0:31
what's going on everybody
0:34
welcome to lunch with the
0:35
clydesdale we are live in
0:37
mitchell south dakota on a
0:40
pretty rocky road because
0:42
we are headed to the corn
0:45
palace the world's only
0:48
palace made of corn and
0:52
maybe we'll get a peek at
0:53
that here in a second or two
0:55
But we are in Mitchell, South Dakota.
0:57
We're cruising across the country.
0:59
Trip is going great.
1:04
Yeah, Jake got the beard.
1:06
Man, I can grow a beard.
1:07
If I grunt,
1:08
I can grow a beard in like three hours.
1:11
Yeah, just grunting hard.
1:14
So, yeah, we are chilling here.
1:17
Going through a little community.
1:19
Hoping to find the corn
1:22
palace here in a minute or two.
1:25
So I'm only supposed to be
1:26
two minutes off the exit.
1:27
So yeah, fun stuff.
1:33
No, Jake, I did not say porn palace.
1:36
I said corn palace with a C,
1:39
with a C. But yeah, man,
1:46
I got a lot of people in
1:47
the chat already.
1:47
Lita, what's going on?
1:48
Holly, Jody, Jake, Jay Burch.
1:54
Um, Holly, what's going on, Holly?
1:59
Uh, and Jody is asking,
2:01
have you seen the largest ball of twine?
2:05
I have not.
2:06
I've not.
2:07
I saw the spam museum.
2:10
Um,
2:11
but my daughter wouldn't let me stop at
2:13
the spam museum.
2:15
Um,
2:16
apparently you have to have a key that
2:17
you turn around the
2:18
building and eventually it opens up.
2:22
So we couldn't get that to work real well.
2:27
But yeah,
2:27
we saw the Jolly Green Giant
2:29
statue yesterday in Minnesota.
2:33
We have seen the Spam Museum.
2:37
And now we're going to go to
2:38
the Palace of Corn.
2:44
I hope it's as exciting as it sounds.
2:51
We are weaving on some
2:53
streets in this little town.
2:55
Um, I have no idea what's going on Lex.
3:00
Um, barometer world.
3:03
I don't know about barometer world.
3:06
I did not see that.
3:08
Um,
3:10
What is a spam museum?
3:12
So, Lito, there is a meat.
3:15
It is a processed ham and
3:17
stuff meat that is
3:21
basically used when it's
3:24
end of days and you need
3:26
meat to last on a shelf for a long time.
3:29
And it's called spam.
3:32
It's not real tasty.
3:34
And I just found it humorous
3:35
that there's a museum
3:38
giving its ode to it here in, well,
3:42
I was back in Minnesota.
3:44
So, ah, that's spam.
3:47
Yeah, that's spam.
3:53
Lex says, spam is where all of our,
3:55
the spam museum is where
3:56
all our unwanted emails go to.
4:00
before we delete them yeah
4:02
that's awesome and lita
4:06
said there's a museum for
4:08
that apparently there is
4:11
apparently there is uh
4:13
yesterday man I'm telling
4:15
you yesterday all we saw
4:17
were fields upon fields upon fields
4:23
Um, my daughter joked that, um,
4:26
there were so many fields
4:28
that it was like AI produced, um,
4:31
the Midwest and,
4:33
and just hit duplicate over
4:35
and over and over again.
4:37
And here, oh my gosh,
4:39
it's the corn palace.
4:41
It is way bigger than I
4:42
thought it would be.
4:44
So I am going to turn my camera.
4:48
If you can see.
4:51
There is the corn palace
4:53
made of cobs of corn.
4:55
I don't know if you could see that.
5:01
I can't switch to, um,
5:07
I can't switch to the other
5:08
camera on my phone or on my,
5:12
you're just going to park here.
5:13
Okay.
5:16
I'll try to get out and get
5:17
a shot of it behind me, but man,
5:20
it is much,
5:21
much larger than I anticipated it to be.
5:29
So, yeah.
5:34
Jake says,
5:35
imagine if there were a fire there,
5:37
all the popcorn.
5:43
And I don't know if you can
5:44
kind of see it behind me
5:45
here as we're going around it.
