Who out there can help Jack Perry meet Kevin Hart?

• Going to High Point University and starting to get into "networking"

This episode is the perfect example of how one random online interaction can turn into friendships, opportunities, and unforgettable stories. Carl and Evan sit down with KOLR-10 weekend sports anchor Chris Pinson to unpack his unconventional journey into broadcasting, the wild twists behind how they met, and a brutally honest breakdown of the Bills, Chiefs, and NFL landscape. From career setbacks to fantasy football punishments to debates about wings and garbage plates—this one is packed with entertainment and insight.

Hear the full backstory behind the “Pinson saga,” how one tweet turned into ongoing conversations, and why staying visible—even online—can create opportunities you never expected.

Chris opens up about his 8-year struggle to get on camera, the role of family connections, the importance of follow-up and resilience, and advice for young broadcasters navigating a tough industry.

From the Chiefs’ red-zone issues to Buffalo’s postseason heartbreaks, Bills Mafia culture, wing etiquette, and the infamous Rochester garbage plate—this episode has something for fans of sports and good laughs.

Weekend Sports Anchor, KOLR 10 (Color 10), Springfield, Missouri

Chris is a Florida native, UCF graduate, and passionate sports storyteller who covers Kansas City sports—including the Chiefs—from his base in Southwest Missouri.
