The Dad Bods and Dumbbells Podcast
The Mac & Cheese Marathon Mishap and Xmas Family Traditions
Ever wondered what happens when Oregon's football team faces a tough bracket placement or how a simple dad joke can derail an intense sports debate? Join us for an episode full of surprises and laughter as we tackle the college football 12-team bracket and predict a potential Texas-Oregon semifinal showdown. The fun doesn't stop there; we lighten things up with a train joke that will have you questioning the "loco motives" behind our humor. As if that wasn't enough chaos, I recount my San Antonio Marathon experience, where digestive drama from mac and cheese balls and a missing running watch made for a memorable—not to mention amusing—race.
Shifting gears from touchdowns to tinsel, we plunge into the whirlwind of Christmas traditions. Picture this: cutting down a real Christmas tree only to find the recent freeze has left slim pickings, or the balancing act of keeping Santa's magic alive as kids grow older. The holidays are a mix of joy, chaos, and kettle corn, sometimes enhanced by a little whiskey to maintain the festive spirit. I reveal my past struggles with Christmas due to work obligations but share how creating outdoor decorations with my kids has sparked a newfound love for the season. We also touch on the unique challenges of having a birthday near the holiday and the evolving nature of family traditions, hinting at a cozier, more intimate Christmas celebration with close family.

Welcome to Dadbods and Dumbbells. My name is Mitch.
Speaker 2:Hey, I'm Bart.
Speaker 1:Thanks for listening, watching, subscribing, liking. We love that you listen and we are happy to be here.
Speaker 2:Definitely let's go.
Speaker 1:So let's talk college football.
Speaker 2:Real quick, let's do our one minute of college football, the final bracket, the 12-team bracket, came out.
Speaker 1:Oregon, of course, is still number one, they're good. But they got the freaking worst bracket space. They should be playing the worst team, like SMU or Clemson, but instead they're going to play the winner number nine, tennessee or Ohio State, who they've already beaten, but Arizona State, the wild dog. They had Arizona State saying that they were going to be last. They were predicted to be last in the Big 12, and they won it.
Speaker 1:And so they'll play the winner of Clemson in Texas. Well, texas will batter the Clemson Tigers, and I think they'll batter ASU, and so basically, it's going to be a Texas-Oregon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, semifinal Into the final.
Speaker 1:Yeah, into the semifinal. And then we got Indiana, indiana and Notre Dame. I. We got Indiana, indiana, notre Dame. I'm an Indiana fan. I grew up in South Bend, hate Notre Dame, so Indiana is going to crush them. They meet with Georgia, but Carson Beck is out with Georgia, so they're starting quarterback.
Speaker 2:What was the?
Speaker 1:injury, I don't know being dumb or something Probably like that.
Speaker 2:He's such a stupid, probably a tear.
Speaker 1:Did you hear that he was sending Snapchats like sexy Snapchats with his face on them to all these girls? It's like that's the point of Snapchat dude Keep it secret. Anyway, smu then plays Penn State. Penn State's going to roll. Then they'll play Boise State. I mean, penn State honestly has the best case scenario they lose to Oregon, they're still in the playoff and they're playing these weak-ass teams. They'll probably probably be in the final against Oregon again and we will handily beat them what I'm confused by, because obviously this is not my forte yeah the whole.
Speaker 2:But it's like it, the whole thing stretched out like the like the first round is this next weekend. Yeah, it's crazy, and then like, the next round is like not till after the holidays. Like you know, the first weekend of of January and then I don't know, it just seems, it seems long.
Speaker 1:Well, they're milking every dollar possible.
Speaker 2:I get that, but they're going to go up against college football or pro football playoffs.
Speaker 1:Oh, march Madness, now They'll probably fall up against.
Speaker 2:March Madness. At this point We've got Sweet 16 and the college football. Well, it used to be like.
Speaker 1:Even baseball was like. Mr October was Reggie Jackson in the playoffs. Right Now it's November, until they're done, so it's like everything's been pushed back. It's money. But all that to say, I have a great audience entry. Dad joke, if you want to hear it, let's go. Why should you never trust a train? Because they are local that's pretty good, because they have loco motives hey, that was pretty good.
