Quarantining With The Chrises

The Chrises enter looking colorful in their @TieDyeForTumors shirts and masks for National Voter Registration Day. Feeling inclusive on the first day of fall, The Chrises finally give Intern Ryan the chance to spill the beans about his recent road trip. After being left somewhere near Idaho Falls, Idaho, Ryan picks up a girlfriend(!) and befriends a mysterious Hawaiian man named Uncle Pineapple. Things take a turn as Uncle Pineapple directs Ryan to a secret hot spring stream portal where Ryan almost gets sucked into another dimension. Narrowly escaping, Ryan and his gal pal hitchhike their way through Idaho with potatoes as currency. In Utah, Ryan decides to spice up his taters and stops at the city of salt, Salt Lake City, and home of provolone cheese, Provo. Feeling energized from his culinary experiences, Ryan spends an exquisite night in the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas before making his way back home—forever a King of Idaho.

The Chrises return from Ryan’s Road Trip with a ton of mail and a live unboxing extravaganza. Lucky for Intern Ryan, Molly Suds sent a massive box of laundry and fabric products for all his funky smelling clothes from his hitchhike expedition back from Idaho. The Chrises are impressed with the biodegradable, plant packing peanuts and decide to chomp down on some while concocting an ingenious plan to start a cotton candy packaging material company. Chris & Chris also receive a pair of matching tie-dye shirts and masks from a clothing brand with big hearts, Tie Dye For Tumors— benefiting families fighting brain cancer in honor of their sister, Alley Hoza-Rodela. The longest journey award goes to Rising Springs Source, with hand delivered, straight-from-the-source water that only took a 16,000 year, granite protected pilgrimage to The Chrises door.

Intern Ryan becomes a member of the Quarantining With The Chrises team on the first ever Fancy Friday. The Chrises dance into everyone’s hearts to R.E.M.’s “It’s The End Of The World” and feel fine enough to clear the air, as first time caller and long time listener, Matthew Baker (Baker) The Touchdown Maker, joins the fun. Bubly, the Odoul’s of White Claw, is plugged by Baker as his non-alcoholic seltzer of choice as he stays inside and showers multiple times a day to fill his quarantine time. The Fray’s discography is dissected by the guys, and Fun Employment Baker saves a friend’s life with a 100-yard, non-contact socially distanced Tylenol toss. Covid Cooking is launched with the herb master himself as he shares how his kitchen is akin to a Food Network program. Baker departs with some final coronavirus hot takes: Don’t catch Covid, don’t let your roommates leave the house, and ignore all dogs (note: the ability for dogs to get Covid has since been debunked).

The Chrises rewind on Throwback Thursday for “Be Kind, Rewind Retro Week” with a family flashback featuring not one, but two guests: Jeffrey Janssen and Michael Gardinier III. Big Jefferson opens up the episode with hot takes from the early Covid quarantine grocery craze. The connoisseur of tushy tissues and tree costumes gives the rundown on his daily sanitary routine and which sock he puts on first [hint: it’s like a Twix]. Michael, a superior trained athlete, comes in heavy with his 10-pound dumbbells and .625 tee-ball batting average to give important fitness tips— quit if you’re better than the teacher. The Doctor of Love, who has been married once and engaged four times, gives expert romance advice and talks about his ideal woman: someone who is sexy and smart alá Toy Story’s Bo Peep.

Ryan starts “Be Kind, Rewind Week” off with a Season 1 favourite, Monsignor Chris Zavodsky. The Man of the Cloth speaks on his early quarantine abstinence, and his angel hands that are solely designed for intramural defeat. Terrible TVs biggest advocate preaches about his journey into trashy programming and the Holy Order of shows ranked on his podcast network ChurchofZ.com. The CEO of Plus Ones dishes on his summer wedding lifestyle and shares how all the kings and queens can excel at the reception by following the golden rules: never leave the dance floor, compliment the bride at least 35 times, and boogie with the tipsy aunt at least once. With the possibility of virtual weddings on the horizon, The Z Witch Project takes the Chrises on a tour of Hoboken and shares the one rule he lives by: No carbs on carbs.

