Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, guys, gals? After Show Army, the After Show
- 0:03Speaker 1: podcast is on. The Billy and Lisa show just ended,
- 0:07Speaker 1: and then I turned this mic on, and we get going.
- 0:10Speaker 1: It is Tuesday, September 1st, a brand new month, a
- 0:14Speaker 1: new beginnings, as they say, a new month. God, time
- 0:17Speaker 1: just goes quick. By the way, I have a birthday
- 0:19Speaker 1: in September, September 22nd. Mark it down. I want all
- 0:23Speaker 1: kinds of talkbacks on my birthday this year. Just kidding.
- 0:26Speaker 1: One would be nice. But I do love September. It
- 0:29Speaker 1: is fall. The changing of the seasons, it gets cooler.
- 0:32Speaker 1: The weather is perfect. So I've always been a big
- 0:34Speaker 1: fan of September. So here we go. Yesterday's podcast, I
- 0:39Speaker 1: don't know if I have to apologize for that thing
- 0:42Speaker 1: or what, but I did not listen to it, but
- 0:44Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it was wild. Had Billy, Ashley, and
- 0:47Speaker 1: Santi on, which is always fun. I feel like the
- 0:50Speaker 1: more people that come on the podcast, the crazier it gets.
- 0:52Speaker 1: I wish I could do that every day, but people
- 0:54Speaker 1: are busy and they're doing things. And I just like
- 0:57Speaker 1: to pull people in, to be honest with you. Today
- 1:00Speaker 1: is Tuesday. I have a class at 12, so I'm
- 1:02Speaker 1: going to kind of skate out of here a little
- 1:04Speaker 1: bit early to get my workout in and be done
- 1:11Speaker 1: with it for the day. Today is my son Abel's
- 1:13Speaker 1: last day of summer vacation, so I'm going to probably
- 1:16Speaker 1: do something with him. And then he has boxing tonight. Yeah,
- 1:20Speaker 1: it's a whole thing with the kids and sports. If
- 1:23Speaker 1: you're older and your kids are grown, you probably went
- 1:26Speaker 1: through this, kind of the sports days. He's been in
- 1:30Speaker 1: boxing and I signed him up for boxing at the
- 1:32Speaker 1: beginning of the summer because baseball ended and then there
- 1:35Speaker 1: was going to be a break before baseball came back
- 1:37Speaker 1: and he has travel baseball and recreational. So I put
- 1:41Speaker 1: him in boxing and he likes it. He doesn't love it.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I think he doesn't mind the workouts, but he doesn't
- 1:47Speaker 1: know anybody there. So it's kind of like he goes,
- 1:50Speaker 1: but some days he's like, I don't want to go,
- 1:51Speaker 1: but he still does. But now... We're going into baseball season.
- 1:56Speaker 1: He's going to have his regular rec baseball, so one game,
- 2:00Speaker 1: one practice a week, maybe two games a week. That
- 2:02Speaker 1: kicks off next week. But then he's also in travel baseball,
- 2:05Speaker 1: which really kicks off in January. But in the fall,
- 2:10Speaker 1: they offered this membership where you can pay, I think
- 2:13Speaker 1: it's like $ 40 a month, and you can go any
- 2:15Speaker 1: weekday and a weekend day. They have a brand new
- 2:19Speaker 1: facility with a gym and all kinds of baseball things,
- 2:22Speaker 1: batting cages, pitching stuff. And you're free to use the
- 2:26Speaker 1: gym and the facilities. And I thought to myself, man,
- 2:28Speaker 1: like baseball is his sport. So I think I'm switching
- 2:32Speaker 1: him from boxing to that. So instead of us going
- 2:34Speaker 1: to boxing, we'll go there. He loves baseball more than anything.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So I think he'll really like it. And also I
- 2:39Speaker 1: can train him there. You know, I haven't always been
- 2:44Speaker 1: into fitness before. A lot of you know my story.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You know, I've been in fitness probably for, I mean,
- 2:50Speaker 1: like 15 years now. But, you know, I didn't work
- 2:53Speaker 1: out my entire life up until then. I tried many
- 2:57Speaker 1: times and I just never did. And it takes time
- 3:00Speaker 1: to get into it. But I honestly believe like with
- 3:03Speaker 1: my whole heart that exercise, physical fitness is one of
- 3:10Speaker 1: the most important parts of life. That if you can
- 3:12Speaker 1: build the discipline to work out and go to the gym,
- 3:16Speaker 1: exercise in some way every day, or most days, it
- 3:20Speaker 1: will have a positive impact on your life. That if
- 3:22Speaker 1: you do hard things, and it's hard to explain that
- 3:24Speaker 1: to a nine-year-old, right? It sucks to go, but I'm like, Abel,
- 3:28Speaker 1: you know, you're doing something hard. You're doing something when
- 3:30Speaker 1: you don't want to do it, but you still show up,
- 3:32Speaker 1: you put the work in, and then you always feel
- 3:34Speaker 1: good when you're done. See, he doesn't understand that. And
- 3:37Speaker 1: I try to like, like really hit that home, hit
- 3:40Speaker 1: that home when we're done, when we're walking out, because
- 3:42Speaker 1: I work out too, right next to him. So when
- 3:45Speaker 1: we're walking out, he always is like happy. And I
- 3:47Speaker 1: said to him, Abel, see how you're happy right now?
