ATHX Recap, Community-Programmed Workouts, and PB Fit Games Events + Planning a Head-to-Head Challenge
The hosts adjust their podcast layout, note James is out for personal reasons, and recap attending ATHX where Ellie and James won and Danica placed well; they outline the event format (strength tests, endurance run/row AMRAP, and a metcon) and discuss organization and warm-up limitations. Justin shares his first real meal post-injury, ongoing jaw issues, weight loss, and plans to benchmark lifts plus the 2019 “First Cut,” then retest before the Open. Jayson describes letting his community program daily workouts, the group sets movement parameters (burpee box jump overs, feed sack squats, handstand walk), and they pick an interval workout submitted by Matthew Warren. They debate training vs competition intensity, discuss podcasts and Rolex/manifesting, preview PB Fit Games workouts and streaming plans, and plan a “Can You Beat Me If” challenge when they reunite in Salt Lake.

Tudor’s Live Speed Dating Show (Blindfolded) | Boys Interrupted
The Boys Interrupted hosts run a live, blindfolded speed-dating episode to help their friend Tudor find a potential relationship, pitching a possible podcast rebrand into matchmaking and outlining a fast format of about one minute per caller. Tudor shares what he looks for in a woman (attractive, big eyes, darker hair, health-minded, country/city balance) while the hosts cycle through contestants from various locations and backgrounds, including CrossFit/Hyrox athletes, engineers, a ranch worker, a firefighter paramedic, a New Zealand builder, and others, asking about passions, red flags, and compatibility. Tudor reacts most strongly to a few contestants, removes the blindfold at times, and names favorites. Viewers donate money to help fund a future in-person date, and the hosts encourage contestants to DM Tutor after the show.

Rogue Recap: Dallin Pepper’s First Major Win, Duels Drama & Wild Hotel Stories | Boys Interrupted
The Boys Interrupted crew recaps the Rogue Invitational, joking about “giving flowers” and debating who holds the yearly “throne,” while Justin shares how tough it was to miss Rogue after it felt taken away and describes his jaw recovery and brushing his teeth while wired shut. They break down the men’s and women’s leaderboards, including Ricky and Laura’s comeback, discuss Dallin Pepper’s first major win built on extreme consistency without an event win, and detail key moments like the duel format, buzzer strategy, and event-specific tactics (log press, axle deadlifts, throws, handstand walk). They share hotel mishaps, a late-night fire alarm, casino losses, and talk about coaching dynamics with Adam working with Tudor Magda, future podcast guests, a live show at PB Fit Games, and thoughts on WFP structure and “Fittest on Earth” legitimacy.

Matt Fraser “Back in 2027”? Crash Recap, Rogue Plans, Movie Drafts, and Noah’s Ark Talk | Boys Interrupted
The boys react to Matt Fraser saying he plans to compete in 2027 and debate where he’d place if he returned, then discuss Athx/Znom-style events and James signing up for Athx in November (with strength goals and Adidas obligations). They cover Andrew Hiller’s YouTube removal and how hard it is to rebuild, briefly break down the Jesse James West fitness challenge with Mitch Hooper, and talk about Crash, including scoring changes, Noah’s win, and the bar muscle-up safety issue. Justin shares recovery frustrations after getting hit by a car and mentions insurance and an injury attorney, while they speculate the CrossFit Games could move to Europe (possibly France). The episode also includes sponsor wish lists, golf and birthday talk, movie favorites, horror movies, and a discussion of claims about Noah’s Ark, plus Rogue travel plans and a 15,000-subscriber Garmin giveaway reminder.

Caity explains Rogue’s commitment to fairness with no workout leaks, discusses books, her injury-filled college career, discovering CrossFit and meeting Bill Henniger, and how Rogue grew from packing boxes to 750 employees with a 300,000 sq ft expansion.