Speaker 2:That's pretty good, you got it, thank you for that entry.
Speaker 1:Uh, keep them coming. Love y'all well. This weekend or last weekend, whenever this comes out, december the 8th, I did the San Antonio Marathon.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And I did the same one last year, but it was my 12th of the year, yeah, it was the final one of it. So I was going to go. My buddy, jesse, was going to join me. He backed out. My wife was going to run the half marathon portion with me, which means she would have done 11 miles with me, but she backed out because Jesse wasn't coming and that was the only reason she was doing it. Duh, you know, not for our husband, of course, a friend of mine then. So I just decided you know what I'm going to go.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I had a Christmas party the night before they had these. We went to electric shuffle. You do shuffleboard, you eat finger foods, it's awesome and you drink a ton of beer, and I had mac and cheese balls, okay.
Speaker 2:Carbo-loading Delicious.
Speaker 1:Delicious mac and cheese balls. Thank you, electric Shuffle. Well, they're delicious until you drive down to San Antonio all by yourself. You line up, all by yourself and at 7 o'clock the gun goes. And about mile 10, let me tell you what happens with a good dozen, maybe a baker's dozen worth, of mac and cheese balls. In your stomach it turns into liquid fire and you spend the next 15 miles 30 to 40 minutes of my time going from port-a-potty to port-a-potty to port-a-potty. Good news is you PR, I did not. No, I didn't. The good news is I didn't have bloody nipples until mile 25. Oh God. The bad news was I lost about 30 minutes in toilets.
Speaker 1:But I got a good tour of the city restrooms. That was pretty great and as far as just the whole nature of it, I tried to do minimalist style. Before this, anyway, before all this crap happened, literally, yeah, I barely had. I had a couple gels with me, I had a very minimal pack. I raw dog marathons.
Speaker 1:I don't listen to music Straight ahead, I focus on the moment. That's what I do. Well, I forgot my running watch so I literally didn't know what time it was anyway. So there was a mile, there was a time where, uh, the half marathon pulled off at 11 mile 11, and you go up the hill to mile 12, uh, for the full marathon, and uh, I was like I saw this lady. I was like man, what time is it? I didn't know what time it was, but I knew it was like, okay, it's like I've been in doing this 10 hour, two hours, which means I pooped for 15 minutes. I mean it was just cause I don't take out my phone, I just leave my. I turn my phone off, right.
Speaker 1:Anyway, all that to say I finished and I got done. They handed me a medal. I was like I don't want this. Like what, what am I doing here? I walk out, all these people are hugging, guys have flowers for their spouses or significant others and I walk with my medal in my hand and I walk down to uh get my beer eight, which is the eight beer that Troy Aikman. It's terrible beer. I drank it, of course, because that's my celebratory beer, and I walked to my car and I drove home Most depressing experience of my life that was awful, it was rock bottom.
Speaker 1:I mean everything about.
Speaker 2:that sounds awful Just to listen to it and hear about your nipples bleeding at mile 25.
Speaker 1:Mile 25.
Speaker 2:And your hot ass.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, that was bad. That's the first time anything like that's happened In 18 marathons. I've ever had such GI distress.
Speaker 2:So in 18 marathons, you hadn't learned the lesson to like, not eat cheese balls, Mac and cheese balls.
Speaker 1:It's pasta dude, Like I just had never thought. I thought it was perfect.
Speaker 2:I thought it was it could have been the third course light?
Speaker 1:I don't know, but that's not true, cause I I would drink before marathons. You know I drink during marathons. Anyway, all that to say, I get done and it was a terrible experience and I'm turning 40 in a week and I I remember running going. This is what 40 is like. It's just a disappointment.
Speaker 2:Get ready for 49. Oh, I can't wait. Oh, that's, but you know, get ready for 49, oh I can't wait. Oh, that's but you know. But I'm trying to look at the bright side of all this.
Speaker 1:Uh, great great content here for the podcast. Yeah, not a boring.
Speaker 2:Uh, yeah, not, there's always something that comes up this weekend my wife and son ran a 5k together oh, that's the jingle bell 5k at the domain up in north oh, that's awesome, that's fun.
