Lost clips of casting call from Howard Stern Movie (frisbee scene)

Lost clips of casting call from Howard Stern Movie (frisbee scene)

In history there have been some well known trios – Three Stooges, Three Tenors, Bee Gees, Huey/Dewey/Louie, so Sugar Daddy decided to do his best Chris Young impersonation and call on his Famous Friends – LRC (Deflated, Smithers, and Foundation) to lead Swarm.  As this was going to be an epic event it resulted in creating its own GroupMe channel and was planned months in advance.  Fast forward to this morning and much deliberation and consultation we came up with a stellar weinke for 13 lucky participants to enjoy this morning.  So here is recap of what happened.

To kick off this event we decided to go old school and have Deflated be our main MC and lead us in the Disclaimer and DICCS.  Disclaimer included a clear and audible announcement that we will remain on campus.  This disclaimer was perfectly heard by all and was even better since it did not cost the group $100 for use of the microphone (Inaugural EFFEE reference).  With that the reigns were handed off to Smithers for the open mosey down the concrete path.

Smithers led mosey towards the circle for quick warmup consisting of:

  • SSH
  • Calf Stretch
  • Runner Stretch
  • Pickles and Goo stuff (upward dog/downward dog)

Next was mosey past the football stadium towards the parking lot hill.  As Smithers led the pax he decided to give instructions for exercises to all the pax that were in front of him (none) of what to do at each opening.  As the remaining pax arrived an exercise was called back towards the remaining pax.  Depending on where you stood in the line for the game of telephone the count for each differed but was somewhere between 15,10 or 5.  With that we get to the top of the hill and now Smithers decides to go rogue and scrap the preplanned weinke and play Ice9 Frogger into Champion Forest.   We amazingly did not lose any of our 3 credits while attempting to cross.

Next instruction was for alternating between 10 merkins and 10 big boys at each Stop Light street light.  This proceeded for few lights until the LRC Congress investigated these missteps by the Q and then passed along to the LRC House of Representatives recommendation to impeach the Q from his duties.  By a vote of 2-1, Smithers is removed from Q and Deflated is elected new Q.  Decides to stop Dasher from proceeding further into Champion Forest and return back to campus.  Upon return proper Zin (Zin apologize you do not receive credit in app for workout due to BB reference) crossing was performed across Providence with all pax as a group and we moseyed with various exercises down towards the football stadium.

Deflated decided to pull a Foley (2nd old timer F3 reference) and within 2 mins decided his portion of the Q was complete.  Handed to Foundation who brought the group back up through parking lot and led entire group around for quick 4 Square tour consisting of merkins, jump squats, speed skaters, big boys.  At this point the 13 pax in attendance were broken into 3 groups of 4 using Bottlecap 3v3 b-ball team logic. With that cones were placed for reference of boundaries and endzone guidance randomly onto the parking lot.  Then 2 teams were set to kickoff with game of Ultimate Frisbee as 3rd did another round of 4 squares as the timer.

Teams:

  • Nali’s Heroes: Sugar Daddy, Premature, Easy Button, Foundation, Schnitzel
  • Kraft’s Massage Parlor: Deflated, Rubbermaid, Ghosted, Blue Screen
  • Toon Squad: Smithers, Gerber, Dasher, Mute

Each team had chance to play 4 games and complete 2 rounds of 4 squares and completed close to 4 miles in total.  Based on play all clearly showed the lack of athleticism amongst and proved why Swarm should remain a runner’s workout not an athletic event.  To help others understand here is quick scouting report of all that played

