    HYROX Vegas Recap Plus Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Ep. 6 Recap

    • Vegas was not the "exhale" after Phoenix, 17,000+ showed up • Mandalay Bay venue exceeded expectations • Lounge couches, neon relay vibe, and actual Vegas energy • Judging adjustments post-Phoenix and penalty transparency questions • Daria on NYC ticket chaos and affiliate presale reality • $270 solos and $450 doubles and pricing creep • Should NYC expand beyond two weekends? • Dave's DEKA Strong PR and Strong as a bigger lane We break down why Vegas was anything but a quiet follow-up to Phoenix. Mandalay Bay handled the volume, the relay felt like a nightclub, and HYROX leaned into the Vegas vibe in a way that actually worked. We also dig into judging changes, ongoing penalty confusion, and the NYC ticket madness — including what really happened with presale links and why tickets vanished in 90 minutes. Plus pricing talk, relay age group frustrations, and Dave's latest DEKA Strong effort. Plus Bryan The Hedge Podcaster comes on to discuss KOTSK Final Episode of Season 1.

    HYROX, Experiences, and the Business of Looking Cool with Big Bobby Capobianco. Plus Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms Episode 5 Recap.

    Bobby Capobianco came on the program after a HYROX weekend and discusses: • Why HYROX works • From elite basketball to burnout to rebuilding • Why some brands connect and others miss • The power of visuals and experience • Authenticity in the influencer era • The ceiling of HYROX Summary This one starts casual and turns into a bigger conversation about HYROX and the fitness moment we are in right now. Bobby shares his path from high level basketball recruit to completely burned out former athlete who gained 100 pounds on purpose, then rebuilt through CrossFit and eventually moved into the experiential side of the fitness industry. At the core of the episode is why HYROX works. Not just the format, but the feeling. The look. The shareability. The fact that it makes everyday people feel like athletes. The conversation explores why other brands have not captured that same energy, where authenticity fits in a world of paid influence, and why real world experience may matter more than product specs. It is part sports talk, part business breakdown, and part where is this all headed. Plus Bryan from House Darling aka The Hedge Podcaster returns for KOTSK Episode 5.

    Naming HYROX Judges. HYROX Mixed Doubles Ideas. Plus We Revisit Spartan Games 1 and TMX.

    • Elite 15 judging controversy from HYROX Phoenix • Wall ball depth calls and sled line penalties • Judge positioning and why some no reps are impossible to see • Why HYROX should back judges publicly and fix issues privately • Passport and birth certificate requirements for regional championships • Certified copy confusion for U.S. athletes • U.S. versus European passport culture • Spartan DEKA Discovery activations at race festivals • What worked and failed with Spartan Games • Mixed doubles judging and workload imbalance • Why sim times do not count as real race results This Monday Not So Live starts with the HYROX regional championship requirement that you prove you're actually from the region, and the big twist for Americans: it is not "show your license," it is "bring a passport or certified birth certificate." From there the episode bounces through passport culture differences, studio upgrades, and a surprisingly smart Spartan move, DEKA Discovery activations at Spartan festivals that funnel muddy OCR people into fitness racing. The second half is the real meat: Phoenix judging. Cheryl and Dave lay out why the Elite 15 backlash feels louder this time, from wall ball depth calls to sled line penalties that look impossible to judge from the assigned position. They argue HYROX is trying, but the sport is now too big and too high stakes for anonymous, inconsistent officiating. They want better judge positioning, clearer standards, more tech support, and more accountability. The episode closes with a side quest on mixed doubles and why it is hard to regulate at the elite level, plus Matt's ongoing crusade that sim times are not race results and will never impress him the way a real chipped race does.
