    #246 - App Registration Rage, FIFA Water Bans, TMZ's Secret Tactics

    This week, we are operating on a generally elevated baseline of anxiety. Between hosting an 11-kid birthday party with a piñata, Erin's washing machine dying right when she needs to wash couch cushion covers, and a slammed hand in a truck door, the stress is very real. We crack open a full sugar Red Bull and a Spindrift to try and get through it. We kick things off with some "anti-motivation" for your hot summer runs: when the wind and heat are getting you down, just remember that you could be enduring 36 hours of labor or passing a kidney stone. We also vent our absolute rage over our posture after seeing photos of our rounded shoulders in the new Team Struggle Run shirts. Desk life and side-sleeping are clearly taking a toll, but we do have some positive fitness updates, including Erin mastering the dead hang and building sturdy wiffle ball strength through her pull up training. Next, we go on a massive rant about app registration requirements. We are completely sick of immediate pop-ups, cookie preferences, and forced account creations. Honestly, it would be easier to just hand-deliver our passwords, blood tests, and retinas straight to Jeff Bezos so he can just have all our data once and for all. We celebrate our former podcast guest and track-and-field Paralympian, Beatriz Hatz, who is making history as the first differently-abled contestant on Love Island. We also touch on the crazy drama of a local police officer quitting his force to join the same show. We then dive into a dedicated FIFA segment, covering three wild soccer stories. First, there's an alleged ban on outside water bottles that will force fans to buy overpriced water in the blistering heat. (I think FIFA recently repealed this, but we recorded before that.) We also discuss Heineken’s clever "solo fan" commercial featuring Xavi, which leads us to admit we would absolutely fail to recognize a celebrity like Bad Bunny if he sat next to us undercover. To wrap up the sports talk, we share a wholesome video breakdown of the Japanese national team arriving in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, in matching suits to receive traditional rancher hats from the governor. Moving into pop culture, we give a behind-the-scenes look at how TMZ actually gets the scoop, from keeping producers stationed daily at hospitals and courthouses to instantly calling everyone from mailmen to neighbors when news breaks. We also issue a quick reality TV PSA regarding Amanda Batula from Summer House: beta blockers are for lowering your heart rate during fight-or-flight moments, not for zoning out like benzos. For our "No Bad, No Sad" segment, we review arguably our best viral video yet, a corporate dad letting his inner DJ out on the turntables at a Guitar Center with his daughter.

    #245 - Wrigley Rooftops Lawsuit, $10 Million Usain Bolt Bounty, IOC Prize Money Backlash

    Merch - https://nonmembersshop.com/ We kick off the episode by celebrating World Ocean Day and establishing a new strict deep-sea mandate: scientists need to completely stop discovering new, terrifying ocean creatures because humanity has officially hit its maximum capacity for unknowns. Erin details her highly specific ocean rules, explaining that she will only step foot in clear water during low tide because anything resembling high-tide seaweed, jellyfish, or a slimy freshwater pond is an absolute scare. Still recovering from our wild Las Vegas weekend and battling a massive wave of Sunday Scaries, Erin recaps a local backyard pig roast shindig she attended. Shifting over to fitness, Erin gives an exciting week seven update on her "Pull-Up Revolution" program. Because traveling threw off her routine, she had to smash multiple workouts back-to-back, leaving her body completely wrecked but yielding massive progress. This progress prompts her to recount an hour-long argument on a Vegas casino floor with triathlete coach Noel Mulkey, who claimed she could do a pull-up right now using "mind over matter". Mike then details a birthday trip to "Activate," a high tech indoor playground that feels like stepping straight into a Mr. Beast or Squid Game challenge. He spent an hour and a half jumping over glowing spy lasers, memorizing patterns on flashing floor tiles, and aggressively chucking balls at asteroids on a screen to clear a team scoreboard. Erin explains that her favorite part of the day is nesting in her couch corner to play Fortnite duos with Dan. We debate the game's massive age demographic and its chaotic mechanics, from dropping out of a flying bus to taking "magical trinkets" off defeated players. In major sports news, we analyze the Enhanced Games dropping a massive announcement: a whopping $10 million bounty for any athlete who can officially break Usain Bolt’s legendary 2008 100-meter world record of 9.58 seconds. This leads into a massive wave of track and pop culture news, starting with the International Olympic Committee president going viral for a tone-deaf statement against paying Olympic athletes prize money. We look forward to the tech billionaire funded Athlos women's only track event in New York City this October, and celebrate Flavor Flav securing approval from Las Vegas commissioners to host "She Weekend", a massive, free public block party on the Vegas strip this July to support women's sports. We then dive into the courtroom drama where the Chicago Cubs are suing the owners of the iconic "Wrigley Rooftops" bleachers across the street, attempting to stop them from selling private vantage point tickets after their historical 17% revenue sharing agreement expired in 2024. While the Cubs claim lost revenue, the rooftop owners claim property rights, prompting us to mock the stadium's dry, $20 chicken tenders. We wrap up the episode with a heartwarming "No Bad, No Sad" story about a neighborhood Pet Walk Tour in Fairmont, Philly, where community members gather to spot cats in windows and hand out golden retriever high fives to build community.

