The athletes/hobby joggers with jobs (real ones, not shoe store jokers) pay for this guy’s Medicaid, food stamps, etc.
It’s ridiculous too, bc this guy could have worked full time for a couple of years in tech, and then worked part time as a consultant to pay his FAIR SHARE. Make no mistake this is a lifestyle choice, not chasing a dream.
Who said I was on food stamps and medicaid? can you tell me where you got that info?
This lifestyle choice isn't negatively affecting anybody (I assume) so I am not bothered; good for him if it makes him happy; but this Bigger Stronger Faster scene was the first thing to pop into my mind.
Does anyone know what happened to this guy? I remember seeing him run at Grandma's back in June, but his Strava account has been dead and his social medias seem to have disappeared, or at least his @'s have changed and I can't find them. Curious how he ended up
What happened to Colby Mehmen, dude living in his van and chasing the OTQ..?!

Looks like it …
Superstition is big in sport and gambling. In some ways it drives our society at the levels of government and religion as well.
It's about buying in based on wishful thinking.
The van -living thing is a sign of commitment/belief-by-practice. But at least the van trip is harmless ritual.
Go for it and watch out for critters in the road, incl. 2 footed ones
He needs to be a man and get a job! So he can financially support himself. Its called accountability!!
Absolutely!!! 100% agree with you!
He did get a job. He works at Stryd as an engineer.

Accountability, I love how your telling me what I should do, when it’s obvious you didn’t read the article, as it states I had a job. And actually at the time the article released I was juggling three jobs at once.
Accountability, Why do you think I was living in a van? So I could financially support myself. It’s not about living in a van, it’s about having a good reason to.

You gave it a go. Good for you. We all only live once. I looked up your college track times. You were right there in line to run sub 2:20. I would probably have tried the something similar If I had your speed. Probably not the van but live to run for a couple of years.

Yes, if there is a joke here I absolutely do not see it. I suppose explaining the joke would be too much trouble?
They are referencing this SNL sketch:

So awesome how David Spade and Christina Applegate can't keep straight faces during this skit. Farley was such a funny guy.

Mehmen can be seen randomly up on Mags, usually pounding out some miles with Oscar Ponce. No one ever sees the van or any other car, though. Someone told me they saw this pair up there last Saturday...
Another person claimed they were both at the Village scarfing down the #2 plus bagel and cream cheese on the side the previous Tuesday but the staff all swears they've never seen these guys in there.

That was pretty freaking funny.
