156 - Funerals at 40: A Conversation About When We’re Gone


Listen Later

After the passing of someone close to Ridge — and around the anniversary of Shelby’s father’s death — the topic turns to legacy. Ridge realizes he’s now the same age Shelby’s dad was when he passed: forty years old. That realization changes the way you think.

What would you want your family to know if you weren’t here tomorrow?

Ridge talks honestly about stress, responsibility, and how he can be grumpy at times — but how deeply he loves his wife and kids. The guys reflect on the weight men carry and how hard it can be to smile through it all. Shelby shares simple advice for those left behind: carry on. Keep going. Prosper.

They even manage to lighten the mood with a quick detour into Hoarders — because that’s life. Heavy and strange at the same time.