    #244 - Peak Journalism at the Enhanced Games

    Viva Las Vegas! We are on the ground for a completely immersive weekend of sports and journalism at the Enhanced Games. We kick off this high-stakes trip with a pre-party check-in, slamming Excedrin Migraine on the plane, loading up on hydration to survive the desert, and breaking out our heavyweight credentials featuring our own blown up faces. We also hype up our secret weapon: a beautifully laminated, line-graph business plan we are desperately trying to pitch to a billionaire investor. Our first debrief covers the opening press conference, which looked incredibly legit with massive media platforms and tripods. The mainstream press came in guns blazing, highlighted by a BBC reporter absolutely grilling the panel on whether the games are just a pharmaceutical money grab. We also detail a former Olympic official defending the event in the name of science, and the wild story of how organizers had to track down the original 2008 manufacturers to custom make the legally banned swimming "super suits". Then, the real hotel chaos strikes. We recap a massive key card failure that left us locked out of our room, an elevator completely stuffed to the brim with partying tourists, a frantic front desk standoff involving a security guard and a locksmith, and a brutal traffic jam that forced us to cancel our Lyft and completely miss our dinner with Renee. That night we hit the creator cocktail party and befriend tennis player Alex at the bar and later found iconic triathlete Noel Mulkey. Talent executive Will then invites us to crash the exclusive founders' party. We manage to sneak past the guards, despite standing out in basic black t-shirts, to watch synchronized gymnasts perform inside glowing plastic orbs in the pool. Plus, Erin details reaching her "no-filter" third glass of wine mark, resulting in her aggressively lecturing a rich investor about why buying fake social media followers is total garbage. The next day, we take our seats on the "surface of the sun" in the 95-degree media stands, starving and sweaty. Swimmer Kristian Gkolomeev crushes the 50m freestyle in a super suit, beating the world record to win a cool $1 million, sending the stadium into a frenzy of red lights and smoke. On the track, non-enhanced superstar Fred Kerley dominates the 100m sprint through two dramatic false starts, taking to the big screen afterward to hilariously trash talk, telling them they need to "get on more of that stuff" if they want to beat him. We wrap up the night with a concert by The Killers, who flawlessly rattled off their highlight reel of their absolute greatest hits. Finally, we record a raw, sleep-deprived debrief from the airport gate before boarding our flight. We address a wave of angry comments accusing us of "promoting steroids" after a late night unboxing video, firmly setting the record straight: unlike the paid influencers on the trip, we completely self-funded this journey as independent media so we could speak truthfully.

