Paige's Dad Gary: Jeans-Only Athlete
At 15:00 · chapter starts 11:40
Paige's weekend family walk had its own revelation: her dad Gary, a man who apparently lives and dies in perfectly broken-in denim, went on the walk in regular jeans. [1] — Paige DeSorbo "Paige's dad Gary went on a weekend walk in full jeans — because that's the only mode he has. He's never been seen in athleisure, sometimes …" 12:37 Paige mused that she's never seen her dad in athleisure or even out of jeans — his fitness routine is walking and drinking coffee, and somehow his metabolism cooperates. This prompted Hannah to pitch Gary for a Levi's commercial. Then Paige's family delivered a more pointed observation: Paige's volcanic 'What Pissed Me Off This Week' energy is exactly her dad's personality — a fact Gary acknowledged while noting he didn't get angry until his 40s. Paige now fully understands that she's misunderstood, just like him.
Paige's Dad: Jeans Only, Zero Athleisure
Paige's dad Gary went on a weekend walk in full jeans — because that's the only mode he has. He's never been seen in athleisure, sometimes shows up in linen pants, but mostly: jeans. His workout routine is walking and drinking coffee, and his metabolism just doesn't need more than that.

The 5K Family Revelation
After the 5K, Hannah realized she grew up in a family defined by physical activity — a fact that used to filter who dated her, since her dad would literally test potential boyfriends on their football spiral and vertical leap. One ex didn't make the cut. It wasn't anyone's fault. It was just the cut.