The group recaps the SoCal team competition, joking about “breaking even,” travel perks, and post-event soreness, then breaks down key moments including strict deficit handstand push-ups on soft mats, no-reps, missed complexes, and tough chipper fatigue. They praise the Brute girls’ effort and highlight standout events like the box jump workout, Aftershock teamwork, and fast burpee transitions, while noting execution issues on the complex-to-worm workout and discussing potential future penalties for quitting workouts. Guest Jack Farla joins to talk about Outcast’s underdog win, being sick, judging, and training in Utah, followed by Justin joining to give an update on his jaw surgery, concussion symptoms, liquid diet, recovery plans, and reading.

Justin Returns After Motorcycle Accident: Wired Jaw, Liquid Diet, and Road to Recovery
The episode starts with audio issues before the hosts catch up with Justin, who explains the hardest part of recovery after his motorcycle accident: being on a six-week liquid diet and trying not to lose too much weight while eating blended meals prepared by Ellie using recipes from his nutritionist Trevor. Justin describes the risk of choking if he vomits due to jaw wiring, the need for wire cutters, and ongoing pain, headaches, concussion symptoms, and hearing loss from an ear hematoma, while noting no major structural injuries beyond his jaw and facial fractures. He recounts the crash near his home involving an 18-year-old who made an illegal U-turn, his brief loss of consciousness, hospital confusion, and Ellie learning his location was the hospital. The group discusses insurance, Justin’s hopes to still contribute and possibly compete, and they wrap by previewing the team’s upcoming events and wishing him a speedy recovery.

They preview an upcoming episode with HYROX and XENOM, discuss XENOM’s fixed event format and scalability, and dive into SoCal Showdown team logistics, workouts, strategy, and captain duties, including teammate changes and strengths. They touch on coaching, programming, mobility routines, and weaknesses like the sideways pegboard.

Episode 87: Restaurant Horror Stories, Pat Vellner’s Achilles Surgery & Wild Heart Rate Data
In episode 87, the hosts joke about the restaurant term “86/87,” swap stories about working in restaurants and food hygiene, debate when to send food back (especially for a single hair), and one host admits calling in sick to run a profitable golf-tournament snack stand. Pat Vellner joins fresh out of Achilles surgery, describing being awake with a nerve block, what the tear felt like, post-op pain, and recovery timelines including non-surgical options. He also explains unusual CrossFit Games Work band heart-rate spikes that may reflect ongoing AFib despite a February ablation, supported by Holter data showing lows around 28 bpm and highs up to 270, with follow-up planned. The conversation closes with content-creation habits, reprogramming a snatch/toes-to-bar hopper, Rogue challenge talk, and a plan to attempt a backyard ultra—possibly in a salt mine.

James Recaps WFP Indiana, Rogue Prep, and Pat’s Injury | Boys Interrupted Ep. 86
In Episode 86 of Boys Interrupted, the guys congratulate James on a strong, restful month and recap his weekend at the WFP event in Indiana, where he competed while feeling sick and managing stomach issues, emphasizing that you don’t have to feel 100% to win. They talk about balancing competition with life outside the gym (golfing, a high school football game), debate how many competitions are sustainable in a season, and discuss misaligned schedules across WFP, Rogue, Wodapalooza, and the Games, plus rising WFP prize money and possible format changes next year. They break down standout performances and injuries (including Pat’s torn Achilles and Roman’s issues), touch on combine-style events like the 40-yard dash and broad jump, look ahead to Rogue in Scotland, and share training updates, including building a sideways pegboard and playing a long “skill pig” gym game.

NYC Travel Sketchiness, Cabin Gym Setup & WFP + Wodapalooza Programming Talk (ft. JR/James Howell)
The hosts congratulate listener Mark Colon Endurance on having a baby, recap a cabin trip where they brought a trailer of gym equipment, and share travel stories including a sketchy late-night New York taxi encounter and an odd Uber detour. They discuss essentials for building a portable garage gym, estimate the cost of the setup, and joke about losing phones, Instagram collabs, and playing Jeopardy! and Call of Duty. James outlines the upcoming World Fitness Project events and tests, including combine-style drills, a 10K, bench press max, and a swim-bike-rowing-snatch finale, plus their Hyrox plans. Guest JR (James Howell of Crash) joins to discuss programming Battle of the Camps at SoCal/Wodapalooza, avoiding conflicts of interest, studying past competitions, and balancing fairness, logistics, and spectator-friendly team formats, including keeping staple “grunt work” elements.