Speaker 1:The Jingle Bell 5K at the Domain up in North Austin oh, that's awesome, those are fun. How did you do Great?
Speaker 2:I mean, the goal was really just to jog the whole time because his friend Aristotle was there and Aristotle probably was his first one, and they just wanted to kind of finish and all that kind of stuff. So he wasn't like a PR opportunity, but he did great. I mean he ran the whole time. He had fun.
Speaker 1:What was his time?
Speaker 2:I think they were like 36 minutes 37 minutes, so they walked the whole time. They moved their arms really fast, yeah, but my, my son prides himself in that.
Speaker 1:No, I'm sorry, that was great.
Speaker 2:I love that. I apologize, I'm being an a-hole because I had a terrible experience. Oh, here's the other thing that I'm so sorry, pathetic.
Speaker 1:Uh no, that's great. I love that. I love five Ks for that reason, because it doesn't matter what shape you're in. When I was super fat and out of shape, I ran a 36. That's why I laugh Ran a 36. So I was so tired. When I got done I was like why would anybody do this? Oh man.
Speaker 2:It was funny because you know it was two laps right.
Speaker 1:So, as most it's around the domain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like a big double loop so as the regular paced people were coming, in for lap one these super elite people were finishing in like 18 minutes or 19, 20 minutes.
Speaker 1:It's wild.
Speaker 2:And they're like turning the corner to go to the finish line. And everyone else is like, oh crap, we have another lap to go. These guys are already done.
Speaker 1:Well, I said that to my, I say that to my. Uh, whenever I run a marathon and I hit two hours, I'm like well, everybody's finished. Oh, a funny thing did happen. There's a couple of funny things. I'm sorry, I gotta go back.
Speaker 1:I know it's but I have to say this. So I S there was a medical tenant at mile 25. That's why I realized my nipples were bleeding. They were hurting a lot. I was like I would just want to salvage what's nipples have left. Maybe they're, you know, falling apart. So I go hey, do you guys have any Vaseline? They's my nipples, yeah.
Speaker 2:And they they thought it was a pretty funny like don't worry.
Speaker 1:You're not the first. Yeah, sorry, go back.
Speaker 2:All right, so let's talk about. You know it is the holidays Christmas coming up, in a couple of weeks, your birthday which we're going to do a special birthday episode, so we're actually going to record it.
Speaker 1:Are you going to bring the whiskey?
Speaker 2:Yes, we're going to record it on Thursday and so the episode probably will come out Friday of next week, which is the 20th. So just heads up, listeners, our normal. Thursday episode is going to drop on Friday because we want to make sure we talk about the big 4-0. But let's talk this week about Christmas traditions, things that make like family stuff, being a dad, uh, that kind of stuff. Uh, I will tell you, we, my my wife and son, uh, my wife specifically, all in for Christmas.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's so fun. I love that crap. Um, I, I, I fight it a little bit.
Speaker 2:I'm just going to say I fight it a little bit, not because I'm a Grinch, not because I don't like Christmas, I just like it a normal amount and that is not going to fly?
Speaker 1:When does she want to start setting up? Like does she start early, early?
Speaker 2:It's not no, because she wants to. We always get a real tree, yeah, and you know you can't trees not gonna last more than four weeks, right, um? And we usually normally we go out to the evergreen uh Christmas tree farm out in Elgin and we literally, with the saw and we cut it down.
Speaker 1:That's awesome.
Speaker 2:The hold and put it on the back of the truck and it gets driven and they're like that. We take the kind of hayride back and they wrap it and well yeah because of, like the freezes over the last several years, the, the orchard or whatever we call it, is not, it's just they haven't really replenished their trees, and so there's so we we called over there like well, we've got some douglas firs that we brought in from you know so it's basically like one of those tree stands right and we're so we decided, okay, let's just go to, and it was really cold on.
Speaker 2:But the point is we don't decorate too early. It's an appropriate decoration, but it's just like it's the activities right. It's Trail of Lights, awesome right, you do Trail of. Lights Peppermint Parkway. There's now a new place out in Round Rock where you drive around the lights. Oh yeah, and I'm like, oh, we're doing it all.
