Center thing is supposed to be 12 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:41,000 in the center of your forehead, not on the side. 13 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,760 I like an offset. That's why you look like 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,840 goofball. Yeah, I do like goofball. 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,040 Let's just roll from right there. 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,160 We'll just start the podcast. So you call me a goofball. 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,240 All right, y'all, we got Crystal and myself. 18 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,120 Crystals. My wife, she's also the mother 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,600 of Rigel. Kind of interesting way to start 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,400 the podcast. How you doing, babe? 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,520 I'm doing great, doing great. So we have a lot to talk about. 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,320 We are recording this podcast because I don't have any other 23 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,040 podcast recorded right now and crystals like my backup babe 24 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,440 that didn't sound. Wow, I think I'm I'm pretty sure 25 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,640 I'm the first babe. But you know what I'm saying? 26 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,280 So from podcasting standpoint, I wanted to come be like a little 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,240 fiddler person for me. So we figured we take this 28 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,880 opportunity to talk about the main highlights of 2024. 29 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,040 We're in 2024, right? Yeah. 30 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,240 And then we're going to talk about some of the things we're 31 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,880 excited about in 2025, of which there are many. 32 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,960 We have a lot to talk about. We typically do like a year in 33 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,400 review and since we're recording this on December 4th, we're kind 34 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,480 of rolling all that into the year in review. 35 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,040 We also do a podcast together on the 100th episode of every 36 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,760 podcast, but we'll save that for episode 800, which is crazy. 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,680 That's going to be 800 episodes. Is that soon? 38 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,440 No, this is I think episode 730 or something. 39 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,200 So we got a little while. But that said, let's just dive 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,240 into 2024 highlight reel, kind of some of the main things. 41 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,639 Talk about 2025, what we got coming, and just some things 42 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,560 that have been going on behind the scenes that are not really 43 00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:16,280 Privy to everybody else's ears because we haven't been vlogging 44 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,040 at all. We're terrible, terrible with 45 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,920 the vlogging, but we've got a lot of homesteading update 46 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:25,520 stuff, all kinds of stuff. So you want to just start taking 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000 from the top, babe. So, highlights of 2024 that come 48 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,920 to mind for you? We got a dog. 49 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,640 We got a dog, we got diesel. Diesel, we got him. 50 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,960 We picked him out in January and we got him in February, right? 51 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,240 His birthday, yeah. I think we, yeah, I'm pretty 52 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560 sure that's exactly how it went. I don't remember that exactly. 53 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760 That we got him. I appreciate it was February. 54 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,560 His birthday is January 4th and we got him when he was six weeks 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,960 old. So he is not yet a year old and 56 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:54,040 he's every bit of 140 lbs? Yes, and full blown puppy. 57 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,760 He's pretty cute though. Yeah, he's pretty cute. 58 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,480 He's pretty cute. He has taken a liking to our 59 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,320 chickens so we have no more chickens. 60 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,840 So from the homesteading standpoint, we are now 61 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,480 chickenless because he learned to like chickens. 62 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,520 However, since then we've taken to the trainer and that did 63 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,040 wonders. So he is a well behaved 64 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,200 gentleman now for the most part. He was wild like he was. 65 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,000 He was something else. Love them to pieces but at one 66 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,320 point I was just like I have made the biggest mistake. 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,960 Like that breed, he's a Connie Corso. 68 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,280 It's like an Italian Mastiff. That breed is super protective 69 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,840 and they just innately know to protect us because we're his 70 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,760 family. So super protective of us but 71 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,560 not in like a negative way at all. 72 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,800 Yeah, like people can come over to our house and he's not going 73 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,400 to attack them. But like, there was a person who 74 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,080 was walking by our house the other day and I happened to be 75 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,800 there and he totally ran up on him. 76 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:53,200 And yeah, he definitely will protect us, but he can very 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,880 easily tell who we are allowing at our home versus who's not 78 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,320 supposed to be there, which is really cool. 79 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,680 Yeah, and his big thing now is just eating Christmas ornaments. 80 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,720 Yes. He does that, Yeah, he does chew 81 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,280 on everything. Yeah, that's like this breeds 82 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,960 thing. I follow a lot of like Facebook 83 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,960 pages for this breed and everyone said like, they're 84 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,480 super mouthy. They chew on everything. 85 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,600 Doesn't matter if you give them bones or not. 86 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,760 Like they're gonna just chew everything. 87 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000 Everything. But it doesn't really chew like 88 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,200 our shoes and stuff. No, he chews like harder things. 89 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,720 Like the rocking chair that sits on our front porch. 90 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,480 Like he. Ate or charcoal? 91 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,640 Rocks get charcoal. He'll get in our fireplace and 92 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,160 take out pieces of wood or charcoal out of there. 93 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,120 It's just so weird. But he does, he definitely does 94 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,040 chew on everything and. We're doing straight up 95 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:48,200 carnivore with him so we use my pet carnivore and he's eating 6 96 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:53,000 lbs of meat, 4 to 6 lbs of meat a day, twice a day, 3:00 in the 97 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,960 morning, 3 in the evening and he loves it. 98 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:57,640 Yes. So he does love it. 99 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,800 We love diesel. That's a big thing from a family 100 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,880 standpoint, homesteading standpoint, yeah. 101 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,280 We butchered our Lambs. Butchered our Lambs, we. 102 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120 Have no animals other than diesel right now, yeah. 103 00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:09,640 We will get more chickens tonight. 