What is going on everybody?
It is lunchtime.
Lunch with the Clydesdale.
What is going on everybody?
Oh,
it has been a long week and it's only
Tuesday, Tuesday.
That's it.
We haven't even had lunch
Cajun style yet this week.
It's already been a long week, man.
When Hiller shares your stuff,
things blow up trying to
keep up with everything, man.
So we're going to start
today with a dart just to,
just to get things going.
And hopefully,
hopefully I can be successful one time,
one time.
goodness I should have went
back to bed so how is
everybody today hope
everybody's had a good
weekend good morning good
show yesterday good show
sunday night great show
sunday night dang um and I
brought some energy on
sunday night that I didn't
know I had and I don't know
if I can do it again we'll have to see uh
Man, if you don't know, like Jamie and I,
you worked would travel to events.
We fight like brother and
sister all the time, all the time.
And Sunday night was like a
flashback to all the times
we fought on the road.
And I love her to death.
She is just an amazing person,
one of my best friends in the world.
But we scrap like brother and sister.
And Sunday night was that
tenfold and was awesome.
And I love when she gives it
back to me and we go at it.
But there's been a lot of
comments about what she said,
what I said.
And so people are blaming me
for what she said.
And I'm like, hey, go yell at Jamie,
not me.
I'm on your side.
So last night got my new Adidas trainers,
drop set threes.
I'm going to give them a whirl today.
see how they work out.
I tried them on last night.
Um, they're a little bit snug, um,
but the toe box is big.
Um, so my toe box had plenty of space, um,
but they're a little tiny
bit snugger all the way around.
So I'm betting the loosen up
a little bit after a couple of workouts.
Uh,
but I'm really excited to try them out.
So that's like the outside.
And then the inside soul is like that.
And so, uh,
really like them I wish they
had cooler color waves for
the men the the women's
color waves are amazing
like I would love that blue
on a shoe like that blue
where all of the gray is
would be really awesome but
the men's color waves are
just kind of meh anyway I
really love the women's
color waves they have out
there just wish they had
more selection for the men
so what's up shay good to
see you could be here live
with us today uh yeah
carolyn I'm so glad that we
put that together um when
did we do that over a year
ago now um and now we're
really really starting to
uh really starting to
groove so so the shoe is
called a drop set three um
It's a drop set three.
It's Adidas CrossFit shoe.
They sponsored a WFP this last weekend.
So I'm assuming they have a
drop set two and a drop set one.
This is their third iteration of the shoe.
I tried it on last night.
It's really comfortable.
Really comfortable.
It kind of has like that mid...
so the the top of the shoe
is like this part is like
the old Kevlar uh Reebok
ish kind of fabric um and
then a lot of like the this
stuff whoop here we go um
around the shoe to kind of
keep it like solid um so I don't know
this is a great question.
Why do we call it,
say colorway instead of colors?
Now I think colorway is
referring and please,
I am not in the shoe industry.
I do not.
Um,
I do not know anything about the shoe
industry.
I think colorway is more of
the overall theme of the
shoe and not just a color or colors.
Um, but I, who, how the hell do I know?
I don't, I don't know why it's colorway.
Um,
I and again I don't know but
like when reebok would come
out with a the color of a
shoe they would also come
out with like shorts and
shirts and stuff to match
it and so I think it just
it implied over the entire
outfit um but who knows uh
what would I compare the
drop set three to I don't
know yet I'm gonna work out
in them tonight uh so I will give you
tomorrow a better indication
as to what they're snugger
than a Reebok but the but
the toe box is big so I
don't know we'll see we'll
see it's like a painting palette
Corey says colorway refers
to a specific combination
of colors used in a design
product or artwork.
It typically indicates the
color variations in which
an item is available,
such as different versions of a sneaker,
a garment, or a piece of furniture.
I think someone looked up a
colorway on dictionary.com.
According to the Google.
So there we go.
So I know most of you
probably already know this.
Okay, we're back.
So whenever you bring up shoes,
it goes longer than you think.
I wear Savage one,
but I've been looking at
the drop set threes.
