Northeast Tennessee

episode 181: Guess who’s BACK!!

Northeast Tennessee Arrowhead (Indian Trail) Johnson City

It was the kind of morning where the air clung to your skin like a bad decision. Ten souls stumbled into the gloom, each carrying a heavy secret… and an even heavier cinder block. The roll call was straight from central casting:

Jester. PBS (yeah, that PBS). Jobs. Jake. Treble Maker. Woz. Zima. Zippo. Copy Machine. Gutterball.

Humidity: 97%. Visibility: Tarantino flashback montage.

This wasn’t your average Thursday.

THE THANG

PULP FRICTION

“Say ‘block swings’ again. I dare you.”

— Jules, probably

Scene 1: The Fog

Pre-Thang – The Glowing Briefcase

Four light posts. One path. Infinite pain.

Each PAX hit 10 block swings, dropped the coupon like a stolen suitcase, sprinted to the next post, ran back, reclaimed their burden, and carried it forward like it held the secrets to the Gold Watch.

Rinse. Repeat. Swear. Repeat again. Feet hit pavement like Tarantino dialogue—sharp, fast, and slightly unhinged.

Scene 3: The Thang – Uphill Both Ways

Cue the music. Not the heroic kind. Something surfy. Something… uncomfortable.

We mosied to the bottom of the hill—no one said a word. The kind of silence you get before someone pulls out a katana or starts quoting Ezekiel 25:17.

11s: Squats at the bottom. V-ups at the midpoint.

Each round: less innocence, more regret.

Then it got weird.

5 rounds descending:

  • 5 lunges per leg at the base
  • Sprint the hill like you were running from Zed
  • 10 Heels to Heaven up top

Woz started looking like a man trying to remember how many toes he still had. Every round, the lunges dropped, but the burn? Eternal.

Scene 4: The Redemption Arc

We mosied back to the flag, no one speaking—partially due to exhaustion, partially due to the overwhelming sense that something sacred had happened.

PBS, after a year-long sabbatical, returned like Vincent Vega stepping out of a bathroom—except this time, he didn’t get shot. He just crushed the gloom and reminded us why the classics never go out of style.