  • Gerber – Decided to replace the consonants in his name for vowels and became the Greek Freak at the FT line with the frisbee.  Once he got his hands on the frisbee it took a good 10-15 secs before a   throw was completed
  • Premature – Almost lost a few chicklets this morning due to a bad throw by Easy Button that hit him right in the kisser.
  • Smithers –  Nearly was relegated to walk home today due to early demerits received while on Q and for post TD celebration flip of frisbee to Deflated.  Instead he was forced to pay for post workout drinks at DD.
  • Rubbermaid – may look like Kurt Rambis with the glasses but unsure if due to lack of anti-fog spray or athletic ability did not provide much help for Kraft’s Massage Parlor Squad
  • Deflated – some say he looked like Tom Brady, we say he looked like just another 40+ year old playing QB playing backyard football.
  • Dasher – rounded out the Toon Squad but instead of looking like Road Runner, today he appeared to more reassemble Brucie from the Longest Yard.  It was not until the very end did, we see a typical mid-air Dasher collision.
  • Mute – truly lived up to his namesake and was mostly silent for majority of game.  Unsure if he was singing Skee-Lo or talking to himself at one point as I heard him saying “Wish I was a little bit taller…”
  • Ghosted – unsure if he was pouting due to be a Jets fan and teamed up with couple Pats fans or but proved to be more MarK Sanchez then Vinny Testaverde with the frisbee today as every catch looked like the butt fumble
  • Blue Screen – Was elected team MVP not for his stellar play, but for ensuring that Deflated walked away with a Bob Kraft smile on his face after throwing a TD right before proceeding to head to 4 squares and providing an adequate massage.
  • Sugar Daddy – After further review of game tape, come to realize the reason for Premature being unable to make catch was due to reflection of the lights off of Sugar Daddy’s scalp.  For this he just missed out of winning defense MVP as it was his own team
  • Easy Button – Clearly not a good day for his Madden rating (24) as he had few drops and miss throws including the one mentioned above that hit Premature in the kisser.  He just barely remained ahead of TB Bucs long snapper Zach Triner for worse rating ever.
  • Schnitzel – chants of MVP…MVP…MVP were heard based on his performance today, but unfortunately this is a team sport and even with his performance he could not throw and catch the frisbee by himself.  So instead he gets to drowned his team’s loss with an early pint today olde Mecklenburg brewery.
  • Foundation – even with the added Nali bonus of being the 5th on a 4 man team was most absent in the game.  Believe one LRC member said he works harder at his burpees then his ultimate frisbee game.  Either way he too is going to will be having a pint today to commensurate his team’s loss…For clarification Foundations pint will be from Haagen-Dazs.

All in all still had fun and complete a workout, until next time

 

I Hate Birthday Q’s

I hate when guys sign up to Q on their birthday and then subject the whole group to their birthday burpees.  I don’t want to do burpees just because its your birthday.  That’s stupid.  Anyways, now that that’s off my chest.

Extra long DiCCS for our FNG – Gabriel Blunt from Briarcrest.

 

WARM UP

10 Burpees

Mosey to parking lot past Rudy’s Poop Palace.  Jimmy Duggan waiting on the 6 then 10 more Burpees.

Mosey to the traffic circle.  Calf stretch waiting on the 6 then a downward dog.  10 more burpees.

 

THE THANG

Mosey to football parking lot for a Star Fish.  (Yeah, thats right.  Dispite Zin’s best effort to be more like his whetstone Hooch and make all things sexual, this is known as a Star Fish).

5 jump squats in the middle.  Outside exercises were:

  • 15 Turkish Get Ups
  • 15 No Surrenders
  • 15 Baryshnikov’s Right Leg
  • 15 Baryshnikov’s Left Leg

 

Gather the 6 in and then repeat with 10 reps on the outside and 10 jump squats in the middle.  Legs are nice and loose now.  Mosey towards the middle of the two traffic circles getting into groups of 3 as you run.

Grinder: Exercises on the ends with a runner in between.  On one end partners split 150 Ranger Merkins and 150 Wide Arm Merkins.  On the other end partners split 200 LBC’s and 200 Gas Pumpers.

Mosey to back to Rudy’s Poop Palace.

1 Burpee per light back to COT.  There were 8 lights.  (Mad Dog pushed hard just so he could arrive before me and call have a nice day for the final 30 seconds.  Veteran move).

 

