This is undaunted life a man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.

0:27.1

Brad Gleyn, welcome to the studio, man. Man, I'm glad to be here today.

0:30.4

You're a cypher sore eyes. I will just tell you right from the beginning. That is the most

0:34.0

substantial mustache we've ever had at this table. There have been other mustaches, but you have the gold medal. I just don't currently have it on me. So what's,

0:40.7

what's up with this? How long has this been going on? Like, that's a good look.

0:44.0

Man, this has been going on for several years. I had a full beard and I decided that I was going

0:49.6

to, my brother and sister-in-law's got a beard company and I was like, hey, bring me some mustache wax.

0:57.2

And my wife was like, you're not doing this.

0:59.5

What is the wrong with you doing?

1:00.5

I'm not kissing that?

1:01.5

I was like, yeah, let's do it.

1:03.0

1:32.8

it's, uh, that's where that's at. Well, at this point, you might need, like, hedge clippers or

1:36.6

something like that to get that all taken care of, but like, uh, one of the things that I'm just thrilled to have. And again, we're a donation-based ministry. So every time I talk to you guys out there about our donations, like, that's how we're able to do stuff like this. So turning this forging table setup into a three-camera setup, it allows us to have more people in studio. Because you and I connected like six months ago, because I just reached out cold because I saw a clip of you online. I was like, hey, we should chat and we had talked about, you know, doing something online and whatever, but then we

2:04.2

build out the studio and you were going to be in Oklahoma City. And so it's like, okay, we just

2:07.8

got to have you in studio. So what are you doing in Oklahoma City? Because you're normally out I was supposed to come up here for a show, and then the show, we decided to back out of the show at last minutes.