- 3:49Speaker 1: Those are the endorphins from working out. Yes, it's hard,
- 3:52Speaker 1: but you did it. You got through it and you'll
- 3:54Speaker 1: never leave worse than when you came. But it's just
- 3:57Speaker 1: the getting there. And I'm not hard on him. I've
- 4:01Speaker 1: told him like two days a week is good, but
- 4:04Speaker 1: I'm not going to let him give up. That's the
- 4:06Speaker 1: biggest thing. And I was talking to my wife yesterday
- 4:08Speaker 1: about it. I'm like, I'm not going to teach him
- 4:10Speaker 1: that it's okay to give up on things. Now that
- 4:12Speaker 1: this came along with the baseball, I'm fine with switching
- 4:15Speaker 1: it as long as we don't just stop going because
- 4:18Speaker 1: he doesn't want to go. We don't give up on things.
- 4:21Speaker 1: So he's switching over to baseball. So it's good. But
- 4:23Speaker 1: in my mind, it's tough. Parenting is really a tough
- 4:27Speaker 1: thing because, you know, I said to Jen, this is
- 4:31Speaker 1: so important to me, you know, because I really, really
- 4:34Speaker 1: do believe that if I can get this into him early,
- 4:36Speaker 1: if I can instill this discipline in him early, this
- 4:38Speaker 1: love early, it will take him. To great places. I really,
- 4:44Speaker 1: really do. You know, I have a lot of regrets
- 4:47Speaker 1: in my life. And one of the biggest regrets that
- 4:49Speaker 1: I have is that I didn't start sooner. I started
- 4:50Speaker 1: when I did and it's fine. But that, you know,
- 4:53Speaker 1: when I was a kid, I remember the kids that
- 4:54Speaker 1: were athletes and that worked out. And I remember seeing
- 4:57Speaker 1: kids that would grow muscle and looked good. And you
- 5:00Speaker 1: know what? They like got all the girls. And I'm not,
- 5:02Speaker 1: I'm not saying that's why he should work out, but
- 5:04Speaker 1: as a kid, that's what I saw. And I, and
- 5:07Speaker 1: I thought to myself, man, if I just would have
- 5:08Speaker 1: started when I was young, When I was 14 or
- 5:10Speaker 1: 15 or 16, if I had started when I was
- 5:13Speaker 1: like 10 or 11, just basic exercise. I'm not talking
- 5:16Speaker 1: about like lifting weights. He's a kid. But just basic exercise,
- 5:20Speaker 1: look where I'd be now. And I remember when I
- 5:25Speaker 1: first started working out, losing weight, I would go to
- 5:28Speaker 1: the gym and it was this time of year. It
- 5:30Speaker 1: was September. And ask yourself, has this happened to you before?
- 5:34Speaker 1: Because it happens every year. September comes, right? We get
- 5:37Speaker 1: through September and then October starts. And then you're like,
- 5:40Speaker 1: Christmas is coming. And then before you know it, Christmas
- 5:43Speaker 1: is here. I'm telling you, October, November, December go very quick.
- 5:47Speaker 1: So I remember that year I started working out probably
- 5:49Speaker 1: around the summertime. But when it got to this time,
- 5:52Speaker 1: I had the thought, if I don't keep going, Christmas
- 5:56Speaker 1: is going to come. And I'm going to be like, wow,
- 5:58Speaker 1: if I just kept going, that would have went by
- 6:01Speaker 1: so quick. And so I did it. I stuck with it.
- 6:03Speaker 1: And what do you know? Christmas came and I had
- 6:05Speaker 1: stayed consistent through it all. So, you know, I don't
- 6:09Speaker 1: want him to look back and be like, you know, oh,
- 6:11Speaker 1: I should– like me. I should have started earlier. So
- 6:14Speaker 1: I'm just trying to like– I'm going easy on him.
- 6:16Speaker 1: I'm not like a tough, tough dad. I'm really not.