Speaker 1:I'm like you should have never suggested it. There's only so many lights that you can see, dude.
Speaker 2:Everything. I think I should just stop and you're like just stop 100% and like all I, I just I keep thinking, I keep thinking, like you know, because it's my wife, my son and I, and then my son will bring a friend and then we'll pay for the rent. So it's like we go to like Peppermint Park.
Speaker 1:It costs money to drive through those things.
Speaker 2:Yes, and then you get like kettle, corn and like this. It's just a big scam and you just drive through. You're stewing and your wife's all in and I'm when I get there, I'm all in, but I but it's, it's. It's a tough. I need a little whiskey to get all I got.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I just dang it's, yeah well we, we went to trail of lights last year because my birthday we stayed, we walked over, we walked over from dinner and the line was insane.
Speaker 2:You got to get the fast pass and we go. Yeah, not worth it yeah, no, we, you gotta, we, we know a guy yeah.
Speaker 1:So who runs it? Oh yeah, yeah, james, so he's hooked. You gotta hook me up, we'll work on that this year.
Speaker 2:But yeah, you get the fast pass, you just go walk right in and then you kind of just that helps a lot because you get to the. You see that long line, it's always lined up and you're just like.
Speaker 1:No, if you go to the shuttle service, it's even worse. Dude, yeah, I'm sure us out horrible. I hate being out of control of that. It's the worst. Where do you park?
Speaker 2:well, we get a parking pass, but then the parking pass is like under mopac you need to go around through like 360 to like stratford and then cut around. It does take a little bit, but yeah, that's, that's a better option yeah, park over there, but anyway, yeah, those are just, I mean, those are fun things. I love that, the um, I love the trail lights I. They always ride the, the ferris wheel I never do why is that?
Speaker 1:are you afraid? No because you don't like heights I don't. There's gotta be. I don't think there's value in it. Like I'm, like you are a grinch. What are you talking about?
Speaker 2:I'm like no'm like, hey, why don't I stay down here and I'll take a video of you guys up there.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's nice. So you don't ever say you don't want to.
Speaker 2:No, I'm saying it on the podcast, but I get that far and they're like okay, because it's like you know you're in there. It's like 10 bucks a pop per person to ride up there.
Speaker 1:And you have to fold your body to get inside. It's not comfortable.
Speaker 2:I'm just like I'm good.
Speaker 1:Dude, this is the best I'm going to hang back. I love hearing about how much you hate Christmas. I love Christmas, so tell me what else you hate about Christmas.
Speaker 2:While we're at it it's funny because I text you today. I'm like, hey, I'm real tired today you might have to bring the energy.
Speaker 1:You brought it dude, but you're a little bit edgy, it's a little bit of a.
Speaker 2:This is like when I get so tired, I feel slightly drunk.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, you do kind of seem a little drunk.
Speaker 2:The filter's gone.
Speaker 1:I didn't smell your little drink over here. Yeah, it might have been a little extra in there, a little dip.
Speaker 2:But this is interesting. We're at that point where we were kind of thinking we need to tell Jack that Santa is not real right that?
Speaker 1:it's yeah, we are Santa. That's what we were going to tell him. Yeah, Um, how do you think that's going to go?
Speaker 2:yeah, probably not. Well what?
Speaker 1:are you going to tell him?
Speaker 2:So here's what happened.
Speaker 1:Like we got to do an emergency pod to talk about it when.
Speaker 2:But we have you know Val's, so good she. She does a letter to Santa, like you know.
Speaker 1:This thing that we should get, and he with parchment paper she writes what he, what he wants oh nice and it was like everything he listed.
Speaker 2:There are seven items all Legos, all Star Wars, mandalorian, all like 200 bucks yeah, 15.
Speaker 1:You have two thousand dollars with the legos.
Speaker 2:We're like we're like jack, and you know, of course you're trying to be, you're trying to just be like sensitive about, like hey, this is a lot for santa. He's like no, no, I want santa to give and we're like well, you know what, some of this stuff, it seems like a lot. There's other kids. He's like well, the elves can make it and it's you know, and and Val's like Santa's on a budget.
