YouTube workouts, the dumpster-fire buddy, and 'Call me Diesel'

A host reports on doing YouTube workout videos and finds the motivational dribble actually helpful, then gives his advice: skip the super-toned front row and befriend the slightly plumpy guy so you will not quit before he does. The bit moves through lady-led stretching, a hippie-dippie yoga guy, and a gym bench-press story where his wife refuses to slap his chest and yell 'Call me Diesel' in public. A discussion of pre-workout shakes, beta alanine itch, and beet juice follows, then an arm-wrestle anecdote turns into a reflection on owning your day instead of letting your day own you, with the Sparta challenge named as the model.
