  • As someone who has kids, the only time I can get my workout in is after they’re asleep (or before they wake up, but I’m NOT a morning person). I set up a gym in my garage because at that point, driving to a gym and back adds too much time so close to bedtime and also I’d feel weird about leaving my wife and kids alone at night.

    After Covid, I got really out of shape, and one day, I just couldn’t take it anymore and took some steps to getting back into a routine. I have a bench press I got off nextdoor for cheap, adjustable dumbbells (not so cheap but also got off nextdoor practically new for much cheaper than retail) and a treadmill I got for free. I got some gym flooring mats from Ross for ~$60. All in all maybe a $500-$600 investment. It’s been well worth it though. I feel much better and for the first time in a long time, I can stand to look at myself in the mirror. Finding the time especially as a parent is never easy, but you’ve gotta find something that works for you. We need to move our bodies. We weren’t meant to sit around all day, and frankly, I don’t think injecting yourself with these drugs is the answer to weight gain.








  • I tried to be the good guy last year. I paid for Sunday ticket so I could watch all the games. Then the playoffs come, and they put a fucking playoff game on fucking Peacock that was exclusive to Peacock. NBC wouldn’t even air it on the local affiliate. The playoffs have always been on network TV to get maximum viewing, and now they put it behind a walled garden on the worst streaming service. Fuck them. I cancelled my Sunday Ticket and will never give them another dime. I know /knew how to pirate, but again, I was trying to follow the rules, and they fucked me. Now it’s back to the seven seas.
