Renaissance Man takes over (video/giveaway post).
By MizFit | June 15, 2009

He politely declined.
The compromise? Coming this week.
Welcome to five days of AlmostRenMan.
A week of MizFit Living Not Blogging.
The Outtakes:
The Tattoos (some of em anyway):
So.
Have you noticed the only advertisement up in herre as of late?
Have you noticed that MizFitOnline is newly powered by Ren Man’s dayjob creation Sonic Tap?
You can be entered to win a free playlist download from SonicTap for the lowlow price of a comment below.
On any of this random shit chickenbus.
Please to hit us all up in the comments.
And yeah.
If you name WHAT playlist you’d wanna win should the Random Number Generator smile benevolently upon you Im giving you two downloads I can convince the Ren Man of stuff that way.
USA only. (I know. Here’s hoping there’s a SonicTap ’splosion & they go international soon.)

Hey RenMan
So, warm tuna…I know cats who might eat that…
And hey, I see you workout at the same gym at MizFit, that one that also has a frozen foods section!
Good luck in here this week…
June 15th, 2009 at 2:57 am
Welcome Ren Man!! Love it!
June 15th, 2009 at 4:02 am
I love that you two seem able to laugh at yourselves!
Is that the Tornado at the grocery too??
June 15th, 2009 at 4:09 am
Wow.
I’m guessing you DON’T think Miz is crazy for her tattoos huh?
That’s a lot of ink!
June 15th, 2009 at 4:34 am
*waving* Hi Ren Man!
Lovin’ the Sonic Tap
June 15th, 2009 at 4:41 am
So funny.
Love the Ren Man’s tee shirt and am never coming to your house for dinner.
(Unless I get some of those oatmeal creme pies!!)
June 15th, 2009 at 4:43 am
Hi Miz and Ren Man!
What a great debut as a SpokesDude! Totally charismatic and adorable.
And wow–Sonic Tap is amazing! DRM free? All those tunes! The ability to preview?
I should be packing for a trip but found myself totally seduced by all the cool offerings. Will definitely be back when I have more time.
Turns out I am a “Glow” girl! Who knew Crabs liked to glow? But as perused the playlists I kept thinking… oh that’s a cool song! Oh, another good one! Another!
I predict great success for SonicTap!
June 15th, 2009 at 4:46 am
I’ll take my Pizza Kickbacks with Pepperoni….
Tornado looks like she’s calm….before the storm. Oooo-wee!
June 15th, 2009 at 5:06 am
Hi to Ren Man! Looking forward to your guest posts this week!
Sonic Tap looks awesome!
June 15th, 2009 at 5:20 am
I have to say I was laughing so hard while filming I almost had to stop.
Its hard for him living with me.

June 15th, 2009 at 5:24 am
Good morning to all Bumblin’ Banders. Thanks for the comments.
Lance - when we had dogs, they pretty much only begged for MY food!
Evan - are BOTH crazy with our tattoos. I got ANOTHER new one on Friday night that isn’t ready for display.
Bea - yeah, we don’t get a lot of dinner guests (or lunch, or breakfast, or snack time…)
Crabby - thanks for checking ST out. Who doesn’t love classics from the 70s and 80s???
June 15th, 2009 at 5:24 am
LOL Loved the little debbie bicep curls and pizza kickbacks LOL
June 15th, 2009 at 5:45 am
Running to work but wanted to watch the video before I did (Miz you’re one of the few sites I can’t watch @ the office!).
*waves to Ren Man*
Will be back to check out the Sonic Tap!
June 15th, 2009 at 5:56 am
Hi, Ren Man!!
Loved the video!! And the Little Debbie bicep curls cracked me right up — mostly because of the big grin!
Looking forward to the rest of the week!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:00 am
ooohhh…a whole week of renman? Now that is some treat, I am impressed with you sharing Miz! But..what is this? You are still responding to comments up there? I thought it was a whole week “living not blogging?” HA, you just can’t stay away from us - no problems, we are addicted to you just as much as you are of us!
Love the Sonictap company!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:04 am
You got him to do a whole week???
Go you MizFit.
