this,
but to me it felt like he was
just hurt.
Yeah.
was hurt that this thing that he had
that he thought was like so cool and
so tight and all of that um fell
apart under his watch and under his nose
and it was right there and he seemed
to have just not caught the signs yeah
like when he's talking about tyler
That's the vibe I got too.
It's like I never saw it and he
feels bad for it because he doesn't want
anybody to feel like that.
The dude's
He's a really nice person.
He's a good human being and he doesn't
want anybody to feel like that.
Like they're not being heard and feels
like it and have it be on behalf
of him.
Right.
That's, that's not his deal whatsoever.
So yeah, no, the,
the parts of it I got to listen
to, uh, which is probably about the first.
Forty-five minutes or so that that's how
it was coming off of me as well.
seemed cathartic.
It also seemed like there,
it gave him some self-reflection to look
at how he was coasting.
Is that how we put it?
And that it was, he shouldn't have been,
he should have been like recruiting and
trying to keep things fresh and stuff all
along.
And this just forced him to get back
into that.
Let's get some new talent.
Let's.
So yeah, it was,
it was a great interview too.
I really enjoyed both.
they're just killing it over there.
And then Joseph is doing semis live on
the channel as well.
Joseph, at this point,
you might get an invitation to Legends,
so keep an eye on your email.
Yeah, if you have not seen this already,
the Barbell Spin put this out.
Sixteen days until Legends kicks off.
And there are three hundred and five
roster spots yet to be filled.
What is crazy is.
The elite men's field like we've been
bitching about the Masters invites all
week.
The elite men's field only has six
registered athletes.
Three go to the games.
Now,
it's like Dallin and James and Tudor and
Roman.
Like,
it's still going to be tough to get
one of the three.
But you got a fifty-fifty shot.
So, just crazy, man.
Crazy.
There are four age groups that have one
registered athlete.
Jesus.
So I made a comment.
So if you didn't catch it yesterday,
my little mini riff got clipped by Jenny,
put out on Dense Updates.
And then Megan Apostolaris made a comment.
I commented back.
And her argument was that quarterfinals
aren't finished.
I can get behind that a little bit
on the elite athlete level.
Right.
But I know damn well nobody at CrossFit
is asking for a video from a Masters
athlete.
And so just say the Masters are done
and that the Masters are final and give
these two entities the list of people to
start...
Now, elites,
maybe they are going to dive into some
videos.
I've heard that they've asked for some
from elite athletes,
but I haven't heard a single Masters
athlete get a request for a video.
Nobody I know has,
and I'm in several different tech groups
at this point with pretty high-level
Masters athletes,
and nobody I know has asked for any.
Tristan in the house,
why would someone go?
You have to go beat three out of
six multiple time games vets with no one
in the field to middle.
I get that argument, Tristan.
Yeah, I understand that argument.
But at the same time,
why wouldn't you go?
it's valuable on the field experience
versus games athletes that you're trying
to be one of.
So yeah, I get as expensive.
Believe me.
I just, we just,
even Birmingham is not cheap,
believe it or not.
We just booked our Airbnb last night.
Um, so I understand that, but like,
I gotta, I gotta be,
I gotta be top two to be able
to get it to, to,
to punch a ticket.
And I'm still going because I want the,
I want the, I want the on,
I want the experience.
I want to go against as high-level people
as I possibly can every single time.
Here's my argument back to him as well,
is if you're an elite athlete and you
want to be an elite athlete,
you have to go up against elite
competition.
Correct.
To go there,
I can see that for maybe if you're
six, seven, and eight in the field.
But if you're thirteen, sixteen,
twenty-two,
and you get an opportunity to go up
against the best and see where you stand,
damn well you should be getting there.
These opportunities don't come around
every day anymore.
All the off-season shit is by invite.
Yeah.
Like, if I'm Colton, like, yeah,
you want to pick your shots, right?
Because you don't want to go to every
single big event, right?
Colton's probably a bad example when it
comes to that because he would go to
every single event.
True.
Scott, it becomes games, athlete,
fantasy camp.
Yes.
Sure.
What's wrong with that?
What is one element you need to be
a great athlete?
Competition experience.
High-level competition experience.
Corey has been telling you guys for a
year that his goal was to get to
an in-person semi,
to go up against the best,
to have that in-person experience,
to make him a better athlete.
I don't get that from going to my
local cops around here.
I just don't.
David Johnson lives nowhere near me.
Not often I get a chance to take
the floor against him.
I mean, period.