104 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,120 He's been training. We will definitely get more 105 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320 chickens. We may get pigs next year. 106 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,160 Yeah. But for sure chickens. 107 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,920 Right. We are going to get chickens and 108 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,720 diesel. We do think he would do really 109 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,080 well with them, but just to safeguard our chickens. 110 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,960 But also we're getting Robert's parents dogs while they sail. 111 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,800 So for this next year we're going to have them for at least 112 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:37,240 six months and they're bird dogs, so putting them with 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,680 chickens is probably not the best idea. 114 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,440 So we're going to get chickens, but we're going to like build a 115 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,400 a lot better like fencing and area for them to be in, which is 116 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,600 a little bit sad because we really wanted them to be just 117 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120 like free range, just like pasture. 118 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Just go do your thing. But they still have a good life 119 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,240 when they have. I mean, they'll still have 120 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,840 plenty, plenty, plenty of space, but it will be fenced in. 121 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,280 Yeah, it'll be good. What else we got from a business 122 00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:07,080 standpoint, we had a lot of things happen this year. 123 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,360 We launched the course. So the Savage system at 124 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,880 ketobodybuilding.com is live. Super proud of that. 125 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,320 We're continuing to update that and refine it and Polish it, add 126 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,720 more content, improve what's already there. 127 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,720 But that was a huge weight on my shoulders throughout the 128 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,320 competitive season last year because I don't work on that for 129 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400 like 4 or five years now. I think it's been a long time 130 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,880 coming, but that is now officially live and people can 131 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,560 get that. It's pretty much everything in 132 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,320 my brain laid out in course format. 133 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,440 And we've got a thriving tribe memberships. 134 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,560 It's like a private membership that people get if they get it. 135 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:44,080 And like we do weekly live calls there. 136 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240 We had a weekly live call last night that's super engaging. 137 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:52,440 So yeah, I'm super proud of that and just excited to facilitate 138 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,400 this environment where people can grow together. 139 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,360 Yeah, I'm super excited for the community to grow because it 140 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,760 seems like everyone who is a part of the community is just 141 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,880 like, man, this is a really good, like positive, encouraging 142 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,200 group of people. And I feel like there's so many 143 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,040 groups that are not that way. And it's not like on Facebook, 144 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,240 you know, like there's a lot of like Facebook groups and things 145 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,920 like that. Like this is completely 146 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,200 separated. It is its own thing. 147 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,160 It's super easy to access 'cause it's literally an app on your 148 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,000 phone. But I just really like, I like 149 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,920 the feedback that you're getting on the community and how great 150 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,920 it is. But I'm super proud of you for 151 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,640 getting that done. And Chip, gosh, you guys have 152 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,240 put in a lot of work, a lot of work. 153 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,600 It was a it was a long time coming. 154 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040 Yeah, but all good stuff. And then we're going to start 155 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,360 doing private retreats through that as well. 156 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,160 So people that are in the membership get first dibs on the 157 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,360 private retreat, but then other people can do the private 158 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,160 retreat as well. So we're. 159 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Probably going to, but it's. Going to be steeply discounted 160 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,040 for people that are in the membership, but then I'm super 161 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,240 excited about we'll, we'll kick that off in 2025. 162 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,000 And I want to say that for the 2025 spiel. 163 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,680 But. That's super exciting because 164 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,880 we're going to bring in like an expert speaker. 165 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,760 We'll book out a big Airbnb and we just have like a weekend 166 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,480 where we're together intimately with everybody in the same spot. 167 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,520 Because like a lot of these conferences, I like, I love the 168 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,280 conferences, but it's just so chaotic. 169 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Like everybody's flying in and then you've got like a million 170 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,640 different vendors and a million different speakers and people 171 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,640 are rubbing shoulders for like 2 minutes at a time with this. 172 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,800 It's like we're going to have a whole weekend together. 173 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,320 It'll be. Limited on the amount of people. 174 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,320 Probably like 20 people tops. And then we'll have like 175 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,760 fireside chats, cookouts and just be like real deal stuff. 176 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,840 Because I feel like with all the benefit that technology brings, 177 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:44,480 it removes a lot of that intimacy factor. 178 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:45,920 And I feel like people crave that. 179 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,280 And I just want to be able to offer that, you know? 180 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:49,840 Yeah. So that'll be good. 181 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:51,040 Yeah, I'm really excited for those. 182 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:56,160 Another big thing happened in 2024 was keto brick, cacao 183 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,120 crisis. So that kind of came to a head 184 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,560 and our prices, our ingredient prices went through the roof. 185 00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:04,040 That's why I went to Brazil for 10 days trying to figure that 186 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560 out. And we had, we were forced to 187 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,920 increase our prices and cause charge shipping, but that was 188 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,880 like a lot of sleepless nights. I remember waking up in February 189 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,200 of this year with a legit panic attack. 