Van Life, Xenom Recap & Riley Martin Joins Boys Interrupted (Gambling, Demo Team, Back Rolls)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.00:00 Cold Open Chaos00:24 Xenom Recap And Jack Talk01:23 Buying The Adventure Van02:43 Rogue Budget And Spending Mindset04:37 Tahoe Wedding Road Trip05:56 Games Leaderboard And Dave Talk08:27 Ranch Run Pain And Hill Score13:09 Back Roll Debate And Skills15:53 Enduro Challenge And Sponsor Bits18:50 Nashville Workout Stories21:08 Bench Press And Games Programming25:43 Flip Turns And Swimming Rules27:16 Riley Martin Joins The Pod29:18 Casino Budget Talk29:41 Big Wins And Losses30:27 Like That Slaps Origin31:42 Red Or Black Gamble33:26 Vegas And Demo Team36:32 Air Rhino Technique39:51 Coaching And Programming40:50 Guns And New Zealand43:15 Teen Division Stories46:49 Demo Team Secrets58:27 Wrapping Up Goodbye

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.00:00 Games Countdown Banter01:05 Hair Dye and Guest Tease01:58 Training Camp Workout Breakdown04:46 Run Intervals and Nashville Heat08:25 Camp Purpose and Coach Eyes09:47 Instagram Countdown Stories11:09 Games Programming Speculation16:40 Back Rolls and Ring Skills22:23 Gymnastics vs Weightlifting Debate24:11 Tickets Points and Home Crowd31:00 Wildfire Detour and Back On Track32:30 Guest Quinn Joins In35:38 Quinn Coaching and Weaknesses36:43 Strict Handstand Roast37:05 No Rep Thank You Story38:46 Quinn Legacy Talk38:59 Team To Individual Leap41:12 Recovery Carbs Sleep43:09 Crash Confidence Wins45:06 Games Nerves And 20 Events47:01 Hopper Workout Speculation48:26 Dent Airbnb Login Story50:09 Podcast Bet And Donations53:12 Work Job And Training Schedule55:13 Shoe Talk Rad Vs Nobull58:11 Sports Background Concussions01:02:42 CrossFit Fandom And Mindset01:05:21 More Comps And Prize Money01:07:51 Goals Top 10 Pro Card01:10:07 Wrap Up Gamer Banter

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.00:00 Boat Banter Kickoff00:39 Justin Recaps Semis01:52 Retests And Snatch Fix03:44 Pat Stress Texts06:49 Wall Ball Event Win10:26 Judging And Standards12:52 Buzz Cut Side Quest15:57 Games Predictions 20 Events21:16 Leaderboard Breakdown25:57 Video Review Chaos34:10 Women Leaderboard Talk36:42 Finalization Timeline37:38 Bubble Training Debate38:13 Why Games Training Rocks38:49 Mindset on the Bubble40:27 Event Win Payout Talk41:16 Velites Kit Sizing Stories42:14 Medical Exam Deadline Drama42:56 Women Leaderboard Shoutout43:49 Games Simulation and Rookie Burnout46:33 Money Morals and Motivation48:56 Day One Placements Breakdown54:14 Rest Day and Leaders Jersey54:16 Who Wins This Year01:00:54 Friendly Rivalry Mindset01:07:14 Sports and Concert Tangents01:13:00 Wrap Up and Next Guests

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.00:00 LCQ Banter Begins01:31 Training Mindset Reset02:35 Screen Time Detox Talk04:41 Habit Tracking and Bedtime09:29 Eight Sleep Wake Hacks11:40 Workouts Drop Reactions11:53 Workout One Breakdown16:47 Workout Two Debate22:35 Workout Three Preview27:44 Women Standards Discussion29:18 Wall Ball Height Bet35:02 Workout Four Running Isabelle36:21 Snatch Run Strategy37:27 Power Snatch Banter39:25 Injury Check In39:50 Workout Five Breakdown41:56 Fraser Stats Debate44:13 Rogue Pig Stories47:24 Ranch Advantage Talk49:46 Fan Moments Recap51:24 Predictions And Bubble53:49 Taylor Workout Story57:03 Leaderboard Math Talk01:05:57 Travel Plans And Rituals01:07:35 Signing Off Next Week

