Back to School Hiatus

There will not be a show today due to the Back to School Flurry. Did you just raise your eyebrows and wonder why Trey said back to school?

I actually work at a University and today was that schools orientation for new Freshman. So it required me to be up early and is a bad combination when paired with saying up super late recording.

Jeff and his family either go to school, or work at one so we are both markedly busy gearing up for a new semester. Please feel free CLICK HERE and search our Real Family Guys Podcast shows and we will see you next week.

Daddy Dogpile

Well, I’m going to miss an episode today. My wife busted her foot (I mean literally, she broke her foot). She has needed to be down and between playing with mah beh-behs and keeping this house from ker-sploding, my tiredness is brinking into the unhealthy.

So, after I played several games including Daddy Dogpile with the kids and in hopes that I will not pass out at the wheel on my way to work tomorrow, I’m going to leave you with the previous 239 episodes you can choose from. Enjoy and we will see you this Friday for The Real Family Guys Podcast.