190 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,280 I think it was February of this year, but we had Rigel, we just 191 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,840 got in diesel and then everything that I knew about the 192 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,120 business got flipped upside down on its head. 193 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:27,280 So that was kind of scary. Yeah. 194 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,200 But we made it through. Sure did. 195 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,480 We're making it through. We're hoping that tallow we're. 196 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:33,680 Still pushing through, but we're. 197 00:09:33,680 --> 00:09:36,480 Hoping that tallow kind of acts as a saving grace on that one 198 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,560 for sure, but that's been looking pretty positive so. 199 00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:42,000 Far, we did a launch and it went really well. 200 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Like, people seem to really like it, and so we're going to keep 201 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,320 pushing that and hopefully it just continues to go well. 202 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:50,680 It will. It will. 203 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:53,920 I feel optimistic about it. What else? 204 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,760 Big 2024? We had like a whole list of 205 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,840 things before we sat down to record and now we've. 206 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,040 Figured we're like relaunching the apparel. 207 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:04,360 Yeah, that'll be 2025 as well. Yeah. 208 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,880 But we did our like first relaunch, I don't know, a couple 209 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,680 weeks ago, Yeah. And we're really excited about 210 00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,800 that. It's really hard because that's 211 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,240 it's like you. Probably don't believe us that 212 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,240 we're excited about. It, I know it just seems like it 213 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,400 seems like it's been on the backward and like we felt like 214 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,880 we've like relaunched it several times, but we actually have 215 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:24,040 Greg. That's another thing. 216 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,760 Greg joined us this year. That's been a huge, he's been a 217 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,240 huge asset to the business and to Robert and just that's been a 218 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,400 really awesome. My triceps are bigger than 219 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,960 Greg's though. I'm just going to throw that out 220 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,760 there right now. But yeah, now that we do have 221 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,760 Greg, that will be a little bit, I feel like it will be a little 222 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:51,240 bit easier to carry on with the apparel launches and like just 223 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400 bringing on different ideas kind of like pushing things through. 224 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,360 But the apparel has like got the back burner so much. 225 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:02,080 But I feel like it could do so well and like we all, like all 226 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,480 of us here wear our apparel all the time. 227 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:10,280 So I'm excited to provide more stuff. 228 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,960 And like we right now we've done like a lot of T-shirts and 229 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,360 hoodies and things like that. But like, we are excited to do 230 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,920 things like leggings and shorts and joggers and, you know. 231 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,760 I want to get into like gear to like bags and duffels and like. 232 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,840 Really good quality things that we can offer. 233 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,760 And yeah, so I'm really excited about that. 234 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Yeah. So we're going to revamp the 235 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,360 entire website. We're going to roll out like 236 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,240 giveaways with that. We're going to have like a 237 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,480 membership component to that. We're redoing the whole website 238 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,280 from the ground up, changing everything. 239 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,600 So that'll be a big project going into the new year that I'm 240 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,120 excited to unveil. So that'll be good. 241 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,160 And we've been kind of doubling down on just everything in 242 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,680 house. So we do all our own printing in 243 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,040 house like we do with the bricks alone production in house. 244 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,840 So that's been that's been good. What else? 245 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,600 There was a couple other big things 2024. 246 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,760 So there's one massive one that I'm forgetting. 247 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,360 What is it? I don't know. 248 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,320 And I always think business stuff, but I thought there was 249 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,800 like some personal stuff that was going on. 250 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,880 Let's just roll into 2025 and it'll come to me. 251 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,960 So like obviously the apparel stuff we're excited about and 252 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,960 then with the the Keto brick in 2025, we've got multiple new 253 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,400 tallow flavours dropping. We got a few flavours dropping 254 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:32,320 at this month there tallow, we got a big one in beginning of 255 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,800 next next year. So we're kind of kind of roll 256 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,760 into that world Carnivore month in January and kind of turn the 257 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,680 world upside down with some exciting things in that regard. 258 00:12:42,680 --> 00:12:45,840 So stoked about that. We're just trying to streamline 259 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,360 everything. The whole manifesto for this 260 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,720 year was to just get organized, reflect, recalibrate and re 261 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,720 engage was the manifesto. So I just wanted to get 262 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,160 everything organized and it's been kind of like the main 263 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,800 focus. So just streamlining operations. 264 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,160 We invested in some new equipment. 265 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,400 I went and looked at some equipment earlier this week that 266 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,560 would streamline operations for the bricks as well. 267 00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:09,320 So yeah, we're just trying to get things dialed in. 268 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:14,920 So many businesses, so many people try to expand before 269 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,440 they've got things streamlined and then they just crumble. 270 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,120 And I would rather grow more slowly and organically, but 271 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,880 soundly. And I think that's been the 272 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,440 primary focus for this year for sure because we we have a lot of 273 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,200 a lot of things, a lot of irons in the fire, so to speak. 