What is going on, beautiful people? It is the CFG and welcome to the Confident Fat Guy podcast. I need to start off and say I'm sorry about not having an episode last week. My work schedule and my sleep schedule has been absolutely crazy. We can't keep people, so second and third, and first shift have to make up for third shift. So there's been a lot of holdovers and a lot of early ins. And I know when season two came out, I told you I was gonna do my best on not missing an episode, but unfortunately, I just couldn't make it happen. So with that being said, I am sorry, but the CFG is back. And before we start this episode, I want to thank my sponsors, Rise Elite Coaching and Aaron5 News.

Man, it has been such a crazy few weeks, not only my work schedule, but in my personal life. So I still haven't heard from the fire department yet, which is kind of a bummer, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. And the CFG is officially off the market. What? Yes. Um I reconnected with uh an a girlfriend that I had in high school. So it's been like 20-something years. And yeah, we kind of hit it back off really well. And as of yesterday, we are official. So I mean it's it's cool. Um dating again was not in my high priority of things, um, until she popped back in with a uh message on Facebook showing me a picture of our prom picture from high school. And we just got talking and yeah, so I'm pretty excited about that. She's absolutely gorgeous. Um and I love her kids, and it's just been really nice to be back in that situation again. Uh I don't know. There's a lot to talk about, a lot of feelings. So yeah, definitely cool. And we're actually going on our first date Monday night in 20 something years. So yeah, I can't wait for that. Um I guess God does have bigger plans, and we'll see what happens. You know, it it feels right, it feels like home again and being with her again is really special, and I've grown to really love her kids, and my son loves her. So yeah, I can't wait to update you guys on everything and we'll see how it goes. In the next couple weeks, the CFG's episode on social harmony should air on YouTube. Um, I thought I thought I had an exact date, but I looked through my emails and stuff and I don't. So just keep an eye out on that. It's social harmony. Talk is talk on YouTube. Go check it out. It was a really fun episode. And also, you can check out the Jacob Pyle show on YouTube. You can check out the CFG's episode on that. Um, I don't have anything else scheduled. Um, with my work schedule, it's it's not been very easy to get in contact with people or schedule any interviews or anything like that. So I'm kind of like, I don't want to say I'm laying low because honestly, I've been so busy. I've barely been on social media. Obviously, I missed an episode last week. So yeah, I'm just kind of going with the flow of the day and the week, depending on my work schedule, to see how everything else goes. Um, and now I have Lindsay. So yeah, I'm trying though. I am trying, and I do apologize. I am extremely tired. Um, I'm not as energetic as I normally am making these episodes, and I am sorry for missing an episode. I'm sorry for being MIA on social media. I feel like when I'm not and I don't get an episode out, that I let you guys down. And that's definitely not what I want. But unfortunately, as I've talked to uh other podcasting friends, unfortunately, it's gonna happen. I'm gonna miss an episode due to scheduling. I'm not gonna be able to be on social media all the time, and I just gotta live with that. And again, I feel like I let you guys down when I'm not. Um, and it sucks, but I've got to take care of my personal stuff before I take care of my podcast and social media. So I'm going to try my very hardest not to miss an episode. I'm gonna try to get on social media, but just please know that it's not always gonna happen and that the C of G is gonna miss an episode here and there. It's just unavoidable sometimes. I hate it. I told you guys I'd be here every week, and I feel like I lied to you guys, and that's not me, and I'm extremely sorry. So, yeah, I hope you guys have had a great week. Um, I hope you guys continue to have a good week. How are you guys? You know, I've had my email up for a while, and I haven't heard from anybody. So please contact me. Let me know how you're doing, you know. Let me know if there's stuff that you want to hear what you want changed on the podcast. I'm still interested in doing a QA show, so send me your questions. Uh, yeah. So, like I said, I am extremely tired. Um I actually have a couple days off, so I'm gonna rest and get things done that I need to get done. And me and Lindsay are going out Monday night, and it's just great, you know. I met Lindsay, I wanna say I was a sophomore and she was a freshman. So that would have been 2003, and then we dated for I don't know, a good year, year and a half, almost two years, and we broke up and we've talked about it, you know, in the past week. Neither one of us remember how we even broke up. We really don't. We sat there and thought about it and thought about it, and neither one of us could come up with an explanation. So yeah, it's been it's been over 20 something years since we've been together. But it's it's been really good so far, and I hope it continues to get better. Um I can definitely see a future with her in the long run. Um so yeah, I'm excited. I've spent about every day with her, either before work or after work. Yesterday or last night, I was supposed to hang out with her, but we were under a tornado watch, and I just wanted to get home to my son. So I seen her before work. She took her kids to the park and I met her up there. So yeah, you guys are probably gonna hear more about her in future episodes. So, knock on wood. This is my last because if this doesn't work, I am absolutely staying single forever. Uh, I've put my heart out too many times for somebody to babe root it over the baseball field. So yeah, but I'm exhausted. I think I'm gonna lay down for a little bit. Um, I got so much to do in the next few days. So thank you all again. And again, I'm so sorry I missed an episode last week.

So I really haven't had time to really just settle down and rest, and yeah. So I love you guys. Thank you so much for tuning in. Sorry, the episode's short, but again, I'm exhausted. So I will catch you guys next week. And remember, love yourself, love each other, follow your dreams, and crush your goals.
