Darryl:
Well, it's New Year's Eve, and with 2025 knocking on our door, I figured instead of talking about marketing and finances or, like, my weird obsession with candlelit bubble baths, we'd wrap up the year with a few laughs instead.
René:
Yeah. Isn't that what we're always doing is laughing?
Darryl:
I guess, but before we dive into some laughs, we have some pretty cool news to share.
René:
Yeah, this is big!
Darryl:
We’ve been nominated for the Discover Pods 2024 Awards Season for Best Business Podcast!
René:
It's crazy... Can you believe it? We started this podcast overlooking the mountains in Kelowna with nothing but a couple of microphones, a soundboard, and way too much coffee.
Darryl:
And now we’re award nominees. But after the judges made their picks, to go from nominee to winner, it’s now up to the fans. That’s where you come in. Voting is only open until January 10th, so head over to our website at Tamingthehustle.com and cast your vote.
René:
It takes, like, 30 seconds.
Darryl:
If you take a moment to vote, just know how much we appreciate it. Your support means the world to us, and honestly, knowing you enjoy the show already feels like a win in our book.
René:
You guys absolutely rock.
Darryl:
Alright... now, let’s get back to laughing at ourselves—and maybe at each other.
René:
Life can't be too serious, man. Mind you, I've got a little extra Wayne Gretzky in my coffee today.
Darryl:
Nice day of the year. Like, you like the. The Canadian whiskey cream, right? Not like. Yeah, Wayne Gretzky didn't violate your coffee, did he?
René:
Yeah, I don't have a hockey player in my cup.
Darryl:
Hey, hockey players do weird shit sometimes.
René:
Yes, they do.
Darryl:
Speaking of which, grab a drink, sit back, let's ring in the new year with a few laughs and leave the highs and lows of 2024 behind us. Actually, now that I think about it, 2024 feels a lot like a drunk ex-girlfriend. This is Taming the Hustle, or something of the Bloopers edition.
Darryl:
I. I don't want to, the next, the next the next time I talk... Elmer Fudd. I think my tongue's too big for my mouth.
René:
Yeah, for sure.
Darryl:
Remix.
René:
Remix.
Darryl:
And we communicate the message to help them make. To help them make. To help them feel a little. To help them feel a little better about why they're coming into the store. This the. I'm going to redo that whole fucking thing.
René:
Holy God. Looks. Looks like you're, like, watching porn or something. Are you with me?
Darryl:
Nope. I'm looking at notes. I was trying to find something online.
René:
Are you with me?
Darryl:
I figured with 2025 knocking on our door instead about talking about. Oh, I figured with 20. See. These are the bloopers I figured with 2025. Knock it out. Now I'm laughing.
Darryl:
Okay, but anyways. Keep saying anyways. The other thing is. No, I don't want to say the other thing. I am entitled. I. You know what the.
René:
Be bop bop bodda bope
Darryl:
So let's break it down to some action. Actionable type tips. So let's break it down into some actionable type tips. First is .
René:
That's a tongue twister. Holy noise. You did it.
Darryl:
I did it. I did it, dad.
René:
You did it. You did it. You did it. You did it.
Darryl:
I didn't know there'd be a math test in this episode.
René:
Yeah, credit unions. That Offer gic. Oh, my God.
Darryl:
Or who else you might need. Or who else. Let's just start that again.
René:
Like. Like I'm saying, like. I'm telling you not to say. Like. Like.
Darryl:
And then you need to find that.
René:
Yeah. No, you.
René:
You maintain. No. Daryl growing up said. I'm going. Oh, I just got a leg cramp.
Darryl:
What just happened here? What's going on?
René:
It just won't let go.
Darryl:
Ah, me.
René:
That hurts. Don't laugh. I can hear you laughing from here. Stop it.
Darryl:
I'm glad we're recording all this.
René:
Holy. My whole hamstring.
Darryl:
Okay, that's it. That's all I can say.
René:
That was a very abrupt.
Darryl:
I know. I know. I'm gonna do that again. I'm so glad we got those bloopers out there, because it's a good reminder that life isn't always perfect. However, obviously, I do plan to be perfect in 2025.
René:
Well, if anyone thought we were perfect, the evidence just shows we are not.
Darryl:
Damn. I feel like we should backtrack on this. Maybe we can take the episode back. I like when people think I'm perfect.
René:
Yeah, Wouldn't it be great if our wives thought we were perfect?
Darryl:
Oh, my God. Well, just don't let them listen to this episode.
René:
That'd make for a good life.
Darryl:
Thanks for tuning in. You listening honestly means the world to us.
René:
Sure does.