274 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:35,000 Like you've got the bricks, the apparel, the course, the other 275 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,320 course, we've got the family component, the homesteading, the 276 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,040 live savage. We just have all these things 277 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,600 and it's been stressful, but it's all because everything that 278 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,320 we're doing, we're passionate about doing. 279 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:53,160 And you've taken a significant back seat role in the company. 280 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,040 Like you're not nearly as involved as you were when we 281 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,240 started. When we started, it was you and 282 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,840 me making these things by hand in a kitchen with a freaking 283 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,720 fork in a measuring cup. And now you pretty much do 284 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,120 payroll and health department stuff. 285 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,560 That's pretty much in booking. You do a lot of my booking for 286 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,680 Airbnb's and flights and stuff like that, but you've been a 287 00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:14,280 full time mom, so talk about that. 288 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,160 Yeah, I love it. I love being able to stay home 289 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:22,880 with Rigel. I will say that it is hard to 290 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:29,360 see things are happening with the business and I don't know, 291 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,960 just not being, not being able to be here. 292 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,840 And I, I could come, but Rigel is a little rambunctious these 293 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,840 days. And so it's a little harder to 294 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,040 contain him to have a meeting with Robert or whatever. 295 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,600 So it's a little bit harder to have to continue to take steps 296 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,400 back because in the beginning I was still doing a lot of things 297 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,080 and that like I slowly, slowly, slowly just stopped doing as 298 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,320 many things and just saying like, I think this is too much. 299 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,240 I don't have enough time for this. 300 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,680 And like Rigel's schedule has changed over the last 2 1/2 301 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,200 years. That it, it's like, OK, at first 302 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,440 he's not a, he's newborns are needy. 303 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,320 But I still had time because he was. 304 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,360 So anyways, I feel like I'm gonna go into a long store. 305 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,760 So I'm gonna just make it simple and easy. 306 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,600 It's wonderful. I absolutely love staying home 307 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800 with Rigel. He is amazing. 308 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,480 It's it's a huge blessing to be able to be home with him. 309 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:36,040 But there's also the hard part where I want to be more a part 310 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,520 of what's going on with the business. 311 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,560 I want to have more of those adult conversations as well. 312 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:47,400 And purposefully saying no to things can sometimes be hard 313 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:49,640 'cause I want to be a part of it. 314 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,320 But then I'm like, but this is my priority right now and I need 315 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,840 to be OK with that. So it's, it's a bittersweet, but 316 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,280 like super sweet, sweet too, you know? 317 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,400 Well, this is kind of what we knew we wanted to do from the 318 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,000 very get go. But it's hard to transition it 319 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,480 because I was so involved and I was like, we were just in 320 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,760 everything together. And now we're both just like 321 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,680 doing everything together, but like, separately. 322 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:19,920 Yeah, but I feel like I'm, I'm very grateful for the fact that 323 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,360 we've created a life in which I can go and focus on my strong 324 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,280 suit and you can go and focus on your strong suit. 325 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,120 And we can both divide and conquer, so to speak. 326 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,920 And I mean, a lot of people, nothing against it, but like 327 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,440 they are in a situation life where they have to send their 328 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,840 kids to daycare and they're just at daycare for 810 hours of the 329 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,880 day. And I mean, Rigel's with you 99% 330 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:48,600 of the time and you're there for every moment, every, every 331 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,360 highlights, every, every, everything, you know, And he 332 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,840 feels very loved. And I don't think he can put a 333 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,680 price on that. And then when I come home, you 334 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,680 know, he and I spend a ton of time together when I'm home and 335 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,960 he just soaks that up and I soak it up. 336 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040 And I think it's good for me because I can kind of step away 337 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,720 from the business and actually be present with him when I'm 338 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,200 home. And he's, he's grown a lot. 339 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:13,440 I mean, he's 2 1/2 years old now. 340 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,000 But like, the words he's learned, like he just, he knows 341 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,680 exactly what he wants. He knows what needs to happen to 342 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:23,160 get that. He's able to, like, implement 343 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,560 critical thinking. I mean, it's just pretty cool to 344 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,520 watch, you know? Yeah, it's super cool. 345 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,520 And he just, I don't know, like I'm excited to see his 346 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,720 personality start to flourish. He's super interested in all 347 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,680 things with wheels. Wheels. 348 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,000 And motors. Yeah, like he loves tractors 349 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,920 side by sides, dump trucks, excavators, motorcycles, 350 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,800 anything with wheel and motor he's all about. 351 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,400 So it's cool. It's cool. 352 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,680 I'm excited for when he gets old enough for me to be able to take 353 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,560 him hunting, take him fishing and just like, let him get 354 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,760 involved as opposed to just being a bystander and watching. 355 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760 But I actually, you know, letting him do the thing. 