This is what Carolyn nails it.
This is exactly what I'm saying.
If you're an elite athlete and you're
close to qualifying,
you'll be picky on which one.
If you know you aren't qualifying,
pick a semifinal to have the experience
and say you competed against the elite
athletes.
And you'll be better for it in years
to come.
Yep.
Well said, Carolyn.
To be the best,
you have to beat the best.
Or at least run with them.
Look at that picture of Larry.
Damn.
That's a sexy man right there.
That's a whole lot of dude.
Maybe just doing stuff's expensive now and
people ain't got the cash.
It's always been expensive.
when you get into this sport, you know,
things are expensive.
If you want to be an elite athlete
at some point in your career, you know,
you're going to have to pay some money.
We're not talking about,
we're not talking about Jimmy Smith over
here at CrossFit Polaris,
who comes in at the six AM class.
We're talking about people who have
registered for these things,
done the quarterfinals and done very well
to get to the,
and try to get to a place where
they are an elite athlete and yes three
and five spots is a whole lot when
you look at the entire entirety of the
competition right it's not just elites
it's all the masters divisions that are
going as well that they are looking to
invite
Whoever's running their social media
responded to Spin's thing and said,
we appreciate the fact that everybody's
worried about it.
But as soon as we get our stuff
out,
we're sending out the rest of the invites,
whatever that ends up look like,
assuring people that they will, in fact,
get filled up.
I don't have any reason not to believe
that.
Even though it's on short notice, right?
Well, as soon as, uh,
the scores were alive and I saw what
my quarterfinal score was,
I started looking at places to stay in
Birmingham,
even though I didn't have an invite simply
because I thought I might be able to
get an invite.
So it's not that hard to book a
place and then, oh wait,
I'm not actually going and then unbook a
place.
Always expensive is different than now.
Can't just hop on a thirty nine dollar
want to get away flight anymore.
That was not a scam anyway.
There's only like two thirty nine dollar
seats on the whole plane.
I get an email from Southwest about at
least once or twice a day.
Sometimes ask me if I want to get
away for forty dollars and I'm like,
I just can't see myself getting on a
plane for a forty dollar ticket.
Where are you going to take me from
New Orleans to Baton Rouge?
Like that doesn't seem like it's going to
get you real far.
How do you feel about the age groups
with just one in their division competing
and getting a spot?
Well,
hopefully that changes over the next.
Sixteen days.
Right.
But if that happens, that is absurd.
And what that truly will mean,
Shanna is age groups.
Won't get an in-person semi anymore.
Correct.
Which would be.
Sad.
And in my opinion, a travesty.
I have been the biggest supporter of the
age group divisions.
And I want all of this for them.
But you have to take advantage of it
when the opportunity comes or those
opportunities will go away.
Yep.
These comps are expensive, though.
They used to be two hundred ish and
the games was two fifty.
Now the semis are all four hundred plus
and coaches don't even have a free pass
to enter.
That is insane.
completely ridiculous silly absolutely
silly it does get expensive though and
we've talked about this in the past this
is another one of my many rants that
i've gone off on it's we own they're
only looking at one avenue for revenue
and that is people signing up to do
their event.
Instead of trying to get as many people
in the building and use alternative
sources of revenue,
like if you can guarantee people,
thousands of people in your venue,
you'll get more booths and vendors to pay
for that.
They'll be more successful,
and then that will create a churn where
everybody's making more money.
But the...
event coordinators with the blinders on
only see two paths of revenue.
And that is ticket sales where they charge
an ungodly amount to come in for the
weekend and charging the athletes, uh,
to come do their event.
I will say that more, uh,
majesty games are not expensive,
but it didn't seem like it.
When I looked at them,
I didn't buy them yet.
Cause I'm not sure if my wife's actually
gonna make it or not.
But, um, weekend pass was,
Seventy five bucks, maybe.
I don't remember.
I'd have to go back and look.
See, that's not bad.
Last year's age group games were like I
was a couple hundred dollars.
I could be completely wrong with that
number before somebody tells me I'm an
idiot.
I looked at it briefly whenever I signed
my stuff up and I just didn't buy
any because I don't know.
I don't actually know if she's gonna be
able to make it or not.
Alita says, in fairness,
the French showdown was only two hundred
pounds for three days.
this started happening in bodybuilding and
Olympic lifting.
And then the,
those events wouldn't actually be
qualified to send someone further need a
minimum number in the field.
Is masters having an in-person qualifier,
a folly at this point,
spectator field for masters is like the
crowd at the D two baseball championship,
friends and family.