MOLESKIN

  • Thanks to the 20 guys that joined.  I had promised no Frisbee games but little did I know that the tripod LRC crew had planned an ultimate Frisbee Q for Swarm.  I heard the frisbee hit the ground a lot and based on the mumble chatter in the playhouse, it appears everyone soaked their hands in butter over night.
  • O-69 with a powerful testimony during COT about the impact F3 has had and how some people bet against him saying he wouldn’t stick with F3.  Since apparently he has strong determination to prove people wrong…..Hey O, I bet you can’t buy me a handle of Crown once a month for a year.
  • I haven’t seen a post about yesterday’s Floater 6 man speech.  It was very powerful and I appreciate you guys sharing what’s on you mind and in your heart here recently during COT.  Keep them coming.  Your words are impacting other men.
  • Welcome FNG Swisher Sweets.  His hospital name was Gabriel Blunt so the name pretty much wrote itself.  He lives in Briarcrest and was brought out by a Lawsonite.  Pretty sure Recalc will be chirping all day about that one.
  • Great to see some old faces making it back out consistently to workouts.
  • Surge has his street crew in top shape with Falcon and Golden Plates hitting it hard lately.
  • I was partnered up with Dough Boy as the lone foursome group for the Grinder so I was able to make easy work out of the push ups leaning on Dough Boy to dominate the counts (another veteran move by my part – never pick the sniffing cat pee award winner when trying to knock out 300 Merkins).
  • Either not much mummble chatter or my heart pumping in my head was too loud today to hear anyone.  I do know it was quite moist out there and highly recommend using that word around your wife today.  I also find wives love the word penetrate.  Put them together for a real way to annoy them.

 

ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • See Surge if you want to sign up for CPR class.  Its about an hour and a half.  August 9 or 10th at Five Stones Church.
  • Pray for Chicken’s buddy Greg dealing with a cancer scare.

 

Just when I thought they couldn’t get any…..

Swimmers and EE launched an new site…ASPEN… and just when I thought they couldn’t get any dumber, they go and totally redeem themselves.  This site is great! Great location, great grounds and great pax!   Although, I didn’t explore at all today I look forward to future beat downs to expand in this awesome site.

WU: We did stuff

The thang:  10 light poles.  Merkin shredders at each starting at 10, 9,8 etc.. Mosey to the front of the school partner work one does exercise while other does loop.  Two rounds of stuff ( I forgot what we did).

Moleskin:  Saw work by all but special call out to Loafer,  the dude is getting faster!  He keeps this up he’s going to give Chastain a run for his money!  Great to see HairBand and EE as well as some new faces to add to the mix.  Welcome Hokey Poky to FC

Looking forward to more posts a this AO!

Invincible…The Waxhaw Version

Invincible…The Waxhaw Version

 

Inspired by the Marc Wahlberg classic, “Invincible,” I decided to come up with a football “Weinke” to spice things up a little.  With dudes running on fumes from vacation, humidity, life’s struggles, I tried to drag out some laughs and old stories of the glory days when we were in pee wee, middle school, and high school football.

With excitement and nerves galore, I woke up at 4:00 am.  I showed up at the Chiseled campus at 4:45 to set up our football facility.  This entailed taking the wrapper off my new 5’ Jenga blocks and setting them up in a ladder formation and large circle.  I’ll get back to why later.  As the cars came into the parking lot, I had to direct them to different parking spots.  Glad Centerfold was not around, as he usually comes in on 2 wheels and might have taken some of us out.  The coupons were stacked in one corner of the asphalt field.  The bricks were placed in the center of the makeshift field.  We were ready to go…

Warm up

Moroccan Night Clubs

Jack and Jills

Side Stradle Hops

Imperial Walkers

Yoga Warrior Poses

Calf Stretches
(To honor Damascus)

The Thang

OK, here’s the deal.  We start out with 35 reps of something.  I line everyone up.  Each side (to my left and right) picks 1 receiver.  I throw 3 bullets to the receivers.  If they catch it, -5 off reps.  If they drop it, +5 on reps.  Group could drop to 20 reps or do as many as 50.  Make sense?  Guess you had to be there.

Did a miriad (bid word for some of you, including me)  of bubble screens, slants, skinny posts, deep outs, and punt coverages.  Exercises consisted on irkins, merkins, outlaws, box cutters, 21s, curls for the girls, Russian crab dips, Romanian leg lifts, Stormy Daniels (Mashers made this one up months ago), and so forth and so on.  In Jenga block circle (known as “The Pit”), Pax had to weave in and out like the commercial with the dude from Mike and Molly.  When they came out of “The Pit,” I would direct the brothers to go left or right.  Would then randomly throw a laser to one of them.  Part of throw/catch scenario before.

On the Jenga “Ladder,” we did quick steps on our toes.  Think of running backs going through the “rope drills.”  Again, part of throw/catch scenario before.

Punt coverage was fun.  Surge (self proclaimed rugby star with some mad skills) kicked the ball as far as he could.  We had to sprint to the ball.  Everyone had to touch it or run through the end zone, like you see the Tarheel football team perform on TV.  Come on Fusebox, I’m expecting a dig.

