“No Award For That”
I found myself on a brutal run the other day, pushing hard to set a new PR on a bridge here in Charleston (The Ravenel if you’re familiar).
My heart rate was maxed out, redlining at 182bpm. Then Trophies by Drake kicked in at just the right moment.
There's a line where he says:
"I'm just tryna stay alive and take care of my people
And they don't have no award for that
Shit don't come with trophies
Ain't no envelopes to open."
In that moment, it hit me—this line is dad life.
As soon as you become a dad, everything shifts. It’s no longer about us; it's about taking care of our people. And to do that, we’ve gotta take care of ourselves too.
No trophies, no awards, just the quiet satisfaction of showing up every day.
So, next time you need a push during a workout, throw on Trophies by Drake. Just, uh…maybe don’t play it in front of the kids.
Jason Momoa
This Aquaman star might look like a superhero, but his favorite role? Girl dad. Jason Momoa’s adventures with his kids, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, are the stuff of legends. From rock climbing to spear-throwing, his parenting style is all about embracing the wild and teaching his kids the importance of respecting nature. For Jason, fatherhood is about more than just providing—it’s about passing on values that last a lifetime.
Jason wants his kids to know that nature is their playground but also something they have a responsibility to protect. “I want them to love the world as much as I do and to be the kind of people who make it better,” he says.
What makes him a badass dad isn’t just his brawn or outdoor skills—it’s his heart. He’s a dedicated, hands-on dad who shows up for school plays, cheerleading practices, and everything in between. While he might be Aquaman on-screen, at home, he’s just “Pops,” the dad who brings a bit of adventure to every day. Follow Jason’s wild dad life here for a glimpse into the world of an epic girl dad.
Endoscope Camera with Light
Don’t let the name fool you—this Endoscope Camera is not a medical device. That’s what a colonoscopy is for.
But you can hook this nifty device up to your phone, and you’ll feel like MacGyver. Suddenly, you’ve got eyes in those impossible-to-reach spots: under the car hood, down the drain, or anywhere you’ve dropped that rogue screw. It’s the tool you didn’t know you needed to tackle all those “I bet I can fix that” moments.
The Longevity Test Everyone Ignores
Feeling like you’ve got your crew — people who’ve got your back and keep you grounded—turns out to be more than just good company.
Studies show that quality social connections can actually lower your risk of heart disease by 30% and cut down your chances of dementia by half.
Here’s the wild part: loneliness can speed up aging as much as smoking a pack a day or downing six drinks. And it doesn’t stop there; feeling isolated often means we skip out on healthy habits like exercise, good sleep, and eating well.
It’s not just a mental health thing; it’s a health thing, period.
But don’t stress about making a million friends. It’s about quality over quantity. Find a few people who share your values, your humor, and your outlook. Whether it’s catching up in person or sending a quick text, those connections do more for your health than you might think.
Be Prepared For Choking Emergencies
Saw this on Instagram the other day. It’s a good reminder of what to do in the event of a choking emergency. Give it a watch here.