Honestly,
I just I fell in love with the
look of the drop set three
at the games last year when
Bethany and Haley were wearing them.
And I really wanted to try
them out ever since.
I was waiting for.
color that I liked um I
almost went with the black
gumshoe um but I've had so
many pairs of like that
that I wanted something
different uh so that's why
I went with these but the
problem is is I have a big
foot so this is a size and
it looks like when I put it
on the toe looks long like
from here out because my
foot is just too big if I
was a size ten these would
look awesome but i
what happens you look at a
shoe like on the shelf and
it looks great in the size
ten and then you put on the
size thirteen and you're
like man it looks like a
clown shoe but that's every
shoe if you have like a
size thirteen I've I've
hated the t every tear shoe
I've put on my foot without
even working out in it the
minute I put it on my my foot I'm like no
um so yeah I'm not a tear
guy I like the rad runners
but they are a little bit
small in the toe box these
seem a little bit bigger
But I've been a Reebok guy
pretty much my whole CrossFit life.
I had some Metcons.
Those I have to take off as
soon as the workout's over.
Reeboks I can wear through a
workout and keep them on
after pretty easily.
So I'm hoping,
I think these are more like the Reebok,
but we'll find out.
We'll find out tonight.
And Holly is old school innovate.
Man.
Yeah.
When I first started in two
thousand eleven,
everybody was wearing innovates.
So.
Yeah, I'll try them tonight.
I don't even know what the
workout is tonight.
I need to look.
But I'll try to do some like
I'll try to do some jump rope.
I'll try to do some things
like where I'm bouncing in
them to see how that is and
some stuff like that, even on the side.
Yeah.
They were running that deal, I think,
kind of in conjunction with WFP,
but don't quote me on that.
All right.
So, penalties.
This just came out a couple
hours ago from Barbell Spin,
so I'm going to share that first.
He posted this two hours ago,
and this is...
CrossFit Games' twenty-five
semifinal appeal form.
The penalties reflected on
the in-affiliate semifinal
leaderboard yesterday are not final.
The scoring adjustments were
made prior to the appeals process.
Athletes have twenty-four
hours following
notification from CrossFit
to file an appeal.
So there is still a
possibility that an
athlete's score is
reinstated or readjusted
following that process.
So, yes,
there were a lot of changes
yesterday to the female
leaderboard and a lot of
things that affected the top eleven.
But they are not final there.
Everybody has the ability to
to appeal that and get
their scores reinstated or
readjusted after that.
so just sharing that so
everybody knows everything
is not um final yet uh
corey I ain't gonna lie
those white gum drop set
threes look fire yeah um
yeah mine aren't the gum I
am white shoes just do not
last long for me so
yeah so let's look at the
leaderboard and we'll kind
of point out the things
that really shaped up the
top because that's all
we're really concerned with
at this point.
So.
Saria Maya took the lead
because of the penalties
over Ariel Loewen,
so she would be the winner
if these remained final.
Loewen drops from first to third.
That moved Raptors up to second.
Annika Greer moved up to
fourth because Olivia
Kerstetter got a penalty
and moved out of the top eleven.
We have Danielle Brandon and
Haley Adams tied at six.
Gracie Walton at eight.
Amy Kringle at nine,
who was out before the penalties.
Miriam Von Rohr, who was out.
Lucy McGonigal was out,
moves into the top eleven.
But because these are not final yet,
and French Throwdown are final,
she gets her ticket from
the French Throwdown.
So her eleven spot actually
goes to Jennifer Muir.
who is right there and
caroline stanley who was in
is now the first person out
so um so who fell out of
the top eleven was brooke
wells um her burpee count
went from very high to
three um and she got
penalized for the muscle-up
workout and the not facing the camera
from what we can gather.
Caroline Stanley is out
probably because of the
camera angle thing as well.
And Olivia Kerstetter,
the guess is because she
pushed away on the top of
the muscle up before
establishing a full extension.
So those three women are out.
and you now have amy kringle
miriam von rohr and
jennifer muir taking those
three spots so uh the
penalties resulted in three
people out three people in
and there you have that
And you can see the
penalties for Caroline and
Olivia only dropped them
down to fifteenth,
but only eleven spots get in.
