What is the shocking Hyrox incident that sparked this episode?
You tapped it, so we're playing it. It's ZM's Brian Clint, the podcast.
We've got to talk about the High Rocks Pants Pooper incident from today. I
haven't heard about
it. You haven't heard? No, you haven't. If you missed it... It
is everywhere, just like it was everywhere all over.
Oh.
So a 22-year-old Australian high rocks competitor by the name of Joanna has made the news for heavily soiling herself during a competition in Hong Kong, which she went on to win. So, and look... She's
one of the best. We need to state she's
one of
the best high rocks athletes in the world.
She is.
She's
in the top
competitors in the world.
And I think it's important to state we're not having a go at people who have accidents because accidents happen.
Don't I
know it. The issue here is the continuing to compete in high rocks. and use all of the equipment, including the rower, whilst having poo-poo running down your legs. Because
here's the thing, if she came first, which she did, that means every single other athlete or person competing at this event would have had to go in her path. Correct,
correct.
Who is Joanna and why did her competition win become controversial?
Which would have been soiled with soil. The photos, the video footage is as bad as you can think.
Yeah, it's horrific.
Ha!
We actually know a High Rocks athlete, don't we? We know a High Rocks champion by the name of Matty McLean. Is he a champion, is he? Well, everyone who competes in High Rocks is a champion, Bree. Oh, do they all get awards? I think so, yeah. I think today we should call Matty and just check in and just check that this hasn't happened to him. Just check that he's never been a victim of a High Rocks pants pooping before.
He's got High Rocks pooper written all over him.
He does. But we're not going to make the call. Our friend Adrian from High Rocks New Zealand is going to make that call, a.k.a. Sam, who produces Friday Okie this week. Hi, Sam.
Hi, Sam.
Hi, guys.
Why do the hosts bring up Matty McLean as a potential ‘Hyrox pooper’?
Are you willing to do this? Are you willing
to
masquerade as someone from High Rocks New Zealand to check with Matty McLean that he's never pooed himself while doing High Rocks?
oh my God, he's going to hate me for this.
I'll do my best.
You just need to make sure that, you know, someone with as big a profile as Matty McLean is, you know, spreading the word
about
High Rocks in a good way.
Yeah, yeah.
In
a hygienic way.
In a hygienic way and that this hasn't happened to him at one of their events before.
Right. Okay, cool. All right. Okay, I think I'm up for the task. Let's call Matty McLean. Hello, Matt speaking. Hey, mate. Look, it's Adrian Finlay here from Hyrox NZ. Sorry to be reaching out out of the blue like this. No, it's all good. How are you? I'm really good, thanks, mate.
How do the hosts plan to verify Matty’s record with a fake New Zealand call?
How are you? Yeah, good. Good. Look, I'm just reaching out. You're probably aware of some of the publicity that we've had today surrounding the Hyrox brand. Yeah. Yeah. Very unfortunate. Yeah. And look, we're just reaching out to some of our more high profile athletes. And obviously, we're big fans of you. And we're really thrilled to have you as like a representative of the brand out there. So I just want to say thanks. Thank you.
That's kind. Thank you. I
appreciate that. Look, we're just calling because basically in the wake of this, we just want to make sure that anyone who's sort of going out there and representing or being involved with the brand in a public-facing sort of position is making sure that they are sort of representing it as best they can. Do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions quickly? Sure.
What questions does Adrian ask Matty during the surprise phone interview?
Have you ever had any kind of defecation event at a High Rocks event? I'm so sorry. It is quite a personal question.
This isn't a prank call, is
it? No, no, absolutely not, no. If it's easier for me to call you back at another time, that's fine.
No, no, no, no, now it's fine. The answer is no. Oh,
fantastic. Okay, that's great. And could I just get maybe a commitment from you that you won't have one in the future?
No.
Who is that? Adrian Finlay. I'll send an email through after this as a follow-up.
Okay. Thanks, Adrian. I really appreciate
it. Or a follow-through, if you will.
Can
we just get that?
How does Matty respond to the request for a future ‘no‑poop’ pledge?
It's a binding contract
