Almost Brothers Podcast
Savoring the Small Steps to Personal Fulfillment
Have you ever wondered what a pork steak cologne might smell like? Our latest episode takes you on a humorous journey through the start of 2025, touching on all things lighthearted, from this peculiar scent idea to the universal challenge of remembering to write the new year on your documents. Join us as we chat about our personal goals—whether it's getting into better shape or launching a fun church-wide weight loss challenge. Along the way, we share some laughs, emphasize the importance of personal growth, and even ponder the joys of catching a Red Sox game.
As we set our sights on wellness and holding each other accountable, our conversation meanders through stories of escaping to warmer climates like West Palm Beach and Destin, especially when the northern winds blow cold. Each of us takes on a unique challenge, from finishing an album to embracing consistent self-care. We underscore the need for realistic goal-setting, sharing how small, steady steps can lead to meaningful change. With no extreme measures necessary, we find joy in the journey and encourage you to do the same.
Our chat rounds out with exploring the secrets of longevity, nurturing relationships, and achieving fitness goals as we age, inspired by icons like The Rock and Ronnie Coleman. We ponder balancing responsibilities with the idea of youth babysitting events, offering more opportunities for couple activities. Topping it all off, we share a heartfelt message of gratitude to our listeners, appreciating your support and encouraging you to spread the joy of the Almost Brothers podcast. Thank you for being part of our community and sharing your journey with us.

Oh, it was mike, trevillian yeah, he called me big rich. I was like that sounded weird.

Speaker 1:So yeah, I like that. I like that. Imagine a church event. At the end, and you are the biggest loser am I happy with that?
Speaker 2:I think so, but I would be thrilled with that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah heck, yeah, yeah, that that that me me as well. I want to get in a better shape this year for sure. I'm getting older, pushing 40, so yeah, it was at that lock-in man man, I was like man, it was so fun.

Speaker 1:Oh, I'm a strategist.
Speaker 2:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:I heard it all.
Speaker 2:Can't even remember the date, but he's a strategist, that's so funny.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, but that's definitely one of mine.
Speaker 2:I want to get in better, and me and Jamie talked about doing it together, so yeah, me and Jennifer have talked about we've got to get our budget in line this year.
Speaker 3:That's a big one for us too. We want to save up.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm so tired of not having it's not even about having money.
Speaker 1:It's about having security, the stress of not having money.
Speaker 2:You go get a pizza and it's like, well, crap, now I can't have gas the rest of the week. Oh gosh, it's life decisions right there, man so tired of it yeah, that's exhausting, that's an exhausting feeling it is.
Speaker 3:That's one of ours as well. I know we talked about I want to spend more time with jamie and the kids on like new things, right, you know we used to kind of every year do somewhat the same thing, like we're on the same vacation, which I love that, so I love tradition stuff like that.
Speaker 2:I know you do. But I think we're going to try to do some new stuff Going to a Red Sox game Burger at every restaurant.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you got that for Christmas, didn't you?
Speaker 3:Yeah, september, from your awesome wife.
Speaker 2:Yeah, baby. Oh, she showed me that and I was like, oh, it's over I'm so excited he was trying to get me to tell him what it was too that's not true. That's not true he's like, so should I get her more? That I did ask. I was like.
Speaker 3:I was like here's what I got her. Do I need to keep going? Yeah, you might want to keep going, but yeah, I got a countdown on my phone the days to what? To the socks game, oh 254 days next christmas oh yeah, that too I told her. I told her, I said only 364 days left till christmas, we gotta get started.
Speaker 1:Yeah that sounds like jennifer, like the last couple years I've been thinking about that because, like we do christmas shopping, pretty like we finished christmas shopping the week before christmas yeah and I'm like man, my wallet's hurting, yeah, and each year I'm like, when you just like once a once a month, whoever, because we I mean now 12, 15 or so people we buy gifts for like we each month one person?
Speaker 3:yeah, that's what I was gonna ask how many people y'all bought for? Because you you can only find like good deals. Yeah, on, you know christmas time, so it's like you know, okay, I'm gonna find some stuff then, but yeah, trying to get small stuff throughout the year yeah, it's, and it's hard to when you have a lot of a lot of friends and a lot of family, like we went to four christmases right, there's all on the same day.
Speaker 1:And that wasn't all of them that's a whole movie and that was I know, and that wasn't all the christmases we had to go to.
Speaker 2:Yeah I understand completely which we did um at my, my mom's and her dad's. We did the dirty santa thing you know, it's not as financially taxing I don't get it.
Speaker 3:I know you don't because you're weird, but it's fun okay, let's waste money on presents that we don't get it. I know you don't because you're weird, it's fun. Like, hey, let's waste money on presents that we don't know who anybody's going to get or what's going to.
