Pat Vellner’s Achilles Surgery & Wild Heart Rate Data | Boys interrupted Bak Yard Ultra | Ep. 87

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. 00:00 Why Episode 87 00:33 Restaurant Jobs Talk 01:28 Gross Food Confessions 03:02 Hair in Food Debate 04:04 Lemonade Stand Hustle 06:42 Pat Joins Post Surgery 08:50 Wall Ball Height Argument 12:43 Heart Rate Data Shock 14:17 AFib Explained Simply 22:35 Achilles Surgery Options 25:35 Bulletproof Achilles Talk 26:13 What the Tear Felt Like 27:57 Pain Shock and Denial 30:45 Weird Loss of Function 31:42 Diagnosis by FaceTime 33:12 Recovery Timeline Plans 34:15 Back to Chiropractic Work 36:06 Money Retirement and Next Hobby 38:25 Pat DM Reel Aftermath 40:20 Unasked Questions and Mindset 41:25 LSU Game and Missed Kick 47:31 Theo Von Selfie Story 50:50 Reprogramming 26 Hopper 52:26 Reprogramming Snatch TTB 54:30 Jason Hopper Surprise 55:14 Rogue Deadlift Run Challenge 57:27 Rogue Challenges Strategy 01:00:08 Compete Once Or Ten 01:02:02 Content Creation Ratings 01:04:51 Backyard Ultra Idea 01:11:07 Salt Mine Ultra Plans 01:15:29 Wrap Up And Teasers

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 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.

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.

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 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 Begins 01:31 Training Mindset Reset 02:35 Screen Time Detox Talk 04:41 Habit Tracking and Bedtime 09:29 Eight Sleep Wake Hacks 11:40 Workouts Drop Reactions 11:53 Workout One Breakdown 16:47 Workout Two Debate 22:35 Workout Three Preview 27:44 Women Standards Discussion 29:18 Wall Ball Height Bet 35:02 Workout Four Running Isabelle 36:21 Snatch Run Strategy 37:27 Power Snatch Banter 39:25 Injury Check In 39:50 Workout Five Breakdown 41:56 Fraser Stats Debate 44:13 Rogue Pig Stories 47:24 Ranch Advantage Talk 49:46 Fan Moments Recap 51:24 Predictions And Bubble 53:49 Taylor Workout Story 57:03 Leaderboard Math Talk 01:05:57 Travel Plans And Rituals 01:07:35 Signing Off Next Week

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 Explains Paris Move + French Throwdown Workouts Breakdown | Boys Interrupted Ep. 71

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. 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
