This Ain’t Radio

Chris gives his full weeken recap. From his trip to the theater to see Toy Story 5, to going to watch The Big 3, to going to go watch Coyote perform at Venice Beach for P-Rod Day.

I met up with a friend I haven’t seen in almost ten years… fully aware that the “beef” between us wasn’t real. He had no idea there was even tension. I just decided at some point, “Man, forget him,” and ran with it.Then I get into the “No Snitching” rule. Where it came from, why it mattered, and whether that code still makes sense when you’re grown.And yes, I’m campaigning for a Tumblr comeback. Less algorithms. Less performance. More authenticity.Made-up grudges. Real conversations. Digital nostalgia.This one’s honest.

Episode 282 is a reminder that a normal day rarely stays normal. What starts as a relaxed bike ride at the beach turns into an accidental drop-in at an Anti-ICE protest. Then it is a Metro ride with my nephew to the Galen Center to catch the USC vs. Hoosiers basketball game and take in the whole experience together. To top it all off, the episode wraps with a real-life curveball when someone gets fired. From unexpected crowds to courtside energy and sudden consequences, this one covers a lot of ground.

In this episode, I talk about two things we don’t usually put in the same conversation: my funeral and my fitness goals.I break down exactly how I want my funeral to go, who should speak, who definitely shouldn’t, and what I want and don’t want when that day eventually comes. It’s honest, funny, and way less dark than it sounds.Then I shift the focus forward into life. I share my current fitness plan, long-term health goals, and why training, consistency, and discipline matter more to me now than ever. This episode is about perspective, using humor to face uncomfortable topics, and making choices today that set you up for the future.If you’ve ever thought about mortality, motivation, or getting serious about your health without taking yourself too seriously, this episode will hit home.

This week, I’m getting personal. I kick things off by diving into my history with Air Jordans — from the first pair that hooked me to why the Jordan 3 will forever be the sneaker that changed everything for me. I also shout out my guy Pete, who’s been clutch in helping me secure some of the most important pairs in my collection over the years.Then I switch gears and talk about the newest volume of Stranger Things, including the chaos of trying to get tickets for the finale in theaters — and how I damn near didn’t get tickets. It’s nostalgia, sneakers, friendship, and a little Hawkins madness all in one episode.