Speaker 2:It's better to do that than to waste money buying each and every person a present.
Speaker 1:It's fun. One of the presents we did for Dirty Salad Draw names. One of the presents we did was Forrest Gump socks with a box of chocolates.
Speaker 3:Life is like a box of chocolates. Who got it, do you know? I remember when y'all bought the socks.
Speaker 1:That was pretty good, but every time they opened I was like life is like a box of socks. It says life is like a box of chocolates.
Speaker 2:Wow.
Speaker 1:You can hear her violently shaking her head in disappointment.
Speaker 3:You could hear the. You hear the brain rattling, that's funny.

Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 3:I don't know, it's Cola Pensacola Florida.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Whereas the other side it's like Miami and all that it's like the spring break and all that stuff that I have zero interest in being a part of.
Speaker 1:My friend down there is saying there's a lot of retired people in his area in this Palm Beach.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's a, because nobody else can afford to live there.
Speaker 3:Well, and it's like no state tax, so a lot of people retire there.
Speaker 1:Fantastic. That's what's up.
Speaker 3:That's what's up?
Speaker 2:Okay, that's what's up that's what's up okay, okay, I just want to retire. I don't, so me too.
Speaker 3:So let's let's give it, give something to to someone else. So I'll give tyler's tyler you give richard, richard you give mine of something we, we have to accomplish this year, like I have to tell him to accomplish something okay oh, this is gonna be stupid yeah, who wants to go first?
Speaker 2:that's the question uh, you go first me go first.
Speaker 3:Okay, tyler, what you have to dang the violence, what you have to record and finish an album, oh, I thought you're gonna say a song. It's like I already done two of those, no, an entire album I already got. Well, there you go. Then it can't be that hard. Five or six written songs, there you go.
Speaker 1:I mean I'm gonna need it in a actual physical, yeah, medium uh well, we, we were going to record with me and live record with the walk brother, cody and Clinton. And then we hit a financial snack because it was he was going to charge us for an entire day of recording however much we can record 500 for 12 hours. Hopefully in the near future that will work out come to fruition, yeah yeah. Hopefully in the near future, that'll work out. Come to fruition, yeah.
Speaker 3:Okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2:I got one for you.
Speaker 1:There you go. Oh, okay, go for it.
Speaker 2:You have to start taking your Mondays off.
Speaker 3:Oh, come on, Preach.
Speaker 2:So that means that you're going to call me every Monday and when I say what is your plan for today, it should not be any church stuff.
Speaker 3:That's good, because for those of y'all that don't know, I don't do that.
Speaker 1:That can be your streaming day. There you go. Make that your side hustle day.
Speaker 3:You're working. Right, I'm working, babe, leave me alone.
Speaker 2:Okay, I'm on this level but that's, that's something I want to see you do because you have got to prioritize yourself yeah, that's good, I like that.
Speaker 3:I accept that.
Speaker 2:I accept that challenge I'm terrified of what's about to come out of tyler's mouth right now. He doesn't have anything yet.
Speaker 1:Never mind. Um.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, I should, um it's a big one, I'm going to um this year.
Speaker 3:Um from.
Speaker 2:Umbridge To Laura's Umbridge. I'm perfect, I don't have to work on anything.
Speaker 1:No because, well, you, I guess, whatever one I pick, you already kind of said you're playing due.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's kind of.
Speaker 1:Okay here's mine, here's mine, and it's a tough one.
Speaker 2:Oh great, Y'all get stuff easy and I get tough. Oh, it's not easy for me, that's not easy.
Speaker 1:Well, it's tough. It's tough because everyone does the new, your new, me. New Year's resolutions and they fall off after the first week. My challenge I'll say it's a challenge is to stay consistent, at least until beginning of summer.
Speaker 2:With the dieting and the exercise.
Speaker 1:With just overall taking care of yourself, okay.
Speaker 3:I'd say, yeah, I'm going to add on to that because I like that. That's kind of what.
Speaker 2:I was thinking too.
Speaker 1:Hey, two challenges, yeah, oh good, so same thing.
Speaker 3:So this episode next year, so first episode of the year next year, 50 pounds gone.
Speaker 2:I can do that.
Speaker 3:You've done it before. Close to it 30.
Speaker 2:I think 35 or so is what. I've lost before.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and it's healthy. You know anybody listening. It's healthy weight loss, not just. Not water weight right well anyone can dehydrate themselves what's that new medicine that all the celebrities are taking, or whatever?
Speaker 2:it's like yeah, it's like that's not healthy for you. No, I tried to get on that.
