Watching NFL games and seeing just how bad the referees are at their job makes a compelling argument for getting rid of them altogether and using AI instead. Let’s remove all doubt and use artificial intelligence. No more league favorites getting special treatment.

The first of the year always finds the gyms / fitness centers packed with resolution hopefuls. It can be a little stressful, please be patient and kind. The goal is to make people comfortable and encourage everyone to enjoy a good workout. We hope that a few of you are still with us in the future

It’s almost tax season, please allow me to warn you from using a product that sounds like Fubo Fax. The software will erroneously enter tax credits that you can’t use. And before you accuse me of making the error, please note that in order to refile my return - I had manually force the system.

As a veteran who served with women I’m always amazed at men who can’t comprehend the idea of women warriors. Please, consider picking up a good history book/podcast (try Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History). Just listed to Dan talking about Olga of Kiev and Ethelfled (spelling?). Or my spouse who’s evil.

I got to sit in w/ my spouse for her medical appointment. Her request. Can I just say that there is a huge room for improvement in women’s health. The lack of options is stark. Plus, listening to her and others discuss experiences is so disheartening. I’m not a pharma CEO, but let’s do some R&D.

Fall weather is the best. It’s been highs in the 70’s lows in the 50’s at night. (H: 21-25 / L: 10-15 for those using Celsius). Perfect weather for a morning run and an afternoon walk through the park. Plus, there’s the getting ready for Halloween.

A lot of people have said: You don’t lose weight by working out. You lose weight by eating right. But that’s the fun part; it’s trying new recipes. Enjoying the tastes more, and feeling better after eating. Let’s be positive about this.

Oh no!!!! The woman who thinks I’m a good idea / poor unfortunate soul (can you hear Ursula singing). She’s come to the conclusion that we should run a half marathon together. Don’t get me wrong - I like to run. But a half marathon? Can’t I just sleep in.

If you see a woman out for a run leave her the Fuck Alone. My daughter had to go and purchase some pepper spray because creepy bastards turn around after passing her and try to give her a ride home’. WTF. Leave people alone. As for me-yes I will knee cap your ass if there is another instance.

Ran this morning and I stopped at the clinical labs and had them take my blood for testing. I just wanted to toss out a reminder to get your bloodwork done. My thyroid appears to be slacking so I will probably have to take some medication for a bit. Hopefully it’ll help me with my energy levels.

First run back from jamming my knee and pulling the hamstring muscles as a result. It was a very slow 5K but golly does it feel good to put that in the books.

During a Father’s Day themed radio show: what’s your dad’s favorite (band, movie, color, vehicle…) my daughters(2): I don’t know. What’s your dad’s go to drink at the bar. Daughter’s-oh that’s easy rum and diet soda. I allegedly quit drinking 9 years ago. Dad Sigh.

Hey gang, just a warning to everyone to check your sales receipts when you’re done. I was at a store that rhymes with MallMart and their self checkouts added an extra random item to our purchases. We caught it and deleted it. Nothing that we purchased rang up with the description-suspicious AF.

If you go for a run - you’re a runner. Times and distances don’t matter. You’re a runner. Anyone who doesn’t understand that is just trying to make you feel bad.

Why is it people say “Happy wife / Happy life”. Then turn around and tell men to “man up” or “grow some balls”? First of all it’s sexist and feels like what you’re really saying is - either you’re a door mat to your wife’s whims or you’re a misogynistic a-hole. Let’s try being partners instead.

Do people understand how challenging it is to get up in the morning and work out? I’m not talking about getting up and then waking up maybe with your favorite caffeine delivery system. I’m talking about getting up and working out before the sun rises and before your brain realizes what’s going on.

I’m tired of seeing 20 year old fitness influencers. Or worse - some ancient gym bro who is trying to get me to buy something. I am interested in hearing about your workouts and experiences so feel free to hit me up. Otherwise, have an excellent day and “Party On Dude”.