Will he do a week at my blog too? LOL.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:24 am
ahaha love it! “I do not eat warm tuna!” Aw MizFit, so nice of you not to force Ren Man to eat warm tuna
I’m really looking forward to what MizterFit has to say this week! Oo Sonic Tap looks awesome! I’m really diggin’ the Active Rock Workout, Vol. 9! I love me some Disturbed when I’m tryin’ to get my work out on! 
June 15th, 2009 at 6:28 am
I really did wonder if you made everyone else eat as you do (I guess that’s really just Ren Man because you’ve said you do let the Tornado go to McD’s :))
will you get the whole week off?
Go on vay cay?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:28 am
Love the pizza kickbacks. Exercise while grocery shopping=awesome fun.
MizFit….really? Warm tuna? Not even a little salt and pepper? I’m thinking I’d prefer mine raw and cold to just warm out of the can.
So RenMan eats what he wants. What does he eat? What’s his favorite exercises besides lifting Little Debbies. (maybe he is working up to Zingers?)
The download I want? Definitely the Bootsy Collins mix. Nice.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:32 am
Love Ren Man!
Miz I was laughing too, I pictured you holding the camera and giggling while describing your warm tuna. Wow! and Ew! LOL
June 15th, 2009 at 6:33 am
Yeah he exaggerated.
Salt.
Pepper.
Does that make it any better?
June 15th, 2009 at 6:35 am
I have to say, RenMan is much less intimidating here than the last time I saw him…I believe demonstrating push ups or some such exercise. Then, I thought he was a tough guy, but now I can see what a teddy bear he is! Looking forward to this week of MizTer Fit posts!
Oh, and WARM TUNA????? EEWWWWW!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:37 am
ok miz, love ya but warm tuna? i don’t think so.
very entertaining for an early monday morning, thank you so much for getting my day started! love the grocery playout and love the art!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:52 am
I sure hope those were Renaissance Man’s tats, and not MizFits!
I was looking at Sonic Tap last night, and couldn’t figure out how much a premium membership cost and what it included.
And what fun to see RM doing some guest blogging. I can’t wait to hear what else he dishes on.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:52 am
Loved how the tuna video was followed by real food. I looked hard at those tattoos. Thought they were yours at first and thought to recommend that you get Venus or Lady Bic to sponsor the page… Obviously I need more coffee.
I wanna see him do a plank.
: )
June 15th, 2009 at 6:53 am
You guys are my new favorite couple!! My fave was, of course, the lil’ debbie bicep curls complete with running amok Tornado (that’s exactly how we roll at the store too!).
Am very interested to see how SonicTap works!
June 15th, 2009 at 6:56 am
One word for what you eat Miz: GAG.
Love the tattoos on HIM was a bit concerned when I thought those were your legs
June 15th, 2009 at 6:57 am
I couldn’t get the first video to work
But, it’s probably me…technology savvy is not my deal!!
Love the randomness. Then again my husband is ADHD. lol.
June 15th, 2009 at 6:59 am
LOL. Ok, it worked. Um, not sure about the warm tuna thing. I think I’ll borrow one of your OTHER food ideas
June 15th, 2009 at 7:01 am
Ren Man fan club in da howzzzz fo’ shizzy! Love it!
Mizzy, I always knew we were sistahs from another mistah…I HEART warm tuna too!
ST? I want Active Rock Workout Vol.4 please!
June 15th, 2009 at 7:02 am
Okay, first I think I’m in love with RenMan because, wow - what a hunk!
and second, my heart just burst with pride because you have Oklahoma breakdown on SonicTap!! My poor little state gets such a bad rap, so it’s nice to see someone actually celebrating it in some way - THANK YOU! 
June 15th, 2009 at 7:05 am
YAY Fitarella!!
In tuna love,
Miz
June 15th, 2009 at 7:06 am
do people look at you strange when you start exercising in the grocery store?? i know it’s not the first time
and warm tuna??? oh miz…
June 15th, 2009 at 7:07 am
Your TATS are a bajillion times better than Ren mans.
