What's going on, Ian Roberts, thanks, ketose, a.com, welcome to episode, five hundred of the podcast. This is a big one. Today's episode is going to consist of myself Crystal and Ranger. We're going to talk about the fourth. Trimester, we're going to talk about some homesteading Endeavors. We're going to talk about some business Endeavors, some life goals, and just what's going on, our crazy chaotic life right now, post birth of rigel, so he was pretty pretty noise the whole time.
He was, he was getting pretty active, he was not sleeping, but you'll hear him in the background. And for sure, but if you're interested in a little up-to-date behind the scenes of what I was going on in our life right now, that is what this episode is all about. Thank you all for tuning in. Let's roll the intro. This one is episode of 500 big 500. We got crystal in the house. How are you Crystal? I'm doing great. I also got rides on the house.
We've been tossing him back and forth between us. I've got drool all over my shoulder, so if you watch it on YouTube, you can see the drool happens when you see the rigel. Yeah, probably. Yeah, how are you passing them back in here? I'm, that's for sure. Yeah, the goose and the guys, and the cooing that's that's Crystal Rogers. Sleep right now. But I figured for episode five hundred, first of all, I'd like to say, thanks for all the e. All of y'all that have tuned in
and listen to this podcast. 500 podcast episodes, deep over 3 million downloads. This is definitely my biggest platform and it wouldn't be possible without all of you all tuning in listening, so thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We figure, we kind of Hodgepodge episode because we haven't talked about the fourth trimester yet. So we'll talk about them. Talk about some business stuff.
We'll talk about some family stuff, talking about some live stuff you want to kind of just dive into the fourth. Trimester knock that out. Yeah. What is the fourth trimester? Because most people probably have not heard of for trimester. Yeah, but so trimester Tri means
three. So, you only expect three the first second, and third one master yet, but the fourth trimester is something that's like, not really talked about a lot and And people forget that in after you've had your baby that that's what they consider the fourth. Trimester it's a 12-week period after you've had your baby and this is a time to like take care of yourself and take care of
your baby. And I think a lot of people find difficulties during this time or need extra support during this time and just really want to feel connected to their baby. During this time, it's also the fourth trimester because it's Your baby is still connected to you but they're outside of your body now. So it's like a such a weird transition of like protecting them and being there for them. But outside of your body is a really weird experience.
Yeah. And a lot of people this is when most mothers take like you know maternity leave and that's typically what like depends I guess on the employer for how many weeks your employer is pretty ruthless though as much time off dog. I think I got two weeks off. Two weeks, I think I was still probably bothering you to do emails and payroll and everywhere.
So yeah. But what's it been like first baby out the hatch and we got we talked about all of the actual, you know, procedure and everything. Right? Let me talk about we did that. We did a birth. Yeah, we do already. Did that. Yeah, so people definitely should tune in to that one because it was not quite the burst, or we had anticipated. Now Rangers, here he is growing, he is noisy. He's making some funny faces over there. I'm gonna go ahead and feed him.
All right, you go and get situated there. It's crazy. I can still talk, but I feel like when it comes to the fourth, trimester there's a lot of Unspoken. You might just get him fixed up. All right we're working on here. Be able he doesn't knows when it's time to eat. Yeah. Man, he's not doing very well with intermittent fasting right now. He's hungry. Is none of that. All right, is it good? Yes. All right, we're good. He's latched. All right, so let's talk about
for trimetric. Slept like, a lot of people, it's an emotional time people. Oftentimes don't talk about it and you're gonna be able to speak on that much better than me. So, the floor is yours. Crystal, what's the fourth trimester? Like what look like for you as of late? Yeah, it's it's very different for each person I think. And it's when a lot of people find their postpartum depression, postpartum anxieties, things like that.
I have been really lucky to not have to deal with any of that so far, which I feel very blessed. I know it's really hard for a lot of people and so that would be kind of during this period of time also like taking care of yourself after having your baby, things like that. Like because my Mine was a surgery. There was a little bit more, I don't want to say more care. I had to give but it was like my had a major abdominal surgery so that was also different as well.
