Almost Brothers Podcast
Razor Burns & Nintendo Urns
The episode takes an exciting turn when Tyler shares the stunning news from a recent ultrasound appointment. "You know there's two fetuses, right?" the technician casually announced, leaving Tyler and his wife speechless. The fraternal twins have their own placentas and strong heartbeats in the 170s, which might suggest baby girls. The guys hilariously break down the realities of raising twins, from double the diapers to double the insurance premiums, with Tyler optimistically noting it "doubles our chances of one becoming famous."
Parenting struggles take center stage as they discuss the chaotic morning rush to get kids ready for school. Despite research showing those 30 minutes before school are critically important for children, they're often the most stressful for parents. The hosts share their battles with electronics, forgotten jackets, and trying desperately not to yell before sending kids off for the day.
The conversation shifts between serious life updates and lighter fare, including Richard's nostalgic Star Wars theater experience, an upcoming Nintendo Switch purchase that "we're not going to talk about the cost of," and passionate debates about fast food superiority. Their authentic dynamic—complete with good-natured ribbing and honest confessions—reveals why listeners connect so strongly with the show.
Whether you're expecting your own little one, navigating marriage quirks, or simply enjoy authentic conversations between friends, this episode delivers relatable content wrapped in genuine laughter. Listen now and join the Almost Brothers community where nothing is off-limits and everything is discussed with heart.

Speaker 1:I was I was going through my snapchat memories and the other day came across like so I used to like post my stories, like, like interesting conversations I'd have with students, or just post about situations that happens. Well, there's one, uh, I remember I posted it was a kid, wasn't in any of my classes, but uh, I can't remember if it was a boy or girl. Anyways, I came in and they're like hey, mr wilkerson, I cut my finger, I need a band-aid. I was like, oh man, uh, you probably need to go to the nurse. And they're like but I came straight to you I said I don't know why you did that.

Speaker 2:qualified for this. They passed the nurse's office to go to the band room or like I had uh were they even in?
Speaker 1:band. No, no, I didn't have many classes just yeah, just yeah well another one of my students, I remember, came to me asking help for math.
Speaker 3:I was like I'll do my best, but don't get mad at me when it's wrong because, not a math teacher, sorry yeah oh, I lost the ability to help in math in like fifth grade with my kids it's like nope, you're above me now like you sit down with all confidence, just like, let me help you, come on, let me yeah, let me get my.
Speaker 2:I'm to get my phone out. Just to make sure let's double check our work here.
Speaker 1:When we had the girls Kalon was doing sixth grade math I was like I don't want to say you're on your own, but I'm not going to be any help.
Speaker 3:And I can help with most any subject except math. I have never, ever been good at math.
Speaker 2:Just numbers are not my friend, or you help them and then they come back from school and they got like an F on that paper that you helped them with. It's like yeah, I'm sorry that's my bad. I should have told you I didn't really know what I was doing.
Speaker 1:Well, it's like math is one of those. Like you can't, abraham Lincoln's always. What was he? The 16th president?
Speaker 3:or something like that. He's always going to be a 16th president, right? The sun is always going to be a star. Okay, I don't know. Pluto's no longer a planet. They kicked him out of the solar system, you know?
Speaker 1:get out of here, go sit at your own table you take, you know any, just regular math problem. Okay, the answer will change if you put parentheses in there.
Speaker 3:Right, right, like well, they had that when my kids were younger. They had that whole common core math for a little while oh, it's brutal it was so stupid, yeah, and
Speaker 2:it's like, hey, we're gonna make something that's already challenging even more challenging how about that?
Speaker 3:that's gonna be a good thing.
Speaker 2:Let's do that like the plan and it seems like math and science which science is always changing because we're discovering more things every day. But why is math always changing? It should be kind of pretty absolute and it's like oh well, you know how you used to do it this way, now we do it this way and we're going to get to the same answer, but differently, right? It's like why?
Speaker 3:why? What is wrong with the way we were doing? Because, richard, that's the reason, that's exactly right yeah well there's.
Speaker 1:There's nothing, at least, that I can think of in the real world where those new ways are more practical than just simple.
Speaker 2:Two plus two is four, yeah yeah like I don't have time to sit down with a whole piece of paper to figure out one problem like no and they did when they first switched to common core math.
Speaker 3:They sit a worksheets home with for the parents yeah, to learn how to relearn
Speaker 1:how to do it. No, yeah, I refuse. Sorry, I graduated already. Yeah, no thanks, send it back, I already graduated. No thanks, I've got a college degree in music.
Speaker 2:I do now this episode is not brought to you by Common Core Math.
Speaker 3:It's not. It's not at all.
Speaker 2:But we wanted to just jump on here today and this episode is just going to be talking about life, yes, about how things are going, about how your life is going, about some things that you're getting into or getting out of. It's a lot.
Speaker 3:So first.
Speaker 1:I want to start by this. I was mad this morning oh, we don't care, that's right I didn't mean it.

Speaker 3:feel sometimes, but that's one of them, yep I would like to not yell at my kids as much yeah, especially before school. Yeah, I read a study one time. They said the it wasn't a study, it was a thing anyway, doesn't matter the like. The 30 minutes before school and 30 minutes after school are like the kids is most important times of the day, because they're dealing with going to school and then they're dealing with what happened at school.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's usually the worst time for parents, because it's the most hectic. You're getting them ready or you're trying to get them settled back in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they won't listen and they won't get dressed and they're wearing clothes that they're not supposed to be wearing or they left clothes at school and yeah, yeah, where's your jacket. Uh, it's school. Why is it at school?

