Transcript
00:00:04 Kevin
Hey gang, Kevin here, Life 22, and it is another day in the neighborhood.
00:00:11 Kevin
Well, it is another evening in the neighborhood.
00:00:14 Kevin
Long weekend.
00:00:16 Kevin
Missed you for the 1st of October or November, but we figured, but we caught you for the 31st of October and we figured at least catch you for the 2nd of November.
00:00:25 Kevin
So the 2nd of November,
00:00:28 Kevin
yesterday was the 1st of November, and 1st of November is the ending of Sober October and the beginning of No Shave November.
00:00:37 Kevin
So, and I always recommend people to pick whatever little tasks they'd like to do, you know, if you want to add things to your life theme for the month.
00:00:49 Kevin
So, as most of you remember, our Sober October
00:00:53 Kevin
This was my 8th year running, sober October, and completing it successfully with no cigar smoking, no cigarettes, which as most of you know that I've never touched a cigarette a day in my life.
00:01:06 Kevin
But, you know, and some people will be like, well, yeah, but you smoke cigars, tobacco's tobacco.
00:01:12 Kevin
Well, there's a little bit of a difference though, like, because you inhale it into your lungs and
00:01:16 Kevin
I don't know, there's something about it.
00:01:17 Kevin
Ever since I was a little kid, my dad used to smoke cigarettes like a chimney and it just, I don't know.
00:01:23 Kevin
But now a cigar is something else that is a little bit more respectable, right?
00:01:26 Kevin
Like, you know, you want to fight the Germans in World War II, like you smoke a nice Churchill, you deliberate, you, know, there's something a little bit more respectable about a cigar than
00:01:42 Kevin
than a cigarette, especially because you don't bring it into your lungs.
00:01:45 Kevin
You bring, you roll the smoke in your throat.
00:01:48 Kevin
You know, it is what it is.
00:01:51 Kevin
Anyways, so this year's Sober October is my last year participating in a Sober October where I will have much of A challenge.
00:02:01 Kevin
I'll still participate in Sober October.
00:02:03 Kevin
Sober October will be the theme of October.
00:02:12 Kevin
But I'm just, I'm not drinking anymore.
00:02:14 Kevin
So that's just, that's it.
00:02:17 Kevin
And you can join me on my journey, right?
00:02:19 Kevin
Like this is it.
00:02:20 Kevin
This is the journey.
00:02:21 Kevin
And you are on it.
00:02:23 Kevin
You are on it.
00:02:24 Kevin
And for most of you who are begrudgingly being here, going, damn it, why do I have to be a part of Kevin's crap?
00:02:31 Kevin
Anyways, that said, this month, it's a light month, right?
00:02:38 Kevin
It's no shave November.
00:02:40 Kevin
And so
00:02:42 Kevin
With no shave November, we don't shave.
00:02:46 Kevin
I shaved the morning of the 31st and this is what I got.
00:02:51 Kevin
So I usually do it just because it is a, it just, it becomes like unbearable by the end of November if I don't do it prior to.
00:03:01 Kevin
So
00:03:05 Kevin
Yeah, and I haven't had an active role in hunting this year, which I should have October 1st.
00:03:10 Kevin
I should have just kept my beard rolling the entire time until you get your first deer, at which point you're allowed to shave, unless it is during no shave November.
00:03:17 Kevin
So you pretty much have to get your first deer within the first 30 days if you want to try to cut this off and not have to ride through a month.
00:03:25 Kevin
But given that sober October is a pretty easy, or not sober October, no shave November is a pretty easy
00:03:33 Kevin
life theme of a month, like all you have to do is just like ignore your facial hair.
00:03:40 Kevin
I don't know why a lot of people wouldn't.
00:03:47 Kevin
I just, yeah, I just don't know why.
00:03:50 Kevin
Well, I mean, all right, I'm going down a rabbit trail.
00:03:53 Kevin
Sorry, it's been a long weekend.
00:03:56 Kevin
I've been cutting trees for two days, so and moving wood.
00:03:59 Kevin
So
00:04:03 Kevin
Sober October or No Shave November is an easy life theme for the month.
00:04:07 Kevin
And if you're looking for something a little more challenging than just like not picking up a razor, I advise that you can do anything else you'd like.
00:04:16 Kevin
You can also add other things.
