    Season 3 Ep. 14 - Saving 9 Dogs, a Gym Injury, & Olympia Predictions

    We saved nine dogs—and getting them out wasn’t exactly peaceful. In Episode 14, Nick tells the full story of discovering a mother and her puppies living behind an oil-change shop with almost no shelter, confronting the owner, getting the dogs veterinary care, and finding them safe homes. Lance also introduces his new puppy and shares the reality of separation anxiety, house training, sleepless nights, and helping a dog adjust to its fourth home in eight months. Later, the crew gets into Zach’s rack-pull injury, clicker training, abused dogs learning to trust again, and why pit bulls are so often misunderstood. Then it’s time for bodybuilding: Patrick Moore’s win over Regan Grimes, pose-by-pose judging, Olympia predictions, waist control, conditioning, and the problem with judging professional bodybuilders from progress photos. The episode closes with Doctor Doom, Avengers: Doomsday, the X-Men, Vision Quest, Robert Downey Jr., and theories about where Marvel’s multiverse story is headed.

    Season 3 Ep. 13 - Tampa Pro Recap, Shark Fishing & Florida Chaos

    The crew is back from an unforgettable weekend in Tampa—and there’s a lot to unpack. After surviving Wisconsin storms, debating rich kids, reviewing the new Spider-Man movie, and discovering the greatest gas station in America, the guys tell the full story of their Florida shark-fishing trip. From catching their own bait to landing sharks beside the boat, it became one of the most memorable parts of the weekend. Then it’s time for the Tampa Pro breakdown. The guys discuss the electric atmosphere when Nick Walker took the stage, why this may have been his best presentation yet, and whether he proved that he can win the Mr. Olympia. They also analyze James Hollingshead’s conditioning and core control, Joe’s potential, Charles Griffen’s comeback and controversial placing, Patrick Moore’s classic shape, and the evolution of bikini, fit model, figure, and women’s bodybuilding. The episode closes with an Atlanta Pro recap, James Hollingshead’s latest win, Regan Grimes’ performance, and the competitors gaining momentum as the Olympia approaches.

    Season 3 Ep. 12 - The Odyssey vs. Troy: Which Movie Is Better?

    Did James Hollingshead deserve the win over Behrooz Tabani? In Part 1 of this week’s Dumbbells & Doobies, the crew breaks down James’s best look yet, the China Pro judging, the breakout 212 physique everyone is talking about, and the early Olympia picture. Before the bodybuilding talk, things go everywhere: planning a Tampa shark-fishing trip, terrifying ocean and bungee-jumping stories, *Obsession*, *The Odyssey* vs. *Troy*, the new animated *Avatar: The Last Airbender*, Flock cameras and AI surveillance, and why earning more somehow feels like affording less. The episode closes on the Andrey Smaev privacy story and a bigger conversation about what should—and should never—be shared online.

    Season 3 Ep. 11 - The NPC USA Championships Were INSANE

    The NPC USA Championships delivered some seriously impressive new IFBB pros—and we’re breaking down the standout physiques across bodybuilding, classic physique, men’s physique, figure, bikini, and wellness. We start with the bodybuilding overall and a close look at Quincy Richie’s conditioning, completeness, and posing. Then we ask whether super-heavyweight Peter Harton had a legitimate case for the overall title. From there, we review the classic physique class winners, including some exceptional structures and next-level conditioning. The men’s physique lineup might have been the surprise of the show. Justin Parker brought an incredible back, while several class winners already looked like established pros. On the women’s side, Jessica Harvey’s figure look was loaded with detail, the bikini competitors showed just how high the division’s barrier to entry has become, and Tiara Baldwin brought a massive, shredded wellness package. We also discuss Paula’s move into women’s bodybuilding, Sarah’s Olympia potential, upcoming coverage from Tampa, shark-fishing plans, and the athletes competing this week. Who impressed you most at the NPC USA Championships—and do you agree with the bodybuilding overall result? Let us know below.
