Happy National Boston Marathon Day! We kick off the episode with some very realistic running motivation, reminding everyone that making it to the start line with your bodily fluids sorted out is half the battle, and taking a trip to the medical tent just means you get a cooler story. We recount Erin’s brutal weekend "marathon" hike up Pulpit Rock, which featured Dan hiking in flip flops and eventually having to shove a 40 pound, heavily breathing Bucky the pug into his backpack. Erin also gives a week two update on her "Pull-Up Revolution," celebrating the awakening of her "sleeper cell muscles". Erin then spirals over her invite to the Dick's Sporting Goods Varsity Team brand trip in Tampa, specifically stressing over how to dress "camera ready" without looking like she consulted ChatPPP for fashion advice.In niche internet and pop culture news, we cover the genius behind the "Two Cute Labs" (Stink and Bink) who went viral for selling "your ad here" space on their backs. We also discuss the growing "Jason Kelce fatigue" after his appearance at The Masters frustrated traditionalists, and debate the so called decorum decline involving college bros flipping off cameras outside Augusta National.In sports, we break down two disqualifications: Matt Choi getting DQ'd from an Ironman for drafting (and missing the penalty tent because he skipped orientation), and the shocking overturning of a Pokémon Go Regional Championship simply because the winner put his headphones down too forcefully.We then present our very serious, hard hitting journalism segment: an interview with Max Martin, the CEO of the Enhanced Games! We debrief our chat with him, discussing the $1 million world record prizes, the fascinating concept of building a digital first stadium in just four weeks, and how athletes are utilizing FDA approved testing and doctors to compete safely. Finally, we wrap up with a heartwarming "No Bad, No Sad" story about King Randall’s program, where he takes young men to the grocery store to teach them essential life skills like picking produce, doing laundry, and speaking with eye contact.
