Back Nines, Bedtimes, & Bourbon: Unscripted

Sometimes the best conversations aren’t planned.

In this episode, we go off script and address a few things that have been building—starting with a troll in our Facebook comments. Instead of ignoring it, we break it down and use it as a jumping-off point for a bigger conversation about criticism, accountability, and the difference between talking and actually doing.

We also get into the reality of modern parenting—specifically club sports and the pressure to keep kids constantly busy. Are we setting them up for success, or burning them out? And more importantly, why it’s not only okay—but necessary—to tell your kids “no” sometimes.

From there, we talk about priorities at home. Putting your spouse first isn’t selfish—it’s foundational. Strong relationships build strong families, and that starts at the top.

We wrap things up by calling out a hard truth: a lot of people are quick to complain about their lives on social media, but slow to take real steps to improve them. We’re not here to attack—we’re here to challenge.

No script. No filter. Just real conversation.
