Happy National Wine Day! We are trying out a new podcast intro and struggling through this episode as Erin nurses a massive hangover after drinking a little too much at a surprise 50th birthday party at her sister's B&B. She also recaps the struggle of trying to leave the party while her 7-year-old decided to become a "party girl" and perform magic tricks with doorway streamers.
We then dive into a heated rant about the disrespect of neighbors blasting bass music late at night when you have sleeping kids, and Erin reveals her passive aggressive revenge tactic: sending the kids outside early in the morning to aggressively ring their bicycle bells. In fitness news, Erin gives an exciting week six update on her "Pull-Up Revolution." She finally felt the right muscles activate, got her head to the bar, and used her newfound strength to casually lift a heavy shelving system into Dan's truck at Lowe's. We also review a brilliant new ASICS marketing campaign that shows "before and after" photos of runners taken just 15 minutes apart, highlighting that the mental sanity you get from a workout is the real transformation.
For "Tea Time," we unpack the messy internet feud between a runner/musician named Zach and DJ Diplo. Diplo sparked massive outrage by claiming he no longer needs to pay human artists because he can just use AI, leading to a bizarre comment section war where Diplo punched down and insulted musicians as "degenerate alcoholics". We also debate a hilarious act of spite at a major PGA golf tournament in Philly, where a homeowner built a massive platform in their backyard just to peer over the privacy fence and watch the event with their friends.
We also tease our upcoming trip to the Enhanced Games in Vegas. We get a terrifying update on the local black bear that has been destroying Erin's trash cans (and ripping off the metal pins).
In pop culture, we review the 42 step daily routine of Bryan Johnson, longevity guy. Finally, we cover a disastrous Houston Astros 5K/10K where runners were backed up for over an hour just trying to cross the finish line on the field, and celebrate Canada hosting their very first National Women's Wheelchair Rugby Championship!
