Sextortion: The Online Scam Targeting Teenage Boys Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

This week, Jason and Gabe get into parenting in a world that looks very different from the one they grew up in.

The conversation centers around sextortion, kids growing up online, and the reality that parents won’t always be there when their kids make a bad decision. The bigger question is how you build a relationship where your kid feels comfortable coming to you when they screw up instead of trying to hide it.

They also talk about having the awkward conversations before someone else does, balancing being a parent and a friend, remembering the stupid things we all did when we were younger, and modeling what it means to be a good man for your sons.

Plus, how many reps Jason can hit at 225, gray hairs, pizza rolls, the upcoming Bench Press Cycle, whether people still read books, and a listener question: Is there anything you swore you’d never let your kids do that you’ve since changed your mind on?

Come as you are. Leave better.

Millennial Dads Need to Be More Selfish Sep 09, 2026

Show notes

Jason and Gabe talk about why millennial dads are spending more time with their kids than past generations, why that’s a good thing, and where it can go too far. They make the case for dads being a little more “selfish” with their time when it comes to training, health, friendships, and the things that give them fulfillment outside of being a parent.

They also get into the difference between happiness and fulfillment, Jason competing in his first USPSA shooting match, Gabe swearing off burpees, and why we’re often too quick to put limits on what we think we’re capable of.

Plus, they talk preschool vs. homeschool, youth sports, and where the line is between helping kids get stronger and putting too much stress on young athletes.

Why You Should Always Be Ready for Anything Sep 02, 2026

Show notes

Jason and Gabe are back talking about what it really means to stay physically ready for whatever life throws at you. Jason shares a recent experience that reinforced why exposure to intensity, fatigue, and uncomfortable situations matters, and why fitness should be about much more than looking good.

They also get into Gabe’s bike racing, old-school track workouts at Seguin High School, the very different experiences of a Snoop Dogg concert and worship music, and why the hardest thing someone is going through still deserves perspective and empathy. Plus, Jason explains why gratitude matters even when life feels heavy and why TRAIN HARD Men’s Club should never be treated as a marketing tool for your gym.

A wide-ranging conversation on fitness, perspective, gratitude, and being ready when life asks something of you.

Chris Hinshaw: CrossFit’s Hidden Role in the HYROX Boom Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

Jason and Gabe sit down with Chris Hinshaw to talk about the evolution of endurance training, the rise of HYROX, and the role CrossFit is quietly playing in its growth.

They break down why CrossFit gyms have become a natural training ground for HYROX athletes, where competitors are getting their training wrong, and why simply adding more running volume isn’t always the answer. Chris shares what he’s seeing from elite athletes and how the best training comes down to understanding the athlete, the stimulus, and what actually needs to improve.

They also compare fitness culture in Europe and the U.S., discuss why the European approach can feel more sustainable, and look at where CrossFit has lost some of the excitement that once made the sport impossible to ignore.

A conversation about endurance, coaching, the changing fitness landscape, and what CrossFit, HYROX, and athletes everywhere can learn from each other.