I will tell you cross fat at the
age group games last year,
I thought there were more people watching
that than were at elite semis.
And the price was ungodly expensive.
Yeah.
But then again,
the Masters have a lot more friends and
family.
Two of my best friends and his wife
are coming.
We're staying at the same Airbnb place.
If my wife's feeling up to it because
she's having surgery the week before she's
coming, or my son,
I'm going to have at least,
at the very minimum,
a two-person tear injection,
probably more than that.
And then one of my good friends lives
in Birmingham.
He's a cop up there,
so I assume he's probably going to be
there.
So, like, I mean, I hope so.
Everyone says Toledo,
and that's why Europeans sell out better
their venues than North America.
yeah um so that's happening we also have
mayhem released their number one workout
this is the second release but it's a
workout one did i say that right wrong
no i think that's right second one day
release but actual workout one that's
right i said it the more the most
complicated way i could yeah i mean
Here it is.
It's a five K run, but,
and it seems little,
but there's redacted information below the
five K run, including the location.
I love this.
I can't say that enough.
Is it by five K do they mean
five kilometers or five thousand feet of
running?
Because that's been a thing in the past.
I don't know.
I we talk about all the like that
CrossFit released all the quarterfinal
workouts a week early,
but you couldn't do them until the
Thursday.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I'm sure.
I'm sure everybody just stuck right to
that.
Here we have an event releasing a workout
a week and a half early,
but they only gave you a taste.
So you know you're going to run.
You know you're going to run,
but you don't know all the details.
I like how it's two lines redacted
underneath five K like.
Maybe one of them is a decoy,
like a red herring.
We put two lines underneath there.
It's really going to make people think
that there's some extra stuff in there.
Isn't that what makes all this fun?
Yeah, no, a hundred percent.
I like it.
Everybody's going to speculate for the
next week and a half on what's underneath
those three lines.
I love it.
Location.
Let's be honest.
It's a simple move that CrossFit could
have taken advantage of during
quarterfinals.
Redacted one line or two lines from every
workout.
You kind of know what you got to
get into affiliates.
You know,
you got to use these pieces of equipment,
but.
Well, in years past,
they would give us just the floor layout.
I remember that specifically.
Hey,
here's the floor layouts for all these
workouts.
We'll give you the rep schemes and weights
and all that stuff times later on this
week.
But here's what you can expect to have
to set up at the very least.
Henshaw did the measuring and he did it
four times.
I measured it four times and it was
wrong all four times.
Just wanted to let y'all know that.
Um,
the second line says brought to you by
mayhem hunt.
See, I think that would be awesome though.
Yeah, that would be awesome.
Uh, it would be nice if,
if events would stop releasing workouts
early enough for people to do them
multiple times.
I like this.
I don't just like this, David Johnson.
I love this.
Yeah, I agree.
I absolutely agree.
I hope those laser guns aren't involved.
I hope they are involved.
Let's bring that back.
Accuracy.
Pew, pew, pew.
I can't run through the woods.
Josh Bridges is involved with that now,
and him and Rich have beef.
Or they used to have beef.
I don't know.
They used to be friends.
Now they're not friends, maybe.
I don't know.
Yeah, that is a thing.
Man you guys are chatting so fast Magic
City is releasing their workouts Eight
days before the comp But they could do
this trick They could do this trick with
those workouts Eight days is a long time
It is Um
A five K and bow targets like biathlon
Olympics.
That would be awesome.
And you only get so much time at
each station.
So like when you get to the,
when you get to where you got to
pull it, you got to shoot the bow.
Good luck.
You got thirty seconds to get a shot
off and then you got to,
you got to keep moving.
I thought they used to have coffee.
They did,
but they couldn't agree on how to split
the beans.
As it turns out.
Bison chip toss after each kilometer.
No, actually,
there's going to be a GHD machine.
You have to hold a bison chip in
each hand.
On the tenth and twentieth rep,
you got to chuck one.
At a target.
This is the stuff that's fun when you
do this.
Now we have fun conversations about what
it could possibly be.
I mean,
if they want to come to us for
programming advice,
I think we got some pretty good stuff
right here.
Just throwing that out there.
Now I get it, CrossFit.
You said beef, but it was coffee.
They have coffee between each other.
Yeah.
I hate early releases.
The only argument for them is people can
ask their stupid questions beforehand and
not at the briefing.
Oh, wait,
they still ask them at the briefing.
I don't think any truer words have ever
been said.
if you have never experienced an online
briefing before actually before legends or
before masters fitness collective and just
sitting there and listen to some of the
ridiculous stuff that comes out of
people's mouths i highly recommend it holy
smokes
Everybody's sitting there and they just
kind of going through stuff and whatnot.
And then any questions,
anytime somebody says any questions,
I just kind of sit back.
Cause I know like some nonsense is fixing
to come out.
NorCal will release only the day prior.
They have always done that.
Wonder if they would go earlier now so
that the briefing is better and standard.
But I think they will keep their
traditions.
Yeah,
I just think they need to be more
clear during that briefing.
Yeah,
I don't think Blair and them are changing
much when it comes to that kind of
stuff.
They do what they do,
and people look at them sideways,
and they go, yep,
this is what we're doing.
We are still doing that.
And good on them.
Like, stick to your guns, man.
Like,
people are still going to your events.
People are still participating in your
events,
despite the ridiculous amount of stuff
that y'all do sometimes.
So I have much respect for that.
Carolyn says,
but sometimes the questions is to
literally make sure everyone knows it's
not allowed.
A lot of times people ask the questions
they know the answer to,
but want to make sure it's addressed.
I understand that, Carolyn,
but somebody legitimately asked out loud
last year,
what if my judge is mean to me
and was not laughing when they said it?
They weren't like, well,
what if my geo just mean to me?
No, no, that was a legitimate question.
I was texting back and forth with a
friend of mine while we were in it.
And I was like,
what is happening right now?
I says, I have a question.
Do I have to run the entire five
K?
Yeah, exactly.
Vicky says people are soft.
Joe said, uh,
never had that happen before with my like
he was stunned by the asking of it
he just kind of went up never had
that happen before but if it does let
me know when i'll address it and like
he said just it like it was a
question because but somebody legitimately
actually like that's that's a thing that
happened when i was a judge we were
told that we were not to interact with
the athlete unless they came up to you
if they had questions to call over the
head judge because they wanted to keep it
very systematic and um but that was when
crossfit was running it all right right um
can i bring wheelie shoes for the i
hope you do carolyn and i cannot wait
to see the video please do
Please do, Carolyn.
I got a feeling she would be super
fast on them.
Like, she knows how to skate.
Hell, her on rollerblades, man,
dominates the five K. Wouldn't even, yeah,
wouldn't even be close.
Through the woods.
Like,
I have no problem believing that
whatsoever.
Biggest annoyance is when judges have
conversations with athletes before the
heat starts.
Yep.
I'd love for you to have Dave Hardy
on one day and let him tell stories.
But I bet he's got some good ones.
I've judged with Dave.
I've known Dave a long time.
Dave is a great human being.
He is outstanding as a person.
And yes,
I am willing to bet he has some
ridiculous stories.
The funniest thing about Dave Hardy is
that he and I must have the exact
same palate.
Because whenever I'm at an event,
I run into him at every restaurant I
go to.
We were, uh, my first year at legends,
we were leaving the venue and we literally
picked him up off the street.
He was walking back to his hotel and
we rolled up and, uh,
Robbie rolled down the window and was
like, Hey man, you need a ride?
And he was like, hell yes,
I need a ride.
I didn't.
And it was two blocks,
but he just got in and we shot
the shit with him for a little bit
and dropped him off in front of his
place.
Um, is it Dave Hardy or Chris Henshaw?
Exactly.
I've never seen them both in the same
place at the same time.
I have a picture with Chris Henshaw and
I could tell people it was Dave Hardy
and they probably wouldn't know the
difference.
I'm just saying,
I've seen both of them in person.
I've never seen them both at the same
time.
No.
To be fair,
if you talk to Dave Harder,
he does not tell you about zone two
and, uh,
deal two max and all that kind of
stuff.
He's that's not really his bag.
Yeah.
But he's a hell of an athlete.
Uh,
CrossFit games athlete now high rocks
champion.
Yeah.
Was he judging at,
at fitness of the coast with his cane
after his surgery, which was fantastic.
Artificial parts everywhere.
And the guy he's much older than he
looks.
Yeah.
Like he looks years younger than he is,
uh, which is insane.
So.
What else do we got?
I saw some comments about Xenon.
If you didn't see the post from Wilson
Pak and the Xenon crew talking about what
they want the event to be,
I shared it to my story today.
It's really, really awesome.
I saw it,
but I actually listened to it.
Yeah,
so they just talk about how they want
it to be a world-class event.
