 I'm gonna give you those so Michael doesn't. Do they pop? I don't think they pop. Whoa, what's in here? So, and mama, you come over here. Welcome to the studio. It's teardown day. Remember, it was about a month ago, we talked about this. Thanks for your patience, but runner's knee, I can't run right now. It means I have a little more time in my day, which means it's time to clean up the studio, tear things down. It's kind of sad actually to see a changing of the guard here with respect to the feel and the overall vibe that's going on here in the studio. So the goal today is to take everything out and clean up the walls, take, it's crazy, but I think we're gonna, right down here, we're gonna take out this shelf and move the fridge. There's actually a fridge down here with some stickers on it. We're gonna move all this out and see what we can do. Take down these pads. Sadly, we're gonna take down the banner as well. Don't worry, we'll be saving that forever, but that's the goal. Let's get to it. I think first, we're gonna get some of this camera equipment out here. There we go. Get tripod out here. And I almost forgot to mention the dad shoes are on their way. Just got a text message from DHL. This is exciting, everybody. All right. Okay. And a shout out to Hoka and Soccany for sending me these shoes. So here's the deal, everyone. As I mentioned yesterday, the runner's knee, it's coming along. It's feeling much, much better. So these are two shoes that need to be run in sooner rather than later for my first impression. But for now, we're gonna put them outside here. So just so you all know, we've got the medals from elementary school, middle school and high school. This is the medals box. Oh, I keep all my medals from yesterday. I'll put them up on a display case. But for now, this new balance box is actually from high school. So this box is about 15 years old. And there is the box with all of the bib numbers. These are not all, these are probably, well, how far back does this go? Probably three or four years. I have more inside in the house, but these are like for the World Mountain Running Championships, New York City. Again, someday I'll get these organized in a more beautiful fashion. Okay, that goes out here. Okay, you all know what these are. Oh yeah, look at that. The next percent and the four percent. All right, gonna save these forever. So many great shoes, so many great shoes. They're not quite done with the shoes yet, but I need to make more space above me. So the old medals are coming down, or trophies I should say. So Pikes Peak Ascent, baby. Second place, 2019. So I gotta find a home for that. Third place, Pikes Peak Ascent. Which one, which design do you like better? Anybody, anybody? I'm kind of torn, frankly, I like them both. Regards from Switzerland. These are from Switzerland, hello. New balance in the house. New balance in the house. Oh, these are sweet. Oh yeah, that's a good shoe right there. I see a Hoka box. Okay, that was really, that's well. Oh my. Solomon's in a Hoka box, I love it. Thank you, Paul. Thank you, Paul. Remember when we put this up for sound? I'm not taking it all down, but a little bit, a little bit. Oh, still good. We'll put this back up somewhere. Does anybody need a hat? Let me know. I got some hats. Shout out to everyone that has sent me hats. Oh my goodness, look at that. Oh, my original, this is my original running hat. It wasn't green, it was white from the North Face. Loved this hat, loved it, loved it. We're doing it, we're doing it. Kind of crazy, look at the shooty-o. It's cleaning up nice, feels weird actually with everything off, you know, the acoustics change. It's a little more echo in here, so just something to keep in mind for moving forward with the design, okay, next big step, but I don't know if I have the tools for it actually, is this shelf, I hate to see it go, but in order to open up as much space as possible in here, I'm either gonna take the shelf completely out or cut it right about here, right where my hand is, because what we're doing is we're trying to open up the space to create a backdrop for all of the videos moving forward. I think you're gonna like the backdrop a lot that we chose and yeah, so that's the next step, is this shelf, but I might need to get a saw somehow because I don't really have power saws here in the shooty-o. Do I have a box? We've got boxes, we definitely have boxes. All right, time to clear all this out. Oh, here is the, to weigh all the shoes and this is the rotator for all of the running shoe review videos where the shoes are spinning around, okay, those are gonna go safely in here. Uncle Troy, how you doing, sir? Doing well, doing well, just getting things done on this fine day and calling to inquire about some power tools. So I'm in the shooty-o and I'm actually redesigning the shooty-o. Yeah, we're putting up, whether you, yeah, that's right. All right, me. All right, sounds good, thank you, sir. You bet, man. We'll catch you