Pardon My Jerk

Listen or Kyle's first takes on the announcement of 4 NOBULL CrossFit Games events. 

This will be our definitive and final CrossFit Games athlete power rankings, 40 all the way up to 1, male and female. Spoiler, Dunc hates BKG. In other news, CrossFit now offers affiliate programming, the Last Chance Qualifier is finalized, and Dave Castro dropped the first individual event of the 2021 NoBull CrossFit Games. 

This week we catch up on life a little bit and dive into the our takes on the approaching CrossFit Games Last Chance Qualifier. 

This week we spend a long time talking semifinals and still forget a bunch of stuff we meant to talk about. 

The Great and Powerful Eugene Depasquale join the Pardon My Jerk Podcast to talk about his life story, his fitness journey, fitness in the United States, how training changes with age, mindset strategies, and just life. Easily one of the best podcasts we have ever done as Eugene shares his wisdom while having some fun. This podcast is absolutely packed with tons of useful information. 

Before diving into our takes from The Granite Games, we give you our reactions to several items of interest in recent CrossFit News.

In our first solo-cast, Kyle provides 15 thoughts and observations from watching the Torian Pro and Mid Atlantic CrossFit Challenge 

This week, we recorded what turned out to be just one interesting conversation between two friends that love CrossFit. We dive into the upcoming Mid Atlantic CrossFit Challenge, programming fallacies, the beginnings of the sport of CrossFit, CrossFit's history, videos to check out plus much more!