Now okay hey, whatever the chance was, it's double zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, one percent.
Speaker 2:Well, now it's point zero, two percent baby.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, mba, that's funny, that's awesome, and still don't know, still don't know the, the sex of the baby we think they're gonna be girls.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just because well, I think so.

Speaker 3:Their heartbeats are at 170 something yeah, I did not know that that was a thing hey that's one of them advancements since I had and if I understand correctly back in here if I understand correctly, um, they said they won't be identical because they will have their own placentas
Speaker 2:yeah, that's what that's what the solo b, what's it called um fraternal, fraternal, fraternal twins yeah yep, I'm glad they're not identical.
Speaker 3:Identical twins messed me up. They freaked me out.

Speaker 3:There is a difference.
Speaker 2:Yes, there is Okay a difference. Yes, there is okay. A geek is so, richard, how's your day going? A geek is someone who likes geeky stuff, like star trek and stuff like that, which is me, I'll take that. A nerd is someone who likes nerdy stuff, who, like, wears glasses and a pocket protector.

Speaker 2:I don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 3:Okay, let's not talk about that.
Speaker 2:The podcast let's not talk about that I didn't have to pay for it all at once, so that's what's good about the pre-orders, you pay.
Speaker 2:The question you pay on your way you know, you, you pay as you go a little layaway yeah, we're still talking about this yeah. So how much was it? It's it's, well, it depends. Oh no, I asked how much you pay. It depends, well, it depends. No, it doesn't. Would you like the answer? Sure, then shut up, it depends. Mute your mic. I have stuff I'm trading in, so out of pocket, I'm not gonna have to pay very much once I trade in my games the stuff I've already got gotcha yeah, so.
Speaker 3:I want a. Blackstone grill.
Speaker 2:Same yeah, right there with you I was looking at them at Walmart today.
Speaker 3:They're a little too expensive though, so probably not going to get one. I want one. Yeah, I do too.
Speaker 2:So if Blackstone is listening, If you would like to sponsor the podcast Blackstone, we would love. We will cook and'll test out your product. That's exactly right 100. We are going to start doing a segment that's called taste test no, we're not.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, you're gonna start.
Speaker 2:We're gonna start doing, you're gonna new things on the show, to where maybe it's something that none of us have tried, maybe it's something that one of us has tried that none of the other two have tried. So we're gonna start doing a segment called taste test yeah, as long as it's not something stupid. No, it'll be no, no it'll be nothing disgusting, it'll just be like normal food.
Speaker 3:That we maybe have not had I've always saw those, uh, the boxes that you can get on facebook that are like from different countries I've always wanted to do that, but it's's kind of expensive. Yeah, you know it's got all the different snacks from different countries and stuff. I thought that'd be cool.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, hmm I watched uh, I watched a dude, perfect video where they're at, the one of the guys is blindfolded and he had to, and he was doing like a french fry test, like he had to, you know, eat one and guess where it came from, like the restaurant.
Speaker 2:That'd be fun too.
Speaker 1:We could do that, yeah, like his initial, like total.
Speaker 3:Before he was, like you know, switch a couple 13 out of 15 wow, pretty good, he knows his fries like legit that's I put a post up on facebook yesterday asking people's favorite nuggets yes yeah, mine was wendy's, because I was eating when wendy's nugs yeah, they're really good.
Speaker 2:Next freaking level that would be something that would be good too is we could do that we could do, do the blindfolded and just do nuggets from I was surprised at how many people like the mcnuggets more, really, because I do not like. I like them, I don't but I even like burger kings better than yeah, mcdonald's, I think chick-fil-a's are superior.
Speaker 1:See, I agree I unpopular opinion.
Speaker 3:I am not a fan of chick-fil-a. He's stupid, he doesn't it's why I gotta be stupid, because I like something different. You're not stupid for liking star wars. Yes, you are, never mind I'm about to say.
Speaker 3:You say that all the time this is the almost brothers and one white guy podcast so anyway, yeah, I'm just not a fan of, uh, chick-fil-a we could do that that'd be good, and then we'll do burgers and do yeah man expensive, not too bad yeah man, I love the mcdonald's triple cheese I had. Why did we start talking about food anyway?
Speaker 3:yeah, I went to uh smash burgers man at sonic brooklyn, arkansas yeah so we're by jonesboro you're it's good they got a new mcdonald's there and is the best m the best McDonald's I've ever eaten at. I got a double quarter pound of cheese with a little mac sauce. I mean it was hot and fresh. The fries were hot and fresh. It was phenomenal.
Speaker 2:It's a double quarter pound. That's too much meat for me.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I like their triple cheeseburger too.
Speaker 2:That's the perfect amount.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that it's my go-to order always, so I always it's my go-to order, is always so. I go through the app, always get the, because I've always got a bunch of points. I always get the free, uh, mcchicken yeah 1500 points I usually it's 1500 points. I normally have between six and ten thousand points. Um, so I get that free and then I'll get, uh, the five dollar McDcdouble meal yeah doubles are good.
