The crew goes live after missing a day and recaps WZA, congratulating James Sprague on winning a notably short CrossFit competition and discussing soreness from four squat-heavy events. They talk about performing the Open workout in a competition setting, how team scoring might work, pacing strategies, and tips like using a belt for late thrusters. They share behind-the-scenes stories, including finishing a workout at 10 PM “for the love of the game,” a potential deadlift contingency version of a workout, shout-outs to Ellie’s performance, and meet-and-greet exhaustion, naps, and getting locked out of the GOWOD house. They break down Team GOWOD’s events (a beach run with water entries, a practiced-and-improved overhead squat/snatch event, and a sprint rope/box/dumbbell event), promote a 10K-subscriber Rogue Ohio Bar giveaway, and raise donations to fund an egg-and-flour Open punishment for the loser.00:00 Back Live Recap01:10 Open Workout Vibes02:24 Scoring Team Strategy03:38 Pacing Thruster Tips05:26 Late Night Bonus Stream07:54 Ellie Shoutout Highlights09:34 Meet And Greet Chaos12:09 Barbell Giveaway Push14:20 Bots And Conspiracies17:06 Beach Run Breakdown21:21 Post Run Debrief21:42 Romans 8 28 Breakdown23:04 Truth Talk And Next Event24:22 Egg Punishment Fundraiser26:36 Event Two Practice Chaos31:04 Event Two Game Plan Win33:17 Event Three Sprint Recap35:12 Box Jump Drama Stories38:26 Indy Vs Team Decision39:32 Why I Skipped Indy43:22 Fan Support And Meetups45:18 Wrap Up And Tomorrow Plans

Watching the Open Live at Wodapalooza + Workout Strategy, Predictions & Barbell GiveawayThe crew recaps day one at Wodapalooza, including attending the CrossFit Open live announcement at Waterloo and reacting to the workout’s aggressive time cap, pacing, and how many athletes may not finish. They discuss men vs. women differences (weights, rep speed, bar bounce), debate singles vs. touch-and-go cleans, and break down James’s near-finish and dominant performance in another event featuring rowing, wall balls, and legless rope climbs, plus Ellie’s strong return and Ariel’s quick turnaround from the announcement to winning. They also talk strategy for competing head-to-head, effort management across a weekend, and announce subscriber-based giveaways (Rogue Ohio or Bella bar) and a meet-and-greet/help session for 26.3 at the Rain Stage.00:43 WZA Open Announcement01:54 Workout Pace Breakdown04:01 Cleans Strategy Tips05:24 James Nearly Finishes07:08 Colton Predictions08:40 Florida Weather Chaos09:27 Ellie and James Highlights11:30 Open Advantage Debate13:04 Team Event Five Planning13:53 Can We Beat James15:35 Scoring and Viewing Hype16:55 Subscriber Barbell Giveaway17:41 Wild Sub Goals Debate19:11 Ad Read Break19:24 Jason Reacts To James20:49 Allie Strategy Breakdown21:47 Push Or Save Energy26:11 Jeff Went Too Hard29:23 Leader Jersey Stories32:33 Wrap Up And Meetups

First Official Miami Podcast: Jayson’s Tattoo Reveal, CrossFit Open Week 3 & Wodapalooza ChaosIn their first official Miami podcast, the crew recaps a livestream of Jason getting a new tattoo and encourages viewers to watch the full experience on their channel and comment on Instagram. They discuss finishing week two of the CrossFit Open, the punishments completed so far (including a surprisingly fast track run with a chaotic soccer-field moment), and plans for the final week-three punishment, potentially involving spectators throwing donated eggs and flour. They talk through Wodapalooza logistics, speculate about the Open workout (likely deadlifts, burpees, and possibly double-unders), and debate fairness for athletes doing the live announcement. James shares he feels fit, calm, and excited to compete, while Jason weighs a possible late entry and admits extra motivation to beat James amid online hype.00:00 Miami Podcast Kickoff00:25 Tattoo Livestream Recap01:22 CrossFit Open Punishments02:23 Track Run Chaos04:51 Open Week Three Plan05:38 Coaching And Cash Talk07:42 Open Workout Predictions12:48 Will Jason Compete14:41 James Weekend Mindset15:47 Miami Beach Gauntlet16:43 Open workout strategy17:45 Punishment egging plan19:14 Bulking and bodybuilder talk21:20 Willie endurance transformation25:40 Social media validation debate28:23 Rivalry and WZA mindset33:26 Live weekend schedule34:17 Tattoo reveal finale

