You know what time it is.
It's time for Lunch with the Clydesdale.
It's Monday.
It's Games Week.
Let's get it on.
What's going on, everybody?
We're going to do the dart throw.
It's Games Week.
I got to hit a bullseye finally, right?
Not that time.
Damn it.
Not even close, actually.
Awful.
Didn't even stick anywhere.
Just fell to the floor.
all right um we got a lot of
people in the chat already
what's going on jose ed uh
vicky shea we've got jeremy
we've got lito holly george
man crazy crazy crazy all
right ed he is jazzed
Here's what I'm not jazzed about.
Here's what I'm not jazzed about.
I ordered my get jazz
stickers paid for expedited shipping.
And right now it's saying,
and they're not going to be
here till after I leave for the games.
How is that possible?
Man,
I paid like a lot of money for
expedited shipping to get
those for the games.
Hopefully FedEx is wrong and
there'll be here tomorrow.
Um,
But, yeah,
I'm hoping to have them with me
at the games.
If not,
I'll mail some out or I'll have
them at the Masters games or whatever.
So, Jake,
I don't know what – have you had
a Vajazzle?
I don't even know what that is.
Can they change the delivery
address and can you have
them shipped to you in New York?
I guess I could.
I could see it has a manage my shipment.
Usually FedEx is wrong and I
do get things quicker than they say,
but I don't know.
We'll see.
So what do we got going on today?
Spin takes a vacation.
I hear Scott ramps up the shows.
I think it's been a gradual
ramp up for a couple months.
Spin just doing the show
alone gives me like a
freedom that I never had before.
That I don't have to worry
about anybody else being
upset about what I say.
I can just say what I think
off the top of my head.
I don't know.
It's been fun.
So one thing I do want to
announce before we get
going is if you were with us last night,
Allison Scuds was in the chat.
That started a conversation.
I've been texting with her
for the last hour.
She is going to be filling
in for Carolyn over the weekend for us.
So when we are doing the wrap-up shows,
the preview show,
and she's going to do some
collaborations with us
throughout the day at the games.
But Allison Scuds will be
part of our team in Albany.
Her fiance, Raf Duran,
is competing on a team.
So she's going to jump in
for Carolyn so Carolyn can
focus on competing as
opposed to doing the show.
And we're super excited about that.
She has tested most of these workouts.
So she has some insight as
we go through them to be
able to talk about them
because she has done them.
And we're really,
really excited to have her
knowledge and expertise
with us for the weekend.
So I wanted to announce that
little late addition.
Yeah, it is.
I've been friends with
Allison for a long time.
People probably don't even know this,
but she grew up here in Columbus.
She was...
really good all-star
cheerleading athlete here
in columbus uh before she
went to the university of
miami um where she got
where then if you don't
know she hooked up with
noah and uh keto trinidad
and all those folks down
there but yeah she's from
here in columbus and I've
known alice in a long time
so super excited to have
her uh on for the week and
that's going to be great
Dave's Week in Review just happened.
I know some of you in the
chat have already said you've seen it.
He made some announcements.
One of those...
One of those is that someone
wrote in and asked if Lauren, in fact,
had enhanced media credentials.
He confirmed on the show
that she does not.
I want to make this clear.
I'm just happy I have them.
This wasn't ever about hers
being ripped away and that
it was more about that I
just wanted the CrossFit
space to notice the people
that were working hard.
And some people get this
type of access and kind of abuse it.
And I just wanted that to
start being noticed.
So my life is not affected
whether she had it or not,
but it is affected if I have it or not.
And I'm really excited that
I have it and I get to
bring you enhanced coverage
over the next week.
So that's what I'm excited
about focusing on me and not anybody else,
but I'm going there.
I'm going to have fun.
I'm going to do some fun
things and I hope you guys enjoy it.
He also was there live on the floor.
You could see them setting up the rigs.
Uh,
what's being set up currently is two
rigs and a Zeus rig.