The Chrises go sliving through Fancy Friday with The Godmother of Podcasting, Daniela Garcia. The Founder and CEO of PodBooking—the hottest podcasting social platform—talks about her revolutionary network to connect podcasters, engineers, networks, and brands. Excited for the official November 1st launch of Pod-Booking.com, The Chrises throw their hats in the waitlist pond to become beta testers. The Podmother though does give a hot podcasting tip on defining the ideal listener; a preview from her partnership with the upcoming Leadership Requested Webinar. After breaking the Internet with consistency and genuine engagement, Daniela is on a quest to help smaller podcasters monetize and grow faster. She encourages The Chrises to keep doing what they are doing after Ryan’s Road Trip: giving back, collaborating, themed days, and featuring interesting guests.

The Chrises get the notebooks out and scribble down ecological restoration suggestions from Captain Planet himself, Scott Atkinson. The John Hopkins Environmental Sci & Policy master’s student teaches listeners about forest fire suppression, the relation to the current Northern California wildfires, and the importance of cleaning up fuel sources. After recently pulling up his britches and operating a chainsaw to help clear a friend’s fire threatened property, Scott is potentially qualified to be a full-time farmer. Looking to capitalize on the animal cam trend, Scott set up a video recorder inside his owl box perch despite one minor issue— a nighthawk has yet to pay the Atkinson family a visit. His daughter and future Forest Ranger, June, swoops in and steals the show with a brief appearance that sparks a new merchandising idea to sell QWTChrises branded slippers (link in bio coming soon). Scott, a 37-year-old father with a 9 to 5, forgoes a pro surfing sponsorship to train for WSL Mavericks, and he can officially hold his breath longer than the Chrises as a recent recipient of a free diving certificate. Part-Time Beekeeper and activist for all, Scott sends The Chrises home with some lavender honey, books on trees, and a donation to The Chrises’ No Hair For Care GoFundMe campaign to help support children’s cancer camp, Okizu [https://www.gofundme.com/f/no-hair-for-care].

Joy Morgan makes a QWTChrises pitstop on her interdimensional road trip journey between Brooklyn and Portland to advocate for radical environmental change. On a personal quest to turn New Jersey’s Pinelands National Reserve into a National Monument, Joy discusses setting up cameras to watch snake dens, as The Chrises encourage her to capture the Jersey Devil. With still so much more to learn about public land management, Joy suggests some low cost ways to upgrade urban planning— including permeable sidewalk pavers to replenish its natural aqueducts with rain water. Joy addresses listener questions about the waste produced from plastic vs. reusable water bottles, and how the Guppy Friend prevents microplastic pollution that results from laundering synthetic garments. The Eco-Inspiration To All talks about the upcoming Marketplace Of The Future, an innovative, interactive, and Zelda-esque World Fair of Tomorrow. Last but not least, Joy encourages everyone to do tiny, little things to make big changes such as buying reusable and compostable products from Package Free Shop, and repurposing grocery vegetable bags to cover and store food.

The Chrises go full steam ahead and ride the waves with Art Ambassador, Erik Abel. A lifelong surfer, Erik finds inspiration from his happy place—the ocean—and from animals. The Wave Doodler uses painting as a way to escape reality and lucky enough for him, people continue to purchase his prints and originals to bring a little piece of the sea and nature into their homes. When Erik is not busy teaming up with the Community Cause of the Week, Save The Waves Coalition, to design compostable phone cases and other wonderful pieces of art, he’s exploring his artistic freedom with his not-so-secret identity, Abstract Pursuits. Inspired by Erik’s artistic alter ego, Ryan gets feedback on his “pothead”, and The Chrises receive a face painting lesson. The Art Entrepreneur also delves into business ideas with The Chrises including: Bourbon & Bread (a new chic restaurant), abstract toilet paper art, bearded portraits, and paint by numbers. Before Erik leaves to teach his kids about the lost art of sliced bread ball making, he drops the cheat code for all artists.

The Chrises venture out to the Sunshine State smelling fabulous, without an overpowering odor, to get all-natural clean with Molly’s Suds Founder and CEO, Monica Leonard. After selecting every Molly’s Suds employee as her favorite, Monica activates her current product preferences, the twin powers—super powder laundry detergent and stain spray. The entire sustainable product lineup is without petrochemicals, solvents, dyes, and pesticides; making them always safe for people and the planet. With thorough research and comprehensive, green ingredient labels, Molly’s Suds truly takes the guess work out of purchasing harmless, yet effective, clean solutions. Monica also dishes with The Chrises on Molly’s Suds sustainable packaging and local environmental initiative— her brick-and-mortar store, The Refillery in Saint Petersburg, Florida. After teaching the community about waste, The Clean Queen hints at an upcoming product (hint: it may or may not be soap) and leaves little footprints on The Chrises hearts.