I didn't get the experience of what a vaginal birth would be like. I know that that is a whole different type of recovery. So I can't really speak on that but there is a lot. There's so much that happens to your body during postpartum period. It's kind of wild. I can you just live it? Like you just live through it and it's kind of crazy and it's messy. And yeah, and you're learning how to be a mom. You're learning what your baby
wants and needs and it's a lot. It is a lot, and I feel like I kind of just like I don't know, I don't even know like I just now looking back. I'm like, whoa, that was a lot of stuff. How did I do that by myself? You know, like not that like you weren't there? But like as a new mom, like how did I do that? Like how did I, how did I go through all that? And like, not really think twice about it.
You just kind of do. It looks like the biggest surprise, our aha moment, like, when people are liking someone's listeners and they're about to have a baby, what do they need to know? What I need to expect the healing process is a lot. It's pretty long, I mean, that's why they tell you like, six to eight weeks. I mean, you are like bleeding and stuff for a while. It's, it can be uncomfortable it.
It's hard but like you're learning to breastfeed and I'd say with breastfeeding, just stick to it. I got a lactation consultant, I didn't actually end up needing it. He was a great feeder because ever he's freaking out right now. Yes, But yeah, get yourself a lactation consultant ahead of time and have them so that if you need them you can just call them because breastfeeding is so important.
And I know not everyone gets the opportunity to do it and it's harder for some people than others. But if you can get yourself a lactation Consultants, the ones at the hospital aren't really that great. Sorry for a Hospital, lactation consultant. A lot of them aren't that. Great. But if you get one that's outside of the hospital, they're usually really awesome. That's what they do for a living and they are really passionate about it.
So I feel like he's been pretty easy from a breastfeeding standpoint though. Welcome, he's not been sucking on my nipples. So I can't really speak from experience but it seems like he latches quickly lets us know when he's hungry and just pretty, pretty normal, like not any extra issues there and we don't really do any bottle feeding at all, unless you're at the gym, and I'm watching for like an hour or so. And he had an IT issues with the bottle, either on those rare. Yeah, patients.
So a lot of people have a hard time getting their babies to take a bottle. I got one type and then that was it. And like, he never fuss about. It didn't care that. He's like total, he's so chill. He's a pretty easy sleeper. And like, yeah, he's a good man, he'll sleep with us. And a lot of, there's a lot of controversy over co-sleeping. Yeah, but hadn't really been an issue for us. That's what that really. Well I get way more sleep co-sleeping.
Being with him and I think he sleeps really well and I feel really safe with it. There's like some guidelines. I'm like, you want to be ya, belligerent drunk? Yeah, anyone who's been drinking tea in the bed. Anyone who's been smoking shouldn't be in the bed, you know, there's There are rules to kind of like follow. Wow, you are just a crazy pants right now. I don't know what his deal is. I think he's just tired.
Yeah he has not taken that nap yet so any Yeah, that let's see what else there is important things. I am the type of person that really likes to take care of myself. I don't really like help. I'm going to switch sides. I don't really like help and I have a really hard time accepting help but looking back I remember telling Robert at the hospital because I had had a surgery. I was like, you know, go ahead and tell them that they can. They can come.
Like as soon as they're ready because we have a lot of had a couple days in the hospital when you say that you don't like my folks. Yeah and Andrew you are not a good punch. Okay, we do anywho. Okay so I told you go ahead and like have them come whenever they're ready to come like wool, will use the help. And I before I was like, I think I want several days to ourselves which we kind of got because I had him on Wednesday night and we got to leave Friday afternoon and and but I was ready.
I was like ready for someone to be there and then his parents got covid. So they couldn't come up. And my parents had planned to come out two weeks after to just like, give us a little bit of time. I didn't have any help, I didn't have any assistance, Robert went back to work on Monday and I had a postpartum doula, but it was almost like a little bit weird for me because it was someone. I didn't know I couldn't be like.