Um,
And so that was super cool to see that.
He also said he's going to
be doing nightly updates from the games.
So he'll be going on giving
nightly updates throughout
the CrossFit Games,
which I think is really
cool for him to do.
And then floor suites.
He was actually standing in
what they're building as floor suites.
So right on the floor by the action,
they are putting these,
it looks like about twelve
seat floor suites in there.
And you are right there in.
Oh, my God.
Like right on top of the action.
If you have one of those floor suites.
man,
you are going to have an awesome time.
Awesome time.
And so if you have those, I just,
it's as good as the media pit,
like maybe even better.
Oh, we've got a new member,
Plant Powered Fitness.
Thank you so much for becoming a member.
That really does help us out,
helps us support the show,
support paying for all the
software we use to run this thing.
We've got heard in the building.
Uh, ed AI, honestly, Scott,
I'm kind of over the drama.
Just want to focus on the
athletes that are going to
throw down at the games.
I mean, let's be honest.
Drama brings eyes to the table.
It brings butts to the seats.
Uh, but at the end of the day this weekend,
we're going to have a great
competition and it's going
to be fun to watch that.
Dinner with the Clydesdale for me?
Okay.
Oh, yeah,
because you're not in the United States.
Now I remember.
Yes.
I'm very excited for your
content this week.
Yeah, I got a nine-hour drive ahead of me.
So going to do a lot of thinking there.
Think about what we're going to do.
I have some vignettes
planned that we're going to
release again to members
first for twenty four hours.
And then we're going to move
those over to the public
view twenty four hours
after their release.
So that's going to happen this week.
I did also want to talk
about the Friday IG live that I put out,
got a lot of traction,
got a lot of comments,
probably the most I've ever
had on a post I've ever made.
And, and here's,
and I want to be done with
WFP for this week because
this is games week.
This is going to be my last
statement on the WFP.
I was being critical of
their lack of performance
in promoting their events and
They have not done anything
to promote their events.
I showed the numbers that
show how much content they
put out compared to what
CrossFit has put out.
And then people are
defending WFP in those comments by saying,
yeah,
but look at this shiny object over here,
even though this shiny
object has nothing to do
with the content you've produced.
In that statement,
I was not being critical of
any other aspect of WFP
other than them promoting
their events and a promise
that they made that they
were going to use new and
creative ways to promote their athletes.
And that has been a promise
that has been broken.
That is what I was pointing out.
That is what I was illustrating.
And if I'm an athlete and
those promises like that
are being broken now, what is to come?
Some people have decided to
put all their eggs in the WFP basket.
And now you're finding out
that these promises were
made and they're broken.
How confident are you moving
forward that that is going
to remain a trend?
Or are they going to all of
a sudden turn it around and
do things the right way?
I don't know.
I haven't been critical of
everything the WFP has done.
There are things that
they've done that I've liked.
But I'm just pointing out in
this particular case, they have really,
really dropped the ball and
they've broken promises to
the athletes and the fans.
Barbell spins his people, just one person.
For the most part, it was one person.
There were a couple of other
people defending WFP as well,
but not as vigorously for sure.
And a comment back to that
person was that if they
spend as much time
producing content as they
did defending the WFP in
the chats and on Instagram,
we wouldn't even be having
this discussion.
And A.I.
says, say his name, Spin.
And Spin said his name.
And I have to agree with that.
If you spend as much time
creating the comment or the
content as you did to make comments,
we wouldn't even have to
have this conversation
about the lack of content
that's out there.
and again trying to divert
the conversation to other
aspects that we're not even
discussing the problem is I
fell for the bait and I got
into the argument I don't
know it felt good on friday
We'll see.
Mallorca.
Is it Mallorca?
Looks nice though.
It does.
Yeah.
It felt good on Friday when
I was in there.
Um,
Felt okay.
I still felt good on Saturday, too,
I guess.
Coach Sir Moose.