Speaker 1:The economy's tight since COVID.
Speaker 2:But he's doubling down Still.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you've got to tell him dude, he's playing you, he knows he is playing your ass.
Speaker 2:It's funny we said oh, why don't we ask some of the relatives, maybe they can get one of these items you know, as their gift he's like yeah, but Santa wraps it so much better than everybody else and I'm like oh you little shit, he knows.
Speaker 1:He is playing you, bro.
Speaker 2:Jack is a genius, you know what's so funny, val, I genius you know what's so funny about it?
Speaker 1:I looked at each other right there while he was saying all this and we're like let's fucking tell him, you know? Like hey, listen you little shit.
Speaker 2:Santa isn't real and you are ungrateful. You have not learned the lesson that santa is trying to teach you.
Speaker 1:You're on the naughty list. That's what you should tell him. Oh, we checked in with santa.
Speaker 2:Sorry, you're on the naughty list now you're are You're on a very specific naughty list. It's one gift.
Speaker 1:You only deserve one gift you bastard. He is playing your ass, dude. That is awesome. So what are you going to do?
Speaker 2:So the idea is that we're going to give him a couple of things on the list from Santa and then we'll talk to my mom he needs a new bike which is like yeah, like the rational gift that he needs is like a bike.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I need to get my kids.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but anyway, but after christmas we, just because we know next year he's going to be in middle school yeah you can't have a kid running around middle school thinking santa and tooth fairy and easter. It's already tough.
Speaker 1:I can tell you right now the signs are pointing to. He knows.
Speaker 2:He is just milking it, dude. He's playing it. The signs that's so awesome, dude. I love how you're like the signs are. Yeah, he knows.
Speaker 1:He definitely knows. Oh man, yeah. So it was funny. I think we've talked about this on the podcast before. But my son came to me my daughter's three years older and she plays along like oh, santa, mcneely, what does Santa want to bring you, or whatever. And McNeely came to me. He's like hey, dad, yeah, but Santa's not real, right? I was like, yeah, but he's not real.
Speaker 2:He's like yeah that's what I thought, but.
Speaker 1:Fiona likes to play like he is, so I'm going to continue to play along. And I was like they're both playing along. They both are acting like santa's not real, but they both know he's not real. They're doing it for the other person. And then I realized that they both still probably believe in santa.
Speaker 1:They're just kind of playing both ends against the middle you know, just being trying to be sly about it, like I don't know for sure, but I'm going to play it. It's like somebody that subscribes to all the religions, just in case, just in case.
Speaker 2:Well, I'll get in with one of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, one of them are going to figure it out. You know, that's how it works. Our Christmas traditions are interesting because I hate Christmas.
Speaker 2:Really.
Speaker 1:I always have.
Speaker 2:Because it's not really about Christ.
Speaker 1:No.
Speaker 1:So, being in the church world, I always worked Christmas Eve and Christmas no, not usually Christmas Day, but always Christmas Eve and it ended up starting to become a crazy experience where all these Christmas Eve services, I never spent time with my family, I never got to enjoy Christmas service with them, I never really spent time with my family until I got home at like 10 on Christmas Eve and Stacey worked the night shift at the hospital most of the time most of our early marriage, so it's easier, like you have to work a certain number of holidays and Christmas counts for two or something like that.
Speaker 1:So she would always take Christmas Eve because I was working anyway and I just never really celebrated it Like I mean, I celebrated it but it wasn't like, oh cool, another big like multiple work day where I don't get to do much. But just you know, everybody comes in with their families and they all dress so nice and they're all excited because they get to go to dinner after this and I have 14 more services to work. So it just became one of those things. And my birthday is a week before Christmas, so I can't tell you. I didn't realize people don't get Christmas slash birthday presents, but that's what I got a lot of times where it's like my parents did a good job.