Bro Time Before the Wedding: Training Comebacks, Air Quality, and CrossFit Games Talk
The guys catch up while Justin is traveling, tease a hide-and-seek start, and plan to reunite for a friends’ wedding weekend with workouts, river time, and training together. They talk about who was late, getting back into training after competition, double sessions, track intervals, running in wildfire smoke, and bringing equipment versus dropping into a local gym. Conversation shifts to CrossFit Games-related topics including prize money calculations tied to Open registrations and discounts, follower growth after winning/placing, and “would you rather” scenarios about winning, popularity, and careers. They also discuss the Lazar workout’s origin and difficulty, keeping leader jerseys, possible future Games locations (Boise, Salt Lake, Europe), offseason changes like more consistency and strength focus, and potential HYROX plans before SoCal.

Four of the Top 6 at the CrossFit Games Recap: Scoring Debates, Judging Drama, and What 2026 Taught Us
Four top-six CrossFit Games finishers recap the weekend on the Boys Interrupted podcast, discussing travel home to wildfire smoke, Ellie’s Games qualification and best finish, and debates about event scoring and 50-point events, including a claim that different point values could have changed the winner. They break down judging and appeals controversies (snatch ladder no-rep, pull-up standards, buzzer requirement), close finishes, and standout moments like the bike pack dynamics, headwind, near-crashes, and widespread cramping during the bike-to-pool event. They reflect on the Games feeling like a true “Games Games,” the difficulty of 20 events with tight turnarounds, fueling strategies, and lessons from the season about gratitude, starting, and relying on support teams. They share anecdotes about leader jersey mix-ups, rivalry moments, injuries, post-Games celebrations, notable stats, future competitions, and wrap with a GOWOD membership giveaway prompt.

CrossFit Games Week Chat: Skills Stress, Bike Event Takes, and Pre-Weekend Blessings
A group of CrossFit Games athletes talk the day before competition about finalized adaptations, lingering stress around key skills like strict press, triple-unders, and backward rolls, and the hectic training vibe with other athletes. They discuss betting as motivation, Roman’s comment about winning for money, and the new Road to the Games featuring them. Conversation shifts to check-in details (gear colors, bike fitting issues, swim uncertainty, equipment like squat racks and Tier swim gear), predictions for skill medleys, a possible 40-minute workout, running-heavy programming, and how heats and seeding might affect events like the 500m and the bike. They react to livestream donations, joke about flags, shoes, and sponsors, and end with a round of heartfelt “blessings” and encouragement for each other heading into the 20-event weekend.

CrossFit Games Intel w/ Dave: Totals Predictions, Event Leaks, Rolls on Rings & Safety Calls
The hosts joke about a brief “Graceann” cameo and Jason’s mood from the previous episode before Jason shares he sought counseling and is in a better place. They debate competitiveness, taper week, and predict CrossFit Games event wins and totals numbers, then bring on Dave to discuss what top-five lifts might look like (including comparisons to last year), recovery between events, and why certain skills like forward/back rolls on rings were announced early. Dave confirms no heavy DT, says pig and snail are on separate days, answers questions about event announcements and how many events will be unknown at the start, confirms swimming and biking are on the same day, explains pool safety decisions (no diving/flip turns), and discusses how early poor placings can affect overall standings. The episode ends with Games travel plans, upcoming podcast schedule, and thanks for a major donation.

CrossFit Games Prep: 20 Events, The Hopper Times, Pig Flips, and Quinn’s Rookie Outlook (Boys Interrupted Ep. 79)
In Episode 79 of Boys Interrupted, the guys recap a heavy training weekend, discuss doing 18 events as a Games simulation, and break down specific pieces including a swim-dominant workout, a brutal 35-minute EMOM, hill running intervals, and testing The Hopper (with times around the sub-8 range and debate about possible sub-7:30). They talk about the “pig” implement, why it feels harder on certain turf, and how repeated flips change the workout under fatigue. The crew debates Dave Castro’s push to program 20 events, speculates on potential repeats and classic tests, and discusses Games logistics like venues, a hilly 4+ mile trail run, and whether athletes must jump feet-first into the pool. They also touch on mindset, sleep, Fourth of July plans, and Quinn Robinson’s potential top-10 rookie finish.