356 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,080 So yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited. 357 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,320 What do you think? From like a parenting 358 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,360 homeschooling, because we're going to homeschool, at least 359 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:10,080 initially. When when you start doing that? 360 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,120 I need to start talking to people about that. 361 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,920 It's a lot of people do whatever they want. 362 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,880 Some people do preschool at home, some people do 363 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,320 kindergarten. I personally, from the research 364 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,920 that I've done and a lot of just gathering more information from 365 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:33,920 other moms and people who are teachers and lead in schools and 366 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,520 things like that, the best age to actually start a sit down 367 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,520 school is at six. So Rigel would be 6 and in May 368 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,360 and then he would go into that school year as a first grader 369 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:53,920 kindergarten, whatever that is. But we'll do like, we will do 370 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,760 some. I will probably the year that 371 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,280 he's 5, I will probably start to ease him into a little bit of 372 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,440 sit down work just so I'm not like all of a sudden just like 373 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,360 saying like we're going to sit down and do the work, you know? 374 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,840 But he's already doing like a lot of reading and stuff. 375 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,360 Like we read books to him every night and he's like super 376 00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:15,080 engaged with that like. He does love books. 377 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,360 He loves to read, yeah. He loves that. 378 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,840 So yeah, I'm excited about, I'm excited about all that stuff. 379 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,000 Having a kiddo is the best thing. 380 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,600 Like, I didn't know what I would think of having a kid in the 381 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,320 beginning. It was scary to me, you know, I 382 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,160 thought it would be like a distraction, kind of same thing 383 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,400 with having a relationship. I thought it would be a 384 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,240 distraction from my goals, but like, now that I've got a kid, 385 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,840 it's like he's the highlight of my day for sure, you know? 386 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,800 So it's it's the best. It's not me anymore, it's Rigel. 387 00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:42,880 Yeah, it's definitely Rigel. He is. 388 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,920 He is the best though, for sure. And like he just, he's like a 389 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,680 puppy dog, like he loves you unconditionally. 390 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,760 And like we can get on to him and scold him for something. 391 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,400 He'll recognize that he's done wrong. 392 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,160 He'll probably do it in that couple times, see if he can test 393 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,960 this. But then like he's not mad at 394 00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:01,880 us. Like it doesn't fester or linger 395 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,760 or anything, which is. Everybody should be like a kid, 396 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,520 you know, like everybody should be like a 2 1/2 year old with 397 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,840 most things. But yeah, that's exciting. 398 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,520 We got another big thing in 2025. 399 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,080 We've got the competition that we're hosting. 400 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,160 So super excited by that. We're going to, we're building 401 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,080 up the website right now. I got like 3 different website 402 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,880 designs going out simultaneously, but we're 403 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,680 building out the website. It's going to be Natural State 404 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,040 savages.com because we're hosting it in Arkansas, which is 405 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,160 the Natural State, and it's going to be for Natural 406 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,080 competitors. So we're going to be hosting 407 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,160 that. We've already booked out the 408 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:36,920 venue. The venue's super nice. 409 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,080 I've been on the phone calls all week with polygraph examiners, 410 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,680 hair and makeup team, tanning team, judges, MCS, all that good 411 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,320 stuff. So that's coming together and 412 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,000 that will be in September of next year, 2025. 413 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,040 Greg's doing the show. Several people that are in the 414 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,920 tribe membership will be doing the show. 415 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,680 So that's going to be awesome. September 27th. 416 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,320 Also, let me break this down for you guys who don't understand 417 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,760 the way competitions work. Our friends and we could even 418 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,440 compete at this show. Actually, I don't know that you 419 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,360 could. We're not going to. 420 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,120 Right, but we could compete at this show because we are not 421 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:19,720 allowed to be judges and it so there are specific judges for 422 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,800 the federation and those judges come to judge your show. 423 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,640 So these people who are judging don't know Greg is our friend. 424 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,480 They don't know you know anything about these people. 425 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,720 They just show up to judge the competition. 426 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,840 So there's no. Bias. 427 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,760 Yeah, there's no bias in it. And you know, I feel like with 428 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,760 some people who have competed again and again and again with 429 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,600 this federation, they will get to know those people. 430 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,160 But it's really cool because like our try, like Roberts tribe 431 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,120 members, they can all come compete and they these judges 432 00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:01,040 have no idea who they are or where they're from or how they 433 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:05,000 know about the competition. They're just there to judge it. 434 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,080 And I think that's really cool. I think that that's like really 435 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,600 important to put out there because some people are like, 436 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,280 how is Greg doing the competition? 437 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,000 And like, what if he wins? Like we have nothing to do with 438 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,920 the judging. It just comes from like the 439 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,680 judges that are are brought on by this federation. 440 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,000 Yeah, and we're going all in with it, like a lot of a lot of 441 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,560 competitions are seemingly thrown together last minute. 442 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,120 There's a lot of inefficiencies, there's a lot of distraction, 443 00:22:31,120 --> 00:22:34,960 there's just a lot of noise. And like from the very get go, 444 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,640 like the websites are all kind of super dated. 