1. slept in
2. will be appearing on NRA Radio this evening (at about 11:20 EST) to discuss my rebuttal piece to Saul Cornell’s constitutional interpretation argument.
3. just pulled a one hand deadlift of 245# on my first try ever (both left and right handed).
4. didn’t accidentally broadcast photos of my junk to the entire civilized world. At least, not while going by the name Weiner.
5. fish tacos!
There is something decidingly pathetic about photographing one’s own dick.
is there a link for the interview?
http://nranews.com/#/nranews
SiriusXM for live broadcast, I think.
Congrats, btw. That’s cool, Jeff.
About the fish tacos, I mean.
I wandered into a meeting I wasn’t supposed to go to and freaked out two project managers I worked with and my actual employment manager. (I got the meeting info by checking one of the PM’s calendars, because I needed some of the info being presented at the meeting… is that weird?) #winning
Fish tacos do sound good.
Very cool about the radio appearance. Not good to eat fish tacos while on air. People can hear you chewing.
Tried the one-hand deadlift with a fat gripz attached to the handle.
Fail.
The fatgripz kill me. I have a long way to go.
Fatgripz, meh. I have sprained ankle from, well, I really don’t know. I just woke up with it. Body fail. Again.
Cam Edwards is good people.
My highlight: did my “hard run” (lots of hills) at 9:48 per mile pace. 6.7 miles. Last year, that run – I’d be lucky if I paced 12 min miles. Some of those hill would reduce me to 13 min range.
Today,I hit 9:03 for mile three.
Which, is unimpressive for runner-runners. But not bad for me ;)
And, didn’t tweet my junk to anyone, but the day isn’t over and I’m drinking some wine now.
at the nra site there maybe a podcast of your interview in the future.
loading that site is like dead lifting a fat gripz.
so – what are the benefits of kettle balls?
And, does anyone have any experience with those adjustable hand weights? My husband wants to start doing p90 X but doesn’t really want to do it in front of people at the gym.
planted beans transplanted tomatoes hack the neighbors tree to chip for mulch and tweeted pics of my garbage cans.
On, one last bit Jeff may be interested in; I saw some guys at the gym attempting pull ups just using the … pin attachment things on the bar. Basically just grabbing a small bolt hanging down. sounded like something you would do.
Are we going to see an interview with Weiner’s weiner on PW anytime soon?
OH – NR – I gardened too. I attempted to transplant a rose bush that was just going way too crazy in my garden. It’s looking droopy now, but that’s just gonna happen.
/considers tweeting a picture of my bush
“but doesn’t really want to do it in front of people at the gym.”
such a prude;
next up weiner jokes
“Are we going to see an interview with Weiner’s weiner on PW anytime soon?”
sounds like a job for the armadillo
Yeah?
Well, I just got a shout-out from Duane on the Hewitt after-show because I surmised in a tweet that the music they play during commercials on the live feed is the theme from Due South.
Beat THAT, homey.
“will be appearing on NRA Radio…”
What!!! You thought you could slip in that radical subversive activity into your list without someone noticing?
Benefits? I dunno. They make it hard to walk.
And if you tweet a picture of ’em everybody’s gonna
whose they are.
Hey Abe,
Saw someone using your nam de plume in an LA Times article comments . Thought it might be you but he didn’t have your trademark edgy passive agressiveness ;)
Blockquote is the new boldface.
An interview of Weiner’s weiner. You know, I did once do an interview with Jeff Gannon’s(?) penis. So it isn’t out of the question.
Yeah, that’s a good grip feat. I don’t really like pullups. I have one of those free standing things that has a pullup/chinup bar and handles for dips, but it’s too rickety. I use it mostly for weighted dips.
It would be cool to one day be able to do rafter pullups — essentially, just grab a couple of rafter beams and pull yourself up. But that’s for much lighter guys, on the whole.
Things like kettle bells or clubs hit a lot of stabilizer muscles and tend to work you at different angles from standard weights. The only problem is, with standard kettle bells you have to buy lots of them because they come in fixed weights. I’ve seen kettlebell handles that allow you to add weights to make the “bell” but I’ve never used them. What I use now, though, is this — in fact, it’s what I was using for the one-hand deadlift — because it can load up to nearly 500lbs, is compact, and with a set of Olympic weight plates takes the place of a whole lot of kettle bells.
Re: those adjustable dumbbells. I bought a set of the Bowflex when I started P90X initially, but I took them back and went with standard dumbbells, instead. I found I was having trouble adjusting the weight for each different exercise and keeping up with the workout.
Yeah. There are a bunch of Abe Fromans out there, Danger. But I seem to be the only one who plays the sausage king as a vulgar and obnoxious wingnut.
Yea, they seemed rather tough to adjust.
there is a company that makes both adjustable hand weights AND adjustable kettle balls.
I think it would be easier to just buy the hand weights but my husband thinks it will take up too much room.
I just use the weights at the gym, so I don’t really care either way.
“I use it mostly for weighted dips.”
Jeff,
I find weighted dips to be an excellent spine adjuster.
Strap on a couple of 45s and POP POP POP sweet relief!!!
Abe,
This one was pretty far left. Initially I thought he was just anti-GOP establishment but after reading a few of his comments I knew I had discovered your evil twin brother.