So even though it wasn't super significant,
it was significant enough
to take them out of contention.
So we were talking on Sunday night,
will Olivia do TFX?
Will Caroline do TFX?
Well, now they better.
Because it's either qualify
through TFX or hope your
appeal goes through.
And then hope and pray you
can get into NorCal and
take on that large field,
whatever it's going to be at the time.
And then if we go to the men,
it was still untouched when
I looked just before we went on air.
But we'll take a look.
And it is still in the same
position it was pretty much
at the close of the competition.
With Yonakoski being just
outside looking in.
And tied with Chris Ibarra.
So...
So there we go.
So I'm guessing we'll see
some movement on the men's
leaderboard either later
today or tomorrow.
But they do have, I think,
till the end of the week to
make final decisions on that.
And again, as we talked off the top,
they are still,
they still have the appeal
process available to them.
Twenty four hours after what's going on.
And I just noticed I had the
wrong backdrop up.
What's funny is Siobhan was
struggling this morning and Jamie said,
we don't struggle because
we're professional.
And here I am making the mess up today.
I really should have the
lunch with the Clydesdale background.
There we go.
Ken asks, I'm late today.
How many rants are we in?
Are we, Ken,
I'm still recovering from Sunday.
I don't even know where all
that came from.
I think with taking care of
my wife since her surgery
and I haven't been sleeping
well because I have to keep
my ringer on at night so
that if she needs me, she can call me.
And she's had to call me
like every night during
this recovery process.
So I was on a low amount of
sleep and I just was so
cranky Sunday night.
But I was explaining at the
top of the show,
what was kind of cool is
when Jamie and I travel together,
we fight about CrossFit
topics all the time.
Like slug it out left and right.
And I'll admit,
some of the times I just go
with the other side of the
argument just for the fun
of fighting with Jamie.
And so...
was fun to do that kind of
again on sunday night and I
like when she comes right
back at me um and it makes
it makes for great content
and I hope that we can
continue that on that there
are topics that we can do
that with moving forward
I don't want to be just the
crazy old man down the
street yelling at the clouds.
But as long as there's
something that I'm passionate about,
I will riff rant about
anything like that.
Uh,
sound like what my wife and kids do to
me.
They know what buttons to push.
Yeah.
I think Jamie knows what bus
and buttons to push on me.
I know what buttons I can push on her.
And, uh,
We spent a lot of time on
the road together,
like brother and sister.
And we,
we used to scrap all the time and
it's so much fun, so much fun.
That's why, that's why we love sports.
Right.
Um,
because it gives us something to talk
about,
something to argue about some of
the yell about something to
rant and riff about.
So, um,
the other thing I was going to say is.
Yeah, bearded Scott lets it,
he lets it all out.
Yeah.
I just start pulling the hairs, Kenneth.
And then it gets me in the mood.
And then, you know.
My mom said to me last night, like,
give another month, man,
you could play Santa Claus.
And I'm like, damn.
Like,
isn't there a sexier person with a
white beard than Santa Claus?
Like, come on.
Too young to be Santa yet.
um I wanted to show one more
thing and then so I wanted
to kind of point this out
um and we'll go to the men
and I'm not picking on
dallin I just know that
this is a good example um
so in this workout
And I've talked about this, right?
Look how far away from the
camera his GHD is.
If I am judging this video,
the minute I see the GHD
machine this far away from the camera,
and I would love to get
Andrew's feedback on this as well,
the minute I see the GHD
this far away from the camera,
that means I'm looking closer.
the minute I see this to me,
it means you're trying to hide something.
If you're putting the, and,
and proven with all of
their videos did things
like this to hide elements
behind the rig and,
and different things like that.
And I'm so glad they got
dinged for some of that stuff,
because if you're trying to
hide something,
that means I'm going to look closer.
Because you must be afraid
that your movement is on
the line and you don't want
me to see the line.
And because they're not
using the Motorola razors
to video anymore, circa Brookwell's, um,
now we're just moving the
camera so far away.