445 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,640 Like we're just going all in and doing this high end from the get 446 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,960 go because I want it to be an amazing experience for the 447 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,240 competitors, for the athletes. So yeah, we're pulling out all 448 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,480 the stops. We're going to make this thing a 449 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,360 freaking, you know, knockout. So if anybody's interested in 450 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:53,600 competing, definitely look into it. 451 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,240 It's going to be September 27th of next year. 452 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,120 We're going to have. It's going to be good. 453 00:22:59,120 --> 00:23:00,440 Yeah, it's going. To be really good. 454 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,760 Your venue is awesome. Yeah, the venue is awesome. 455 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:03,920 Everything's going to be awesome. 456 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,560 So all going to be savage, but yeah, it's going to be good. 457 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:08,600 What else we get cooking next year? 458 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,520 We gots. My folks are sailing kind of 459 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,800 like you mentioned. They're set and sail in a few 460 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,480 weeks and they're going to sail to the Caribbean's in Bahamas 461 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,400 and I'm not sure where else they're going. 462 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,200 They're going to be gone for like 6 months or we're going to 463 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,920 watch their three dogs. So we're going to have a whole 464 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,480 lot more chaos in the house. Initially we made one of getting 465 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,240 three. That's true. 466 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,480 So yeah, that'll be chaotically exciting. 467 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,920 I'm excited for them. Like I'm super proud of them for 468 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,520 pursuing that and doing it. So that'll kind of have an 469 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,320 impact on us for sure, but all in a positive way. 470 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:46,120 And then what else? We got cooking. 471 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:50,120 We got you must say what we got going on. 472 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Yeah, something going on in in June. 473 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,120 In June we got something going on. 474 00:23:55,120 --> 00:24:00,960 We got another baby on the way. So Crystal is Prego. 475 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,480 Yep, at the time of this recording, 10 weeks. 11 weeks. 476 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,920 We're in our we're at the end of our first trimester. 477 00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:07,360 Yeah. So and we're going to start 478 00:24:07,360 --> 00:24:11,320 doing like last pregnancy with Rigel, we did trimester podcast 479 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,880 so we could talk about all of that so. 480 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:19,640 So far things have been the exact opposite, So it'll be 481 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,800 interesting to do these podcasts again and listen to the 482 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,880 difference in Rigel's pregnancy and this one because they're 483 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,560 just so different already. Yeah, but we're super excited 484 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,720 about it. I mean, we were thinking like we 485 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,440 plan everything and are very strategic with everything that 486 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:37,960 we do. So this was not an accident by 487 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,400 any means, but like, we were reverse engineering our life and 488 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,240 we were like, OK, if we get pregnant now, Rigel will be 489 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:47,720 three years older than his sibling. 490 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,920 And I wanted there to be a relatively close age gap. 491 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,280 Everything that we've studied shows that, you know, you want 492 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,000 to wait at least. Was it 2 years? 493 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,920 Yeah, I think, yeah, mostly you just want to like you want all 494 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:07,080 your minerals and stuff to be replenished. 495 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,840 And I did, I have done like mineral hair strand testing and 496 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,720 things like that to test for minerals, vitamins, etcetera. 497 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,880 And like actually all my stuff has been really like it. 498 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:23,000 It's looked really great since even like Rigel was six months 499 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,200 old when I did my first one. And everything has actually 500 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,200 looked really great even since then. 501 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,080 But I think that's a part of like fueling your body properly, 502 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,400 which is why we eat the way we do and why we work out and why 503 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:39,560 we do all the things. And I never, I never actually 504 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,360 darted, I never went into a deficit from months before I got 505 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:47,280 pregnant with Rigel until now. I've never been in a deficit of 506 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,080 calories and just been eating consistently good food. 507 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:56,200 But it is it is generally best for the healing of the woman's 508 00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:02,200 body physically. Also having had AC section, it's 509 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,880 best to wait a like a they have different periods of time that 510 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:12,920 they suggest that you wait between birth to conception and 511 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:14,760 yeah, there's just different things. 512 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:20,040 But yeah, usually somewhere after two years is best. 513 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,400 I think like they say up to four and then after four there's not 514 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,960 really that big of a difference. Yeah, but for me, it's like I 515 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,960 wanted like I'm 2 1/2 years older than my brother and that 516 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,400 was pretty good. But I wouldn't necessarily want 517 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,600 rides to be 6 years older than the next sibling because I want 518 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:36,640 them to be able to play together. 519 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,920 Because Rigel loves kids. Like he loves kids. 520 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,200 And like when we go to church and stuff, he just wants to play 521 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,080 with the kids. Like whenever he sees kids, he 522 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,240 wants to play with them. So go to. 523 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,000 The park and play with the kids so. 524 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,880 I want, I want to give him another kid to play with. 525 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,480 So we're super excited about that. 526 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:52,720 We don't know if it's a boring girl yet. 527 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,560 That'll be at the 20 week mark that we'll find out. 528 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,640 So a few more weeks to go until we know that, and we'll do a 529 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,200 super deep dive, kind of like we did with the trimester ones 530 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,160 previously, because we'll do that every every three months 531 00:27:07,360 --> 00:27:11,520 going forward until baby's here. But yeah, it'll be good. 532 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,080 We're excited. We're excited for sure. 533 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:13,800 You're excited. Do. 534 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,800 You think it's a boring girl? I don't know, I don't know. 535 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,280 I feel like because things are so different, it has to be a 536 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,440 girl. But in case you guys didn't 537 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,320 know, the Sykes only make boys so. 538 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,360 There's a couple girls in. Our there is a couple of girls, 539 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:30,680 but. Yeah. 540 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,480 It's a lot of boys. There's a lot of girls in your 541 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,320 family, so maybe it there. Is a lot of girls. 