Speaker 1:Like you know, legit, my parents did a good job of making sure it didn't affect cause my brother's a December 9th, so to make sure that we didn't like get crushed. But like the expense of Christmas is real, the holiday seasons is tough. So the fact that my wife doesn't subscribe to half birthdays, like I, was like trying to pitch to her that hey, let's just celebrate my real, it's my real birthday. June 18th, but her birthday is June 21st, so I think her real issue was she just didn't want it to overshadow her birthday.
Speaker 2:You're encroaching on her day, but.
Speaker 1:I mean, how difficult is it when you share a birthday with the King of Kings? It is tough to overshadow that, and you can't complain about it either, because it's the. You know it's the Savior coming to this earth right.
Speaker 1:So all that to say, I've just finally now started to get into it, because the kids are into it and so I do really big Christmas decorations outside and so the kids and I plan it together and we go out and we it's a multi-day thing because there's multiple tiers to it I didn't get to do all the things I wanted. Our house is a little awkward to get stuff on it because it's stone face.
Speaker 1:So it's not as easy to to hang stuff, but we figured it out. We made some cool arches like it looks good um, it's not where I want it to be, but that that's kind of become our, our christmas tradition. This year, I think we're doing christmas with our parents early just because we want to. You know, it's christmas is wednesday, stacy has to work still christmas eve. You know, in the medical field you just don't ever get it off, and so we'll probably do Christmas with her parents the week before and then we'll just do Christmas together, which is cool. I mean, we haven't done like a solo Christmas, just our kids. So we're kind of fluid with traditions in a sense.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Part of me wishes that we did have just this huge like. This is what we always do and this is how it is, but we've always moved around a bunch and never always been with family and so do you, do you guys, open presents on christmas day or christmas christmas? Eve we've. We were both that way when we were okay, so yeah, so you only get the santa stuff at christmas day.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, exactly so big time like we get bikes or like musical instruments on christmas day when we were kids. Now we do like my wife. This is a new tradition my family, my wife's family does, which is they have stockings, but they do stockings kind of big. Ours used to be just be like candy and stuff but they have, like, actual items in there, wrapped and like, and then they and I don't think that young could have been bigger. That was the biggest.
Speaker 2:You probably heard that you look tired so, uh, they do this like a lion where they hide.
Speaker 1:It did look like a lion's roar. I thought you're gonna roar. Uh, they get like stockings big so it's like you think about items and ornaments and stuff, and so in the morning you get to open up your stocking and it's really a cool experience. And, uh, you know they typically hide their stockings, and then you have to find them, oh, that's. And yeah, no, it's really a cool experience and you know they typically hide their stockings and then you have to find them, oh, that's cool.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, it's stupid, I hate it. I never find mine. Oh, really yeah ever I find everyone else's and then I can't find mine and everyone's like do you need help, do you need a hint? I was like no, I don't need a hint, I, I'm a, I'm a grinch, we're not going anywhere until I find it, in fact, one time I refused to even look for it.
Speaker 2:I was like I'll just sit here, I don't care, like I don't really need it, I'm good I don't want your cool things, it was all my money you spent anyway no, my grant.
Speaker 1:My wife's parents do it like really that's she always my. My mother-in-law always has something that's very personal, so she made me an ornament, personalized ornament, ornament 26.2 last year, you know, for the marathon week and things, so she's always very intentional.
Speaker 1:My wife sometimes forgets, and so I go to Bucky's when I'm traveling and I just buy a bunch of stuff at Bucky's and typically I just get only beef jerky for myself. So that's pretty awesome. That's great. Yeah, so that's that's what we do for Christmas. It sounds like you guys have a way better Christmas than I do.
Speaker 2:No, I think it's just. I mean, everything's different, it's just, yeah, but we do. We open everything Christmas day, wow so.
Speaker 1:How do you sleep? That would be terrible. Oh, we're fine. That would be horrible, we're fine.
Speaker 2:Poor Jack's over there, like Jack has a hard time. He's like he gets up like five. Yeah, of course. And we say we say okay, if you get up early you can open your stocking, but then you can't wake us up until seven and it never worked.
Speaker 1:You know, he like stay, he'll like stand at their door, not even like any, any, uh, any presents before. Like you can't give him a preview, we might do, like a one, like a one-off christmas eve present.