The hosts bounce through updates on Xenom, praising Jack Farlow’s win and debating getting him back on the pod, while one records from a newly purchased, fully equipped 4WD van on a trip to a sister’s wedding in Tahoe. They discuss Dave Castro’s Week in Review, Games programming on the fly, the brutal ranch run, Garmin hill scores, and whether bench press or back rolls could appear at the CrossFit Games, including comparisons to ring handstand pushups and flip turns in swimming. The conversation shifts to Nashville training, including a tough flip-sled and dumbbell bench workout. Guest Riley Martin joins from a bar, talks Xenom event density, the Air Rhino technique, his U.S. travel plans, possible demo team involvement, and his gambling Instagram account and big wins.

With the CrossFit Games one month away, the crew jokes about haircuts, countdown posts, and travel while recapping Nashville training camp sessions, including a descending-rep GHD/burpee/dumbbell snatch/ring muscle-up workout and run interval options. They debate why descending schemes drive intensity, compare pacing, and talk humidity, recovery, and upcoming Games programming such as the swim, rest days, and possible gymnastics skills like ring back rolls or front-roll complexes. The conversation shifts to no-rep and DQ stories from Hyrox and past competitions, ticket logistics, and training camp purpose. Guest Quinn joins to discuss moving back to Nashville, starting coaching with Lockard/Mayhem, weaknesses, team-to-individual transition, recovery improvements via more sleep and carbs, competition highlights, work in healthcare sales, sponsors/shoes, sports background, excitement for 20 events and the hopper workout, and his goals of top 10 and a WFP pro card.

The group celebrates Justin qualifying for the CrossFit Games through online semifinals and recaps his weekend, including workout order, a rope-climb retest after seeing Jacob Heppner’s pace, an event win on the wall-ball workout, and a power snatch weakness despite successfully powering all 15 reps at 225. They discuss stress around leaderboard swings from strict video review, judging requirements, harsh penalties for missed reps, and how many videos may need review, with concerns about standards on wall balls, thrusters, muscle-ups, and hang cleans. They note CrossFit Vancouver’s team moving from sixth to second after validations, highlight surprises like Gui winning and Alexis Raptis leading the women, and talk about bubble athletes training while waiting for finalization. The conversation shifts to expectations for a 20-event Games, possible “roots” events, rest-day strategy, prize money, and lighter banter about haircuts, jerseys, and other topics.

The group jokes about someone making the “last chance qualifier,” clarifying it’s essentially online semifinals, then discusses training mindset, deloading, recovery, reading, and reducing screen time using tools like a physical “brick” card and a habit-tracking app. They share routines such as no-social-media Sundays, bedtime targets, supplements, mobility, and using an Eight Sleep bed for waking up. After the online semifinals workouts are released, they break down each event (hang power cleans with rope climbs; burpee box jump overs, rowing, and 315 deadlifts; wall balls with 10-foot targets plus handstand walks and double unders; 225 snatches with shuttle runs; 185 thrusters and muscle-ups), debate pacing, standards, and winning times, talk prize implications, and make rough predictions about likely qualifiers and bubble athletes before wrapping up with travel and training plans.

They cover “Spain Gate” timing/leaderboard controversy where Jonah missed qualifying by two points after a late appeal introduced a fractional-second time, and recap Del Mar/Legends Championship crossover with Games qualifiers. They highlight Dylan Hamming’s rise, Lydia’s dominant win, and Syndicate heartbreak moments including Nate’s handstand-walk penalty and tight leaderboard implications. Tudor Magda joins after NorCal, describes the most painful workout (ring muscle-ups and high-volume thrusters), strategy insights from workout testing, NorCal’s improvements from last year, and receiving prize checks on the podium. The episode ends with talk of online semis, team workouts, branding/social media jokes, and a quick percentage game.

