Live Quarterfinals in Boise: Workout Order, Wild Strategies & Josh Bridges CommentaryThe crew goes live from Boise to preview their CrossFit Quarterfinals weekend, joking about “the boys” strategy takes, travel meetups, and everyone battling varying levels of sickness. They announce they’ll compete at CrossFit Canvas Friday and Saturday (and may visit CrossFit North Side Sunday), stream workouts starting Friday at 1:30pm Mountain/3:30pm Eastern with different guest commentators for each workout, and collaborate with the CrossFit Games to stream on their networks, with Josh Bridges set to commentate the first live workout. They outline a reverse workout order (row/clean & jerk/handstand push-ups first, then deadlift/double-unders, then bar muscle-ups with hang squat cleans, finishing with a shuttle run/overhead squat/burpee workout), debate pacing and clean & jerk approaches, and plan to draw four different strategies from a hat for the muscle-up/clean workout. They react to donations, tease a comedy-show punishment tied to hitting 10K subscribers and a barbell giveaway, and close with weekend timing updates.00:00 Boys Breakdown Intro00:39 Boise Meetup Plans01:34 Livestream Schedule Guests02:46 Josh Bridges Hype03:26 Quarterfinals Vibe Goals04:00 Sick Week Banter04:44 Basketball Trash Talk06:58 Strategy Hat Idea07:46 Big Donation Moment13:32 Workout Four Gameplan21:03 Workout Order Deadlift23:13 Jump Rope Testing Talk25:23 Dallas Donation Game28:50 Next Workout Tease30:10 Workout Order Debate31:21 Donation Shoutouts32:03 Strategy Ideas Chaos34:28 Grip Fatigue Breakdown36:00 Chat Tangents Shirts42:18 Intensity Coaching Talk43:54 Nasal Breathing Zones48:38 Weekend Plans Banter53:48 Sprint Workout Pacing57:03 Colton Never Lays Down01:00:01 Bible Study Updates01:00:40 Live Schedule Wrap Up

Boys Interrupted: Travel Chaos, Meet & Greet Stories, and CrossFit Quarterfinals Workout BreakdownThe hosts kick off Boys Interrupted by joking about recording separately, then recap a hectic stretch of travel, getting sick after Miami, and major flight cancellations that left them stranded and driving long hours, including reroutes through Atlanta and a night in Boise. They discuss airport frustrations, how they pack competition vests, memorable vests from past events, and odd meet-and-greet experiences, including inappropriate fan behavior. The conversation shifts to a conspiracy-theory PowerPoint night, then to CrossFit Quarterfinals: they explain that workouts were released before the official window, outline strategies for all four workouts (including the choose-your-own-rep-scheme workout), and share plans to livestream their attempts with guests. The episode ends with an argument over an Open punishment tiebreak and a push to hit 10,000 subscribers.00:00 Boys Interrupted Kickoff00:34 Nonstop Travel Life02:28 Sick After Training04:34 Miami Flight Chaos12:38 Vests And Comp Souvenirs15:52 Meet And Greet Madness20:48 Conspiracy Night Stories25:07 Quarterfinals Plan And Workout 133:40 Games Podium Odds And Payout Debate39:26 Workout Two Breakdown43:35 Tiebreak And Strategy45:06 Chaos Rep Counting47:36 Reality TV Tangent48:50 Workout Three Deadlift Dubs52:30 Breakup Sets Lessons54:48 Workout Four Row CJ HSPU01:00:20 Weekend Gameplan Recovery01:06:55 Open Punishment Debate01:19:06 Final Decision Signoff

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

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!
