A 20 year journey to a high school reunion.

In this episode of This Ain't Radio, I’m diving into a mix of personal headaches and the heavy headlines that have everyone talking.

First, I finally got the official word on the damage to my wallet. After a ride through Hermosa Beach, I found out exactly how much that bicycle ticket is going to cost me—and let’s just say the beach breeze wasn't worth the price of admission.

Then, we shift to the strange world of teen trends. There’s a new "rule" floating around the younger generation: No eggs after 11 AM. I try to make sense of the logic (or lack thereof) behind why breakfast suddenly has an expiration time for kids these days.

Finally, I weigh in on the recent, shocking news regarding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. I break down what we know so far and the surreal reality of seeing history unfold in real-time.

If you’ve ever looked at the price of a Dodger Dog, parking, and a Reserve level seat and wondered if you accidentally walked into a jewelry store, this episode is for you. We’re asking the tough question: At what point does winning become too expensive to watch?

"It’s the Dodger Tax—you pay for the rings, but you might have to sell yours to afford the beer."

"Is convenience worth a 30% markup?"

This week on This Ain’t Radio, I’m breaking down the moment I realized I was being 'shaken down' by my own phone. After seeing my billing statement hit $20.99 for YouTube Premium, I finally hit the cancel button. We’re diving into the "Apple Tax," why "Streamflation" is getting out of hand, and the simple hack to save $5 a month by just being a little more intentional with how you subscribe.

But it’s not all tech rants. To fill the void left by the "algorithm," I’ve been binge-watching Love on the Spectrum. As a photographer, I’m obsessed with the raw, unfiltered honesty of this show. In a culture that’s obsessed with "optimizing" everything—from our shooting percentages to our social media grids—seeing people just be vulnerable and human is the palate cleanser we all need.

This week’s episode takes a deep dive into the chaotic and often polarizing landscape of the modern internet. We begin with the heavy hitters in global politics, specifically focusing on Donald Trump’s recent escalating rhetoric regarding his plans to "obliterate" Iran and the ripple effects that such statements have on international tension. This leads into a candid and somewhat grim discussion on the deep-seated divisions in our culture, specifically how people are already vocally debating how they will react—and in some cases, celebrate—when the former president eventually passes away of old age.

To balance out the weight of the political sphere, the show shifts gears toward the world of high-concept art and skate culture with a look at Andy Anderson’s new video, The Shape of Paris. It is a truly beautiful piece of cinematography that captures the city in a unique light, serving as a necessary visual palate cleanser. We wrap things up by leaning into the raw, unfiltered side of viral content as I react to a shocking video of a young boy getting into a physical altercation with his mother over a refusal of more food. From the heights of global warfare to the gritty realities of viral family meltdowns, we cover the full spectrum of what it means to be online today.

This week, we’re getting into the weeds of the "mid-week funk." I dive into a recent period of heavy reflection—those days where you can’t help but audit where you are versus where you thought you’d be, particularly when it comes to the bank account and financial milestones.

Then, we pivot to the nightly battle of Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. I talk about that stubborn refusal to close my eyes—even when I’m running on empty—until I’ve reclaimed a few hours of the day for myself. Whether it’s scrolling, watching a show, or just sitting in the quiet, we explore why "me time" feels most expensive when you’re paying for it with sleep.
