Missed weeks, messy schedules, and a jury duty spiral set the stage for a catch-up that feels like real life: imperfect, funny, and unexpectedly honest. We own the delays, laugh at the chaos, and then pivot into the good stuff—two family weddings that brought everyone together, a couple of surprise listeners we didn’t know we had, and a renewed push on health goals that might actually stick this time.

We dig into a 36-hour fast, the psychology of accountability, and why simple metrics beat complicated plans. There’s a side-bet tracked on Apple Watches, a debate about water weight and real progress, and the looming test of Thanksgiving plates. Then we shift gears to joy: an overnight fishing plan at Santa Ana River Lakes with headlamps, glow gear, and a line that starts two hours before sundown. It’s a reminder that micro-adventures fit between work and family if you plan just enough.

Our Black Friday list leans practical and fun: an upholstery cleaner that heats, a retro handheld loaded with 40,000 games for road trips, and job-ready iPads with tough cases. We map out a food review of a San Gabriel ramen spot where you choose your spice and numbness, plus a pastor stand that demands a taco-first taste test. Along the way, we talk garage wisdom—extractor sockets that save mangled bolts, clamp extenders for tight reaches, and the satisfaction of having the right tool at the right time. We wrap with gratitude, a plan to show up more regularly, and an invite to join us for the next round—tacos, laughs, and a little progress.

If you had fun here, follow the show, share it with a friend, and drop a review with your best local taco spot or tool recommendation. We’ll shout out our favorites on the next episode.