And I think I,
I think with the other day
when we were looking at this,
like there's no need for it.
Andrew made a great point.
They're not crossing a line
with the lunges.
So let me back this up a little bit,
right?
They're not crossing a line
with the lunges.
It's a step count.
So there's no line that I
need to see up here.
And I can have Dallin in
frame fully and move that
camera ahead pretty much maybe ten feet.
And again,
it's even better if they move
the camera on the other
side of the GHD and then
show the lunges at a little
bit more distance because
there's no line I have to check.
All I have to do is see knee
touch and are they overhead
not touching the dumbbell.
To me,
when you're putting it that far away,
you're hiding something.
And Andrew Sten says, absolutely.
Absolutely.
uh why while the suggested
floor plan had this set up
I think they still set the
camera too far back agreed
um jonathan ortega says is
that the case though I
don't think athletes go and
say I suck at a movement
how do I hide it I i
I think they know the
movements they're going to
ride the line on.
I don't think they think they suck.
I think they know which
movements you're going to
ride the line on and they
do try to hide it.
And it's been part of the
space for a very long time.
And I'm not picking on Dallin.
Maybe Dallin didn't do that.
But I do know that it's
happened in the past.
I just know that this example,
I looked at this video,
so I knew that the GHD
machine was far away.
And so if I fast forward
this to where he's doing the GHD,
for me to see the hip at the top,
I can kind of tell.
But there are times where he
slides forward just a little bit,
and it's hard to judge at this distance.
So...
don't know it's just really
really far away but again
I'm not picking on dallin I
andrew stent says a hundred
percent disagree jonathan
many athletes play the game
with video like wearing all
black for squats which has
been called out many many times yeah um
And I don't even think
Dallin was the most
egregious at what was
happening during the semifinals.
So I hate that I used his video,
but I just knew that it was far away.
And so I was just using it as an example.
Jonathan says,
riding the line on movements
is the name of the game.
Right.
And if I'm a judge and I see
that you've moved the
camera that far away from
the part where you're riding the line,
I'm going to look closer.
That's what I'm just telling you.
Shay says, but let's do more online comps.
I know I hate, I hate online comps.
Dave Castro actually
announced that the masters
might get an opportunity to
do in person semis,
but I'm going to save that
topic for tomorrow with
Corey as he is elated over
that discussion or that announcement.
And so I want to have that
conversation with him tomorrow for sure.
So
Uh, there's that.
Um, I know many of you, gosh, right.
All of you have seen the
video that Hiller shared a
clip from Sunday night about,
about me being reached out
to by a prominent person in this,
in the space,
accusing me of group think I
did want to follow that up with,
I did get a call yesterday, um,
with a sort of an apology on that, uh,
and so what what I want to
say about it is they came
to the table with they
wanted to explain
themselves and what I told
them is I have been in this
space since I have built a
reputation where I don't
just bash on athletes I
don't name names I don't
do that I'm respectful
because I do a lot of
interviews and I want them
to feel free to talk to me
in an open and honest way
and that I'm not going to
use that against them in
the in the future
And so I've built this
reputation that I felt like
I should be given the
benefit of the doubt
whenever I make a statement.
And they did not afford me that at all.
I posted that out and you
immediately accused me of
group think and joining the
herd and all of this stuff.
And when I came back to you and said,
haven't I earned more than this?
They doubled down on that to me.
And so, um,
for that all to happen.
And then, so during our phone call,
an apology was given.
And, um, and, and I think that our,
our relationship has been
reestablished and we've
come to a pretty good understanding.
And so I just wanted to
follow up with that, um,
with that because it was a
good conversation after we
both kind of set our peace and, um,
and they did agree that I,
I should have been afforded the up,
the benefit of the doubt, um,
on the first, when I,
when I posted the picture
of the pyramid doing the
GHD sit up that I should
have been afforded, um,
the benefit of the doubt that I was just,
I was doing it for good
reasons and not to just bash people.
So, um,
So it was a good conversation.
I did get an apology through that.
And I think our relationship
is cool again and I will
continue to move forward in the space.
And that's the last I need
to talk about that.