Scott,
do you think Saxon left out of
frustration at the lack of
foresight and a concrete
plan on WFP's part, mainly Will's,
or because he didn't
anticipate the flack he got
for jumping to WFP?
I think he had to anticipate
the flack for sure.
But one of my goals this
week is to talk to Saxon.
Whether he will talk to me on air or not,
I don't know.
But we have been friends for a long time.
And when I say friends,
not just from an interview standpoint.
He lives here in Ohio.
He used to come to my gym all the time.
We are truly friends.
I'm hoping that he will at
least talk to me.
and I can at least ask him some questions.
Whether I get it on film or not,
I don't know.
Because the fact that Dave
confirmed that he talked to Saxon,
Saxon is going to be at the games,
and that quick turnaround
makes me think that there
was something that happened
that forced him out and
forced him back to the CrossFit space.
eight hour drive.
You have podcasts lined up
to listen to the drive.
I do.
I do for sure.
Um,
maybe he jumped off the boat before it
sinks.
Maybe.
Again, I don't know why he left,
but he did have sight as to
what was going on behind the scenes,
and he chose to leave.
At least we think he chose to leave.
All right.
So this is why I posed the one question.
Should there be a tribute to
Lazar at this year's CrossFit Games?
We have Prescott here saying, yes,
there should definitely be
a Lazar tribute and a
workout named after him.
Then we have Jody saying, Prescott,
I don't agree, seems cringe.
And that's exactly why I
brought up this question,
because I want to say it ahead of time.
There is no possible way
CrossFit can do anything wrong
or not anything this week
and is going to be a
win-win for everybody.
CrossFit isn't a damned if you do,
damned if you don't situation.
If they do a tribute,
the people that are mad at
CrossFit that Lazar died
last year at their event are going to say,
keep his name out of your mouth.
You shouldn't have done anything.
We're moving on without you.
you don't have the right to
do anything to remember him.
If they don't do anything,
people are going to be like,
we loved Lazar.
He should be remembered.
He was a great athlete.
We wanted to see everything.
We want to see him
memorialized for eternity
because of the great athlete he was.
There is no way CrossFit
wins in this situation.
So going into the week,
I cannot imagine the
conversations people are
having about this subject itself.
I don't think they're going
to win either way.
Either way,
there's going to be a large
group of people pissed off
about what they do.
See, Larry, no,
just leave it alone for now.
One hundred percent.
They're doomed if they do
and or if they don't correct.
Just going to be criticized
no matter what they do.
I agree with Jody and Scott.
Yeah.
Damned if you do something
and damned if you don't.
maybe a plaque or something.
Yeah.
I, I think if you do something,
it's not never going to be good enough.
And the people that are
really mad don't want anything done.
I just, I, I don't,
I don't envy them at all in
this situation.
Maybe legally they're not
allowed to mention him anymore.
I can't imagine that's part
of the settlement.
No, it becomes unnecessary baggage.
TTT just posted a Lazar
workout and put it out there.
If they do something,
they have to do it every
year like Torian does.
And then I think that becomes weird too.
Do it like other major
sports with a badge sticker
on the jersey or give
athletes an option to.
Could be the team requested
HQ rescinds the rights of his portrayal.
Could be.
I just kind of wanted to
talk about it in front of
whatever happens this week.
I don't know what their plans are.
um but I think I just know
that whatever the plan is
is it's not going to go
over well half the
community is going to hate
it half the community is
going to love it and again
it's the whole damned if
you do don't damned if you
don't and uh um so there
Uh, Kenneth says,
get anything out of Dave's
interview with seven on Saturday.
You didn't mention it on
last night's show.
Last night's show was packed.
We were over with what we had.
Um, I enjoyed Dave's interview.
I thought it was really good.
I got a lot out of it with
the Saxon piece for sure.
Um,
But again,
the coverage of everything is
ramping up at this point,
and it's really getting
hard to keep up with
everything and to keep the
agendas on these shows in a
way that I can maintain it.