Speaker 1:I'm not diabetic, so I can't no, here's the here's the thing that I want people to understand about weight loss and all those things. It's easier than you think and you don't need all that crap. Yeah, it's as simple as find your find your find your happy place. Find your maintenance calorie your what maintenance calorie?
Speaker 3:that's how many calories if you eat.
Speaker 1:Eat exactly that you stay the same. Yes that's your maintenance. If you're trying to lose weight, go under 200, 300. It's got to be gradual because your hormones and your hormone balance and all that is affected directly by your food. So when you change your diet drastically it'll mess you up a little bit. It messed me up quite a bit when I was bodybuilding. I came off my diet straight back into eating how I used to. There was no transition. I just went from one extreme.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't say it was extreme, but went from one end to another, and my stomach has not been the same, since it's so sensitive. I can't eat nearly as much as I could anymore. It's just bad, but it's. It's a matter of figuring it out, and you can reach out to anyone that's into the fitness nutrition game getting an idea and just sticking to it.
Speaker 2:it's, it's literally that simple I guess I should make it public knowledge then that when I went to the doctor last time it was 316 pounds, just like wow. That really hit me in the head like it was like dang, I mean that's. That's not far from 400 pounds how tall?
Speaker 3:How tall are you?
Speaker 2:5'10".
Speaker 3:Yeah, and just looking at I mean which the scale is a little bit unrealistic, especially nowadays. But you can look at the height and what you're supposed to be and that's what really gets me like, oh, I'm not doing as good as I'd like to be, when you look at, oh I, oh, I'm 5, 10.
Speaker 1:I should be between this and this and also don't get blinded or so, uh, hyper focused on the number, because overall health is not a number, it's. It's how you are feeling physically and mentally, because when I was doing that bodybuilding, I was down to 6% body fat. I was, when I get down to 159 pounds, drained yeah horrible sleep. All the things moody ask live I was oh snap I physically looked good. Yeah, but when it there's got, it's got, there's got to be a balance. Uh, so physically I look good.
Speaker 3:Mentally I was awful well, that's what, uh, I I knew they did an interview with zach efron talking about during baywatch. You know he's in the best shape of his life. He's, I mean, yeah, the best shape you could, anybody could be in. I mean it was pretty drastic, it was crazy, and that's what he said. He said he was just, everything was hurting right, and that's.
Speaker 2:I don't know how people like the rock maintain that I know he's your favorite person in the world, but they you know he's what?
Speaker 3:50 years old yeah, and it's still called steroids?
Speaker 2:I don't know that it's 100.
Speaker 1:You don't get bigger as you age well, he's not bigger oh, he's quite a bit bigger than he, then yeah, he's pretty. He's pretty bigger than he was when he was in wrestling prime ww. Yeah, there are other.
Speaker 2:There are other people like that that as they age, they they maintain you know, their, their physique, which I get that you know. If you're a millionaire, you can afford trainers right and you got the best nutritionist and you got chefs and you got all that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, absolutely yeah, but yes, I'll accept the challenge yeah, man, well, and it's and it and what really you know we, we pick on you a lot. When we pick on tyler for being short, y'all pick on me I can't help it a myriad of challenges grow six inches.
Speaker 1:This year I'm gonna get that leg surgery to extend the the legs.
Speaker 3:No, but it it really is. It gets to the point to where it's. It's your health that we're worried about. You know we pick on you, but we really are concerned. Well, especially you know me and you were moving the the pews the other night and it was rough. I mean you're about to fall over and die from moving. Moving one. I mean it was heavy, but but it wasn't like. It wasn't like.
Speaker 1:I mean it's just like I got it no, I'm no I told, I told live before, this is like after I finished that uh, competition because I got so burnt out with the gym and nutrition and all that stuff. But uh, really now, because I'm getting back into lifting and doing all that, really my goal now is just functionality. And I was telling her you know, I take my physical health serious because you know I don't want to have, you know, kids in the future and I've got to sit on the front porch and watch them play outside because physically I can't handle it.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that's where mine comes from is that I want to be able to, when Zeke's a senior, be out and training with him, and if I have grandkids and all that, I want to be able to do those things. That's where mine comes from.
Speaker 1:When Jamie will sit, it's like we're not 25 anymore. It's a longevity thing. A, it's a longevity thing. And um and that includes being smart with how you train, like, if you look at um, um, ronnie coleman easily one of the top three best bodybuilders in the world. Yeah, he's about 60 yeah worst shape of his life.
Speaker 2:He can barely walk.
Speaker 1:He's had he's what 30 plus almost 40 surgeries that he's had because of.
Speaker 2:Well, what I don't want to get to is that point of acceptance where well, I'm old.