But he is quite amusing. We went to the grocery store this morning to try out the biceps curls and triceps presses ourselves and generated a lot of laughs from the other patrons.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:09 am
Sure wish I had sound on my laptop - would love to hear what went with those vids! Vee at http://www.veegettinghealthy.blogspot.com
June 15th, 2009 at 7:27 am
hehe–LOVE the LD curls!
Hmmm. . . I think the Pump vol. 13 playlist looks especially groovy. Actually, all of the Pump playlists look good.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:33 am
Great videos. So this month gives me an excuse to pester BK (who does eat a lot of what I eat) to take better care of himself.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:43 am
Too funny! But warm tuna? Not too sure about that.
I am loving the Classic Rock workout, Vol. 3. All of those classic rock playlists are awesome, though.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:45 am
Great videos! Thanks for stepping in this week RenMan!
I think I would like the Zen play list.
I would love, love to see jazz mixes available. There aren’t many out there (or classical either).
June 15th, 2009 at 7:55 am
So glad to see I’m not the only one who was temporarily confused about the tattoos. Had to play it twice because I was all, “dang, those look like a man’s legs.”
June 15th, 2009 at 8:01 am
I almost spit out my coffee when I saw that tattoo video.
I’d seen your tweets, Miz, about not shaving the leg while you were being tattooed and I thought SHE WASN’T KIDDING!!
Then I figured it all out.
I used to be an itunes fan but lately my library keeps getting all f*cked up.
I’d love to win this!
June 15th, 2009 at 8:03 am
LAUGHING HARD at the fact any of you thought those were my legs.
to answer your questions:
NO (Im not shaving the leg much. patches as I heal).
NO (Im not that hairy :))
NO (The Ren Man isnt 100% taking over. Someone needs to bring home the bacon, errr, Morningstar Farm faux sausage patties.)
Any of you search for MIZFIT at sonictap?
YEP.
Got my own page up in therre…
June 15th, 2009 at 8:25 am
SonicTap: I liked all the Classic Rock Workouts; looked mostly at vol. 1. I’ll go back an check it out more thoroughly later. Great idea!
MizFit: Love meeting your family.
Cammi99
June 15th, 2009 at 8:27 am
Ok - i’m not sure if i’m more disturbed that so many people think my wife (MizFit’s) legs are that BIG AND MANLY or that so many people think my leg’s are SLENDER AND FEMININE. Either way, i’m doing squats every day for the rest of my life…
June 15th, 2009 at 8:28 am
Funny stuff. All of it. The warm tuna thing though? Almost made me throw up a little.
I’m just thinking I’m glad I’ll have no problem identifying you two when we finally meet in person. As long as you’re not wearing pants.
June 15th, 2009 at 8:30 am
Lori - working on more Jazz. Just found a great jazz programmer out of Los Angeles to help out. His stuff should be up soon!
June 15th, 2009 at 8:37 am
The first thing I saw when I clicked to the website were the words “grilled cheese”. Tasty.
Ren Man, you’re a good sport! Do you usually read this blog/comments when you’re not making a cameo appearance? (ie. do you know the Bumbling Band as intimately as we know of you? :)).
June 15th, 2009 at 8:58 am
I wondered just what Sagan asked too!
Why am I so curious if MizFit talks about us at home or if Ren Man has no idea what she writes about
The tuna thing? If that’s the KEY to your arms I’m in.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:00 am
No worries then, Melany. No worries. xo xo, Pantless McGee.
(And Im with you Ren Man. All brings to mind the MAN HANDS episode of Seinfeld in NOT a good way :))
June 15th, 2009 at 9:17 am
Was starting to wonder if it’s true that the longing you live with someone the more you start to look/act like them. Glad to know they weren’t Mizfits legs!!
June 15th, 2009 at 9:18 am
Don’t you mean ‘bring home the tuna’?
I can bring home the tuna (da da da da)
Nuke it up in a bowl (da da da da)
And never never never eat bad carbs because that’s how I roll…
June 15th, 2009 at 9:36 am
Nice to see Renaissance Man here! So does he really eat Little Debbie cakes & frozen pizza?
Warm tuna….hmmm….I love tuna & never tried it that way. Just might try it out
June 15th, 2009 at 9:50 am
Love the videos (2nd one didn’t work for me, says invalid parameters). Awesome tatoos! Nice to see you Ren Man.
