Limitations and exclusions may apply. See our seven day return policy at carvana.com. Let's be honest. Most men drift. We wake up, we scroll, we work, and then we just rinse and repeat. And we know we're softer than we should be.
That's why I built the 31 Day Resilience Reset. This is not a devotional. It is a field manual for men ready to stop drifting and start fighting back. So for 31 days, you'll train your spirit, mind and body with scripture, prayer, and daily challenges that forge real resilience. Go to www.Undaunted.Life.

This is Undaunted.Life. A Man's Podcast. I'm your host, Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it. Hey, welcome to your podcast studio. Is that what I'm supposed to say?

**Josh Howerton** (1:56)
This is when we say, let's kick this pig.

**Kyle Thompson** (1:58)
Okay. Is that a Kentucky thing or is that a Texas thing?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:00)
Yeah, it's a real Kentucky thing.

**Josh Howerton** (2:02)
Well, actually, so here's what we found out about that.
What was that movie, Carlos? It was, oh, it was Down Periscope. So all the guys in my high school. How old are you?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:15)
I'm 34 Carlos is like 19 years old.

**Kyle Thompson** (2:17)
Well, you're basically a billion years old compared to us.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:19)
How old are you?

**Kyle Thompson** (2:20)
I just turned 42 weeks ago.

**Josh Howerton** (2:22)
40, okay. So back in the 1900s, when I went to high school, there was Kelsey Grammer did a, bro, you should remember this movie.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:29)
What, Frasier?

**Kyle Thompson** (2:30)
Yeah, but I don't remember.

**Josh Howerton** (2:31)
No, no, no, hang on. Let me finish my sentence.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:33)
Is this how you do podcasts?

**Kyle Thompson** (2:34)
Yeah, I just interrupt people the whole time.

**Josh Howerton** (2:36)
So Kelsey Grammer did a comedy when we were soft, when I was the sophomore, I think, in high school. And it was called Down Periscope. So then when I was growing up, all my Kentucky boys, whenever we want to go somewhere, everybody'd say, let's kick this pig. So then it was actually a Live Free listener, because I kept going like, it's a Kentucky thing. A Live Free listener in the comment section, right? He finally was like, that's not a Kentucky thing. That's from Down Periscope, 1996 or whatever it was. And then they sent us the clip. And sure enough, that's where it comes from.

**Kyle Thompson** (3:06)
So what was it like? What was like the context of, let's kick this pig?

**Josh Howerton** (3:09)
A submarine is pushing off the dock and they say, let's kick this pig.

**Kyle Thompson** (3:14)
So is that how y'all like lead off staff meetings now at the church?

**Josh Howerton** (3:17)
No, that's just, that's how I lead, like my kids, anytime I go somewhere, I'm always like, time to go to school, let's kick this pig. And I've just been saying it.

**Kyle Thompson** (3:25)
Everyone kind of knows what to do at that point, they fall in line.

**Josh Howerton** (3:27)
Everybody knows, that's our thing.

**Kyle Thompson** (3:29)
Well, I will say, my thing is typically, I like stick to times, and if I tell someone I'm going to be somewhere at a particular time, I do that. But over the years, I mean, I've been doing this podcasting for like nine years. And so I've had to reschedule some stuff and stuff had to get shifted around. But normally the excuse is, hey man, lost my voice, hey, I got sick, hey, you know, kid had to go to the emergency room. But never once, this is a new one.
