Co-YHC arrived at the Stage Resort and Casino behind schedule to find Pit Boss Ronnie solo stretching and ready to put the Pax on a heater. He had obviously gotten warmed up on a few hands of Jack himself as he was donning less than his usual Enron cold weather gear (them north La boys just grown different ya know) . Pleasantries were exchanged, the plan was set and the tables were ready. YHC would hit the Pax with some deep house pain with a few brick synthesizers, cleanse the palate with a track mosey then Ronnie deals the deck of death in all its glorious forms. Goose, Tana, and Cardinal soon shimmied up ready to put those pickleball paychecks on the line. The tracks were hot and the table even hotter but these 5 PAX soon learned that at the Stage Casino …the House always wins. Roll that beautiful bean footage!
Warmup
The usuals plus a bumper mosey cus it felt right.
The Thang
Song: Beastie Boys- Body Movin
Put bricks together and raise them above your head, complete Tin Soldiers/Zombie Walk for song with special Brick Jane Fondas on “body movin”: bring double brick formation to knee and alternate sides in rapid sequence. YHC could actually hear Montanas will power break after 25 seconds of Jane Fondas and he endured the remaining 35 minutes of beatdown off of shear determination. The Tana legend grows…#TanaTransformation #ManBunCity
Deck of Death BlackJack- Various #’s of Shouder Tap Merkins, Incline Merkins, Carolina Dry Docks, Bear Crawl Circles
Song : Sea Shanty, Row Boys Row Boys Row!
Pax in plank formation on bricks, Merkins on Sally Brown (shes the one for me!) and when the row sequence starts lift left brick/right leg then right brick left leg up . YHC is starting to pick up special PAX preferences and I can feel Cardinals love for Sea Shanties growing each beatdown.
Deck of Death Poker: Goose cleaned up with Trip Aces! Which meant: 100 calf raises, More Shoulder Tap Merksin, WW2 Situps
Song: R. Kelly – “I believe I can fly”. YHC took it alllll the way back to 8th grade graduation. Brick Appolo Ohnos during the song with Bent Brick Flys on the Chorus. This was a special type of burn. YHC asked Goose if he, in fact, believed he could fly. He informed all Pax that the only thing he believed at the moment was fiery hatred for R Kelly.
Deck of Death High Card/Low Card: My Memory is hazy here but I do remember 100 SSH and potentially Hand release merkins. It was a classic Monday Chest day by chance.
Dual Song Finisher
Roxanne by the Police: PAX in plank on bricks, “Roxanne” is a merkin and “put on a red light” is a plank jack. Absolute brutality.
DJ Mary: Calvin Harris “Too Close”. Wife pleasers, LBCs then about 90 seconds of Pax giving everything left on Freddy Mercuries.
Count off, name off and Announcements
Lots of rumors on the street about a Cardinal Q on Saturday??
COT and Goose prayed us out
Great effort and push on those long plank holds. Set the tone for anything else a Monday could bring our way.
DJ DOD volume 2 in the books, He’ll return when you least expect him.