A lot of great engagement by the Pax.  High Hat kept me in stitches.  When guys would run routes, he would cover them.  Falcon volunteered for everything.  Must have been his Russel Wilson mass produced Seahawks jersey that inspired him.  😊  Judge Smalls almost dove for one.  Sledge ran a 4.32678 forty on a go route.  Very impressive.  Forgot to catch the ball though.  Maybe because I was 15 yards off the target.  Others were stars as well.  Can’t remember them all.

Special thanks to Loafer to give me a long leash to run with this Weinke.  I had to run a lot of audibles, as I game planned for 8-10 dudes.  The brothers came out in force.  Already thinking of ways to tweak workout next time.

Moleskin

This was hilarious. Asked for 1 quarterback and 1 receiver.  Receiver had 7 seconds to find a hole in the zone and “sit down” for a potential pass/reception.  17 of us spread out and did side straddle hops to create diversions and small windows to throw in.  When High Hat ran his pattern, he found a spot and literally “sat down.”  Judge Smalls overthrew him.  Go figure.

Meathead Mashup, “Little Baby!”

So last Friday was Christmas morning for me, figuratively speaking, of course.

Concert Season had finally arrived and the M and I were en route to Raleigh to see the Dave Matthews Band tour opener. Cloud 9. Just when I’m thinking the day can’t get any better I receive an email – yes, email, not a slack, DM, tweet… – from Unplugged, seeing if I can Q the following Wednesday. I replied that I’d be happy to but warned that the workout would fall in between my four-show mini-tour – Dave Week, as I call it – and that it would only make sense to use a DMB playlist for the workout. Unplugged didn’t budge. “Bring on the DMB,” he said, which told me one thing – He was hard up for a Q!

My favorite part of Meathead in 2021 has been the musical “discussions” that break out each week.

“What defines a ballad?”

“How do Poison and The Foo Fighters stack up to each other?”

“Which era is better – 80s? 90s? 2000s?”

The one guarantee each week is there will be plenty of banter around the chosen tunes and this morning’s workout was no different.

Luckily for the pax, over the weekend a buddy turned me on to Umphrey’s McGee’s Zonkey album (12-track mashup covering the likes of Marley, Talking Heads, Chicago and Frank Zappa – and that’s just one song), which gave me an idea. Rather than risk getting blackballed from future DJ opportunities for subjecting the pax to 45 minutes of DMB, why not improve my odds with 30+ songs across multiple genres and eras all mashed together?

If anything it was something new and gave us something to think about other than what’s below.

Encore

*  My goal for the workout was to hit the entire body and get our heart rates up. We didn’t actually get as many reps as scripted (only 132 swings) but I think the mission was accomplished. To my surprise, the cleans stood out the most from all the exercises. It’d been a while since I had looked forward to getting to squats.

*  You’ve heard of a three dog night? Well today was a two-hat morning for me. I brought two speakers just in case one failed. Also brought two hats cause I knew the sweat would be pouring! The heat/humidity didn’t disappoint.

*  As always, I appreciate the opportunity to lead at Meathead – thank you. It was a good morning that’s bound to affect tomorrow’s golf round – but since Frehleys liked the music it was all worth it! Here’s the album for those who are curious: https://open.spotify.com/album/5GHLXH6qgXR4Gq10bmFfEo?si=Jmn9hBKxQMyXybaR7fMvgQ&dl_branch=1

So many cherries

Today I was accused of making up the weinke on the fly. That hurts. Ad-libbing, yes, but making it up? How dare you?

 

11 men plus a Chicken in a towel arrived at the humpiest site in Waxhaw. Moments after departing their air conditioned vehicles they were already dripping and I hadn’t even given the DiCCS yet.

Warmup

Mosey around the HS lot and circle up near the top for SSHs, Moroccan Night Clubs, more SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, Calf Stretches, Glidah Stretches, waving our hands in the air like we just don’t care, and ending with even more SSHs.

A very quick mosey to the curb to really get loose. Line up along the curb for some suicides.

  • To the center and back
  • 5 Mike Tysons
  • To the far end and back
  • 10 Bonnie Blairs (2=1, duh)
  • To the center and back
  • 5 burpees

Heart rates in the optimal position, we mosey.

The Thang

Long mosey to the first alcove on the left of the school for some 7s. Starting with 6 Donkey Kicks and a quick run to the next alcove to do Speed Skaters (2=1). Repeato until finishing with 1 Donkey Kick and 6 Speed Skaters.

