Yes! I'm finally chatting with 2008 Crossfit Games champ, Jason Khalipa. I've been a fan boy for years so this is big for me. He is also a BJJ champ and dad who hates the idea of the current "dad bod" being normalized.

He's created a great new podcast and YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonKhalipa
