The Q had a whole theme to the workout where we focused on the numbers 17 and 76 so you’ll see that sprinkled throughout the Thang. The Q’s thang title was taxation without reps and he was unsure if the PAX would revolt and take over by the end of it based on the theme. Maybe they earned their Liberty by the end. Maybe they got representation in name-o-rama. The Q only had so much creativity for coming up with the theme. The rest is up to the PAX.
