In this candid and nostalgic episode of Serving Sundays, hosts Dave Wheeler and Candace Rae dive deep into the emotional journey of hanging up the skates. Dave officially announces his retirement from hockey, a sport that has defined much of his life since childhood.

The conversation travels from the early days of dreams being cut short by an eye injury at 18, to a resilient pivot into sports broadcasting and coaching. Dave shares humorous and heartfelt stories from his time in Mexico, including a ill-fated attempt to bring hockey to the Yucatan Peninsula. The duo reflects on the inevitable "acceptance phase" of life, the transition from being the star of the show to sitting in the backseat for their children, and the shift from high-stakes gambling to the simple joys of a family mental health day. It’s a reflection on closing old doors to make room for new, "awesome" adventures.

In this week’s episode of Serving Sundays, Dave and Candace kick things off with a trip down memory lane, revisiting the golden era of wrestling and the "choreographed reality" of childhood heroes like Rick Rude. This nostalgia sparks a deeper conversation about the current state of media, from the pressures of content creation to the "AI slop" filling up news feeds, and why Candace is curating her social media for peace of mind rather than engagement.

The conversation takes a serious turn as the duo touches on the release of the Epstein files, discussing the frustration of justice delayed and why focusing on your immediate community is the best remedy for world-weariness. Finally, Candace opens up about a harrowing experience witnessing a car accident earlier in the week. She shares how the trauma of that moment shifted her perspective, leading to a profound realization about the vital role of first responders and the importance of the episode's titular mantra: stop living in the past or worrying about the future, and just "be where your feet are."

In this episode of Serving Sundays, Dave Wheeler and Candace Rae kick things off with a trip down memory lane, mourning the loss of the video store rental ritual and debating the charm of 90s home decor versus modern monochrome aesthetics. The conversation shifts from vintage curtains and green fridges to the evolution of technology, touching on the convenience of robot lawnmowers and the influence of MrBeast on the younger generation.

The duo then dives into the core topic: The Metabolic Reset. Dave commits to a 28-day "system reboot" in February consisting strictly of meat, cheese, and eggs, inspired by Dr. Vaughn White and Dr. Martin. Candace weighs the pros and cons of joining him while navigating her strict diet for an upcoming fitness competition, leading to a candid discussion on inflammation, modern healthcare, and taking personal responsibility for wellness.

On this week’s episode of Serving Sunday's, the pressure is on! Candace is officially starting her competition "cut," which means Dave has been demoted from gym partner to full-time chef. We kick things off debating the hilarious difference between men and women getting ready (5 minutes vs. 40 minutes?!) and give some major love to the sponsors fueling Candace’s journey: Maxim Realty, Overtime Fitness, and Fancy Infusion.

Then, we get into it. Candace goes off on a passionate rant about the lack of customer service in big box stores—is expecting a simple "hello" too much to ask? Dave shares a classic story about his dad, and the ultimate "I’ll take my business elsewhere" move.

Finally, we take a sharp turn into geopolitics, global protests, and the race for the Arctic, before asking the big questions: Is Elon Musk our only hope? And are rhinoceroses actually just fat unicorns?

Dave and Candace kick off the first show of 2026 feeling the burn after a brutal leg day and posing session, leading to a realization that despite being born in the 1900s, they can still hang with the younger generation. The couple recaps their New Year’s Eve at a Western-themed murder mystery party at Falcon Lake, where Dave went full investigator mode and Candace took home a prize.

The conversation takes a deep dive into the strange world of Artificial Intelligence. Dave shares two mind-blowing AI discoveries: one involving deciphering the complex language of crows (and the grudges they hold), and another analyzing the Shroud of Turin, which suggests a massive energy surge created the image.

On the home front, the stakes are high as Candace is entrusted with babysitting her uncle’s prized 10-year-old orchid—currently residing in a Chapman’s ice cream pail—while Dave prepares to use AI to help him finally quit nicotine. Finally, things get serious as they discuss the recent regime change in Venezuela before lightening the mood with some nostalgia regarding Anthony Hopkins and 90s cinema.

This week on Serving Sundays: is it a "Wind Chill" or a "Windshield" factor? Candace isn't entirely sure, but she is sure about her attire, broadcasting comfortably in her robe while Dave stays formal in a tie.

The couple discusses the confusing judging criteria of fitness competitions, the reality of working 12-hour shifts, and the thrill of finding high-end gym gear at the thrift store.
