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. 00:00 Morning podcast banter 01:01 Food tracking talk 02:14 Jason arrives in France 04:51 Venue and rivals 06:33 Coaches and warmups 10:02 Social media collabs 11:31 Monaco travel plans 13:04 Food abroad and Europe debate 17:52 Home gym and training volume 23:57 Games hype and semis choices 32:09 Wild comments and Q and A 35:21 Making friends discussion 36:28 Best Friends Limits 36:55 How Guys Bond 37:22 Stewarding Your Circle 38:15 Men Talking Deeper 39:04 Groups Counseling Habits 41:06 Competition Changes Friendship 42:59 Games Week Hangouts 43:48 Injury Prone Rumors 44:42 Injuries Reveal Weakness 45:15 Games Hardo Debate 46:57 Too Many Events Talk 48:07 Authentic On Camera 48:53 Streaming Marathon Ideas 50:15 Least Themselves On Camera 52:28 Pre Games Letters 53:46 Dumb Purchases Regrets 56:41 Points Hacks Costco 57:15 Call Of Duty Rivalry 59:30 Fitness Industry Biggest Lie 01:01:29 RPE Pacing Intensity 01:04:14 AI Video Tangent 01:05:14 Boat Monaco Memories 01:07:23 Sleep Carbs Book Club 01:09:44 Final Good Luck Sendoff

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. 00:00 Timezone Chaos Intro 00:50 Training Plans and Daily Schedules 01:48 Australia Track Hunt 02:58 Victorian Semifinal Trail Run 04:55 Regionals Nostalgia and Spot Talk 05:40 Gaming the Qualifying System 06:56 Jason Explains Paris Decision 09:57 WZA and Mayhem Fallout 11:25 French Throwdown Workouts Breakdown 14:23 Sprint Thrusters and Burpees 16:02 Pyramid Chipper Preview 18:12 Front Squat Max and Points Debate 22:49 WFP Deadlift Numbers and Testing 23:58 Final Event Deadlift Lunge Clean 25:40 How Semifinal Spots Get Assigned 27:06 Online Semis Debate 29:00 Travel Plans and Semis Spots 30:00 Hawaii Recap and Stream Drama 31:15 FloElite Collab and Ethics 34:33 Syndicate Plans and Callouts 36:44 New CrossFit CEO Talk 42:12 Programming and Lift Speculation 45:36 Gym PRs and Testing Workouts 50:20 Training Mindset and Motivation 52:43 Signing Off and Prayer Talk

The conversation includes a past DM about coaching, training history and ages, work and school (including physical therapy studies), and Icelandic culture topics like training with BK and eating dried fish.

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.

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 Recap 01:10 Open Workout Vibes 02:24 Scoring Team Strategy 03:38 Pacing Thruster Tips 05:26 Late Night Bonus Stream 07:54 Ellie Shoutout Highlights 09:34 Meet And Greet Chaos 12:09 Barbell Giveaway Push 14:20 Bots And Conspiracies 17:06 Beach Run Breakdown 21:21 Post Run Debrief 21:42 Romans 8 28 Breakdown 23:04 Truth Talk And Next Event 24:22 Egg Punishment Fundraiser 26:36 Event Two Practice Chaos 31:04 Event Two Game Plan Win 33:17 Event Three Sprint Recap 35:12 Box Jump Drama Stories 38:26 Indy Vs Team Decision 39:32 Why I Skipped Indy 43:22 Fan Support And Meetups 45:18 Wrap Up And Tomorrow Plans

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 Testing 01:39 Salt Lake Catch-Up: Heber, Mars, and the Hunting Expo Workout 02:27 Forklift Viewer Shoutout + The ‘Avid’ YouTube Debate 04:01 Hunting YouTube Rabbit Hole: Seek One / Lee Ellis 06:57 CrossFit Mayhem & Quarterfinals Location Talk (Boise?) 08:16 Next Month Travel Plans + Pivot to a New Topic 09:00 Mental Resilience at the Games: Jason’s Mindset Shift Story 12:39 Handling the Spiral: Warmup Nerves, Thrusters, and ‘What Would You Do?’ 17:06 Training Headspace: Bad Days, Missed Lifts, and Keeping Highs/Lows Small 23:59 Quitting Workouts & Coach Conversations: When to Shut It Down 29:10 Defining Mental Toughness: Echo Bike Tell-Tales & Discipline vs Grit 38:56 Adrenaline, Max Lifts, and a New Definition of Toughness 39:50 Winning the Last Event: What Mental Toughness Looks Like at the Games 41:12 Defining the Buckets: Toughness vs Discipline vs Awareness 41:45 Ranking Each Other (No Poll Allowed): Who Embodies What? 42:59 Favorite Memories: Jason’s Games Comeback & Competitor Perspective 44:27 dLAN’s Mesa Rally + Waterpalooza Rivalries 47:33 The Legendary Sync Wall Balls Story (Team Waterpalooza 2022) 53:31 Justin Memories: Mic’d Up, Rogue Run, and the Long Road Back 57:04 WFP Decision Talk + Dream Team Plans for Miami 59:17 Bible Study & Translation Debate: History Book or Love Letter? 01:03:47 Open Punishments Poll: Milk Mile, Standup, Waxing, and the Billboard Finale 01:10:24 Training Motivation for the Open + Predicting Week 1 01:12:09 Garage Gym Upgrades & Signing Off Until Next Week