542 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,680 Cancel that or something, I don't know. 543 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,400 Yeah, I, I feel like they say that it comes from the guy. 544 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,960 I don't know. Who knows, but it might be a 545 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,040 girl. Yeah. 546 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,880 So that I don't know. I don't know, though. 547 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,680 I'm kind of just anticipating it being a boy, and then if it's a 548 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,000 girl, I'll be excited. I'm be excited. 549 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,000 Well, yeah, I'm anticipating it being a boy. 550 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,720 I'm excited about being a boy mom because I already am one. 551 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,160 And then but if it's a girl, it'll be like, oh, can we get 552 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,080 something different? Cool. 553 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,920 Yeah, as long as they're happy and healthy and Crystal's happy 554 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:05,320 and healthy, I'm happy and healthy. 555 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,800 So we're all good. So yeah, that's a big thing of 556 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,600 news for 2025, due end of June roughly, give or take end of 557 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,520 June. So we'll be sure and keep you 558 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,680 updated on that and what else we got cooking. 559 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,240 That's the main, that's the main thing. 560 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,240 That's the main thing for sure. Big, big pivotal moment for 561 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,880 sure. What's crazy is the last time we 562 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,960 were on the podcast, this was like the one where Rigel was 563 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,160 with us and we were like, our labs are mad, like they're 564 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,960 crazy. And it has not stopped being 565 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,160 crazy. It's it's simmered down a little 566 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,800 bit. I feel like, I feel like it's. 567 00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,480 It's definitely crazy, but it's like it's like with everything, 568 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,600 you just your perspective shifts and you just adapt and overcome, 569 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,400 you know, and that's what we'll do. 570 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,440 We'll just keep on adapting and keep on overcoming and not 571 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:57,280 sacrifice or anything that we feel strongly about and just 572 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,360 keep on rocking it, you know, so but I'm excited about I'm 573 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,880 excited about the way everything shaping up. 574 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:07,000 We got an awesome team right now with the the business, so I can 575 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,880 just let them roll with things and I have to worry about it. 576 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,680 That's huge. We got an awesome family in the 577 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,960 works that we're building up and everything's everything's good. 578 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:20,160 So as crazy as it all is, I wouldn't want anything to be 579 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:23,040 different, you know? So it's nothing but positive 580 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,240 vibes and blessings for sure. Robert might be spending a 581 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,840 little bit more time at home. I don't know. 582 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,120 It's hard. It's like he literally was like, 583 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,360 I hope, you know, I'm going to be travelling a lot and like, 584 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,200 it's probably going to be a little bit extra. 585 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,600 And I was just like, Oh my goodness, what am I gonna do? 586 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:41,760 We're gonna get a travel trailer. 587 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,400 Yeah, we're gonna, I think we're gonna have to invest in a travel 588 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,240 trailer eventually. So if anybody's got any 589 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,480 recommendations, let us know. Because we travel non-stop. 590 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,880 We do. I mean, it's kind of crazy how 591 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,680 much we travel. We do travel a ton and some 592 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,200 things like it won't make sense to have a travel trailer for, 593 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,760 you know, like it would make more sense for Robert just fly 594 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:05,360 for a weekend. But even like sometimes, yeah, 595 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,000 sometimes the conferences, like people are going for these 596 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,760 conferences on Friday and Saturday, but Robert usually 597 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,120 flies out like Thursday, doesn't come home till Monday. 598 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,480 Like it's a long time. And then I'll be home with the 599 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,160 kids and the animals and stuff, which I love. 600 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,480 But we would rather also. Be so we need to travel trailer 601 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,200 with like a freaking. That's the part of the that, 602 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,840 well, that is just like something that we'll have to 603 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,880 work through because like when we had when we got diesel, like 604 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,240 we knew like we're like diesel could come with us like that 605 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,760 would actually be good protection for us. 606 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,320 Like wherever we are, like he will have diesel and then we got 607 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,840 maybe three more, 2-3 more we're. 608 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,080 Gonna have to get a tram trailer. 609 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,040 With the chicken. Coop built in and chicken coop. 610 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,480 Yeah, see the chickens. The chickens are so easy because 611 00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,520 like they have like self waters and self feeders and we have an 612 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:58,480 automatic door that opens and closes with the sunset and the 613 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320 sunrise. And so really someone just needs 614 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,040 to go in, make sure that the doors are working properly, 615 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,840 collecting the eggs, making sure the girls are all happy. 616 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,880 They're actually pretty easy. But, you know, dogs, you can't 617 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,320 leave them like they need their people, like chickens do, too. 618 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,520 But dogs, like, need their people. 