Four bearded Kentucky dads that love to talk about food, family, faith, and sports! Conversations will be all over the place. Our goal is to create and save these memories for our children to listen to when they’re older.
We’re Back! After 9 Months…
Well… that took longer than expected. 😂
After a 9-month absence, Travis and I are finally back behind the microphones! In this episode, we catch up on everything that’s happened since we last hit record — and trust us, there’s plenty to talk about.
We dive into the pool woes, the workout woes, work, family, the ups and downs of everyday life, and all the random stuff that somehow becomes a conversation when Travis and I get together.
No fancy agenda. No deep preparation. Just two friends catching up, laughing at ourselves, and trying to figure out where the last nine months went.
If you’ve been wondering where we’ve been… this episode is the answer.
We’re back. Hopefully we can keep this going this time. 😆
Pool problems. Workout struggles. Life in general. And a whole lot of catching up.
Thanks for listening — and welcome back!