    #243 - 42 Rules to Live Forever, Dan Fights a Bear, & Birthday Hangover

    Merch - https://nonmembersshop.com/ Happy National Wine Day! We are trying out a new podcast intro and struggling through this episode as Erin nurses a massive hangover after drinking a little too much at a surprise 50th birthday party at her sister's B&B. She also recaps the struggle of trying to leave the party while her 7-year-old decided to become a "party girl" and perform magic tricks with doorway streamers. We then dive into a heated rant about the disrespect of neighbors blasting bass music late at night when you have sleeping kids, and Erin reveals her passive aggressive revenge tactic: sending the kids outside early in the morning to aggressively ring their bicycle bells. In fitness news, Erin gives an exciting week six update on her "Pull-Up Revolution." She finally felt the right muscles activate, got her head to the bar, and used her newfound strength to casually lift a heavy shelving system into Dan's truck at Lowe's. We also review a brilliant new ASICS marketing campaign that shows "before and after" photos of runners taken just 15 minutes apart, highlighting that the mental sanity you get from a workout is the real transformation. For "Tea Time," we unpack the messy internet feud between a runner/musician named Zach and DJ Diplo. Diplo sparked massive outrage by claiming he no longer needs to pay human artists because he can just use AI, leading to a bizarre comment section war where Diplo punched down and insulted musicians as "degenerate alcoholics". We also debate a hilarious act of spite at a major PGA golf tournament in Philly, where a homeowner built a massive platform in their backyard just to peer over the privacy fence and watch the event with their friends. We also tease our upcoming trip to the Enhanced Games in Vegas. We get a terrifying update on the local black bear that has been destroying Erin's trash cans (and ripping off the metal pins). In pop culture, we review the 42 step daily routine of Bryan Johnson, longevity guy. Finally, we cover a disastrous Houston Astros 5K/10K where runners were backed up for over an hour just trying to cross the finish line on the field, and celebrate Canada hosting their very first National Women's Wheelchair Rugby Championship!

    #242 - 100-Mile DNF, Scientology Speedruns, Judging Cars on Vibes

    MERCH - https://nonmembersshop.com/ Happy National No Dirty Dishes Day! We kick off the episode by agreeing this holiday is literally impossible, especially in a house of five. Erin shares a controversial "Mother's Day Hot Take" comparing the forced fun and expectations to New Year's Eve but admits this year was a rare, peaceful success involving her favorite Whole Foods sourdough. Erin gives a highly anticipated update on her hydroponic garden, celebrating her incredibly flavorful homegrown salads despite the emotional trauma of executing her weaker sprouts. We also drop an urgent reminder that our merch preorder is officially closing this week, so secure your hoodies and mystery $15 trinkets while you can. Erin recaps her weekend of chaotic "side quests," including a girls' night that devolved into screaming about a frog while aggressively throwing non waterproof flameless candles into a pool. She also got roped into judging a local car show in the freezing rain despite knowing nothing about cars, ultimately picking the winners based purely on vibes and flippy headlights. We then dive into a hilarious niche internet trend: "Scientology Speedruns," where guys film themselves rushing into church buildings just to see how far they can get before the staff kicks them out. In sports and running news, we marvel at 23-year-old Sophia, who took a wrong turn at the Flying Pig Half and accidentally ran a full 3:30 marathon, and celebrate Rachel, who absolutely shattered the Cocodona 250 record and beat every man in the 253-mile field. We discuss an athlete suing Puma over career-ending spikes, the Eagles drafting a Nigerian player who has never played a snap of football, and rumors of LIV Golf running out of Saudi funding (which sparks a heated rant about how terrible AI search results have become). Plus, Mike successfully snipes an eBay auction for Mario cards live on air, and we officially declare we are done talking about the Alix Earle and Alex Cooper drama until something actually happens. We are then joined by fan-favorite runner Eamon for an honest interview about his recent DNF at a 100-mile race, discussing the brutal downhills, the wild self-talk swings, the humbling moment of getting his bib ripped off for missing a cutoff, and his immediate plan for redemption in October. Finally, we review a bizarre TikTok of an Eastern European family silently eating massive bowls of hard-boiled eggs and sausages, and wrap up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a group of friends who secretly booked out their buddy's entire Columbus food tour for his birthday.