Hey, can you make me breakfast? Best, you know, like I felt I couldn't get myself to ask because I'm not good at asking, but had it been like someone I was more comfortable with. I probably would have been a lot better, but instead I was up like taking care of rigel and taking care of myself and like doing all the things and I just had a major surgery and a newborn and like learning all the things and it was just a
lot. So now, looking back, I, I guess I would have tried to set Myself up for more success. That way. It was fine. I do totally great. I did it all and it was fine, but I almost wish I would have used that as an excuse to rest. Yeah. Because I think new moms need rest. And even though I wasn't exhausted, everyone tells you you're going to be exhausted. I'm not exhausted. Like I actually feel like I have more energy now than I did before.
I was pregnant. And I am tired at times like I'm like this morning I woke up and I was like I could just use a day where I just like sleep you know. Like that would be really nice but I feel when I am awake, I feel more energized. I feel better, but we're going to be changing nutrition at all. Nope, not really pretty much. Say the same thing, you're counting roughly track him a curve right now. Yeah roughly I've gone on and off tracking macros but probably around 20.
Six 2700? Yeah, probably don't ya and there are days where I do eat more because I'm just so hungry and then there's other days where I'm just like busy that I like forget to eat and I'm like, oh man, at the end of the day, I'm trying to like get into food because it's important to have enough calories to be able to feed a baby and drink enough, water and electrolytes and all that kind of stuff. So, he's not had any trouble growing.
I mean, no, he's so healthy. He, he was in the upper percentile when he was born and it was likely in Because he was 42 weeks and not 40. Yeah. But then we just had our first check up the other day and he was a percentile across the Spectrum and length weight head. Circumference. He's weighing in at 15.1 15 pounds 15 pounds 10 ounces, 15 pounds 10 ounces and almost a pound a week. How many weeks? But he's like 15 weeks ago? Yeah, 15. I think yeah, that's 3/8 arguments.
So yeah, I mean he's Going, fine, I don't know. I'm curious to see like so many people were knocking us for being key to threat. Pregnancy. Keo, Sarat breastfeeding, assuming that he's going to have some stunted growth issues and he's growing massive. Yeah, he's growing like crazy massive. He's just he's really healthy. He's like 75th percentile for weight and 8088 sir height for length and then 90 something for head. Circumference can big head?
Yeah. So I mean he's just he's just D. I mean our doctor just said the other day we had to his checkup and he's like, just keep doing whatever you're doing. Like he's looks great, he looks healthy and just keep going, you know, we'll see you in a couple months so yeah I was cool and he's wearing six to nine month clothing, which crazy, yeah, three months on. He's wearing six to nine-month clothing if you happen to get on. Now the nine-month open is a six to nine-month outlet and it
makes my heart so sad. I was so sad when he was two months and he was in three to six months and now he's three months. He's sitting see. Six to nine months. And like, can we just stop here for a second to be a bodybuilder. Yeah. He's building the money right now is get, like five chins. Yeah, he does. Yeah, CAT5 chins, and baby fence rocking on, hold on the level. How are you doing as far as post post birth? Are you feeling pretty good? Yeah, like, there's been a bunch
of emotions as of late. Like, it is, like I said, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. I mean, you like you coming to you get like a plane, you got a routine, you get a Structured here in life and we're very structured people. And we have our hands and multiple things. Multiple businesses are relationships stressful as it is and you throw in a little baby, who's demanding all your time and attention. And it's just total chaos. Yeah, it is. And we've been traveling like
crazy for conferences and stuff. And so, that's been a lot, too, because I'm still new at this. You know, he's only three months old and, and We're still working on it, you know, but he is awesome. He does an awesome job, sorry he's ever being. If the bring that mic closer to you would know if you had your ear muffs on. But you don't know where many must I don't like the message. You happiness can be fuzzy, I don't know. We'll see you guys red tint to his hair was not sure where it's
coming from. Yeah, but anyways, it's been a little bit chaotic chaotic as you guys can tell because this conversation is chaotic, but we have been traveling a lot. And things like that you just get like we've had like as of late we've had like I don't know was it like 15 weeks that are booked out and yeah there's something like that. Yeah. Gone every single week for like 15 weeks or so crazy. It is so crazy. Yeah. So probably not normal.