Amanda says,
make his workout an official Hero WOD,
then it's there forever.
See,
that alone would probably create
controversy because hero
workouts are reserved
generally for first
responders and military heroes.
So people are going to be,
it shouldn't be named a hero workout,
maybe just a named workout.
Ryan says, with your newfound popularity,
do you see any expansion to your shows?
not not at the current time
right now we have a busy
month planned uh we got the
games this week um I'm
doing a behind the scenes
of the masters crossfit
games and and then after
and then after that every
year we look at what's what
we have going on I have a
much smaller team now than
I used to have um
but I always look at the end
of the year and look at like,
what can we do differently?
What can we do to differentiate ourselves?
And right now I just want to keep,
I want to get better at what we're doing.
I just started these solo
shows a few months ago and
I really did it to get
better at just talking to a
camera instead of talking
to other people.
Um,
And so I like that.
I like that.
I'm just getting better right now.
And then the Sunday night
show has been gathering
steam for some time.
And I think I have the right
group together, um,
that have expertise in
different areas and that
are willing to share their,
their ideas and, um, their thoughts.
Carolyn and Jamie are awesome.
And I, uh,
I love that team so right
now I think just hone in
our skills with what we
have and then we'll we'll
look in in the off season
um at which direction we're
going do you plan on to
track down dawn fall and
ask him anything um if if I
run into dawn fall I'll ask
him some questions for sure
Thank you, Chris.
All right.
So last night we did the top tens.
I want to just go over mine real quick.
I'm trying to pull it up now.
Here's my women's pick.
So I'll blow this up.
Had a lot, a lot of discussion last night.
I have Tia winning, of course.
And then Ariel Lohan, Abigail Domet,
Lucy Campbell, Olivia Kerstetter,
Alexis Raptus, Haley Adams, Fisa Goffey,
Danielle Brandon, Annika Greer.
Um,
Oh, man.
Thank you so much, Terry.
Gas and safe travels.
Twenty dollar super chat.
Thank you.
You're the best.
Um.
Eight, eleven, eight out of eleven.
I don't know what that means.
Oh, no.
Um.
Scott,
what's your handle on the Heat One app?
I'll be watching.
It's really hard to get, Tyler.
It is Clydesdale One.
Anika, top ten, nice.
I truly hope so.
We talked about this last night.
Anika has home runs, and at the games,
winning events is huge.
Winning events is huge.
Yeah,
she's going to have some holes where
she doesn't finish up there.
But when you're clipping off ninety seven,
one hundred points at a clip,
it moves you up the leaderboard.
Think Guy a couple of years
ago when he won three events.
And and that propelled him
into the top ten,
even though he had some big
and major holes.
I look at her in the same vein.
She has a.
She has some amazing skills
that she's going to be at
the top of and some others
that she'll fall down.
Like, subscribe, and join.
I'm not getting these fractions.
August eleventh,
something is going to happen.
Oh, maybe.
Fee just ahead of DBE.
Yeah,
DBE I have in the top ten because
Talon alone,
she'll finish in the top ten.
I don't think this is going
to be a great year for her.
Are these your official Heat One picks?
They are.
I actually just copied and pasted them.
Well, not pasted them,
but I just wrote them down
directly from my Heat One app.
So these are my Heat One app picks.
Daniel Brandon,
Talon Lone will get her there.
Fisa Goff, he's having a great season.
And I wanted to push Fi up a
little bit more.
And I wasn't sure about Haley Adams,
but the way she talks is
she isn't even ready.
In everything she did,
Mayhem and the online semi,
she wasn't even prepped.
And she did okay.
If she is now going to be
prepped for the games,
I see this being a pretty
good top ten finish for her.
On the men's side...
We have, let me get out of this.
Men's side,
what I find very interesting is
that last night, Jamie,
Carolyn and I all had the
exact same ten men in the top ten,
just in different orders.
And then I watched Amanda Hari today.
