The Great (Half) Marathon Scandal of 2024 - The Kinda Funny Podcast (Ep. 301)

[@madrocts]

Not to shit on Blessing, but it is wild to think you can "easily" place in a Tekken 8 tournament. The top level players are not just Tekken 8 players, they are top level placers in previous Tekken games as well, in a game series that has notoriously not changed character designs as drastically as other fighting games (i.e A Steve combo in Tekken 4 will look almost identical to a Steve combo in Tekken 8).

[@CharlieWacholz]

My answer for Blessing's question is Keith Richards. The Stones' music is in like every other movie, their discography is massive, and he's helped produce a TON of banger albums

[@furrybproductions]

We DEFINITELY had pull ups in NYC. The more I hear from Roger the more I believe he never lived in NYC 🤣

[@MelodicQuest]

Fun fact: Stephen Amell tried out American Ninja Warrior and despite the salmon ladder being past the halfway point of the course, he absolutely breezed through it. So yeah, Stephen Amell makes it look easy.

[@CompletelyInadequate]

why is tim in the thumbnail and why is bless so obsessed with olivia rodrigo lol

[@Pigeon_Patrol]

Never change Kev 39:22

[@Kevin-wc1yt]

This podcast has gone completely downhill over the years

[@oninjagaiden]

Scandal*

[@cameronthaijohnson]

Hearing running and race talks on this podcast after listening for 9 years and being a runner since high school (now 25 and competitive) is pretty wild! Should have a Kinda Funny meetup at a race! I'd go run a race in SF. I took some huge uphill Strava segments last time I was there but I imagine the races stay away from the nasty hills. Anyways, I'm training for like 70-71min half marathon and that's like sub-elite level and converts to like 2:26-2:28 for a full marathon. The Boston winner in 2:05 high is like 4:48/mi and I could only run that for like 2 miles at my fitness which takes years of quality training and at least a little talent. There isn't even any Americans that can run 2:05 right now. We have two Americans that have run 2:08 for this Olympic qualifying period and that's it. So yeah it's hard. Running that fast requires big training since they were young and a ton of talent and they can get there post-collegiately.

I love Donald Glover but when I think "smug" I picture him.

[@iCb0x]

Our gym teacher would tell us with pull-ups that if we couldn’t do a pull-up we couldn’t survive a shark attack. 😂 Just torturing us kids lol

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

The real answer to the final question of choose 1 is Walt Disney like Nick said....that way you get everything from Marvel and a huge content library down to ESPN archives/broadcasts.

[@dingus2k]

what is a scandle? like a scented candle?

[@fios4528]

"scandal"?

[@kingofzero]

How no one said Troy baker or Nolan north or Laura Bailey for games is wild to me. You literally get to play every game ever if you name one of them lol.

[@NF_Redux]

only one artist? right now i'd go with Trent Reznor, Saul Williams or Janelle Monae.

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Lol Also Mekiah Phiefer and Josh Hartnett deserve Oscars for O, classic.

[@pargatsinghlives]

When Mike came out I thought he was gonna have a bullshit answer but Lebron was a real solid one.

[@OR3OTHUG]

Gotta pick Troy Baker for games just so that I get a wide variety of

[@philsnook1391]

Roger needs to be fired immediately for that Gone Girl take. Not joking.

[@ChelseaFetch]

The workout Nick mentioned (with pull-ups, push-ups, and squats) sounds like a variation of Murph, which lots of people around the world do on Memorial Day. That workout is: 1 mile run, then 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats divided any way, then another 1 mile run. It's brutal but a great test. But there are also several variations of workouts with pull-ups, push-ups, squats since it's a pretty good well-rounded bodyweight workout. ("Cindy" and "Chelsea" are other variations)

[@Runaway-Reptar]

*Scandal

[@james.b.mcgill]

Your Donald Glover conversation had me thinking about J. Lo. While she's not ass talented as Donald Glover, it's still impressive that she started out first as a professional dancer, then she became a successful actress, and then she became a successful musical act. It's just a shame that as a singer she's not much of a performer given that she started as a professional dancer.

[@NF_Redux]

i will hear no slander of J. Lo in The Cell and Money Train.

[@Juggernaut-IV]

They really passed up the fact Mike is gonna get a medal and say he did the marathon

[@fraseralex1993]

Lol ok Tim just mentioned Spielberg nvm

[@bvick22]

Adam Sandler was the easy answer lol

[@piusdoe8984]

Botswana like Bull. Bu tswana 🎉

[@nobodyexceptme7794]

Thumbnail already hilarious

[@DoingOK]

I’d throw in Stan Lee, JJ Abrams, and Hans Zimmer as options

[@aweb_2u]

Awaken My Love grew on me hard. 6 months after it came out I would have said it was pretty good. Now there's multiple songs (Baby Boy, Zombies, Me and Your Mama) that are among my favorite songs of all time. It's definitely worth going back to and listening again.

[@RetroKidReviews]

You know the half marathon story is going south fast when Kevin’s apologizing to the guys out of the gate.

[@furrybproductions]

It's 1 million for first place at Capcom Cup. The 2 million is the overall prize pool.

[@MrJdog43]

If i only could consume 1 artist content it would be Bones, #TeamSesh

[@BrandonDNH2]

BTW the answer to this discussion is Jon Favreau

[@EveryTimeIDavid]

For the single artist thing : Mos Def

[@GeoffU]

Livin like a bug ain't easayyyyyy

[@RealAhab]

ooooh a juicy one!

[@fraseralex1993]

Jaime Foxx for sure is in the conversation. But if I had to pick anyone who’s credited it would be Spielberg. Movies alone and he’s been a producer on several television series as well

[@fraseralex1993]

The only drawback is not much going on in the music scene

[@Sirwaterdrums11]

Tim looking fly as always 😀

[@oncecursed1]

21:31 Salmon ladder is a bit different than pull ups, I can do a 6 step ladder and can do like 10-12 strict pull ups. Momentum is key!

[@MrEnyaws07]

Y'all gotta stop picking on Mike for everything he does. Man tries something that 80% of the office couldn't do and gets made fun of. He's a bundle of positivity and keeps the content fresh and exciting, don't take him for granted.

[@treeboyproductions]

It's not that deep. If your boy is talking smack about something he can do, and he can't do it, you're obligated to roast em.

[@furrybproductions]

​@@treeboyproductions1000 percent 🤣

[@Presto93]

Dudes a scapegoat for their insecurities. Also Donald glover does suck

[@momkeptmytoys]

Yoooo I just had eggs

[@knightwarfilms8923]

Currently sitting here eating eggs! 😂