I mean know most people probably aren't doing that with a newborn. Yeah, we took when we took him to the conference Aikido conference and people were like, really being King. Yeah, I know. And I was like, I don't know if that's like a compliment or like, wow, you guys. Are doing it, you're here. Or if it's like, why are you here? You know, like, he's pretty tough conference. I mean, yeah, he was and that keto calm. I didn't. Really let anyone hold him or
anything like that. He was just so little and, and he's, you know, starting to Adventure out a little bit more. But I can tell it, definitely stresses him out being around that many people just gets exhausting. Let me imitate crashes. The next day, sleeps, all day. The next day. He sleeps all day and He gets irritable. So I'll just feed him a little bit more and just try to like get some one-on-one time with him. Go outside walk around, but he
does great, he's great. I mean, if he's going to be our kid, he's gonna have to get used to the chaos a little bit. Yeah. So totally totally. It's me more chaotic and starts crawling and moving and walking and stuff. You're talking about emotions and I would say, like, the first little bit, like people were talking about, like, this crazy hormone crash like, like, oh you got all the hormones rushing through you, and so emotional and all the Stuff I never had that.
I never had any crazy hormonal things, like my whole pregnancy. I was not that crazy pregnant lady I'll because you on top of nutrition, I mean I think a lot has a lot to do with it nutrition. Trying to stay active getting Sunshine, all that kind of stuff. I never had that crazy hormone thing and there was definitely times in the first few weeks were, I did cry.
I feel like that's normal, you know, like you're adjusting to a Raising new different life and you have someone who relies on you for everything to change them to make them happy to feed them to you know everything that happens in for them. It is happening from your body. So but then I like haven't cried for weeks like I can't cry. Like there's been a couple times where I've gotten really emotional and like wish I could cry right now just like get it out, you know.
But nope, nope. I can't slap. Laughing right now. Laughing he's smiling. I feel like, I feel like there's, I don't know, I feel like I'm trying to really adopt a stoic mentality with everything in life, but I feel like having a kid, it just amplifies it that much more because it's like nothing. He really comprehend what's going on right now because he's too young, but I feel like having kid automatically makes me feel like there's other people relying on me, depending
on me, and there's no good. That's going to come from me. Having like a breakdown in losing it. So, I got to represent myself. Sup well for him and you and because he's Gotta Have, Gotta Have a good role model, you know. Yep. But he's pretty pretty awesome. Like, for me, I didn't know what to expect. I think, I think having a kid was like a big question mark in my life because I'm very much. So, go, go, go have all these Ambitions, all his Endeavors and
having not had a kid before. It's like, I don't want having a kid to become this. This crutch, because I feel like a lot of people use their kids, as, as scapegoats like that. They say, oh, I can't pursue this or that dream because I have a kid and I feel like I'm, it's just like a backhanded. Excuse for a lot of people. I didn't want that to be my excuse. I didn't want that to be a reason why I couldn't pursue what I wanted to pursue.
So for me, I'm just kind of reshaped the whole mindset around it and it's like I want all those things that much more and I want to show rigel how I go about getting those things that I desire. So that he feels emboldened and empowered when he has those desires of his own. It's kind of my mind's been. Yep.
Totally agree. But then make it easy though because I don't, you get on to me for spend too much time at work, I do. Yeah, that is the part that I'm not a lot of people see that but I Robert loves work. That's, that's the thing it's so hard because like, he's doing what he loves, but like, we're ready for him to be home, you know. So, we now have a time every
night that he has to be home. Yes, to be home by got a curve, You yeah it's not a curfew but it's just you know it's like if we're going to spend the evening together or eat dinner together or whatever it would be nice to have a couple hours because rigel is only a wake, you know, for so long. And I want to spend time together as a family and we're
here all day. But like I'm I've been leaving at like 11 or noon every day and going home because Rachel doesn't really sleep very well at the warehouse. Yeah, so I've been going home to get some sleep. Keep or to get him a nap and I'll work from home. So we're not really spending much of the day together either. So I do feel like it's good though like and we're gone every weekend doing something. Yeah but like where as you know, you didn't really have much of a maternity leave.
