YUP. IGOT YOU!
YUP! What a title. I know—but it says a lot without saying too much.
KISS has always been a guiding principle here (Keep It Simple… and a little sexy).
This podcast delivers real-world life hacks around relationships and personal development—quick, practical, and actionable. No fluff. Just the right amount of content to actually move the needle. If you’re tired of hearing “change yourself” without being shown how, you’re in the right place.
It’s fun. It’s relaxing. And it’s grounded in solid, hard-earned wisdom.
Presented with a little redneck flavor, a little 80’s awesome, and a whole lot of gray-hair-earned experience.
Join the family. You are welcome and valued here—because there’s no one else like you. If you’ve been missing a friend or advisor who tells it straight and actually cares, you just found one.
Yes, there’s humor. Always.
And yes, I’ve got the credentials that matter: six kids (all teenagers or older—and I’m still standing), and married to the same amazing model for over 30 years.
My desire is simple—to see you win and be genuinely happy.
Let’s get this thing going.

Death by Exercise (Episode Summary)
Tombo dives into a spicy question: if exercise is “the best medicine,” why aren’t the longest-lived people typically hardcore athletes? He makes the case that moderate movement (walking, sensible strength training) can be life-giving—but extreme training can quietly shorten your runway if you’re not replacing what you burn through.
The core idea: intense exercise doesn’t just “burn calories”—it drains minerals and nutrients through sweat and constant output, and most modern diets (even “healthy” ones) don’t reliably replenish those trace minerals. Over time, Tom suggests, the body steals from reserves (muscle, bone, deeper stores) and you can end up looking/feeling depleted—especially in endurance sports.
He shares his own history: loving weights, hating running, dropping about 30 pounds, and noticing how electrolytes/minerals changed his cramps, stability, and recovery. The practical takeaway is simple and very Tombo: don’t go extreme without an extreme replenishment plan—recovery time, mineral support, nutrient-dense food, and way less junk. He’s not trying to roast athletes—he’s saying: we need you alive and thriving for a long time.
