PAX: AB, Roxbury, Safety Valve, Duff Man, Mom Jeans! Ponzi!

AO: The Goose’s Den, 10/15/26

By: America’s Best

“I’m always thinking one step ahead. Like a carpenter that makes stairs.”

We’ve climbed those stairs at the Goose’s Den dozens of times. But have we ever really earned it? Today we would.

Abridged Warmarama so we’d have as much time a possible for the thang…

Here’s the deal. There are 12 steps right there.
10 Merkins gets you up the first step.
Then run to the flagpole and back.
When you arrive back at the stairs, 10 Merkins +20 V-Ups gets you up the first two steps.
Repeato your run to the flag pole come back to 10 Merkins +20 V-ups +30 dips. That gets you to the third step.
Continue this way, adding each time
40 air squats
50 shoulder taps
60 Apolo Ohnos
70 flutter kicks
80 Rocky Balboas
90 side straddle hops
100 heel raises

While doing step-ups and talking to Popeye about Lynyrd Skynyrd last week, YHC had this idea. We would also listen to a playlist curated by YHC, and by guessing both the title and the artist of any song, the PAX could cross off one exercise and no longer have to do it. YHC graciously also offered if they got one or the other we could cut the reps in half for one exercise.
After figuring the theme of the songs, some of the PAX were able to decipher some of the song titles at least.

The playlist, so Honeysuckle and Vanilli and Popeye and White Meat and Dox can lament that they missed the chance to flex their acumen:

Step
Two Step
Gimme 3 steps
Steppin, To the a.m.
Steppin’ Out
13 Steps Lead Down
One Step Closer
Every Little Step

We almost made it to the top … almost to the SSH… we will get there next time.

SYITG,