You you are not bound by like a strict schedule. As far as like you got to be at work a certain time clock at a certain time. So most of your responses with the businesses you can do from anywhere which is nice because like if he's super fast and you just want to work from You can do that and never really stopped.
But I feel like you've got a lot of flexibility in that regard, which is kind of nice for him because we haven't really considered getting any day care service for that because I don't think we need it, you know? Yeah, it's definitely. I mean if you are thinking about working from home and being a mom, all at the same time, it is hard. It is, it can be a big struggle. Whoops, there goes.
It can be a really big struggle. Ghal because you're trying to balance everything and everyday is not the same. Every day is different one day. He's fussy, one day, he's great. One day. He sleeps all day want. You don't? It's just like, you never know what you're going to get any time. I have to schedule, like, a client call or something like that, have to make sure Roberts available which he's like never available. He's always like doing a podcast
or on a call or doing something. So it's a lot it's so hard to like schedule things out because I never know anything. Asleep and maybe as he gets older will get like a routine nap time or whatever. But I just like to do things naturally when he's tired, let him sleep when he's not, let them be awake but it is hard. It's like really difficult. It's and I don't want to say that to like scare people but
it's a lot. You have a person who relies on you all the time plus you're trying to keep up with work and do all the things. It just did a video full day of eating. For rigel. And I talked about how breastfeeding just breastfeeding. Just them at your breast, is a almost equal, almost equivalent to a full time. 40 hour week job with three weeks of paid leave, and are with three weeks of
leave. So that's that's all time job in itself is just breastfeeding and then there's like, changing diapers and keeping them happy and take him for a walk. The getting outside and like, all that, that's another full-time job. And then you're trying to actually do a full time job that it's wild. It's so much and I don't handle stress super easily or super well, so it's a lot, but it's totally doable. I mean, we're definitely doing it all.
Like we haven't let anything says Robert who's not breastfeeding or staying home with him. I was about to ask you. So what's my, what's been my biggest contribution as a father so far? For the first week of diaper changes. And no, no no answer. Yeah, the first week I was like is that physical element? Yeah. The first week of diaper changes that was your, that was your thing. I do, I do what's on your
working out? Like a try and yeah, you make me is him when I workout make me look bad here. Babe. You want to call yourself out? Yeah, I do, I do my favorite time of Raj. Those like in the morning I'll make coffee and then like he's already breastfed that point, she's pretty chill. And then I'm just sit on my lap. We drink coffee. I want to send him out that he is super relaxed in the morning
and it's really great. Yeah, love it and I would suggest that for anyone who it who has a new baby, we get him up at like 6:00 6:30 every single day and he has well he doesn't have coffee with us but he sits there while we drink coffee on the porch. But he is able to watch that sun come up. And that sun is hitting his body, getting his circadian. Rhythm all up and going and doing good and And I just think it's really good for him.
I really feel like it's been so healthy and so natural for him. So if you can sit on a porch and watch that sun come up with you baby. Yeah, totally, totally him. You made hold them. If you want to it will little worm pass them over here. Rigel. And so forth. Now he felt bad because he felt like he didn't do anything. And I presented the cloth diapers have been working. Pretty good.
Yeah, we've been using cloth diapers and less, we're traveling for like a conference or something, where we can't wash them. We've been using cloth diapers and it's been great. I love them like a lot of like when we tell people, we have cloth diapers to kind of get grossed out but they're like, they're used to like just an towels with a safety pin or something. Yeah, there's it's not that they get grossed out. I was like oh it's so so much work. Blah, blah blah. It's really not.
