Top 3 Song Lyrics:

3: wreck, Ben Rector

'Cause you wrecked my world in a beautiful way

And I kinda thought that l'd always stay the same

But I heard that healthy things grow

And growing things change, yeah

Yeah, you wrecked my world in the most beautiful way

2: head full of doubt / road full of promise, Avett Brothers

There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light

In the fine print they tell me what's wrong and what's right

And it comes in black and it comes in white

And I'm frightened by those that don't see it

When nothing is owed or deserved or expected

And your life doesn't change by the man that's elected

If you're loved by someone, you're never rejected

Decide what to be and go be it

1: dare you to move, Switchfoot

Maybe redemption has stories to tell

Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell

Where can you run to, escape from yourself?

Where you gonna go?

Where you gonna go?

Salvation is here

I dare you to move

Honorable Mention:

Amen, Frank Foster

Well I'm country as a cricket

On the creek bank in the shade

Son I'm down home like a gospel song on a hymn book page

Grillz by Nelly

Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel

One by Metallica

Pass the mic by Beastie Boys

Stressed out by 21 Pilots

Good Word: Lyrics

O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 Out of the mouth of babies and infants,you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

194: Matt is back in Trussell Media Studio and he is as grumpy! As a combat Marine veteran, he gives his take on the stolen valor claims against Democratic VP candidate Tim Walz. Matt also gives his opinion on Walz's retirement rank issues. We think you will be surprised with the direction the conversation goes

Chet then uses CNN as a source to cover major legislation that Walz signed as Governor of Minnesota. In this analysis, we find some common ground with Walz on child tax credits. We find major disagreements with his affirming care and "early childhood development" legislation, which is one of the most liberal in the US.

https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/08/07/politics/minnesota-governor-walz-progressive-policies

The conversation then turns to the top 3 people with "Rizz". Chet is confused as to what that even is, but he participates anyway.

Top 3 Rizz: 3. John Mayer 2. Craig Fergison 1. Jerry Seinfeld, Travis Kelce, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan Gossling, Jack Nicholson, Jeff Goldbloom,

Matt closes us out with a good word "Golden Rule" from Matthew 7:12 Do unto others as you would have them do to you!

Special guest host, Chris Broughton is still with us!

we share our thoughts on the current state of the election. How did Harris get to be the nominee without a single primary vote? Trump survived! Biden has faded away. Is the Supreme Court going to be stacked? Was there a back-door coup? How did the media turn to love Harris so quickly? Boarder Czar lies! Is Trump out of the woods? Not if Raskin has anything to say about it. He's talking about Section 3 of the 14th amendment.

After the serious discussion, the guys get nostalgic talking about Blockbluster and pizza nights and shopping for toys. All of these memories were brought up from the Top 3 list.

Top 3 Companies that have gone out of business that have had the most impact on you: Sears, Warren Theaters, Remington Firearms, Toys-R-Us, Kmart, Radio Shack, Blockbuster Video, Moon's

Join us as we take a break from our normal format and dig into being a better father. This is something that has been on our mind since we have 10 kids represented in the 3 dads on our podcast! We will be skipping the normal three segments (What's on your mind, top 3, and a good word) and we will be talking about traits and characteristics of being a good father. We are using this article 23 Qualities of a Good Father - Traits & Characteristics written by Jeff Campbell from newmiddleclassdad.com. The plan is to cover about 3 qualities per episode. Since the ages of our kids are spread between 20 and 5, we'll have some insight that will help all of our listeners!

This Week:

22. Understand the balance of smothering/helicoptering over them and keeping them safe 23. Limit their time on technology **Links**