The hosts catch up from home, discussing James’ move and building a garage gym, then share recovery and massage stories before reacting to a hectic semifinals weekend. 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.00:00 Remote Catch Up00:27 Garage Gym Setup01:50 Massage Talk04:46 Hot Stone Horror05:55 Semis Weekend Recap06:13 Spain Leaderboard Drama08:50 Legends And NorCal Standouts13:02 Syndicate Heartbreaks14:58 Haley Joins Brute17:43 Tudor Joins The Pod19:55 NorCalSU Thruster Pain23:55 Prize Money And Old Comp Stories26:43 Atlanta Hero WOD Memories29:56 Games Intake And Singlets31:06 Rage Bait Predictions Post32:34 Instagram Brand Pillars35:01 Testing NorCal Workouts38:21 Weird Training Methods39:56 Online Semis Wall Ball Talk46:45 Games Single Under Meltdown53:39 Mindset And Big Lifts57:27 Dating Bits And Team Workouts59:28 Weekend Headliners Tease01:00:04 Colton at Syndicate01:00:43 No Reps and Falls01:02:41 Elite Pace Reality Check01:03:16 Paige Bet and Babysitting01:04:35 Utahoe Joke Break01:05:49 Team Semis Workouts01:07:41 Training Partner Drama01:10:16 Wedding Party Chaos01:12:55 Romania Percentage Game01:20:14 Dating Picks and Wrap Up

Boys Interrupted Ep. 74: Torian Pro Recap, Justin’s LCQ Plan, Bailey’s Comeback & Games GoalsEpisode 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.00:00 New Host Intro00:48 Watching Torian Pro01:35 Final Workout Nerves02:18 Crowd Energy Shift02:48 Torian Spectacle Talk03:32 Dave Castro Intel05:29 Justin Returns Bit05:46 Bailey Wins and Moving07:24 Online Semis Jokes08:39 Justin Event Three Blowup12:11 No Reps and Appeal19:35 Weight and Body Fat Banter23:27 Ellie’s Big Weekend26:04 Bailey Heart Scare Story32:44 Mindset Shift and LCQ Plan37:08 Riley Madden Trajectory39:30 Dream Games Event39:59 Giant Strap Talk40:27 Rustin Signs Off41:40 LCQ War Stories43:13 Torian Podium Banter44:48 Moving And Home Gym Plans46:16 Trophy Ideas And Echo Bike48:39 Qualifying Season Chatter49:32 Semifinal Nate Breakdown52:43 Letter Bet And Love Language54:49 Newspaper Vs AI Debate58:18 Motocross And Percentage Game01:05:21 Games Goals And Farewell

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.00:00 Pod Chaos Check In01:13 Guest Pod Flex01:59 Jayson In France03:30 French Throwdown Breakdown05:55 Boat Talk And Swim Prep07:39 Harry Withdraws Explained10:04 LCQ Misery Stories13:48 2014 Games Nostalgia15:30 Fatigue And Demo Team18:02 Travel Planning And Ticket Fines20:46 Hiller Fatigue Talk21:03 HGH Detection Debate23:29 Most Improved Memories24:30 Spirit Of The Games25:22 Planning Games Camp26:43 Heat Training War Stories27:20 Justin Joins From Australia 30:57 Semifinal Workouts Breakdown32:07 Gym Tour And Semifinal Banter35:17 Monaco Plans And Gambling36:24 Signing Off And Teasers

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.00:00 Morning podcast banter01:01 Food tracking talk02:14 Jason arrives in France04:51 Venue and rivals06:33 Coaches and warmups10:02 Social media collabs11:31 Monaco travel plans13:04 Food abroad and Europe debate17:52 Home gym and training volume23:57 Games hype and semis choices32:09 Wild comments and Q and A35:21 Making friends discussion36:28 Best Friends Limits36:55 How Guys Bond37:22 Stewarding Your Circle38:15 Men Talking Deeper39:04 Groups Counseling Habits41:06 Competition Changes Friendship42:59 Games Week Hangouts43:48 Injury Prone Rumors44:42 Injuries Reveal Weakness45:15 Games Hardo Debate46:57 Too Many Events Talk48:07 Authentic On Camera48:53 Streaming Marathon Ideas50:15 Least Themselves On Camera52:28 Pre Games Letters53:46 Dumb Purchases Regrets56:41 Points Hacks Costco57:15 Call Of Duty Rivalry59:30 Fitness Industry Biggest Lie01:01:29 RPE Pacing Intensity01:04:14 AI Video Tangent01:05:14 Boat Monaco Memories01:07:23 Sleep Carbs Book Club01:09:44 Final Good Luck Sendoff

JUSTIN MEDEIROS PODCAST
In between training, my friends and I always get into some wild conversations. So we thought, why not share these conversations with the world. We talk a lot about CrossFit but we'll also talk about very random things. Thanks for listening!