She had the exact same top ten men,
just in a different order.
So the more I'm watching,
the more it seems like
there's pretty much a consensus around.
And so my top ten picks for
the men are Jeff Adler, Dallin Pepper,
James Sprague, Jason Hopper,
Austin Hadfield, Jay Crouch,
Ricky Garrard, Justin Medeiros,
Roman Krennikoff, Colton Mertens.
And...
I am not confident in the
order of any of these.
I think anybody in the top
nine could win the CrossFit Games.
And so that makes it so I'm
really not confident in the
order in which my top ten looks.
A boss man.
Colton in tenths.
Tenth.
That's blasphemous.
I know.
Again,
I've talked about this a couple times.
I love Colton to death.
I've known him for a long time.
I think he's going to be great.
He's going to win some events for sure.
But with his stature,
he has to exert so much to compete.
And he does.
But that takes its toll over
a nine or ten event weekend.
And we cannot forget that.
That that is going to take its toll.
I think he is getting better.
His best finish ever was nineteenth.
Getting into the top ten
would be a huge
accomplishment for Colton
and huge improvement.
And I think he could finish
anywhere from ten to three or two.
I just don't think it's enough to win.
But I think there's some
real wild cards in here.
Jay Crouch, we haven't seen enough on U.S.
soil to see how he competes.
Any word on Colton's back?
Is he better now?
I haven't heard anything specifically.
And I don't think he'd tell
you at this point anyway.
Ricky will always do better
than Jay at the games
because of his home run abilities.
He'll always be up there
despite his holes.
Colton could be the same.
My thing with Ricky is he
seems to be jinxed at this moment.
Nickel and dime injuries
have taken him out the last couple years.
And...
I just want to see him get
through a whole game's healthy.
If he does, Ricky's on the podium.
He just has not been able to
get through a whole weekend healthy.
CK Kevin says, Colton has new gold shoes.
His back will be fine.
Yeah, those shoes will fix him right up,
I'm sure.
Those are fancy.
All I can think of when I
see those gold shoes is
Michael Johnson running at the Olympics,
and he knew he was going to
break the world record,
so he put on gold shoes to do it.
I haven't seen Amy Kringle
in anyone's top ten.
I'm surprised.
Where do you think she'll place?
I think she's probably an
eight to twelve range,
maybe eight to thirteen.
I think she has stuff she's good at,
but the stuff she's really good at,
other people are really good at.
And so I don't see her home
run ability getting her the top points.
And that's where her and
Anika are a little bit different.
If the volume at proven
hasn't broken Ricky,
I think he'll be absolutely
fine at the games.
I hope so.
If they made a fourteen,
I'd get them gold kicks.
Larry, you've been cracking me up, man.
See you walking around the
arena in your gold shoes.
That'd be funny.
Does Colton actually have gold shoes?
He does.
He just signed with a new shoe company,
and he has gold and black
versions of those shoes.
He showed them off on Instagram.
Let me see if I can find that real quick.
Here we go.
So those are the black lifters.
There they are.
There they are.
Gold shoes.
All right.
Yeah, Kenneth,
you need to get some new shoes.
Aha has Amy in fourth.
Okay.
Larry Young,
have I been too positive since
they announced a true strength test?
You have been so positive.
I'm just not used to you not
coming in here and not complaining about
Everything is too light.
You got your one rep max
back squat and now you're
just a happy man.
Hard to contain.
So what I'm going to leave
with is last night we talked about
The fact that Tyson Bajent may, in fact,
be at the CrossFit Games.
And I asked a fact or
fiction whether or not I
would act like a
twelve-year-old if I ran
into Tyson Bajent at the CrossFit Games.
So, I...
I am trying to find the spot, but my,
here we go.
I'm going to share this real quick.
And then I want to clarify.
So last night show, I asked this question.
if I get to meet Tyson Bajent.
If people don't realize,
I listen to two types of podcasts,
CrossFit, Chicago Bears, all day long.
