PAX: Safety Valve, Goose, Popeye, Honeysuckle, TeraVanilli, Paradox, FencePost, JiffyLube, America’s Best

AO: Tuesday Tuff, 06/24/2025

Unsure of what the morning held, YHC showed up on a Tuesday with at least 3 beatdowns ready to go.
If only a few PAX showed, the simplest one would suffice. But as a few more HIMs (including and FNG), I had to switch gears mentally to a more interesting Plan B. Then, during warmarama, a few more arrived (including the return of the Dox) and so I decided the Juggernaut would be unleashed (stay tuned for more on this much, much later).

Disclaimer for the FNG, completion of Warmarama including one SSH for Safety Valve.
Then a quick no-bumper mosey while learning about Samuel L. Jackson.
The Thang:
The rules: a category and exercise are announced (ie World History, 10 burpees) and the man chosen to answer it takes a lap. Meanwhile, the rest of the PAX churn out said exercise and can bet up to 10 burpees on whether or not the runner will arrive with the correct answer.
“No Music?” protested TeraVanilli. Only in your head, brother.
The questions were purposefully chosen, and few correct answers were given. Which meant that when the PAX chose Paradox to run and answer, YHC gave the option to bet EITHER that he would answer correctly OR incorrectly. Goose was almost too happy to bet against his friend since the category was “Theatre.” However, Dox returned and correctly answered “South Pacific” thanks in part to the literary acumen passed to him from Popeye’s extended family.
We completed all of the questions for the day with a little more than 2 minutes left, so YHC furiously scribbled some exercises on the board for a couple EMOM rounds. Some PAX got to the last exercise, but no one completed it in 2 tries.

COT
Teravanilla bestowed musical threads to Dox and his offspring. First, Phil the Pain/Hurt/Face Value to Paradox. TV also surprised us with the newest wearable, a Nickelback onesy, which I can only assume he purchased from the same vendor who sells the Super Bowl Champion hats featuring the losing team.
Welcome to the PAX Jiffy Lube! Hope to see you come back in spite of your convictions against exercise and waking up early!

Paradox prayed us out.