Sonic Tap looks cool and I like the 70’s and 80’s workout volume 1. Fun music!
June 15th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I really enjoy that! You two are a great couple! Love the T-Shirt!
June 15th, 2009 at 9:57 am
OMIGAWD - I love Ren Man!
You seriously are the cutest. couple. EVER.
June 15th, 2009 at 9:57 am
I mean enjoyED!
June 15th, 2009 at 10:13 am
Warm tuna??? Ewwwww!!! Hey Ren Man - it’s so nice to see you here!
June 15th, 2009 at 10:16 am
Stacy & Sagan - yes, MizFit talks about you guys all the time.
June 15th, 2009 at 10:40 am
Ok, scratch that, I want the STs Mizfit Weight Training Vol.1…anything with Ludacris, Nas, DMX & Jay-Z gets my vote!
June 15th, 2009 at 10:42 am
crap, now I’m torn! I want Got Beef? vol 2!!!!!
June 15th, 2009 at 11:18 am
I saw the Sonic Tap thing and was curious. But not curious enough to click the link. My loss, as usual. I’m liking the 70s and 80s workout mixes so far.
I’m curious about those Little Debbie bicep curls. I did those for YEARS and never lost a pound. Must’ve had incorrect form.
June 15th, 2009 at 11:22 am
Giggling like a little school girl. Ren Man is a cutie. I want the play out mix, of course!
June 15th, 2009 at 12:01 pm
Fitarella - you have awesome musical tastes! I’ll get MizFit to post her picture with Luda from last year’s Sonic Tap party.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Yay, Ren Man!!!!!
Any workout that uses food is MY KINDA WORKOUT!!!!!
And, um, warm tuna?
OK, to each her own. Who am I to judge? I once lived on ramen and peanut butter for a month.
June 15th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Oh and MizFit — to address your ‘frick’n’ love for my bracelet — it’s Lucky brand, from Macy’s, a gift from Heman boyfriend
June 15th, 2009 at 12:43 pm
FINALLY! I’ve figured it out! well, the joke’s on me! I didn’t know the Little Debbie trick only works on triceps. All these years I’ve been doing bicep curls with the Little Deb, and poppin’ one in at the end of the set! I was wondering why I had trouble losing the last 50!
You know, the 70’s and 80’s suit my aged workout, but something with the word MEAT in the title is strangely appealing,
June 15th, 2009 at 12:56 pm
Bring the Sonic Tap to Canada…it looks very cool.
Nice videos - mmmm…warm tuna…:)
June 15th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
MizFit, you know I want your running playlist!
Although I’m eyeing “Rick James B**CH” for Mr. TFH.
As for the warm tuna– well, that’s better than cold, out of the can, right? Personally, I find it too dry w/out a little olive oil, though.
Looking forward to RenManWeek!
June 15th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I love the perfect workout music. I sucketh at creating playlists. I married the perfect man for me.
On a different note I let the Toddler watch the video and she keeps asking: WHO IS MIZFIT? WHO IS MIZFIT?!
June 15th, 2009 at 1:46 pm
You know I still want more dirt from the Ren Man
Are you really always this chipper?
June 15th, 2009 at 3:31 pm
loving the giveaway!
June 15th, 2009 at 3:32 pm
I like the running vol. 1 & yoga vol. 1
Little Debbie, Little Debbie!
June 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
ii love yoga one!
June 15th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
Whose legs are those? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?.
Using the computer at the library totally lacks in quality. I’m on a stupid time. AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
I’m getting lots done at home, though.
~~~sigh~~~
I miss you.
June 15th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
BACK ATCHA Linda.
Swung by this am.
Didnt want you to think I was a stalker
See you in Chicago in July?
June 15th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Hahaha I loved it! Welcome Ren Man and hope to see more of ya. *heads over to SonicTap now…*
June 15th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Way too funny! Loved seeing your hubby & all his tattoos! He looked pretty cool there in the grocery store!
I could not figure out how to find the playlists on SonicTap so.. well, it is me & I am not great at this medium!!!!