    #241 - Dick’s Varsity Trip, Deceptive Fruit, & Savannah Bananas Concussion

    MERCH Pre-Order - https://nonmembersshop.com/ Happy National Eat What You Want Day! We kick off the episode by motivating everyone to stay consistent with their workouts (Erin is officially on week 5 of her pull up journey!) before diving into a highly specific, heated rant about deceptive grocery store produce bags, why are tangerines and limes sold in color matching mesh bags to hide the rotting fruit?! We also celebrate the official launch of our merch store (grab your koozies, hoodies, and mystery trinkets while you can!) and pop open a Recess Mood drink to calm down. Then, we get into the main event: Erin’s massive, multi-day recap of the Dick's Sporting Goods Varsity Team brand trip in Tampa. Event planning is officially a sport, proven by Erin walking into a hotel room stocked with a personalized cake, $500 in Stanley gear, and a daily wardrobe. Erin explains how she entered "survival mode" to become a mega extrovert, surviving a upscale carnival complete with a Ferris wheel, and an Adidas yacht party featuring custom Sambas, permanent jewelry, and a saxophone player jamming to Bad Bunny. She also chilled in a speakeasy movie theater in custom pajamas, and finally got to wear her sparkly Adidas tracksuit to a jaw dropping banquet featuring aerial yoga and a hidden 7 piece band. The physical toll of the trip was brutal, featuring a blazing hot "On" HIIT class with "no-nonsense Giovanni" (where Erin and the gym bros were secretly collapsing behind his back) and an insanely hard Pilates session with Molly Seidel's sister, Izzy. Erin also defends her "Grease Girl" status by refusing to wear the provided orange short shorts in the sun. Finally, we debut our highly anticipated on site interview with the Savannah Bananas player who famously face planted doing a backflip on live TV. He reveals the shocking behind-the-scenes details of the crash, the concussion, and the CNN producer's terrible reaction to the blood. We wrap up with a quick rant about the fever dream that is the Tampa airport and beg our listeners to prove to Mike that he isn't just broadcasting to an empty void.

    #240 - Brand Trip Panic, Looksmaxxing & The Eagles' Draft Heist

    Merch - https://nonmembersshop.com/ Happy National Respect for Chickens Day! We start the episode by unpacking Erin’s childhood trauma of being chased by chickens, give an exciting update on our official merch preorder launch, and debate why dogs love staring at random street trash like balls of aluminum foil. We also chat about Erin's recent insightful interview on the Outside podcast with Paddy O'Connell, share a highly "demotivational" running quote (it could be worse, you could have wet pants!), and Erin confesses her new shared obsession with playing late night Fortnite "duos" with Dan, while Mike talks up how great the Nintendo Switch 2 is. Next, Erin mentally prepares for her upcoming Dick's Sporting Goods brand trip to Florida. Between trying to decipher a "muted mustard" color palette and venting about the unfair gender double standards for looking "camera ready," the anxiety is real. We also reveal our new strategy of cold DMing creators like @ButteryPat to try and get invited to cooler events. In niche internet news, we take a deep, dark dive into the "looksmaxxing" trend, discussing the terrifying extremes some young men in the community are going to, from bone smashing their chins to allegedly smoking meth, just to achieve a hollowed out jawline. For "Erin's Tea Time," we unpack the messy passive aggressive feud between influencers Alix Earle and Alex Cooper, Brianna Chickenfry’s involvement, and the allegedly bizarre job interviews at the Unwell Network. We also drop a crucial PSA about why you should never leave a full water bottle in a hot car. In sports, we marvel at Zhang Ziyu, the 7'3" Chinese basketball player who can casually drop the ball into the hoop without jumping, and look ahead to her 2027 WNBA draft eligibility. We break down a chaotic NFL Draft moment where Howie Roseman and the Eagles executed a massive heist, trading up to steal Makai Lemon out from under the Steelers while he was literally on the phone with Pittsburgh. Finally, we wrap up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about UCLA's football coach reminding his players to learn the names of the janitors and support staff, proving everyone is an essential part of the team.
