In This Week’s Episode: Tony Vidal and KR Jones dive into the weekly wellness shenanigans that might just make you ask, “Is this adulting or just organized chaos?”

We kick things off with the big existential question: Can Black Men's joy be achieved? Spoiler: It might involve whiskey, a game night, and possibly a trip to Butcher’s Daughter... or was that just an excuse to say “canna-infused charcuterie” out loud?

The fellas hash out everyone’s “wild out allowance” and how much wiggle room you get before the wellness gods start judging. Plus, we’ve got uncommon prayers for the Goop crowd (because who says you can’t mix Sunday service with overpriced incense and oat milk lattes?).

Robert Glasper’s Robtober at Blue Note? Pure vibes. But sometimes, you have to channel your inner bad guy to get things done. The power of presence isn’t just for yoga class, folks. KR might’ve been caught with his “panties in a bunch” over a laundry mishap, but hey, adulting is all about teaching people how to treat you — even if it’s about your delicates.

From McDonald’s surprising new fitness app success (yes, you read that right) to Maap Lab’s concept bike store in Seoul making your inner cyclist weep, we’re unpacking how even Big Macs and fancy gear shops are shaping the wellness scene. And speaking of tech, are all brick-and-mortar businesses destined to become “third spaces,” or just new spots for overpriced Wi-Fi and espresso?

Asics Research Alert! Office workers who don’t move = more stressed. Groundbreaking, right? Meanwhile, Gymshark is trying to make PR lifts in Vegas cooler than blackjack, and Diplo thinks running 5Ks should come with a $116 cover charge (mini music festival included, of course).

KR and Tony touch on traditional alcohol brands hopping on the non-alcoholic bandwagon. It’s like your cool uncle finally discovering kombucha. Plus, Brandon Haynes drops his new doc on Renee Montgomery, proving that friends of the show don’t just talk, they make moves.

New York City Pop-Up Alert: Salomon is here, Sea Ice Marathon in Sweden is calling all masochists, and Marsha Ambrosius is reminding everyone that musical performances can still feel like a hug from an angel.

And as for the satirical breakdown of primal zodiac animals and bad ads, we’re all in. If you’ve ever needed a soulful laugh for a great recharge, this episode is your warm, hilarious reset. After all, champions aren’t extraordinary — they just do the ordinary extra.

Catch this week’s episode, where the takes are hot, the wisdom is debatable, and KR still thinks people who talk on speakerphone in public are an affront to humanity.
