Episode 17: Olympia Controversy, Judging Trends & A Near-Death Experience 😅

The 2025 Olympia results are in - and we’ve got thoughts.

Chris and Rachel break down the big shifts in judging trends, why bikini went softer this year, and what it means for athletes heading into 2026. Expect honest takes, sparkly suit talk, and the usual dose of chaos.

Oh - and yes, Producer Bubsickle aka Chris's wife Valerie really did save Chris’s life this week (literally). Ice cream was involved. 🍦