Patrick Clark, you're not just respectful.
You are respected by athletes, peers,
coaches, etc.
I hope to.
I mean, that's really my goal.
I'm not doing this to hurt people.
I love the people I cover.
And I want to show them in
the best light possible.
ortega says it's okay to be
upset it's okay to have
feelings about it just
accept it and move on or
fight it and and get told
no and then move on so yeah
um and then I think that's
where we're at we we had it
out we talked it through um
and nobody was yelling at
each other yesterday it
just was a good conversation and uh
Yeah,
I think we're all in a good place now,
and we'll just move forward
like nothing ever happened, I guess.
But yeah, so that's happening.
It's true.
And then I got... So on Sunday night,
I tried to explain what I think the...
payout structure is with WFP.
And it's based on things I
heard from Will and Jackson
in different interviews.
And it was my understanding
that the contract that they
give to the athletes is a minimum.
This is a minimum guaranteed
amount of money that you
are going to earn this year.
Then through the course of the year,
you're going to earn money
at the events through prize money.
And so you offset your
contract with the prize
money until your prize
money goes over that guaranteed minimum.
And then you start making more money.
And I explained that on
Sunday night and it's been
clipped and it's been used
in a couple of different areas.
And I hope that I'm right.
It's just my interpretation
of what I've heard in
different interviews with them.
And it makes sense to me
because when you're giving
these guaranteed contracts,
it's not like giving them
money to come here.
It's to say at the very least,
you are going to make this
dollar amount throughout the year.
And then if you earn more
than that over top of what
the guaranteed minimum is,
then you get that on top of
everything else.
I know Siobhan tried to ask
Austin about that and he
didn't really even care
what anything of that was.
He's just going to collect
the check at the end of the
year is kind of what he said.
So I think,
I hope I got it right since
it's being clipped and used.
And again, I'm, you know,
the WFP has said that
they're going to get me one of the
uh,
one of the people from WFP on the show
this week or next week.
And I will ask and confirm
all of that when I have
them on to make sure that, uh,
to make sure that I have that accurately.
Uh, Jonathan Ortega says, Scott,
your hair looks real good.
Thanks, man.
It's just really long.
And, uh, with my wife, uh,
Recovering from knee surgery,
I just can't get out to get it cut.
So here we are.
And maybe I'll just keep it
like this for a while.
Ken Walters, it's like in sales,
it's a draw against commission.
Yeah.
I think that's the best way to put it.
But what I find funny is
people math has always come
pretty easy to me,
but when I watch people try
to do math that it's not easy for them.
I think it's pretty comical
trying to do that in their head.
I find it amusing.
A little bit the same Um,
The last thing I'm going to
talk about today is because
we talk about some entertainment stuff.
One of the shows that I've
found very entertaining on
TV is the show found.
If you've never seen it,
it is a woman who was
abducted as a child.
She finds her abductor late
in life and she holds him
captive in the basement of
her house in kind of like a
revenge thing.
And then her job has been to
find missing children in her adult life.
And then what she finds out
through the first season of
the show is that this guy
she has locked up in her
basement can actually help
her find some of these
children because he thinks
like the child abductors
that are out there today.
And he can identify the
reasons behind why they're doing this,
and it helps her to find these children.
Um, I really enjoy the show a lot.
And I think the second
season is even better than the first.
Um,
once they got past some weirdness at
the beginning of the season,
but they do capture this
guy and they lock him up.
Um, and so it makes it hard.
I was wondering where
they're going to go with it,
but they have found enough
content to keep it going.
But then it got canceled.
So NBC cancels it.
And they canceled like five shows.
And this is where I really
wanted to go with it.
The traditional networks,
like I'm fifty five.
If you wanted to watch a
show in most of my adult life,
you watch on ABC, NBC, CBS or Fox.
And when I was a kid,
Fox didn't even exist.
So you had to watch it in
those traditional manners.
Now you see these networks
like canceling all these mainstream shows,
scripted shows,
and they're saying that the
cost of running them and
paying the actors and
everybody behind it is getting too much.
So NBC has canceled five shows,
and they're not really
bringing anything new in
other than the NBA.
