Monsters In The Morning

MATCHING TSHIRTS ENERGY

·37 min·3 clips
Ryan Holm tries to match Onyx the One's warmup, which is his entire workout, using 20-pound weights while Onyx lifts 40s.
The episode opens with hosts Russ Rollins, Ryan Holm, and Savannah engaging in light banter about matching shirts and Ryan's decision to skip his Tuna Tim hat. Ryan reveals he woke up at 3 AM to work out with Onyx the One, the MWO champion, describing Onyx as ripped like a grizzly bear. He details the workout at a gym near Universal Studios, where Onyx's warmup involved lateral raises with 20-pound weights, which was Ryan's max, while Onyx used 40s. Ryan struggled through chest exercises, attempting to impress but realizing the disparity in strength. After the workout, his Apple Watch indicated his heart rate remained elevated during the drive back, highlighting the intensity. The conversation shifts to wrestling, with Russ mentioning that Leslie Gale from Magic 107 wants to wrestle Amber Nova, claiming self-defense skills from Pilates and horse riding. Amber is offended by the challenge, and the hosts debate whether Leslie could handle a scripted match or might snap into street fighting. They discuss cross-promotion and potential training at a wrestling school. Later, Russ talks about interviewing singer TG Shepard, who was friends with Elvis, and recommends the documentary 'Epic', which shows Elvis's drug issues backstage but flawless performances. The hosts compare this to other artists like Michael Jackson and discuss medication prescribed by doctors. The episode includes mentions of energy drinks, corn dogs for Savannah, and trivia calls, maintaining an interactive talk radio format with humor and personal anecdotes.