00:04:19 Kevin
So like you can continue on like I am with the No Shave November or you can or the Sober October
00:04:25 Kevin
or you can build upon it.
00:04:26 Kevin
So this month, I'm not just, staying sober and not picking up a razor.
00:04:34 Kevin
I am intensifying a workout.
00:04:43 Kevin
So I am starting to do my stretches in the morning.
00:04:46 Kevin
I'm starting to do a workout every day.
00:04:49 Kevin
Every morning when I wake up, I'm stretching, I'm doing a workout, which is something that I have a tendency to do and I do great for like 6 months and then I just kind of like things get busy and hectic and I miss one morning and then it's just done.
00:05:03 Kevin
And so now I'm getting back into it and I'm just going to slowly start building and adding helpings to my plate.
00:05:10 Kevin
That and this month, I'm also adding to my diet.
00:05:15 Kevin
I'm going to start curbing.
00:05:19 Kevin
helping with the weight loss and things like that by cutting out starches and cutting out carbohydrates.
00:05:26 Kevin
I'm thinking about getting back into the Gundry diet.
00:05:28 Kevin
That always did me well.
00:05:30 Kevin
Dr.
00:05:30 Kevin
Stephen Gundry had a great diet, so I may start by just fasting.
00:05:36 Kevin
And there's like a three-day fast, and then it's like on a day, and then it's off a day, and it's cutting out legumes and things with lectin in them, pretty much strictly like cruciferous vegetables, meats,
00:05:50 Kevin
He cutting out a lot of carbohydrates, those sugars.
00:05:54 Kevin
What did he always say?
00:05:56 Kevin
He always said eating a bowl of fruit is the same as, you might as well have a bowl of Skittles.
00:06:02 Kevin
It's just, it's above and beyond any amount of sugar your body should be intaking.
00:06:09 Kevin
So, and that's kind of where I'm at with No Shave November.
00:06:14 Kevin
No Shave November, upping my workout, upping my diet,
00:06:19 Kevin
upping my workout, upping, critiquing my diet, continuing to stay sober.
00:06:24 Kevin
I may have some cigars, but that's, you know, around Thanksgiving and stuff like that when I go to meet relatives, which, you know, hey, two eats their own.
00:06:32 Kevin
And, but yeah.
00:06:36 Kevin
And that, and I want to set a little objective for myself where I'm going to put out one piece of content, at least one piece of content A day.
00:06:45 Kevin
Facebook enticed me the other day
00:06:47 Kevin
to start engaging viewers.
00:06:49 Kevin
And I don't know why, but I just like, yeah, let's engage viewers.
00:06:52 Kevin
And I don't know, it just gave me this spark of like, yeah, let's do this.
00:06:55 Kevin
And then like, you know, two days went by and I, you know, I just rattled out a whole bunch of videos on Halloween night and all of a sudden I'm.
00:07:04 Kevin
But if I put out one piece of content a day, I think I will be in good shape.
00:07:10 Kevin
And to make my wife happy, I probably should continue to
00:07:13 Kevin
to not drag *** on posting pictures of places we've been with the kids.
00:07:19 Kevin
And I have a whole bunch of pictures from the last like 2 months.
00:07:22 Kevin
I'm probably just going to create separate Facebook posts for all that nonsense and just be like, here we go, guys, just phone dump and just creating a separate post for each one of them just so I can at least say I did it.
00:07:33 Kevin
And at least moving forward, I can do a better job of taking photos and then immediately uploading them just to do my part.
00:07:42 Kevin
So that said, guys, hopefully your sober October went well.
00:07:45 Kevin
Hopefully your no shave November will go well.
00:07:47 Kevin
Let us know in the comments below if you're going to add anything to it.
00:07:52 Kevin

00:08:00 Kevin

00:08:01 Kevin
It is not Monday.
00:08:02 Kevin
It is Tuesday of this coming week.
00:08:05 Kevin
And then we have veteran's day and then we have the Thanksgiving holiday.
00:08:09 Kevin
And all this stuff is just a great
00:08:12 Kevin
It's just an overall great month.
00:08:14 Kevin
November's a great month.
00:08:17 Kevin
So I was going to start naming like cool things, people's birthdays.
00:08:23 Kevin
And then I started thinking about all the other sad things that happened in November.
00:08:27 Kevin