Had trouble all day getting here so not sure if it is me or your new “newly powered”. Probably me!
cant help you with SonicTap but it was freakin BLUE HOST today having problems. Love my hostingNOT.
June 15th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I want the Tornado to do a video now.
That would be so funny.
(Ok, I’m tired today)
Glad you made it a family affair.
Off to check out the tunes!
June 15th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
I love RenMan!!! (well I mean not as much as you do lol)
I’m loving the little debbie curls… I used to do that but mine would mysteriously enter my mouth… strange… but you know that’s a thing of the past!
Warm tuna- ewwwwwwwwwww
I wanted to pick a playlist but frankly I couldn’t choose between yoga and running. *sigh*
June 15th, 2009 at 5:41 pm
ROFL.. warm tuna..
You allow “Little Debbie’s ” in your house?
When I first came to the US, I was devouring so many packs of Lilttle Debbie’s brownies.. they were cheap for a graduate student’s budget and I had just discovered brownies.
Running vol.1
June 15th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
i like Mr. MizFit’s mustachio
June 15th, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Ah.. I just figured out that there is more than Miz’s playlist at Sonictap. I also sucketh at making “playlists”, but I simply cannot run iwth anyhting other than CArdiocoach. I keep trying to run to other music, but I cannot.. I just don’t enjoy steady state…
June 15th, 2009 at 7:00 pm
I am sorry but I am looking for a post in which you laid out your daily diet, or what you eat in a day. I found it once and lost it. Do you know where I can find that post MizFit? Could your email it to me???
June 15th, 2009 at 7:01 pm
Ren Man,
So nice to finally see your face. You do a very good impersonation of your wife.
Warm tuna, huh? Nah, stick with the Barney Butter.
June 15th, 2009 at 7:10 pm
Dang, my computer is being all screwy so I can’t watch the videos. But it looks like your husband is as nutsy in the grocery store as you are. What a perfect couple!
I don’t know what’s so weird about warm tuna; haven’t any of you people ever had tuna melt sandwiches before?
http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,tuna_melt_sandwich,FF.html
June 15th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
OK I had to come back and ask if Ren Man is channeling Stevie Wonder? Love, love, LOVE, the side to side head movement! The best.
xo Miz!
Great video Ren!
June 15th, 2009 at 8:36 pm
Little Debby Bicep curls! I almost fell off my chair laughing!
June 15th, 2009 at 11:43 pm
throw a tomato slice on top with salt and pepper and I’m in!
I like the classic rock workouts.
June 16th, 2009 at 4:36 am
Oh my gosh- this was HILARIOUS. I love the I’m Present make shift t shirt and the giggling in the background. I want to know more about his workout routine!
June 16th, 2009 at 6:23 am
Awww, I wanna come shopping with you guys
June 16th, 2009 at 8:31 am
Nice to finally see the RenMan after hearing so much about him. But that warm tuna? NO.
(says the gal who eats steamed greens for lunch almost every day).
And.. your grocery store must LOVE it when you two show up. But it looks so much nicer than mine.
Started checkin out ST - haven’t yet found the track that really speaks to me…
June 16th, 2009 at 9:51 am
I would definitely go with the Best Road Trip playlist.
Love me some Allman’s!
Happiness Awaits
June 16th, 2009 at 10:25 am
I especially like the mustache!
June 16th, 2009 at 10:54 am
That was so much fun to watch! Loved “meeting” the Ren Man :-).
June 16th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Oh gosh, I laughed so hard on that first video. I know someone has to eat warm tuna but bleh!
June 16th, 2009 at 1:15 pm
Welcome Ren Man! Woo!
June 16th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
hahaha - Ren Man is hilarious!!! I love the presentation of it all - esp. the warm tuna.
June 17th, 2009 at 9:24 am
RENMAN!! YOU’RE AWESOME. I’m likin’ the grocery store strength training plan. I’d have to bicep curl lil debbie about a million times to burn off the calories consumed. Love the ink…gorgeous!! Don’t be such a stranger RenMan.
June 20th, 2009 at 11:24 am
Wow, Bass Line:Bootsy Collins!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooo hooo!!! I want some! Go SonicTap Go!
