What’s Happening with Wodapalooza Socal feat. J.R Howell | Ep. 84

NYC Travel Sketchiness, Cabin Gym Setup & WFP + Wodapalooza Programming Talk (ft. JR/James Howell)

The hosts congratulate listener Mark Colon Endurance on having a baby, recap a cabin trip where they brought a trailer of gym equipment, and share travel stories including a sketchy late-night New York taxi encounter and an odd Uber detour. They discuss essentials for building a portable garage gym, estimate the cost of the setup, and joke about losing phones, Instagram collabs, and playing Jeopardy! and Call of Duty. James outlines the upcoming World Fitness Project events and tests, including combine-style drills, a 10K, bench press max, and a swim-bike-rowing-snatch finale, plus their Hyrox plans. Guest JR (James Howell of Crash) joins to discuss programming Battle of the Camps at SoCal/Wodapalooza, avoiding conflicts of interest, studying past competitions, and balancing fairness, logistics, and spectator-friendly team formats, including keeping staple “grunt work” elements.
