The Chris Show

Full disclosure, I don't know that I've ever heard someone offer these three ideas as life-hacks and maybe you're going to think "well, duh, Chris, everyone already does this." But these have been game-changing realizations/discoveries for me and, let's be honest, I need all the help I can get. (If you're looking for a pre-workout, my current go-to is Cellucor C4. You can buy it on Amazon, most big retail stores or fitness boutiques.)

Anyone else's kids wake up at the crack of dawn (no matter what time "dawn" actually is) and decide it's time to be awake for the day? Me too. This episode is a rambling about naps, sleep schedules, kids' clocks and bedtimes. At the end of the day, it boils down to we are all just doing the best we can and you're awesome. Keep it up.

Have you ever been to a casting call for the Bachelor? I have. And let me tell you, it is an experience like no other. I definitely was not prepared for that "audition" and I obviously didn't get cast, but I'd say it made for a pretty good story.

Here's a PSA: never go to an orthodontist who doesn't have straight teeth. Just a good rule of thumb, right? I wish I'd realized that when I was younger because I'm still paying for it and I'll tell you what I mean in this episode.

I also tell you how getting massages on my mouth prepared me for labor and delivery. You read that right, and no it's not in a weird way. Just listen to the episode and it will make more sense.

*Warning: if the sound of someone's jaw clicking grosses you out, beware of that around the 17 minute mark. It's not obnoxious but it is there.

Here's a quick shout out to my marathon runner friends, particularly the ones who ran the Boston Marathon this morning. You are amazing. There is one circumstance where I would willingly submit myself to that kind of physical exertion and I tell you all about that.

Also, this is a little shout out to my buddy, Ryan Seacrest. He has no idea who I am but I tell you all about why I think we're best friends and why I maybe teared up during his last episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan.

I'm an American and I live in Canada. Why is that, you ask? Listen to the podcast and you'll find out. You'll also hear my take on speed limits, automated speeding tickets, and why Fahrenheit makes so much more sense than Celsius does (though Celsius is SO much easier to spell, am I right?)

Everyone has to start somewhere and this is my start to...talking into a microphone with sitting in my closet with a mirror in front of me. Then suddenly I start telling you why I'm switching from always straightening my hair to now trying to embrace my natural curls and how I feel about that (clueless, I feel clueless).