5:50
It's hard to park when you
5:51
have a trailer on the back
5:52
of your pickup truck.
5:56
So they have specific RV parking,
5:59
which is helpful.
6:01
Okay.
6:01
We're going to go to the RV parking.
6:04
I'm pulling there,
6:05
and then I'll walk around
6:06
with you guys and show you.
6:08
But I also wanted to talk
6:09
about Wadland Fest has
6:10
already kicked off this morning.
6:12
If you haven't seen any of that,
6:15
the first event went down this morning.
6:18
It looked like some run,
6:19
maybe some sandbag squats.
6:24
And the leaders at this point...
6:28
are Var Thurman Moe and Lucy
6:33
Campbell and Andra Moistus
6:35
on the women's side.
6:37
And on the men's side,
6:40
we have Miguel Garcia.
6:42
Oh, they have two events in.
6:45
It's all screwed up now.
6:47
But Colin Bossard won the first event.
6:51
So he was in the lead.
6:54
And then now there's a bunch of...
6:58
Bunch of people who've done
7:00
the second event, but some haven't.
7:02
So the leaderboard's all messed up.
7:04
But you can check out all of
7:06
the events on Be Friendly Fitness.
7:09
He's broadcasting those on
7:11
his YouTube channel if you
7:12
want to go check that out.
7:20
Kenneth is saying my beard
7:22
is great looking.
7:24
Well, at least one part of me is.
7:27
So there you go.
7:30
All right,
7:30
so we're a couple blocks away now.
7:33
I'm going to get out and
7:35
traipse over to the Corn Palace,
7:38
and we'll just keep you
7:39
guys live as we're doing it.
7:46
And you got maple and syrup
7:49
in the picture now.
8:00
Okay,
8:04
so it's a beautiful day here in South
8:06
Dakota.
8:09
Watched a little bit of
8:10
stuff on the CrossFit space,
8:13
but mostly I was paying
8:14
attention to the NFL draft
8:19
last night and just kind of
8:21
paying attention to my
8:22
daughter in the road.
8:24
Um,
8:25
that's our U-Haul and the pickup truck
8:28
that we're heading to Montana in.
8:33
So, uh, Holly says pups.
8:38
Yep.
8:38
We've got two dogs riding along with us.
8:43
A train to live.
8:45
The beard is bearding.
8:47
It is.
8:50
It's popping out everywhere.
8:55
I was blessed with that gene
8:56
from my father who could
9:02
grow a beard in a couple hours.
9:05
It gets frustrating when you
9:06
want to shave though
9:06
because you can't stay
9:08
clean shaven for very long at all.
9:16
I literally have an electric
9:18
razor on my desk at all times.
9:23
if I'm trying to go clean shaven.
9:26
So how are you guys today?
9:32
It is windy, cool,
9:36
but the sun is shining here
9:37
in South Dakota.
9:41
So we're having a good time.
9:54
This is a much bigger town.
9:55
I thought this was just
9:56
going to be like along the
9:58
side of a road somewhere.
10:04
But it's not.
10:10
It's in the middle of a
10:11
little town called Mitchell.
10:23
But
10:25
Yeah, fun sharing a trip with you guys.
10:33
What else is going on?
10:40
The Bears took a tight end
10:41
with their first pick last night.
10:43
Not the one I wanted.
10:46
But the one I got.
10:49
So you gotta take what you can get.
10:53
Yeah.
10:56
So just kind of meh over that.
11:04
Trying to think what else happened.
11:12
Oh, yeah.
11:13
What do you guys think
11:14
about... What do you guys
11:20
think about the teams only
11:23
being able to lift...
11:26
the weights on their table.
11:31
For the men,
11:33
that maxes out at four-twenty-five.
11:40
I thought about it, and I thought,
11:46
it's a way to not have outliers.
11:50
That if the most they kind of cap,
11:56
So the super strong people
11:58
can't become outliers.
12:01
It's the only thing I can think of.
12:12
Because why would you limit
12:14
someone's ability to lift
12:19
by giving them predetermined caps?
12:28
Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
12:30
It does cap out at four twenty five.