I have like a little spray hose that's connected to our toilet and I spray it off into the toilet. You're not touching any of it, you spray it off in the toilet, throw it in the washing machine. Yeah, boom done. And I just wash the diapers by themselves. Like I'll get a fun bunch of divers from the day. There's like ten. However, many diapers are. I mean, dirty diapers are going through a day.
I don't know, I'd have to like look at it some days, he'll literally not go at all and then the next Next day, he goes a lot which is totally normal. Like it's normal for them to go a couple days or a day or whatever without going to the bathroom. But yeah, like pooping, they can piece that will still pee. It's pretty awesome, though. I love this little munchkin bunt, he makes my day, much better. Yeah, he's like a puppy, dog. You know, that you have a hard day at work.
You come home. You got a puppy dog, you can't be mad at anything and then Rogers like just a cuter puppy dog, right? But he's a human, but he's a human. He has his thoughts and he's a little mean. Um, what do you mean talk about, now, you will talk about some business Endeavor. Some homesteading stuff which had a pretty intensive, homesteading day, we cleared a bunch of land.
My folks, came up with the tractor, we cut that a ton of trees, burned a bunch of brush piles tore down, some just debris in front of the old shop Old Barn. Let me take down the fence, take down the fence in the backyard. We kind of mapped out, potentially, we're going to put our big fence across the property. So once we get that up and running, we can actually start getting some animals. So that should be pretty good.
Not excited about driving fence post because it's going to be driving through rocks, pretty much where we're at but it'll be good. Workout, nonetheless, what animals doing it first chickens? Yeah, chickens are just so easy. It's a kind of chickens and a garden and then maybe pigs next chickens garden and then pigs I guess we got to cross fence out a section for the pigs because I don't need that much space, right? They don't. I mean, unless they're gonna Eat the grass, like it.
What's on the ground? Yeah, you know if you're just going to pin them off and then like feed them with feed, I mean they still need space because they still run around. But what about that that Big Field that we cleared out in the bottom? I'm going to have that for pigs. Are we just gonna put Lambs there? What are we thinking? I think, I think just Lambs or goats or something like that. How little miniature highland cow? Robert is stuck on getting a cow. I really want to go to.
We just don't have enough land for all of those. So think we have Italian one cow. It's like a miniature highland cow though. They don't need near as much space. I think if anybody this is this is a highland cow expert. Let us know eight. Since shoot us an email. We need to pick your brain about miniature Highland. Cows are just miniature cows in general because I feel like maybe people are very expensive. So it's like are you really Getting your bang for your buck, you know?
Yeah. But we would save I mean I don't know if it would say it's probably like hunting, you know, the plan on hunting cause you're trying to save money on game meat and then you wind up spending more hunting gear and guns and cool gear and stuff like that. But I think Kevin cows be cool. Yeah. What about business stuff? Where you get going? What is Lady Savage going to be doing now?
That evolved at all since having rigel know, I kind of turned off all my coaching stuff when I had him and then I picked it back up again. So I opened that up again on my website and it's been going just fine coaching has been great. I still have my workout programs and everything on lady Savage, but I'm just not creating more. I'm actually super excited. I'm going to talk to you about this but I haven't.
I have Set out in my head a like workout program that I'm doing for myself and I'm going to like just document it. And then if it turns out great then I'll turn it into a program which people can buy. But I want to see like the growth that I experienced myself. Training split. Yeah. Just like, I really want to focus a lot on my legs but I just had a dexa done. And all of my body parts were higher percentage than the Average person my age and exception of lean mass. Yeah, like yeah.
My lean mass was higher than the average person, my age. And my legs were the only one that wasn't. It wasn't like they were like super small compared to everyone else. It was just like you're just average and I thought, I don't want to be just average. I want to be better. So so I'm going to I'm building out a program to really work on my legs and while you know, keeping up Upper body as well, but I'm really excited about it. So that's my next goal to getting feisty again.