619 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,520 Chickens are like, what's up? I want to follow you around the 620 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,160 yard. Kind of. 621 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,400 Yeah, you know. Yeah, it'll be a whole other 622 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,880 level of chaos in a few more months, but I guess we'll just 623 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:28,880 take it in stride, you know, that's all we can do. 624 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,600 Yep. But yeah, nothing but positive 625 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,000 vibes. We're excited about everything. 626 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,160 2020 fives coming and bringing, grateful for 20/24. 627 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,960 What are you doing as far as like the coaching stuff that you 628 00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,880 want to talk about that at all? Focus on full time. 629 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,840 Mom can keep that on the back burner. 630 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,880 In the interim, Crystal is probably going to do the show. 631 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,760 Not this year, but maybe sometime eventually I. 632 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,520 Will have had a baby three months prior. 633 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,480 Once the baby making is done. Yeah, when we're done having 634 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,440 kids, I would love to compete again. 635 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,280 I think that that's going to be my goal. 636 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,160 And like right now my goal is just to like build as much 637 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:11,160 muscle as I can for competing again. 638 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,440 I, I hadn't known like up until, I don't know, a few months ago, 639 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,080 I think I didn't really know if I wanted to compete again. 640 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,520 But now I'm like, I definitely want to. 641 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,480 Like I think I really want to again. 642 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,920 But you know, we're going to have this one. 643 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,720 We'll see where we're at after that and. 644 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,680 And we'll talk about this in depth on the trimester podcast 645 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,320 too. But like, same as last time, 646 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,800 we're going to do, you know, crystals, full keto throughout 647 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,560 the pregnancy. Rigel's been full keto since 648 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,040 birth. And he's like literally tipping 649 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,560 the charts on all the growth metrics for everybody his age. 650 00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:44,840 Like he doesn't look like a 2 1/2 year old. 651 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,840 Like you put him next to another 2 1/2 year old, he looks like 652 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,560 he's 3 1/2. He's very tall. 653 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,960 Yeah, and I'm not very tall. So he's very tall and like 654 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,560 stout, I don't know, Just like people pick him up and they're 655 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,000 like, whoa, this boy's got some weight to him, but he's not 656 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,280 like. He's not fat at all. 657 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,320 Yeah, he's not. He's not overweight. 658 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,160 He's not like, not leading on to like being. 659 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,520 He's getting ample protein. He's getting like a lot more 660 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,080 protein than directly. I mean, I think the 661 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,160 recommendations. Are cool. 662 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,680 It's cool to see him grow and be like, wow, like, our kid is like 663 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,720 super healthy, Yeah. Because he's eating real food. 664 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,040 So yeah, definitely advocate. We don't as parents, it's very 665 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,240 easy to like fall into the trap of judging other parents and 666 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,680 we're all guilty of it. Don't ever want to do that. 667 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,320 But I would definitely advocate any parent feed their kid real 668 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,560 food. And I think it's a bad thing to 669 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,400 suggest because they're in such a pivotal, crucial time for 670 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,520 their body development, but also their brain development. 671 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,960 And if you're giving them ample fats and proteins, they're going 672 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,840 to just thrive. And I will say a lot of people 673 00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,400 were like, man, you just wait till XY or Z, the you wait till 674 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,000 Halloween, you wait till Easter, you wait till their family, your 675 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,480 family gives them this or that. And he is only 2 1/2. 676 00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,560 But I will say up until this point, it has been easy for us, 677 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:13,800 for our our family with Rigel, it has been very easy to avoid 678 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:20,639 giving him anything. He eats keto treats from time to 679 00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:23,199 time, like on special occasion like he's keto. 680 00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,199 Bricks like crazy. He does eat keto bricks like 681 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:33,080 crazy, but you know, he goes to Sunday school at church and they 682 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,679 all have snacks and it's like goldfish or whatever and. 683 00:34:36,679 --> 00:34:39,960 He picks them up and says trash. He does. 684 00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,719 He picks them up and says like trash, trash and like he'll 685 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,239 throw them away. And he has his own snack and 686 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,719 like he's happy with his snack. He doesn't really care about 687 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,480 their goldfish. Like he has his own thing that 688 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,400 he likes. So it's honestly been easy. 689 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,280 And I won't say it's going to be easy for all the kids. 690 00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,360 I won't say it's going to be easy in the coming years as he 691 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,840 gets older and like recognizes that candy aisles are a thing, 692 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,880 but I will say for the 1st 2 1/2 years of his life it's been easy 693 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,360 and so worth it. What's his favorite food right 694 00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,800 now? Steak, steak, your mom asked 695 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,960 him, what do you want to what do you want to have when you come 696 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,040 to Grammys? And he, he said steak. 697 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:21,960 Yeah. See that's we're raising him 698 00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:23,160 right. We're raising him right. 699 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,520 Gosh, funny. Boy, what else we get, babe. 700 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,160 We're having somebody watch him right now as a recording, so 701 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,800 probably go check on him. You got anything else to 702 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:37,240 highlight before we wrap it up? Had been a good year for you? 703 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,160 Yeah. Yeah, it has been a good year. 704 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,800 We have not had to travel as much and I love that. 705 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,760 Well, you've traveled a lot, but like last year was our crazy 706 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,960 travel year and this year I'm grateful to like just be home a 707 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,480 little bit more with you guys.