They want you to walk through the doors
and feel like it's a world-class event.
He quotes how much poundage of steel is
going to be put inside the arena.
All the stuff,
like the nerdy stuff that gets
CrossFitters.
excited but it was actually addressed to
crossfit crossfitters people who do
crossfit do crossfit yeah the strongest
nerds i know are the people i work
out with uh dave uses the wheelie measure
stick from harbor freight
Oh, that's because CrossFit said,
could Dave count five thousand meters?
Yeah, he can.
It's just that his wheelie pops wheels
wheelies and it misses or it spins extra
off the off the ramp.
Talked about legends,
talked about the last thing I wanted to
talk about.
Well,
I have two more things is if you
guys didn't see this video.
Well worth the watch.
This is on Justin Medeiros' channel.
It is The Relish Project.
And he talked about it briefly on Boys
Interrupted back when they were going to
do it.
This was on his way to do Guadalupalooza,
SoCal.
Apparently back in college...
Justin had a couple of friends that worked
out at the same place he did.
And they went on this journey with no
plan,
just all jumped into like a cargo van
and went from town to town,
sleeping in tents and going into different
CrossFit boxes and working out with the
community and getting to know the
community.
Justin was always jealous about that ever
since they had done that.
And so they decided to do it on
his drive from Idaho to Waterpalooza,
SoCal.
No plan,
just stop at various boxes on the way.
They slept in tents,
they slept in the vans,
and they brought a bunch of stuff from
all of their sponsors or Justin's
sponsors.
And he got the old gang back together,
who some of them have not been working
out as much as they did when they
did this initial plan.
And I'm just going to play a little
bit of the start because they explain what
the Relish Project is.
What is the Relish Project?
I don't think it's ever been fully
defined.
And that's the point.
The Relish Project was never meant to fit
in a box.
It was meant to evolve.
That uncertainty, that curiosity,
it's part of the journey.
Ten years ago,
three friends sent out to tell the story
of the CrossFit community.
And today, that story continues.
The larger group, broader perspectives,
and even greater stories still waiting to
be told.
This is The Relish Project.
So it's really cool because it's really
like grassroots CrossFit.
It's just dropping into box after box,
sticking around,
hanging out with the community,
handing out free shoes, free shirts,
free shorts from Justin's sponsors.
And they tell a story at the one
box where they hung out with the community
for two hours after the workout.
Damn.
And how...
They don't think typically that happens at
the box that they hang out that long.
He does think they hang out for a
little bit of time after the workout.
But two hours was a lot.
But they hung out and ate and drank
and did all the stuff with the community.
And it's just like box after box after
box having those experiences.
It's only like a thirty minute video,
but it's really a great idea and I
hope that this is something that expands
and blows up and more people take it
on in the name of The Relish Project.
When I first got into CrossFit,
like if we had one of my friends
that would get married,
our bachelor party was on a Saturday,
we would drop into like three boxes.
Oh, I like that.
Bang, bang.
And do a workout at each one and
then come back to the home gym,
do like a max out and then grill
and drink beer and do whatever for the
rest of the day.
And then like the wives and everybody
would come hang out with us for the
evening.
but that's how we would celebrate bachelor
parties.
And it reminded me so much of that
and the,
and the grassroots piece of that and
getting together with my best friends and
hanging out for the day.
I like it.
And this is just,
just puts it under a road trip, right?
Let's just hop in the van and go.
I have been wanting to do something alone.
It was like,
like every time we go somewhere, uh,
And it's more prevalent now, but like,
I am looking for where I'm going to
go work out.
That's, that's not,
that's a non-negotiable, right?
Even on a cruise ship, I'm like,
all right, well,
I guess I'm about to go tear up
this fitness center on the cruise ship.
Then people will see some stuff they ain't
never seen before.
But I love it.
I love dropping into new places.
I love being in there and just talking
to the people that's there, dude.
Like I've met people in several different
locations who are
invariably good human beings i'm rarely
dropped in somewhere where i was like this
place sucks matter of fact i can't think
of any um that amongst my dropping where
i was like yeah this this place or
these people suck it hadn't happened i
think it's just the the nature of what
we do i i've probably done fifty drop-ins
in my life
I've only had one bad experience.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
I'll take those odds.
Um, and,
and more than just this being a good
watch, which I think it is,
and I highly recommend it.
I think it's a,
a cool concept that others can take on
and, and do with their buddies.
And I think it would be a blast.
