Listining to local radio in Kansas City today, and they were discussing a cut of beef I am not familar with. I believe it's "claude" or someting close. I understand it's very popular in TX. Can anyone elaborate on this?

Smoked Claude would probably be great if you could catch him but he runs like a rabbit. 
Here's the butcher's take on a clod:
The #114 Shoulder Clod weighs 13 to 21 pounds and contains two major muscle groups.
The #114E Should Clod, Arm Roast consists of the large muscle system of the thick end of the clod including the Triceps Brachii muscles. This cut weighs from 8 to 12 pounds.
The #114E can be menued as pot roast or a mock brisket and is often referred to as the Short Clod or Clod Heart.
I'm sure if you search "clod" you'll find some ways to smoke it.

The guy on the radio says it smokes better than a "pulled pork butt and tastes better." Any truth to this?
Well now,it depends on your taste.
My bride likes fresh strawberries,and I like fresh steamed shrimp.
I can fix either well.
My father-in -law loves a well done fried pork chop,and my father loves a rare grilled steak.
I can fix either well prepared.
This guy is trying to explain a chuck roast,and why he thinks "somebody" is able to cook it better than "they" can cook a "pork shoulder".
He probably has some merit?
Which one do you think we should serve?

Well now,see we have an opinion,as to what our taste is for that weekend. 
I was at the wholesale club earlier today. What to buy?, what to buy? Chuck roll or butts? Took me awhile, but I'm having pork Saturdy. Then next week I'll cook the chuck roll I bought too. I was never good at choices.
