The opening to today’s show probably made you all go deaf . . . but that’s half the fun, right? Our guest Dave Rutherford from Frog Logic is on hand to make mayhem today, and XN can once again barely get a handle on the chaos.
Meanwhile, our old buddy Derek from The Revolution stops by to taunt Christian with a very unsightly donut.
Tech Producer Chris Villani finally has air conditioning and he’s wide awake and ready to go. Unfortunately he did not wear hair gel today and looks like a 9 year old boy . . . .
But somehow we manage to squeeze out the news...
The Loose News!
With a loose treatment of physique information
like it was current events,
and current events like it was physique information,
these are the physique stories inside today’s big stories
for the week ending May 19, 2008.
-
•HEY PROTEIN EATERS! TAINTED BEEF! E. Coli scare for beef shipped to eleven states . . . yeah, what’s new. But at least you get to learn about gooseneck and clods!
-
•Positive attitudes help burn fat! A study proves that having confidence in a program is more important than a weight-loss program itself. (Yeah, we sorta already knew this.)
-
•Next, our John Cena Report. Still nothing to report. And that was our John Cena report.
-
•Nintendo Wii Fit sends thousands of slackers running for the pot fields.
-
•BIG MOUTH LISTENER MAIL!
Where we talk about what you want to talk about. Here’s where our voice (or at least emails) gets heard on the show! Write us at info@thebiginside.com to sway the course of The Big Inside.

Our Big Mouth of the Week is a guy named Spike (yes, SPIKE) from Lafayette, Indiana. (That’s his pic with the red curtain and killer tan.) He sings our praises, and the praises of Evan Centopani. he also makes note of the fact that he will be competing in the NPC Junior Nationals in a few weeks, and wanted to plug himself . . . and potentially bid for a spot on the Big Deal interview!
In fact YOU TOO can become a guest on the show. Think you have a cool angle or funny take on fitness, training, diet or sports performance? Drop us a line at info@thebiginside.com and let us know -- maybe we’ll set an interview up!!!
Next, we take an email from long-time listener and old friend of the show, Barry from Boston. He tells us that he’s too scared to call in . . . and also pokes fun at XN’s constant tongue-tied flubbing, especially at the end of The Big Inside episode TBI-027.
Dave is so high energy he had to do the whole episode standing up! We touch on topics ranging from obesity to how children are being under-serviced by physical education programs, and also discuss what motivates people to work.
Froglogic™ is a motivational program developed by David B. Rutherford. David is a Former US Navy SEAL who served eight years in the Naval Special Warfare Community. During that time David had the chance to travel world in support of Freedom and Democracy.
And, just to punctuate the complete lack of professionalism, XN nearly drops an S-bomb.Meanwhile, we get an AWESOME conversation from Dave who has an endless amount of insight into building teams.