Um,
yeah so if you haven't checked it out
check it out and if if you ever
decide to do something like this let us
know man it'd be cool like down the
road a little bit if like we did
like a Clydesdale version of this and
whatever listeners wanted to join us we
would just bang bang bang go that's
fantastic
Uh, Larry young, same.
I look at the gym before I book,
even though I don't work out hard,
like you, Corey,
I still try to do something.
Larry, you work out.
I read Larry young's comments and I want,
like,
I'm about to pull an eye muscle from
rolling my eyes when he says shit like,
oh, don't work hard, hard, hard.
Like you shut up, Larry.
Stop.
Everything is relative.
Everything is relative.
Sweet Jesus.
Speaking of working out hard and Larry,
we announced yesterday that we're doing
for Rob Orlando max out deadlift this
week.
And if you do a max out deadlift
for Rob Orlando, video it,
tag us in it on Instagram at Clydesdale
underscore media.com.
I will share it to the stories and
it'll all be for Rob Orlando this week.
I think I'm going to do mine this
afternoon after my last meeting.
And I'm hoping to get over three.
I don't know.
I may be setting my expectations way too
high, but I'm going to try.
I've never been an actor, so we'll see.
It's worth doing.
Yeah.
I mean, playing is worth doing.
I watched that little tribute that
CrossFit put together for him again this
morning.
And, I mean,
you just can't not like the guy.
Yeah.
He was so charismatic.
And he just was a good dude.
Larry says, I'll win that one.
There you go.
We're giving you your shot, Larry.
We're giving you your shot.
Max out deadlift.
Do it for Rob Orlando.
Robbo.
Carolyn says, nice to see CrossFit.
We'll interview Lauren Weeks from High
Rocks.
She's been doing CrossFit for so long.
Yeah.
CrossFit needs to dive into some of these
other things and be the example.
Get out of its own way?
Is that what you're trying to say?
Yeah.
um hybrid folks rob some royalties
speaking of royalties i'm going to leave
on this note i was watching this clip
today if you remember jacques jacques jack
a jack from two two are you talking
about the whenever she was talking about
uh
Dolly Parton.
Yeah.
That makes more sense.
She asked Dolly Parton if she was upset
that Whitney Houston recorded her song.
And Dolly Parton was like,
let me show you something.
It's taken back to her dressing room and
she pulls up the drawer in her desk.
She pulls out a piece of paper and
she hands it to her and goes,
this is my first royalty check from that,
that song.
And it was a million dollars.
And Dolly looked at her and goes,
I ain't angry.
Yeah, I ain't mad at her.
I am not mad at her.
And that was just the first one.
Yeah, that was the initial one.
I mean,
Dolly Parton is a solid human being all
the way through.
CrossFed clarified what he was trying to
say.
They owe Rob.
They owe Rob royalties.
Yeah.
The hybrid people, the, the big sky thing,
whenever they just went and just Rob a,
and they just hollered at him from the
crowd.
And he was like, come on, you up.
And he was like, seriously,
wiping off the cheesecake.
Yes.
What were you doing?
I was eating cheesecake.
Yeah.
Good time.
So he was just, um,
I will video my attempt this afternoon.
I will post it.
And then hopefully that gets the ball
rolling for everybody else.
And we'll see what we do.
Scott, are we past the major trade talks?
Will he be a bear in twenty twenty
six?
I'll let you know after the draft, Wayne.
Well,
there's no real talk about it right now.
But if a trade happens,
it happens at the draft.
In most cases.
Because you're usually trading for draft
capital.
And that's when most people...
That's when the Bears would get the most
compensation for him.
But I don't foresee it.
I think they were only going to trade
him if they got a really good deal.
Here's the thing, dude.
They paid him a truckload of money.
It would be wild for them to, again,
that was what, two years ago?
Well, that just kicks in now.
That one he signed just kicks in now.
And it's only ten million guaranteed,
and I say only.
But it could be up to eighteen million.
However, they are right at the cap.
They have no money to sign draft picks.
So they're either going to have to
restructure some deals,
or they're going to have to get rid
of a high-priced person to get under the
cap for the season.
That's the only reservation I have to
say...
Yeah,
that's a good eye on watching the draft
at that point,
if that would be the case.
That would make sense, yeah.
Hard pass.
Gino Smith's still playing.
He just got traded to the Jets.
Where it all began for him.
Yeah, all the way back to the beginning.
When it was a disaster.
All right, guys.
With that,
look for the deadlift later today.
And we'll see everybody next time on Lunch
with the Clydesdale.
Bye, guys.