later. Okay, bye. Bye. Oh, Michael. Pause, did it break? Pause, pause, glass. We're just gonna have a treat. Let's get a treat. And remember what we were talking about? Oh, Michael, we almost lost a light come over here, come over here. Boys, remember what we were talking about yesterday? And Joseph, you come over here about allowance and saving money and pinching pennies and working hard and doing everything with excellence. So he's okay. Bottom line is we're back, everyone, allowance, saving, pinching pennies, and therefore I decided to get one Christmas present for Papa. It's in this box. I'm calling these my dad shoes, my Papa shoes, all right? And I think you're gonna like the colors, okay? And, mama, as soon as I open, I'm gonna give you these, I'm gonna give you those. So Michael doesn't, do they pop? I don't think they pop. Whoa, what's in here? So, and, mama, you come over here. Here we go, boom, there's the black box. Butter, mom, bread, open those. Oh! Green Air Maxes, hold them up for the camera, Joseph. That's incredible. Isn't that cool? Oh, oh. So it's, it's air, Air Maxes. Okay, dad. Are they a little crazy? They're a little street cred right there. These are my new dad shoes, new dad shoes. Right, isn't that fun? I love them, it looks like you're walking on the moon. Basically it's, that's the cushion, the air is the cushion. That's amazing. So anyway, work hard, pinch pennies, save money, earn allowance, Joseph, and you can buy things that you want to. Whoa. Hey-oh. Look at the bottom. Isn't that fun? Right there. Oh, this is cool. Right there. Oh my gosh. Oh, those are pretty sweet. So I will tell you more, I will tell you more about the shoes out in the shooty-o about where I bought them. They are Stock X Verified. Here we go. We've got tools, everybody. We've got tools. Thank you, Uncle Troy, for lending me some tools. I just don't own a bunch of power tools. Someday I would like to, frankly don't have the space for it because we've got the shooty-o. Just so you know, I picked these up from a website. You've probably heard of it. It's called Stock X, Stock X, and what they do, these are actually used sneakers and they mostly specialize in sneakers but they also have occasionally running shoes as well. So what it is, is people can sell and get the shoes authenticated by a pro, by an expert who knows the sneaker industry and the running shoe industry really, really well. For example, before the Amsterdam marathon, remember how I was really wanting to race in the 4% over the next percent? Well, I couldn't find the 4% in any size anywhere for me, or sorry, in my size anywhere. Therefore, I was looking on Stock X for my size and sure enough, they had my size in a pair on Stock X and I knew it was reliable because this little tag, every shoe that is sold, comes with this verified tag, meaning that a professional and expert has looked over the shoe, examined it to make sure it's not a fake. Remember, I've actually, there's two or three people, I think two people, one on Facebook and one via email, who have purchased, just in like the last two weeks, fake Nike next percent. So it's happening, you gotta be careful, you gotta be careful of the websites you're using. Anyway, that's the question of the day. What is your go-to source for secondhand running shoes? So pause, pause, scratch that. I realize that that question of the day doesn't quite make sense because you usually don't buy running shoes secondhand. I wonder if there is a website out there, like Stock X is made more for higher end sneakers and higher end running shoes, higher end any shoes. So in running shoes, it's a different niche of the footwear space. Therefore, question of the day, what is your go-to spot for buying brand new running shoes right now? Okay, so whatever website you use, what's your go-to source, and why do you like them? All right, why do you like that company? All right, roll the tape. Oh, that's gonna clean up real nice, read it. Okay, calling an audible. So here's the shelf that I'm gonna use this saw for. There we go, I'm gonna use that saw to take this shelf out tomorrow. I've realized, so it's gonna be a little loud. In fact, I think I'm gonna have to use some of these tools as well to really get it out. And our house is not huge, the kids are asleep, so therefore, I'm gonna wait until tomorrow to take the rest of the shelf out. It just could be too loud and you never wake a sleeping baby. You know that, you know that, parents. Okay, everyone, that's it for today. Thanks for watching just a work day as far as getting the studio prepped for the renovation coming up very, very soon. You guys rock, thanks for being here. As always, we'll toss it back to on the right. Hopefully I can find a vlog. I believe I have a couple other blogs where I renovate the studio. You can watch the evolution of this space that we call the studio on the right and the left. All right, you guys are the best. See beauty, work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow.
