FNGs: None
COUNT: 12
WARMUP:cbs music. 5 motivators. Lap around lot

THE THANG:

Each HIM drew a team and a seed. Divided up into 4 pods and headed to sub regional
Each HIM could reduce the burpees of each pod by naming either the nickname, Coach or player from his school
Spoiler: NCAA trivia is NOT the Pax’ bailiwick

Seeds 13-16. Denver
Scale the Rocky Mountain (baby Everest) and run down Route 66 to the next pod to bump the next group

Seeds 9-12. Providence. Like the Cloud, Providence is cold, smelly, weird. And can’t grow real grass
AMRAP of big bois, step ups, and flutters until bumped to

Seeds 5-8. Milwaukee..after running arm in arm like Laverne and Shirley to the PAV…the Pax picked a wheel of cheese (coupon) for an AMRAP of curls, table rows and derkins before being bumped to

Seeds 1-4. Lexington. The nicest region. Just like highly trained thoroughbreds we worked on legs with lunges and squats

MARY: Final Four. Trivia contest. First semi the low seed upset the top Seeds

Second semi- the 9-12 Seeds also pulled the upset

Final game- the winning trivia answer was blurted out by Sawdust….so our national champion is….the Texas Longhorns??? What in the name of Matthew McConnaughy is that??

ANNOUNCEMENTS: i might need a bracket intervention

COT:John 17: 14-16

COT:

Spoke about Trust as it relates to Leadership.

Can’t have leadership without Trust.

Unhealthy Trust – given too quickly. Oversharing. You have to do the same thing. If you don’t. You are bad.

Unhealthy distrust – no matter how much equity built. Never trust anyone. Chronic distrust cannot lead. People do not feel safe around people who do not trust them.

Healthy Trust – trust but verify. Benefit of the doubt. Give them the opportunity to build trust. Give 20% and let them build to 100%. Willing to give more if consistent.

3 components of trust:

1.) character – can I trust you with my wife, my life, and my wallet

2. Responsibilities/commitments – you do what you say you are going to do.

3.) care and compassion – no trust if you don’t care about people. Relationships is the glue that builds trust. All four generations respond well to respect.

Matlock (Bill Maddox) was kind enough to share the Q this morning as he and Gene Steratore bought Dick Vitale’s breakfast at Denny’s this morning in preparation for next week’s Bracket Q. Don’t get caught not knowing what Lipscpmb’s mascot is!

Great having Unibráu (Nick Robinson)and the legendary Abacus back out with us.

7 Motivators, some stretching, and we moseyed. We’re all bulletproof until 2035, thank you junk science, and then halfway through getting our shoulders blasted, our buddy Bob led us in some paper/rock/scissors. Bob’s a real one.

My goal was to channel my inner Double Wide and do some sprinting but all too soon I realized it’s Cinco (Scott McGuire) who is uncatchable and P3 who you can’t even see, he runs so far ahead. We have some impressive sprinters among us.

We wandered over to the cloud and your Q’s personal policy is to do whatever Cat Gut (Mike Davis) says. So we went all the way to the Dark Webb. It’s a long journey. I actually thought the Dark Webb would make even Hot Tub (John Muller) be out of breath but I heard him talking about hot tubs, which makes me think we need to have a Q where we can only mumblechatter about what we’re named after.

Some Pavalon work and back to the AO for the Friday main event (cashing out of course) and we were all ready for the weekend.