Another mosey past the roundabout and towards the back of the school. Another curb. Another lineup. Broad Jump Burpees. Lots of groaning. From one curb to the opposite and back. Burpee with a broad jump instead of jumping straight up. Did I mention the groaning? Fine. Audible. We won’t go back. Instead we started picking cherries. Drive By didn’t see what the big deal was about picking cherries. You’ll see…

So we did a modified version of the Broad Jump Burpees. 2 Broad Jumps, 4 Walking Lunges, and 8 Bear Crawls all the way to the other curb. Pick those cherries, drop’em in a bucket. Do it again. Do another round of Broad Jump, Lunges, and Bear Crawls. Pick more cherries. Drive By started to get the point. It was somewhere around here I was accused of making it up as I went. Maybe the cherries were made up, but they got the job done.

Back to our regularly scheduled weinke…

Mosey back to the roundabout for some Paula Abduls. 2 light poles up, 5 T-Merkins. 1 light pole back, 5 jump squats. Repeato for a few rounds.

Partner exercises: 75 Dips, 75 Step-Ups, and 75 Derkins while the other partner does a half lap. Running low on time so a final little mosey to the trees in the center of the parking lot. 5 Bobby Hurleys at every other tree to the top of the hill. Then a jailbreak to COT.

Moleskin

The Chicken was waiting for us at COT. At some point while we were doing the 7s a law enforcement officer stepped out of the bushes. It was kinda weird. He said hey but mostly ignored us. He was checking all the doors and entrances to the school. Makes me wonder if a half naked Chicken standing in the parking lot is what prompted his arrival. I think that’d disturb anyone…

The Thang

Mosey long way around to elementary school parking lot.  Partner up and grab a lifting rock (or in schneider’s case just grab a small rock). P1 run to end of the parking lot and back while P2 does exercise, then switch.

As a team complete 250 curls, 150 overhead presses, 50 blockee’s

Mosey to long entrance to middle school off Deal road.  Run to light #1 and complete 2 burpees, run back to start for 10 jump squats, run to light #1 for 2 burpees then to light #2 for 4 burpees. Back to start for 10 jump squats.  Repeat at light #1 and #2 and then 6 burpees at light #3. Back to start for 10 jump squats.  Repeat at light 1,2,3 and then 8 burpees at light #4.  This was a crowd pleaser.

Mosey side of middle school and find some wall.

15 Mike Tyson’s and 15 Donkey Kicks

Coin Flip Q presented by Bushwood

Bushwood has been a Site Q vacation for a little while, so we are back at it finally but playing catch up on the Q’n realm. One Star and YHC flipped a coin and he lost..

Warmup:

Mashers headed to the appropriate positions while the rest of the PAX Mosey –> SSH/ImpW/hammy stretch/wide leg merkin/calf stretch/Up/Down dog/Runner stretch

Thang:

Headed to half wall for some Step-ups/Dips/Derkin 2x each. Cross over Marvin School road to the newly maintaned back nine cul-de-sac. Pair up, ab work while other HIM ran. Big Bois, Freddy Mercury’s, LBC. SInce the grounds were so nice, we decided to stay in the Cul-De-Sac for a little Duck-Duck-Goose!

Circle up, each pax called an exercise for the group to do while the caller ran two laps around the group. VArious exersizes were called… Of course, J-Wow has to be J-Wow and call Diamond Merkins on his turn…. Knowing fair well he didn’t have to do them as he took his sweet a$$ time running the circle with a grin! We Jersey folk call that a dirt-bag move!!! Ha!

finish up heading back to the front nine for some wall work. with same partner, one bear crawls to the other side of lot and runs back while the other does some wall work-Jabs/Air Presses/Tysons/Donkeys. Still a little time left, so One Star pulled a rather cool audible of a Show and Tell. All sit at the wall, and each person tells a quick story of how they got their F3 name. When each finished all had to do 5 Donkey Kicks.

Head back to COT for  the Fiji Fast feet.

MOleskin:

trying to get things back in order on the Bushwood site as its been a long summer with a lot of vacations. but think we are back at it.

The Show and tell Audible was really cool. Was based off the 6th man from this past year that has been fizzled out, but was a great way to know how each PAX was named. Kudos on that call.
