We're back after a break! Brett tries to make the argument that we have worked on our podcast every month because we recorded our last episode in September, released it in October. Then we recorded this episode on the last day in November and released it on the first day of December. Josh said Brett is full of it! For the rest of the episode the dads discuss what has been keeping them busy in their families and at work. They discuss their fitness and gaming highlights - including plenty about Donkey Kong Bonanza. They end the show with a preview of a new head-to-head competition where the dads can earn points daily depending on who has the best fitness, food and gaming stats for the day.

Why did Josh and Brett wake up early to record this episode?

Brett shows up to work dressed as a six-foot human ruler, Josh is proud that Brett finally catches on to two years of ridiculous Riverside usernames, and the dads spiral into ADHD-fueled tangents about teenagers’ sketchy job choices, a scary family health update, and a curb-painting scam from Josh’s Boy Scout days.

They review Assassin’s Creed Shadows (“too big for a full-time dad”), Star Wars Outlaws (“fun but frustrating”), and their first online Mario Kart race (“one lap too short”). It’s gaming, fitness, and life — powered by soda, chaos, and questionable decisions.
