92. Thunderstorm Camping, Middle Aged Friendships, and Boomer Dad Remote Complexity

WE ARE BACK AFTER A HIATUS! I start the episode walking back the minimizing 3 kid parenting last year. Spoiler Alert: 3 kids are hard BRAH. I then share a camping anecdoate of bougie camping which turned into a terrifying situation! I discuss the manner in which friendships evolve in your late 30s/40s are much more complex and heavy than your youth. I quickly share the conflict that comes up when listening to R.Kelly and Michael Jackson. * Hammer rants: 1. 3 year olds are the hardest 2. Boomer tv remotes 3. Drivers seat preferences 4. Tennis>Golf 5. More drinking, less booze 6. Peter Pan deplorables 7. Mcdonalds drive thru delays 8. Solicitors are not acceptable 9. Weekday diner dining 10. Boy poop 11. Kid toy conflict

91. Guest- Jeff Khadavi- Private Jets, Warren Buffett, Tik Tok + Persian Red

* In my introduction I talk about why as a 40 something year old dad, spring isnt so bad. (0:00-6:12) * I welcome in long-time friend and successful entrepreneuer, Jeff Khadavi , who first shares some key parenting hacks for couples with young kids to keep sanity. We then discuss how Jeff had us groomsmen do a choreographed dance for his wedding in 2015 and rehearse at his bachelor party in Jamaica. * We dive into a passionate area for Jeff(personal finance) and we discuss a great basic investing strategy, 529 plans, long-term savings, and the immense cost of college especailly for our kids in the next 10-15 years. (6:16-38:20) * After a break we discuss Tik tok, the bougie friends on our "Jackals" text thread, and then POLITICS * He challenges me on AOC and I challenge him on the "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" position that I feel many hide behind. * I question the alignment of Persians with Trump and state my case as to why it doesn't make a lot of sense in the context of the overall voter base. * Then we get into some lighter topics- we discuss the underrated movie of "The Bronx Tale" from the 1990s, and pivot to the New York Knicks where we share who set the Knicks back and zapped the life out of our fandom for a good while. (38:24-1:07:32) * After one last break we discuss parenting and the dynamics of challenges of multiple kids. I express how adding a dog first was the MOST jarring even ahead of 0 to 1, 1 to 2, or 2 to 3 kids.(1:07:36-1:16:49) * Hammer Rants: Chinese Food; Landscaping Blackouts; "12 year olds"; iPhone in parking spots(1:16:53-1:25:31)
