2:11
uh hopefully sooner than later uh where
2:13
mr kyle smash will be bringing his own
2:16
episode on
2:17
unfortunately it is one of those
2:18
parenting things of just scheduling we
2:20
weren't just able to tie down for this
2:22
episode so hopefully you guys understand
2:25
and still enjoy the content we bring to
2:27
you
2:28
so what i'm gonna do is reach back into
2:30
the past a little bit and of course give
2:33
you a little bit of the solo action if
2:35
you will
2:36
if you remember some of the old episodes
2:38
from way back when
2:40
this is what i used to do on my own this
2:42
is why it was so frustrating for
2:44
a couple of those minisodes uh that
2:46
we've done but again we want to make
2:48
sure we bring you some type of content
2:50
some
2:51
information something to help you get
2:53
through the day get through the
2:55
parenting woes
2:57
or highs
2:58
whichever it may be for you hopefully
3:00
you you get through it in one piece and
3:02
everybody else along with you
3:04
but guys thank you very much a few
3:06
things really that i'm just gonna do on
3:08
this episode here
3:10
is first and foremost as any parent will
3:13
go through
3:15
another cycle of the sun for my oldest
3:19
as you know of logan who i you know sour
3:22
patch
3:23
my
3:24
one of my prides and joy i should say
3:26
he's
3:27
we don't play favorites in the in this
3:29
household for sure but my oldest logan
3:32
has his eighth birthday uh on the day
3:34
you'll be hearing this episode
3:36
so if you know him see him or want to
3:39
relay anything to him through myself
3:41
feel free to i wish him a happy happy
3:44
birthday he's a great kid we are so
3:46
fortunate to have him talk about being
3:49
just
3:50
lucky as your first child and yes you
3:54
know we we've been through it's a roller
3:56
coaster no matter what type of child you
3:58
have but we've been very very fortunate
4:00
for the type of child he is he has a for
4:03
an eight-year-old good head on his
4:05
shoulders
4:06
smart
4:07
a little bit almost too witty for his
4:09
own good but
4:10
what can i say they always say he comes
4:12
back seven times fold to the parent or
4:15
for whatever you were doing so i can't
4:16
really say much about that but guys
4:19
happy birthday to my boy logan
4:21
thankful that you're still here thankful
4:23
that we have so many more years to go as
4:25
well
4:26
and then the second thing that i i'm
4:29
sure
4:30
a lot of you may be doing not everybody
4:32
but
4:33
we want to be sure that the proper shout
4:36
out is given to all the mothers for this
4:38
weekend that's right it is mother's day
4:40
on sunday the that should be the 8th of
4:44
may
4:45
so guys remember whether it's a friend
4:47
your own mother
4:49
what your partner whatever it may be
4:51
remember there are so many great mothers
4:53
out there if it wasn't for the mothers
4:55
we wouldn't have the kids that we have
4:57
today
4:58
and there are so many great ones out
5:00
there and especially the ones that also
5:02
are running this game solo
5:05
for the way
5:06
they do it on their own so
5:09
strength to you
5:10
props to you we got your back
5:13
all this other mess that's going on what
5:14
can i say there's you know about the
5:16
politics guys so i don't even have to
5:18
say it if you're in the know you're in
5:20
the know and you know that
5:22
there are so many great choices that
5:23
were made to be able to celebrate
5:25
something like mother's day regardless
5:27
of being a hallmark holiday but that's a
5:29
different story
5:31
there's great people out there guys so
5:32
be sure you celebrate it the right way
5:35
everybody's different but
5:37
the the
5:38
the love is still there plenty of the
5:40
love
5:42
and what else can i say i mean
5:44
i don't really want to go on a heavy
5:46
diet tribe of things i believe kyle for
5:48
his episode uh once we get it up and
5:51
loaded is going to be
5:53
doing a great review of something that
5:55
will give some great
5:58
parenting
5:59
viewpoints
6:01
if you will from i wouldn't say
6:03
necessarily an unconventional source but
6:05
it's not coming from your usual standard
6:07
of
6:08
things of what you would think about
6:09
parenting but it's something him and i
6:10
have talked about before and he
6:12
definitely wanted to go ahead and lay
6:13
that out at this point he's a little