- 6:19Speaker 1: So if you're listening to this and you're thinking like
- 6:20Speaker 1: take it easy, Justin. I'm really not. I was asking
- 6:23Speaker 1: for two days a week for an hour and I
- 6:25Speaker 1: would take him, work out right next to him. He
- 6:28Speaker 1: could see me. That's another thing I was saying to Jen.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I just had this idea,
- 6:33Speaker 1: this expectation. in my head that he would see me
- 6:36Speaker 1: working out when he was working out and be inspired.
- 6:39Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that he isn't inspired, but it's
- 6:42Speaker 1: not like how I pictured it. You know, I pictured
- 6:44Speaker 1: him after a couple of weeks, a couple of months,
- 6:47Speaker 1: even that he would say, you know, I can't wait
- 6:49Speaker 1: to go and you can work out and I'll work
- 6:50Speaker 1: out too. That hasn't happened yet. You know, so I'm
- 6:54Speaker 1: kind of like, eh, you know, but he'll get there.
- 6:57Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll get there. But the good news is
- 6:59Speaker 1: we're going to go to this new facility and they
- 7:01Speaker 1: have the baseball and they also have a gym. So
- 7:02Speaker 1: I can strength train with him. I told him this
- 7:06Speaker 1: is what we're going to do. I'm going to teach you.
- 7:08Speaker 1: I'm going to work out with you. And I think
- 7:10Speaker 1: he likes that. He likes when I work out with
- 7:12Speaker 1: him for sure. Because even with the boxing, a lot
- 7:14Speaker 1: of days he'd be like, can we just work out
- 7:16Speaker 1: in the backyard? Because we've done that. We've done kind
- 7:18Speaker 1: of high rock style workouts, running and strength training in
- 7:21Speaker 1: the backyard. And I think that he really likes that.
- 7:24Speaker 1: So he likes to work out with me or his friends.
- 7:27Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. That's what's going on in
- 7:29Speaker 1: my world there. So yeah, he starts school tomorrow. My
- 7:32Speaker 1: daughter started school yesterday. She loved it, which was very good.
- 7:35Speaker 1: She had a tough summer because she transitioned out of
- 7:37Speaker 1: a class into another class with a brand new teacher
- 7:39Speaker 1: that I think she wasn't familiar with. She was great.
- 7:42Speaker 1: But a lot of her friends, especially her best friend,
- 7:44Speaker 1: was not in that class. So she had a really
- 7:46Speaker 1: hard time. So we have the new teacher and the
- 7:49Speaker 1: kids that she was used to. The good news is
- 7:51Speaker 1: she's in K-4 now and her friends are back, including
- 7:54Speaker 1: her best friend is back. So that's good. We were
- 7:58Speaker 1: very concerned about her crying about going to school because
- 8:00Speaker 1: it was a really, really tough summer. But she's not.
- 8:03Speaker 1: She's going and she's happy. So anyway, what's going on
- 8:06Speaker 1: with all of you? Anything good? Remember, you can always
- 8:08Speaker 1: leave a talk back for me on the after show.
- 8:10Speaker 1: I'd love to hear from you. Things going on in
- 8:12Speaker 1: your life. We're going into Labor Day weekend, having a
- 8:15Speaker 1: cookout on Sunday. My mom is bringing the boyfriend, the
- 8:18Speaker 1: new boyfriend, Tony, and Tony's daughter, I believe, is coming in.
- 8:23Speaker 1: She texted me this morning and asked if it was okay.
- 8:25Speaker 1: I said, of course. So I'll meet him and her,
- 8:29Speaker 1: and things are moving along fast for my mom. If
- 8:31Speaker 1: you missed it, she has a new boyfriend. It was
- 8:32Speaker 1: her first boyfriend when she was like 16 years old.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Fast forward 50 years, he knocked on her door. It
- 8:39Speaker 1: was kind of a chance encounter. They had a mutual friend.
- 8:43Speaker 1: He figured out where my mom lived, knocked on the
- 8:46Speaker 1: door and said, hey, I'm sorry for breaking your heart
- 8:49Speaker 1: 50 years ago. And they started talking, became friends, and
- 8:52Speaker 1: soon enough became lovers. And now here they are later
- 8:54Speaker 1: in life, boyfriend and girlfriend. And they're happy as can be.
- 8:58Speaker 1: So I'm very happy for my mom. So she's coming
- 9:00Speaker 1: with Tony. And, you know, all just our closest friends
- 9:03Speaker 1: are going to come. The pool, it'll be open, but
- 9:06Speaker 1: the water's kind of cold. I don't have a heater.
- 9:08Speaker 1: I don't make enough money for a heater, I feel like.
- 9:10Speaker 1: You've got to get the cover, the heater. And one
- 9:13Speaker 1: of these years, I will get a heater, but I
- 9:15Speaker 1: don't have one now. But it'll be fun. We'll be
- 9:17Speaker 1: hanging out in the backyard. So anyway, I'm off to class.
