Have you ever seen an erupting volcano as the sun rises? How about a man changing a baby diaper while his friends surround him doing coupon curls? Still no? Surely you’ve seen a priest sprint on a malfunctioning treadmill then? A smoothly operated food fight? Hmmm seems like you should really re-evaluate your bucket list. Wellll 5 pax gathered on an especially humid bayou morning and were ready to give their best performances and embrace their talents.
Duke, get the footage but you can’t use words!!
Warm up
Standard warmup and we have reached the humidity level of…checks notes…swamp butt after imperial walkers. Hello Summer.
Bumper stop sign mosey discussing all things fireman’s fair. I’ll get those boudin egg rolls next year , I promise.
BigBoyORiley
Took the F3 traditional IW and swapped out for big boys for the whole song . Goose again provided QIC wisdom by bringing Yoda Mat and it only took two minutes of Baba for YHC and Tap to be clinging on it sideways like Rose and Jack at the end of Titanic. “I’ll never let go Tap !! “
The 2.0 Remix
Introduced a new segment due to my daughter really sharing in the creative beatdown process recently. (Never been more proud. ) After 2 years of hearing her old man say “this would be a great F3 song “ she has tuned her own ears to catch pain inducing jamz. During a recent Nintendo Wiii Dance session we heard Fatboy slims “JinGoLoBa” and she knew it was certified platinum pain. So courtesy of Evelynn the pax did coupon quick steps with air raises on all versions of JinGoLoBa. This heated up quickly and checked both my indicators of a good F3 song: Cardinal hated it and Goose questioned its origins so he could prevent future occurrences. Thus cementing 2.0 Remix as a mainstay in YHC beatdowns. Bring the pain DJ E!
The Main Thang a Lang
F3 Cranium
Been tinkering in the beatdown lab with versions of this and gave it a try today.
1 pax pick from bag
3 options in bag:
Charades, Pictionary , hum a tune
Pax do curls or big boys for 30 seconds
1 pax performs while we guess with 30 seconds on clock
Correct – we move on with track mosey in between each round
Incorrect – 10 burpees
We witnessed….
An Erupting Goose volcano
A smooth Lifeguard
Cardinal on a Treadmill (a first ?)
Failed Black hole (attempted picture)
Tap Applying sunscreen
Food fight
Goose Walking in Sunshine (tune )
Taps Lions in the Jungle (tune )
Prolly missing a few but I was impressed with the pax charade skills. The humidity zapped any hope of Pictionary so we can literally not go back to the drawing board but charades and hum that tune provided sufficient work. Highlights were Gooses volcano face looking just like one of his 2.0s having a tantrum and Smooths most laid back food fight in the history of food fights. Overall some great performances to distract us from the monotonous big boys and curls.
Wrapped up with Proud Mary
Big boys on Rolling

COT and Tap prayed us out.
Grateful for the men that makeup F3 and to start the week with equal parts fun and hard work .

During the recent Monsoon 5k one of our distraction conversations was about personality tests and Goose told us about a recent leadership consultation where the different types of working genius are all broken down. (6 types of Working Genius , see link below) . It made me think about playing cranium as a kid and how even early on you can see people’s God given talents flow naturally. It lead to my own reflection of how to use my own strengths for service but also when to recognize that I’ve waded into the waters of my own weaknesses. I’ll leave you with that as todays pax challenge: embrace your God given strengths, recognize your weaknesses and put them both forward for service.
