The Mac & Cheese Marathon Mishap and Xmas Family Traditions

Send us Fan MailEver wondered what happens when Oregon's football team faces a tough bracket placement or how a simple dad joke can derail an intense sports debate? Join us for an episode full of surprises and laughter as we tackle the college football 12-team bracket and predict a potential Texas-Oregon semifinal showdown. The fun doesn't stop there; we lighten things up with a train joke that will have you questioning the "loco motives" behind our humor. As if that wasn't enough chaos, I recount my San Antonio Marathon experience, where digestive drama from mac and cheese balls and a missing running watch made for a memorable—not to mention amusing—race.Shifting gears from touchdowns to tinsel, we plunge into the whirlwind of Christmas traditions. Picture this: cutting down a real Christmas tree only to find the recent freeze has left slim pickings, or the balancing act of keeping Santa's magic alive as kids grow older. The holidays are a mix of joy, chaos, and kettle corn, sometimes enhanced by a little whiskey to maintain the festive spirit. I reveal my past struggles with Christmas due to work obligations but share how creating outdoor decorations with my kids has sparked a newfound love for the season. We also touch on the unique challenges of having a birthday near the holiday and the evolving nature of family traditions, hinting at a cozier, more intimate Christmas celebration with close family.Barton’s RIVIAN Referral Code: BARTON16694413Become a Premium Member of Dadbods and Dumbbells by visiting: https://dadbodsanddumbbells.supercast.com----------Follow Mitch: http://instagram.com/runwithmitchFollow Bart:  http://instagram.com/bartonguybryanFollow the Podcast:  http://instagram.com/dad_bods_and_dumbbellsVisit Mitch's website: http://Bigboysruntoo.comVisit Barton's Training Website: http://teambryanwellness.com
