Fatigue has a way of turning the volume up on everything. When we’re tired, the little stuff hits harder, our patience shrinks, and even good opportunities can start costing more than we realize. We talk honestly about what that feels like in real life, especially when the calendar is packed and you’re trying to show up as a parent, spouse, and friend while still handling responsibilities that don’t fit neatly into a normal week.

We dig into the difference between quick fixes and real recovery: why “just push through” and “just drink more coffee” usually backfire, how scheduling matters as much as sleep, and why learning to say no can be an act of wisdom, not laziness. We also get candid about dad guilt, tight budgets, and how hard it can be to create meaningful family time when even the cheap options add up. Along the way, we share what’s helping us reset, like protecting time with our wives, slowing down enough to talk, and using reading as genuine mental rest.

Then we lighten it up with a top-three superheroes draft (Captain America vs Spider-Man, plus some love for Batman, Wolverine, and more), followed by a nostalgic run through boy bands, 90s country, and the weird way music videos vanished. We even end up debating morning routines and the snooze button like it’s a real sport.