Open Week 2 Chaos: Rogue HQ, Muscle-Up Meltdowns, WZA Plans & Jason’s Tattoo PunishmentThe hosts reunite from different locations to recap travel, the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus, and Open Week 2 results, including a close race decided by ring muscle-ups where Dallan posts 6:23, Justin 6:50, and Jason 7:03 after late misses, triggering a punishment tattoo discussion. They debate being on time, unanswered texts, prefer Rich Froning’s lifestyle over Matt Fraser’s results, and share observations about the crowded, sweaty Arnold. At Rogue HQ they tried strongman’s Hercules Hold, discuss building barbells on the Rogue assembly line, and rave about the new air-powered Rhino machine and possible workout uses. They preview Waterpalooza/“WZA” plans, predict possible Open workouts, talk judging and first-time chest-to-bar progress, and commit to going live nightly during the event, including a planned milk mile and possible casino night.00:00 Late Again Banter00:43 Text Backlog Confessions01:51 Old Demo Team Throwback02:38 Feeling Ready To Compete03:13 Frazier Vs Rich Debate04:19 Arnold Weekend Recap06:23 Strongman Booth Challenge08:00 Hotel Room Chaos09:28 Open Scores And Leaderboard12:17 CrossFit Influencer Box16:15 Henna Tattoo Punishment Plans20:20 Wodapalooza Events And Open Predictions25:07 Should The Open Be Five Weeks28:06 Milk Mile Meetup Planning29:41 Beach Plans and Recovery30:22 Arnold Germs and Musty Air31:19 Open Workout Setup and Muscle Up Talk33:35 Rogue Showdown and Times35:28 Strategy Breakdown and Mind Games39:49 Live Play by Play Finish42:32 Thank You DMs and Air Rhino Hype45:09 Air Rhino Features and Training Ideas49:16 Building a Rogue Barbell54:23 Alaska Media and WZA Hype57:55 Casino Night and Going Live01:02:15 Weekly Schedule and Sign Off

Three CrossFit athletes livestream and catch up while James is away at an Adidas preseason athlete testing camp. They share recent run-ins with Heber and Rich Froning during a Salt Lake hunting expo weekend and talk hunting content, including the Seek One Productions channel (Lee Ellis). The conversation shifts into mental resilience and mindset shifts, centered on Jason’s CrossFit Games experience: his emotional low after Running Isabel, the reset he made before the final event, and how warmup misses can disappear once he’s on the competition floor. They discuss mental toughness vs discipline vs maturity, how they process bad training days, and tell stories about quitting or nearly quitting workouts, including sandbag clean standards, ring height issues, and tough interval sessions. They trade favorite memories of each other from competitions like the Games, Mesa, Wodapalooza, and team moments (including an unbroken heavy synchronized wall-ball set), and mention plans to team up in Miami next month. They also announce they’ve started a Bible study and debate Bible translations and reading approaches. Finally, they outline Open-related punishments with a fan poll (milk mile, dance performance, stand-up comedy night, public shame poster in an outfit, singing a song about the winners, a loser outfit for a quarterfinals workout, and waxing—debating Brazilian vs bikini), plus a season-long penalty where the overall loser buys a billboard near the San Jose airport/SAP Center saying they “suck at the Open.” The episode ends with updates on garage upgrades, new equipment plans, and a new “Be a savage” barbell.00:00 Welcome Back (Minus James): Adidas Trip & Preseason Testing01:39 Salt Lake Catch-Up: Heber, Mars, and the Hunting Expo Workout02:27 Forklift Viewer Shoutout + The ‘Avid’ YouTube Debate04:01 Hunting YouTube Rabbit Hole: Seek One / Lee Ellis06:57 CrossFit Mayhem & Quarterfinals Location Talk (Boise?)08:16 Next Month Travel Plans + Pivot to a New Topic09:00 Mental Resilience at the Games: Jason’s Mindset Shift Story12:39 Handling the Spiral: Warmup Nerves, Thrusters, and ‘What Would You Do?’17:06 Training Headspace: Bad Days, Missed Lifts, and Keeping Highs/Lows Small23:59 Quitting Workouts & Coach Conversations: When to Shut It Down29:10 Defining Mental Toughness: Echo Bike Tell-Tales & Discipline vs Grit38:56 Adrenaline, Max Lifts, and a New Definition of Toughness39:50 Winning the Last Event: What Mental Toughness Looks Like at the Games41:12 Defining the Buckets: Toughness vs Discipline vs Awareness41:45 Ranking Each Other (No Poll Allowed): Who Embodies What?42:59 Favorite Memories: Jason’s Games Comeback & Competitor Perspective44:27 dLAN’s Mesa Rally + Waterpalooza Rivalries47:33 The Legendary Sync Wall Balls Story (Team Waterpalooza 2022)53:31 Justin Memories: Mic’d Up, Rogue Run, and the Long Road Back57:04 WFP Decision Talk + Dream Team Plans for Miami59:17 Bible Study & Translation Debate: History Book or Love Letter?01:03:47 Open Punishments Poll: Milk Mile, Standup, Waxing, and the Billboard Finale01:10:24 Training Motivation for the Open + Predicting Week 101:12:09 Garage Gym Upgrades & Signing Off Until Next Week