And so my question to you is,
are we going to use these
traditional networks now as
live action sports like the NFL, hockey,
NBA?
taking up college football,
taking up most of the prime
time schedule.
Cause like NBC now is going
to have Tuesday night, NBA basketball.
You're going to have Saturday night,
college football.
They're going to have Sunday night,
NFL football.
And those are three of the
seven prime time nights.
And they're being taken up by live sports.
And then it's going to be
accentuated with non-scripted TV.
Like Jimmy Fallon has a new
show that's going to,
it's apprentice-like,
but in the marketing world.
And it's going to be unscripted.
And it's a contest for
people that are going to win.
They're bringing back old
classic game shows like Family Feud,
Twenty Five Thousand Dollar Pyramid.
Wheel of Fortune primetime.
Jeopardy now runs a primetime hour.
All of that stuff that's
unscripted and much cheaper to run.
my, my answer, my question to you is,
is that going to be our
television on the main networks?
Because they've given up to
the streaming services who
are producing better
content like Yellowstone
and Landman and the last of us.
And, and I can go on and on and on.
And all of those are on
streaming services rather
than on the traditional networks.
They're the ones winning the awards.
They're the ones getting the
higher ratings.
Um,
I it's just like this big
epic shift in my life from
growing up with CBS, NBC, ABC,
and now we're going to all
the good content is going
to be on Netflix,
max Apple plus all of that.
And then the traditional
networks are going to be
all live sports and all unscripted TV.
Ken Walter says sports bring
in billion dollar contracts to networks.
The new shows they have to
pay out to actor streaming
services fund the cost
through subscriptions.
Yeah, I don't, I don't disagree,
but it's just, it's just, and can you're,
you're in my age bracket.
Like when we grew up, all of the,
the good scripted TV was on
the main networks.
And now it's, it's,
it's going to the streaming services.
And I don't, and I love live sports.
So I'm cool with like having
a Saturday night football
game and having a Sunday
night football game.
Now I'm not as big of an NBA fan.
So, but I can, I mean,
I have other options, but,
So I can watch things there.
The only thing that bums me
out is I also grew up with
like a show season that was
like twenty to twenty three episodes.
And now,
like all of the big shows are like
ten episodes, eight episodes.
So your season's like super short.
And if you binge it like
you're done and it's over.
Come on, kid.
You may be chronologically a
little bit older than me,
but like physically and mentally, man,
you're right here in our wheelhouse.
but yes, it's just, it's just weird.
It's just weird that there's
this like seismic shift all
of a sudden where like
these networks are canceling shows.
They're getting good ratings because it's,
and just because they can
do it cheaper other ways, um, is,
is just mind boggling to me.
So it was just an
observation I made as I'm
kind of looking at the news and,
and different things going
on in entertainment.
Um,
But yeah.
So and then yesterday I
talked about the movie Love Hurts,
which is old school Jackie
Chan kung fu movie.
It's actually free on Peacock now.
So you can stream it on
Peacock if you have that.
Again, my wife hated it.
So I'm not giving you like a
full on recommendation of that movie.
My wife hated it.
I like the nostalgic Jackie
Chan kung fu part of it.
I love the athleticism in
the in that aspect of everything.
And the funny ways that if
you if you ever watch that kind of stuff,
like earlier on in your life,
I think you'll enjoy.
So but that's really all I have today.
I'm sure we're going to get
some men's shifts on the
leaderboard either today or tomorrow.
And we'll go ahead and talk about those.
And again,
we can talk about Dave's week in
review tomorrow as well with Corey,
because he did make an announcement.
That's pretty cool about
what's happening in the age groups,
getting their opportunity
to qualify for the games
with in-person semifinals.
And I know Corey wants to
talk about that badly.
So he'll be on tomorrow
cooking Cajun with him.
And with that, guys,
I need to get back to work
today because my coworkers are out.
So I'm getting all of their stuff,
stuff ready.
um as well today so I've got
to get back to work so you
knuckleheads get back to
work as well we'll see
everybody next time on
lunch with the clydesdale bye guys