That is a great comment.

I’ve been using that Teeter Hang Ups inversion table. My neck pain has been greatly reduced, and I feel like being upside down helps my hands heal quicker because I’m constantly rushing blood to them.
i think they are firing at the wrong target:

sarahleaks oh my
highlight of my day? hair cut. had a few inches chopped off,cause I couldn’t get it untangled without half a bottle of conditioner and my arms getting tired.
I gotta slow down when I read your posts. When I skimmed through this on my RSS reader, I thought it said you did a one hand dead lift of 245# of your junk. And I thought that you just had intellectual heft…
<clap!>
Whoa! Dude is a regular reader of pw?
Where’s my lipstick?
you didn’t mention weiner. shame.
Nice showing, Jeff, BTW. First the ‘lanche and now the radio?
Gettin’ the mojo back.
Great interview JeffG. A good bit of exposure but, you know, not in the wunder-Weiner way :)
Seriously though, I thought the host and you had a really good discussion and I hope that a lot of the audience members come here.
When the going gets weird, it turns out that the weird were correct all along.
sorry about @44 bad mix there. geez weiner lays landmines everywhere. then there’s ginger.
Re: #39,
I thought I despised these people as much as I could and then they show me my error.
Good show Jeff!
Weiner hires Dan Rather to track down the miscreants!

I have one of these:
What angle/timing and how often do you use yours?
i could be wrong, but reading wiki about jefferson davis, the impression is of political loner. franklin pierce though made jeffey:
“Pierce won the election and in 1853 made Davis his Secretary of War”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_Pierce
but you have to go to pierce page to find out that they’re dems.
oh and hawkeye pierce. lies, more lies and hollywierd lies.
Hope I came off okay. I was distracted by the 250# swings I’d just gotten done doing. They look something like this. Sets of 16 reps.
RECOGNIZE!
That was a really good segment. Also, relieved to know that Jeff doesn’t have one of those Baltimore accents that can wilt flowers.
I usually go 80, Dave, but sometimes I take the strap off and go fully vertical. I try to do it every night for about 5-7 minutes. I do a bit of rocking in it, as well.
I always found it interesting that true Ball-more-ese sounded very similar to the Philidelphia and South Jerz accent. I get to hear it a lot when visiting my folks in Ocean City, or when the wife and I attend Ravens games.
Baltimore=Balmer. Only=Ownee. Saturday=Sayerdee. Down at the ocean=DowneeOsheen.
That last one’s kind of like when DeNiro says Fuhgeddabowditt.
Danny DeVito did a great job adopting the Balmer accent in the movie “Tin Men”. Must be because he’s from Monmouth county.
i hope it doesn’t mess his hair:
Palin takes stand on Bunker Hill, fires libertarian volley at Romney
oh don’t miss this:

True, Bob. Some variant of that accent seems to run from like Trenton to Philly through Delaware and into (Baltimore and the eastern shore, at least) Maryland. Monmouth County not so much though. That’s the southern edge of suburban NYC.
The radio appearances was good. Hopefully it will draw more eyes here.
I didn’t realize that was suburban NYC Abe, thanks for the heads-up. He must just really be a good mimic.
I heard Balmerese for years, and can translate it freely, but can’t consistently speak it. Just like I’ll never be able to sound like a real New Yorker; at least according to my in-laws.
I don’t have a NY/NJ accent at all. I do notice that when I’m elsewhere it feels like I’m talking at twice the speed of other people though.
Did you go to school somewhere else Abe?
And the speed thing? Y’all do talk at least twice as fast as most others; maybe 5 times as fast as some of my relatives in the deep south :)
For undergrad I went to school in Bethlehem, Pennsyltucky. But those hicks don’t have much of an accent aside from the idiotic way that they inflect when asking questions.
Sounds like a very nice day, Jeff!
You go, Emma!
Congratulations on your personal best, Carin!
Unemployment is up today. Like Weiner’s wiener.
How’d it go? Is there a replay?
OT, but did anyone see this? Obama solicitor general: If you don’t like mandate, earn less money
My girlfriend in college was from Delaware, and she did talk twice as fast as anyone in the Midwest. Which, to hear her tell it, she had to put the brakes on really hard to slow it down that much.
Awesome punch line, Carin.
Jeff, if you’d like to try something a little arcane, I bought some 4lb weight balls and then taught myself how to juggle.
Added bonus, the balls are roughly 5″ in diameter.
Juggling 4lb weights works a lot of different areas.
I’ll be moving up to 6lb weights pretty soon.
In addition to Jeff’s interview, listen to this podcast of Adam Carolla with Andrew Breitbart if you get the chance. I had no idea Carolla was such a wingnut, but it’s very funny.
Okay, I finally got a chance to sit down with a gin and tonic and give this a listen.
Good interview. I think that new audience would have found that thought provoking.