I'm thinking about doing revamping my trainings, put to. So I did is AMA videos and somebody asked me about full-body splits. So I did am a video explaining why I don't like full body splits and then he responded to me an email like this. They got it submitted, the question. I responded to me an email with some studies, or with a video, explaining some full-body splits. And I'm like, you know what? I haven't honestly given a full body split an honest effort on a
stri. So I may just do a full-body split for the rest of the year to see how my body responds one benefit. I think, is that with us traveling? So much right now, like, at least everything will get worked at some point, you know, man? Right up again. Back to Mommy goes so yeah. I think I'm going to revamp my transplant and do like full body for the next four months or so basically remaining of the year.
And in the past what I've always knocked full body splits for is that each muscle group is not going to get enough intensity in that session because like if you're just doing a few exercises like I wouldn't be enough to fatigue my chest for instance, but if I'm doing that over the course of an entire week, you know, five or six sessions then total volume. Likely obviously frequency is going to all be improved.
So I'm not sure how it's going to pan out in the long run, but I might try that and see how it goes. Yeah, I'm pretty curious to see how it goes for you, but I'm not going to join you. I'm going to do my own thing. If it rocks and rolls, though, you mad? And I might, yeah, it's also hard. That's another thing is, I work out for myself and a lot of people like that, but I personally think a lot of those people are working out by themselves, surrounded by other
people who are working out. Yeah. They're not working out in a gym that's empty by themselves and that has been a really big struggle for me. I, it definitely has made me made it harder. It's harder. I don't know why you'd think I would have liked internal motivation, you know that I can like find within myself but I'm struggling to like be excited to go into the gym and I think it's honestly a lot to do with the fact that there's nobody in there.
Why do you think having you know like being in solitude? Like for me I like to train around. The training or like everyone's. So I could totally get in the zone doing my own thing. But yeah, you know, first thing in the morning by yourself. Yeah. And dark cold. Jim little bit harder to get a, it is. So I've been like, really debating. There's a gym that's like, right down the road that it's really that shape up.
I think, yeah, it's a fine Jim. I mean, there's a lot of really old equipment, but it's close enough to where I could probably make it home for rigel wakes up. And and flowers are like, you'd be able to do that more? No, no. I think it's funny for our. Remember, you have that little card? But yeah. I it's something like where I can go be around other people who are working out and a new environment at maybe a day or
two a week. You, I just the fuzzbucket, he's pretty fussy right now is not only this ballistic but it's because he hasn't taken a nap. It is, I'll have you guys know. It is. What time is it? Like 11. Yeah, 120. And he has not taken a nap. He took like a 20-minute nap and usually sleeps for a couple hours. So maybe a shorter podcast, it's such a tragedy rigel. Snappiness, schedule. I think that makes sense don't
have an access to that. Yeah, so I think like just doing that would be really good but that has been a struggle for sure because Robert and I used to work out together. Yeah, we used to work out together. And yeah, I had my partner to spot me and do all the things and haven't had that now. You know, so it's a lot harder to get myself. Pumped up to work out, I do, I do want you to make that a priority for yourself because I
know you'll do better. If you've got that as a solid foundation because I know the type of person you are. If you got that box checked. Yeah, just do better all around. Like you didn't do the 50 mile March where this and I could tell that bummed out. I was so bummed I could not do that. But I'm even already thinking about next year and I'm like, I cannot imagine leaving rigel overnight, like, I just I can't like I can't imagine it and a lot of parents do that. A lot of parents.
These are kids overnight or whatever it was that my folks come up or something I just I don't care. It's the still the same way. I'm not ready and so not ready, yet. It's you get you got to live your life to do, you know? I know but he's just a baby. Just did a baby, we'll see, we'll see in it. What he'll be a year old? Maybe I'll be ready at that point but as of right now it's like I can't imagine leaving it. Like, in general, I cannot Not. Imagine leaving him.
Yeah yeah that was a pretty cool March though, I did way better foot wise I got last year we raised two hundred and forty pounds our veterans. So pretty awesome rides. Just going to do with this next you will put a little backpack on us and walk with us a ride with us. I guess. I don't know about all. That was so hot. It was pretty toasty. He get a little sunburned, we have to call this. I can stand if I could stand and balance that would be helpful.