Episode 74 of Boys Interrupted features Dallin, James, Jayson, and a new host recapping the Torian Pro semifinal spectacle and the intense final, including crowd energy and execution under tight standards. Justin details why he missed qualification, discussing a sled-pull blowup due to rope length and pacing, a kettlebell snatch judging issue that led to an appeal and time/placing adjustment, and his plan to pursue the Last Chance Qualifier while resetting with zone-two work. Bailey reflects on qualifying and explains last year’s Torian withdrawal stemming from a heart issue, the recovery period, and the mental process of returning to push hard again, then shares his goal of reaching the Games’ top 10 and last heat. The group also discusses Games programming hints, required physicals, online competition stress, travel, and highlights Ellie’s strong comeback performance.

The hosts joke about the podcast feeling dysfunctional with Justin absent and everyone spread across major time zones, while Jason shares updates after competing in France and traveling to Nice/Monaco, including rainy conditions, event highlights, and choosing a safe clean. They discuss boat ownership, swimming for Games prep, and debate semifinal difficulty, then address Harry withdrawing because things weren’t clicking despite feeling fine and seeking answers. Conversation shifts to LCQ misery, training plans and potential Games camps, plus content fatigue and a video discussion about HGH detectability and risks. Justin calls in from CrossFit Torrance ahead of his semifinal weekend, chats about workouts and travel plans with Bailey, and the group closes with more friendly banter and Jason heading to sleep.

Morning Pod in France: French Throwdown Prep, Training Volume, Injuries & Games Talk
In a morning podcast, the hosts joke about training schedules, food tracking, and learning French as Jason arrives in France to compete at the French Throwdown and hopes to see Harry Lightfoot. They discuss travel fatigue, the venue, competitors on the roster, and the value of having a coach for training versus competition warmups. Conversation shifts to post-semis travel plans (including Monaco), pre-competition food, and confusion over Europe vs the European Union. They answer questions about choosing which semifinal to attend (prize purse vs timing and fallback options), social media engagement, friendship dynamics approaching the CrossFit Games, injury visibility among Brute athletes, training volume and intensity pacing, and finish with gear, reading, and well-wishes for Jason’s weekend.

Show notes
The boys banter about being spread across time zones (Hawaii, Eastern, London, Australia) and discuss training schedules, including Justin’s experience in Australia with limited public tracks and a painted grass track, plus a two-mile ruck trail run announced for the Torian Pro. Jayson addresses criticism about “taking advantage of the system” by traveling, explaining he wants multiple in-person qualification chances and to avoid the online semifinals; after missing Mayhem due to a groin issue, he decides to compete at the French Throwdown in Paris as insurance before Syndicate. They pull up and react to several French Throwdown workouts (run/row, Echo bike snatches and bar muscle-ups, dumbbell thrusters and burpees, a toes-to-bar/bench/box jump/rope climb chipper, a 6RM front squat plus handstand walk, and a deadlift/lunge/clean/shoulder-to-overhead workout), touch on WFP deadlift numbers and testing talk, mention CrossFit’s new CEO Bruce Edwards, and briefly discuss live-streaming issues and a potential Flow Elite partnership.

CrossFit Games Tickets Punched, Programming Debates & Syndicate Preview | Boys Interrupted
The hosts recap a weekend competition where James and Dallin, both CrossFit Games qualifiers, battled closely and celebrated with a group house stay while watching streams, including a chaotic women’s race decided in the last event. They discuss event changes and equipment issues, including a last-minute run being removed, unusually heavy bike/ski machines with standardized damper settings, and a dumbbell weight change due to not having enough equipment. They break down key workouts like the final event and a DT-style test, note how the heavy skier affected pulling fatigue, and highlight Dylan Hamming’s strong performance and potential to qualify. Jayson shares nerves about upcoming semifinals, talks Syndicate roster strength, and debates whether the weekend was a well-rounded test, while the group teases each other about support, stress, and future events like WFP.
