He tells a honey-chugging lifter, "The old bitch finally died. She stole the throne anyway."

1. Not In My Box | The Fitness and Coaching Podcast episode 164 centers on “gas station cappuccino” and a batch of Reddit gym stories. 2. Dean hosts with Caitlin, who works in Kevin and Kiel’s marketing department and is also a weightlifter. 3. The episode asks who is “the asshole” in each Reddit gym situation and whether the stories are even real. 4. The first story involves a college lifter taking a squat at 305 pounds after a previous best of 295. 5. That lifter says he was trying to impress a cute girl from class, then shits his pants at the bottom of the squat. 6. The hosts talk through what should happen after a gym accident like that and whether re-racking the bar matters. 7. Another Reddit post describes a gym member who sees two novice lifters leave a flat bench loaded with plates in the wrong order. 8. The narrator walks over to the cable machine, calls the lifters back, and tells them to take the weights off and learn better gym etiquette. 9. Dean and Caitlin focus on the tone of that confrontation and on the weird satisfaction the narrator seems to get from correcting them. 10. A separate post features a man chugging a bottle of honey and later a gallon of milk at the gym. 11. The hosts get stuck on the reply, “The old bitch finally died. She stole the throne anyway,” after a comment about the queen. 12. Another story centers on a lifter who says, “I really hate attention seekers in the gym,” after seeing a man grunt, stroll around, and yell “Yeah, buddy! Ain’t nothing but a peanut.” 13. That same post includes a beginner benching while the loud lifter curls a barbell in front of him, which the hosts read as peak attention-seeking behavior. 14. One Reddit user says a stranger took a plate off their leg press while they were resting and then thanked them before stacking it on his own machine. 15. Dean and Caitlin describe that as rude, but they also note the poster’s anxiety and the way the whole interaction collapses into embarrassment. 16. Another story features 15-year-olds flexing in the mirror until someone tells them to stop because they are pissing him off. 17. A much bigger lifter then steps in, says it is fine, and flexes alongside them, which the hosts treat as the funniest social reset in the segment. 18. The episode stays loose and conversational, with Dean and Caitlin interrupting themselves, joking about hygiene, and reacting in real time to each Reddit post. 19. People who like gym etiquette debates and weight-room mishaps would probably enjoy it. 20. People looking for a polished coaching lesson or a structured training episode might skip it.