12:33
It's pretty heavy front squat.
12:36
But I'm sure there's lots of
12:37
men who can do that.
12:41
It's got to be that they
12:42
want to keep it close.
12:51
Holly says makes sense, but still odd.
12:54
Yeah, I don't.
12:57
I don't really understand it,
13:00
but that's the only reason
13:06
I can think of it though,
13:08
is they're trying to
13:08
prevent the outliers from
13:11
affecting the leaderboard so much.
13:21
Lita says, it's weird.
13:22
I don't know why they're
13:23
trying to reinvent the wheel.
13:25
But I guess if you're strong,
13:27
you can just do four twenty
13:28
five for three and win it
13:30
on the tiebreak.
13:33
Yeah.
13:36
I didn't look to see what
13:37
the tiebreak was exactly,
13:38
but like it's it's going to
13:40
cluster it all up.
13:42
I mean,
13:43
there's going to be batches of
13:44
people with similar weights.
13:48
I know I've seen teams that
13:49
have like a strong female
13:50
and a strong male that
13:52
probably cap out on both.
13:55
it's just what your other
13:55
people can do and I'm sure
13:59
there's going to be quite a
14:00
few ties quite a few so I
14:06
don't know I just found it
14:08
like an odd thing to do but
14:11
it's their comp so yeah
14:27
anything else going on I
14:32
think uh lucy campbell's
14:35
gonna do well at wadfest
14:41
she looks strong on her way
14:43
back like I think that time
14:45
off has made her really
14:46
hungry and can't wait to
14:50
see what she does
14:59
so with all the dropouts
15:05
it's really become like a
15:08
top four kind of thing so I
15:22
don't know if you guys can
15:23
see behind me there we go
15:26
we're at the corn palace
15:29
Those are all corn cobs of
15:32
different colors there.
15:40
Lito says tie break is the
15:42
time it took you to do three leaf,
15:44
the three lifts.
15:46
Okay.
15:56
Lucy's going to struggle to
15:57
qualify to six of that
15:58
competition with eighty
15:59
competitors and two strength events.
16:02
Yeah, that stinks.
16:08
I saw that Jay Birch.
16:11
Hiller's already on the sandbag squats.
16:14
Yeah,
16:14
depth is definitely an issue with those.
16:23
So...
16:27
there we go a little more of
16:29
the palace for you guys
16:41
right there it is the sign
16:43
world's only corn palace
16:57
There's some more artwork into the side.
17:09
There we go.
17:15
And here we go around.
17:17
There's Statue of Liberty.
17:26
And
17:28
It's all the way down.
17:32
Pretty cool, huh?
17:35
Give you guys a little taste
17:36
of South Dakota while we're here.
17:46
Jody asks, is that building shellacked?
17:52
What happens in the rain and snow?
17:53
I don't know.
17:55
looks like the corn cobs are
17:57
have some kind of substance
17:58
on them the straw can't
18:02
really tell jody jay birch
18:08
twenty twenty five wonder
18:09
of the world yeah sure it's
18:14
the only one in the world
18:17
must have pure probably
18:18
urethane coating yeah the
18:20
corn cobs definitely have
18:21
something on them
18:23
but there's wheat and some
18:26
other like grain embedded
18:30
in there too and it's it
18:35
doesn't look like it has
18:36
much on it because the
18:38
straw is you can see pieces
18:40
of it um kind of fraying
18:44
off where the cobs you can
18:46
see like in the cracks
18:48
there's something there for sure
18:55
Jody says, well, the problem is, Jody,
19:00
is the corn cobs are up high.
19:02
So I don't know how close I
19:03
can get to those.
19:08
The wheat and the other grain are lower.
19:13
I'll try to get as close as I can,
19:15
but you can kind of see in the cracks.
19:20
especially on this Eiffel Tower one.
19:22
There's definitely material
19:25
in between the cobs.
19:27
So I'm trying, I don't know if you can,
19:31
if I can, no, I can't.
19:35
I don't know.
19:37
They're way above my head.
19:40
I would need a very tall
19:41
ladder to get up there, Jody.