That's all I listen to.
What if you interview him?
Oh, Lord.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Someone check on Scott.
Yeah.
See, I need to make it there Saturday,
if that's what day is coming,
just to see this.
All right.
So I'm a massive Chicago Bears fan.
Yes,
I will probably lose my mind if I get
a chance to talk to Tyson Bajent.
But I'll try to keep it
composed on the outside.
Inside, I'll be a mess.
But on the outside,
I'm going to try to keep it
nice and mellow.
I don't want to blow my cool.
Don't want to blow my opportunity.
I don't want to scream and flip out.
But I love the Chicago Bears.
And that means I love
everybody that plays for them.
Scott, fanboy, teeny bopper.
Yep, that's me.
But I got to keep that on the inside,
keeping that on the inside.
I got to keep it composed on
the outside so I can just shake his hand.
I have so many questions,
so many questions, but,
and I love when he goes on
Savon because I can
actually hear about insight
about my team that's unfiltered.
and that makes me very very
happy so I am and I can't
believe that my partner
jamie latimer beat baygent
and won the beat baygent
women's title if you didn't
know that so um jose says
we got to make this happen
yeah I I so so want to meet him
Everyone in the chat like
this live stream so we can
keep Scott in our algorithm.
Bear down.
Seven or Hiller have to arrange this.
Ask him about be Beijing to
him when it comes out.
There is rumor they're going
to do it at the games.
It may not be in the facility,
but it may be happening at the games.
Holly says we have to have a
fainting couch nearby.
The Bajans are good people.
Yeah,
his dad's going to be there arm
wrestling too, which is pretty cool.
Ben Johnson's going to do great things.
I hope so.
Bruce Wayne did beat Bajan
and got seventy three reps.
Nice job.
Jamie ended up with ninety
one as the top finishing female.
Who's arm wrestling, Travis?
I think it's open to the public, right?
You can go take them on and
they're giving away prizes.
Don't forget to hand Scott a
protein bar and stand there
and watch him eat it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Hopefully being embedded with Hattie, uh,
I'm going to film her when
she's eating and doing her meals, uh,
that will trigger me to
actually eat this time.
Uh, yeah.
Jamie's a bad ads or,
or bad-ass probably bad-ass.
I'll translate for Bruce.
Uh, Jamie is a bad-ass.
She's trying to get there
for this weekend.
Man, I hope she gets there.
It's so much fun when she's around.
Truly,
truly appreciate her and all she's
done for this channel over
the last couple years.
She's traveled with me.
She's been my partner in crime.
She has done as much as
anybody to help us do what we do here.
So with that, guys,
I got to get back to work.
It's Monday.
I'm heading out for Albany, Albany.
I don't know why they changed that on me.
I have family that live in
upstate New York and it's
always been Albany.
Why the hell is it now Albany?
It makes no sense to me.
I heard some accountant and
a gridly guy are arm
wrestling at the games.
Okay.
It's still Albany.
Thank you, Kevin.
So I'm heading to Albany out
tomorrow night.
I'm going to go about halfway,
and then I'm going to
finish my trip on Wednesday morning,
pick up my credentials,
hook up with Hattie,
and then start filming right away.
I got to hook up with Allison.
She's going to do some stuff
during the days while I'm
kind of embedded.
And to get us some content
to put out for everybody.
I also have a couple
vignettes planned in my head.
And some I've actually
talked to the people already.
So we've got that.
All this,
we're going to try to release the
vignettes on the fly
throughout the weekend.
The Hattie Embedded will
take a little bit of time
to edit and get out.
But that's going to be awesome.
With that, guys,
like and subscribe to the channel.
You guys have been awesome.
We have blown it up over this week.
We've topped three hundred

subscribers over this week.
And if you haven't already
hit that subscribe button
and then we have a membership.
It's as low as two dollars
and ninety nine cents a
month to help us just

every one of you support
who joined that channel.