6:15
i it's from a show i mean not no
6:17
spoilers or anything because i want to
6:18
make sure he gets everything he has put
6:20
out to him and hopefully he still does
6:22
this if he sends me something else i
6:23
apologize
6:25
but guys he has a great way to that he's
6:27
wanted to talk about this and
6:29
it's even really fitting for
6:31
the mother day mother's day weekend
6:34
as well because it definitely involves a
6:37
a very very strong
6:39
character of a mother
6:40
uh and a father as well but the
6:43
again we're going with the holiday right
6:44
now talk so guys
6:47
hopefully everybody is taking care of
6:48
each other we really do appreciate
6:50
everything
6:51
i'm
6:52
even gonna leave it at that really here
6:54
i again i
6:56
i have so much trouble just running by
6:58
myself here
7:00
it's been a great week leading up to
7:03
a birthday
7:04
to a fun weekend i'm actually taking my
7:07
lovely wife up to new jersey this
7:09
weekend we're gonna go see the uh the
7:12
view of skew family with kevin smith
7:14
brian o'halloran um marilyn giallante if
7:18
i say that correctly i always feel bad
7:20
because i always feel like i'm gonna say
7:21
it wrong and i probably do
7:22
uh but the whole clerk's crew jeff
7:24
anderson everybody jmu's of course
7:28
we're gonna go up to jersey have some
7:29
fun there see some um not only the
7:32
the people from vue sku but also some
7:34
personal friends as well i and gonna get
7:37
a lovely trip away from the kids as for
7:40
my mother she gets a little bit extra
7:41
time with her grandkids and
7:44
i will make that up to her later because
7:46
i'm sure she'll be exhausted by the end
7:47
of the week and by the time we picked
7:49
him up sunday at one point
7:51
uh
7:52
and guys i mean that's that's really it
7:54
and there's heavy stuff going on but
7:56
remember to try to stay in the positive
7:59
keep the good times going as as
8:01
well as you can
8:03
like i said politically uh and a few
8:06
other things going on
8:07
there's a heavy burden and a lot going
8:10
on that we have to continue to
8:13
rally against
8:14
if you will uh
8:16
because again even though i'm just some
8:18
random schlub with a buddy of mine who
8:20
does this podcast
8:22
we still stand with so many of you on so
8:25
many views and things that
8:27
may not affect us or do not affect us
8:30
directly but we still give all the
8:32
support we can and all the love that we
8:34
can for this guys so just keep that in
8:36
mind
8:36
uh there are a lot happening uh we still
8:39
try to stay positive of course but
8:41
in order to stay positive unfortunately
8:43
we have to swing into the opposite of
8:45
that and be sure that we at least talk
8:47
about it we know that it's there
8:49
acknowledge the presence and what we
8:51
have to do to
8:53
be against it to to push it any
8:56
negativity outside of our lives as best
8:58
as we can guys so i'm giving you a super
9:01
short one here i just want to say
9:02
there's
9:03
love to all you guys i wish there was
9:05
more
9:06
i i just don't have a lot right now i
9:09
things are going great
9:11
uh
9:12
any of the big topics i i would rather
9:14
have my co-host with me
9:16
because it'll be easier to talk about
9:18
it's
9:19
me just rambling on and i've even gone
9:21
longer than kind of i was originally
9:23
thinking i was gonna do for this but you
9:24
know how i do that you know i'll say i'm
9:26
cutting it short and then add on an
9:28
extra five minutes or something like
9:29
that
9:30
but guys uh
9:32
i just want to say from
9:35
the geek fathers
9:37
me and of course as part of the gui
9:39
family happy mother's day
9:42
hopefully everyone has a great safe
9:45
weekend i mean we're going to have some
9:46
crazy weather apparently too so hold
9:48
tight for that as well but just remember
9:51
uh the main message of course is always
9:53
going to be we are one family we're one
9:56
tribe one community and that's what a
9:58
lot of this comes down to especially
10:01
with
10:02
those of not only us parents but those
10:04
of us who chose to be parents or who
10:06
chose not to be parents
10:08
but still continue to function as part
10:11
of our community
10:13
part of our families part of our friends
10:15
part of our partnerships and we give a
10:18
hundred percent support in that so guys