Is that okay? Yeah. My little munchkin still, she gonna be in the frame so she don't know. Not cutting off her head. Wants to be going. Yeah. We're just gonna have like all the I don't like going to edit this at all chips. Not going to add this at all. We just gonna leave all this in place. Perfect, this is the chaos of our life. I like it, I like it the other day we were in our morning meeting with the crew and Chip got this experience experience.
But rigel was sitting on my lap and like explosion happened all over me. I don't even like that. He doesn't. His diapers are great. Like he doesn't use the day after Didn't go at all. I think, right? Oh, that may have been but it was an explosion like all over my lap all over the chair. All over everything. I was just like, this is my life. This is this is all the chaos that I expect, luckily less milk, you know, poop doesn't stink. It doesn't. Yeah. It's yellow and we call it
mustard, but for a reason. Yeah. But but yeah, he's a trooper, he's children. What else we got on the horizon? Trying to think of some good high level topics here for this podcast? Do you have anything new with like the apparel? They perils gonna we're gonna launch the apparel this month. So we've got the apparel totally revamped for doing everything in house. We found a u.s. supplier for all of our blanks. So everything's made in America printed by us, super excited about that.
That will be launching later this month in September, right? Really excited about this. Yeah, Bryson has been rocking and rolling learning how to do the screen printing. I've been to the screen printing with them, this shirt that I'm wearing now is one that we're going to have the faith over fear is probably going to be one of First launched designs. Yeah, it's gonna be really good all-around. I'm super excited that paper. I was kind of like, my little artistic Outlet. Sub speak.
Yeah, you know, and then the brakes forget, we got lots of things in the pipeline for the bricks. We can do we have so much. Yeah, I don't want to divulge too much information, but we just finished off our Brick by Brick launch. That was way more successful than I had imagined. So, yeah, that was. Thank you, everyone. Yeah, thank you all who got a break, but then we've literally got the next year. We're pretty much mapped out for like things that we're going to
be doing with new flavors. The giveaway, like we did that cat giveaway. That was a big success. I think. So, we've got really cool prizes that we're gonna be doing for giveaways throughout the next several months. So yeah, I'm just super excited about everything. Keto brick related and then with keto, Savage, lady Savage when I keep doing content there, I'm in the process of building out. A course for keto contest prep that will hopefully launch soon into the new year.
It's me a campaign to the book that's going to be super intensive chips going to be editing like crazy so get ready to. It's going to be good. What else, what else? All right, so we're trying to lot of homesteading stuff too. Like we want to start getting that rock and roll them with my folks brought their tractor up to. It really made me realize how much I need a tractor. I know I knew it would like it's crazy like you're just not ready to buy a tractor.
Yeah, I know. But what we can do in two days, the tractor literally would take me to plus miles without a tractor beam. It's like mind-boggling. Yeah, I just realized that I was like, oh my gosh we've been living here for a year and we still don't have animals and is making me. So sad makes me realize like we gotta get a move on but we do need a tractor for a lot of
things. And I don't, I mean, a lot of people, I guess, don't wouldn't guess in Arkansas that there's that many Rock, but like we're in the Ozarks, like just Iraq everywhere. And like, it's yeah, it's just really hard to dig here. Yeah, but now we've got a lot of that. Length, clear, we know exactly where the fence is going to go. I'm going to put t-posts in with
like a fence line. You know, stretch that with strings, we can really get that dialed in and as soon as that's done, I'm going, start putting a fence up. So you'll be able to start getting some Critters for too long and plant a garden and all that good stuff. Yep. All right. I feel like we need to get him situated. We've been recording for just over 30 minutes and not a super long podcast but rides will you just, you're still in the show, bro. Crystal did people go to find

for the first like two years. And then 2018, I think is when I got consistent about publishing them every single week and then bump it up to two times a week at some point and then I have not deviated from that for well, I don't know. Yeah, absolutely. Definitely been the success. A lot of people really enjoy your podcast especially because it has so much diversity in. In it. Yeah and we all would all the people listening.