19:48
So like the picture is corn
19:50
cobs and then right below
19:52
it is like a straw and then
19:54
another grain is the darker,
19:56
the darker color.
20:02
And the straw is kind of
20:04
broken apart and frayed out
20:06
like the grain is too.
20:09
And it doesn't look like it
20:10
has anything on it.
20:16
Put your daughter on your shoulder.
20:17
Come on, man.
20:19
Yeah.
20:19
I wished I can't zoom in this mode at all.
20:32
Um,
20:33
apparently it's replaced and designed
20:34
every year.
20:35
I don't know.
20:37
I don't know, Holly.
20:39
I've never been here before
20:40
to know what the design's always been,
20:42
but it's really freaking cool.
20:50
Yeah, it's really cool.
20:54
Jay Burch is trying to tell
20:55
us what the grains are.
21:01
I don't know.
21:02
But, yeah.
21:11
Can't wait to see what the
21:12
teams do this week and us
21:14
getting some videos of stuff going on.
21:15
There we go.
21:36
Sponsored by the Lions Club.
21:41
They raised funds for a very
21:43
long time for this.
21:47
But yeah, fun little place to stop.
21:51
Today's gonna be our fun stop day.
21:55
doing this and we're going
21:56
to the badlands right after
21:58
that mount rushmore and
22:00
then tomorrow is haul it
22:01
all the way to um mattis or
22:05
to uh mount montana uh
22:08
great falls tomorrow so
22:10
yeah we're taking our time
22:12
today and then we're gonna
22:16
really haul tomorrow uh
22:24
I just searched on Instagram, Corn Palace,
22:26
tons of photos.
22:30
Yeah, it's free.
22:31
Everything's free.
22:31
You can go in for free.
22:35
It's just, yeah, something weird.
22:41
It's two miles off of I-Ninety.
22:44
So two miles off the interstate,
22:47
and then you can come see it.
22:54
Jody says,
22:54
get a picture in front with the signage.
23:00
Yeah,
23:01
I'll probably get a picture here in a
23:02
second.
23:03
Um,
23:04
but I probably won't stay on much
23:05
longer with you guys.
23:06
I just wanted to hop on,
23:08
give you a taste of the
23:08
road and what we're doing here.
23:12
And talk about WOD,
23:14
WOD Fest started today.
23:15
The team competition's in its second day.
23:17
Hopefully people are doing
23:18
well with that and really enjoying it.
23:22
Um,
23:24
But yeah, we're having a great trip.
23:27
Really a great bonding time
23:28
with my daughter.
23:30
Hanging out.
23:31
Singing songs on the road.
23:34
Seeing weird sights.
23:37
The green giant statue was pretty cool.
23:41
It was pretty awesome.
23:44
It was just pouring down
23:45
rain when we got where we're there.
23:46
So we weren't able to get a
23:49
good picture with that.
23:51
So...
23:58
Yeah, Jay Burch, of course, man.
23:59
You guys are like my friends.
24:00
You're my lunch hangout crew.
24:02
I wouldn't want to be anyplace else.
24:08
So, but yeah,
24:10
thought this would be a fun little treat.
24:12
Take you guys to the Corn
24:13
Palace in South Dakota.
24:17
You know,
24:17
yesterday my daughter and I kept
24:18
saying like, we don't,
24:20
you never know when you're
24:21
going to be back in this
24:22
area of the country.
24:22
I don't live near here.
24:23
I've never been up this way.
24:26
So why not stop and see the
24:27
things that we can see on this trip?
24:30
Because we never know when
24:31
we're going to make it back.
24:35
But yeah.
24:37
Got a great comment on the
24:39
show yesterday from Dan
24:41
Church when Ken Walters was
24:43
talking about all the
24:44
cheese shops that he would visit.
24:46
And Dan said that Ken's
24:49
approach to cheese shops is
24:51
constantly varied, high intensity.
24:56
It was really good.
24:58
Dan's a funny guy.
25:00
So yeah, that was really fun.
25:03
Just wanted to bring you
25:04
guys along for the trip.
25:05
Thank you for all the wishes
25:07
on the safe travels.
