- 9: Thoughts On “Pokémon Let’s Go: Eevee” 🎙
I’ve never been much of a fan of the Pokémon series of games, cartoons, lore, etc, but Pokémon Let’s Go on the Nintendo Switch has changed that. I absolutely love this game and have a new found interest in the world of Pokémon.
0 min - 8: An Opportunity For Creativity 🎙
When Matt Becker decided to leave the Four Brewers podcast, we, the remaining members of the show, decided to take a bit of a break to regroup, and I decided to use the break as an opportunity to be more creative. Today, I talk about using my iPad Pro as more of a tool than a toy, getting back to making more videos, and the future of the Four Brewers podcast.

It’s almost November 6, so don’t forget to vote! Until then, let’s pause for a moment and talk more about video games, specifically on Xbox One and iOS.
0 min - 5: Apple Watch Changed My Life
Today, I wanted to talk about how the Apple Watch Series 3 motivated me to start running and ultimately lose 78 pounds.
Here are my notes for this episode.
Apple Watch
Series 2
- Never used the workout stuff on the watch- Wore it off and on- Watch has slow performanceSeries 3
- Bought it for cellular–really cool–much faster performance, streaming music- Got into Nike shoes through Gary Vee and saw Casey Neistat always raving about running.- Downloaded Nike’s running app, Nike Run Club- First run on Oct 4, 2017: 1.6 miles in 20 minutes–I was dead- Weighed 256 pounds that morning- Decided to try to stick with running- Decided to make effort to close the Apple Watch ringsRunning
- Really, really sucked at first- Switch between treadmill and outdoors- Could not run one mile on the treadmill or outdoors without walking- First few runs were guided runs with Nike Run Club app, just with my watch, and AirPods, no cell phone- Learned from the second guided run that I wasn’t racing with anyone but myself, to listen to my body, and that there was no shame in slowing down or walking- Began running from my home to the track nearby and did laps. Was very difficult to run back home since it was uphill- Had a couple of injuries that made me stop for a week or two, but kept at it- Changed diet: stop eating lunch at work because I was never really hungry and would generally only eat because my partner at work ate. Now that I work alone, I still take my lunch break, but don’t eat unless I’m hungry.- Running got easier over time.- I ran longer distances: 8.3 miles was the longest. Was up to 35 miles/week- People started to notice dramatic weight loss, asked me if I was sick (a coworker recently passed away due to pancreatic cancer and he also had dramatically lost weight)Conclusion
- Never gave up- Was honest with myself- Stuck with the diet- Kept running- Weight is staying off- Credit to Apple and the Watch, but I was my main motivator.0 min - 4: Following Up On Xbox One S, and iPhone XS Max!
On today’s episode, I talk about that how things have been going with my new Xbox, streaming on Twitch, the new Apple Watch Series 4, and the new iPhone XS Max.

- 1: Testing?
My first microcast. Recorded with my iPhone 7 Plus as a test. I like the Auphonic integration a lot. Makes me want to buy an iOS microphone, though. Maybe I’ll just stick with my recording equipment in my studio for now…
Today, I talk about getting organized.
