This Ain’t Radio

This week, I’m getting personal. I kick things off by diving into my history with Air Jordans — from the first pair that hooked me to why the Jordan 3 will forever be the sneaker that changed everything for me. I also shout out my guy Pete, who’s been clutch in helping me secure some of the most important pairs in my collection over the years.

Then I switch gears and talk about the newest volume of Stranger Things, including the chaos of trying to get tickets for the finale in theaters — and how I damn near didn’t get tickets. It’s nostalgia, sneakers, friendship, and a little Hawkins madness all in one episode.

This week’s episode drops a day early so you can catch up before Stranger Things Season 5 officially begins. I’m breaking down everything from Seasons 1 through 4 — the characters, the key plot points, the heartbreaks, the twists, and the fan-favorite moments that made this show a phenomenon.

I walk through the early days in Hawkins with Will’s disappearance, Eleven’s escape, and the rise of the Demogorgon; the widening mystery of the Upside Down in Season 2; the neon-soaked paranoia and body-horror invasion of Season 3; and the massive emotional and world building payoff of Season 4 with Vecna, Max’s arc, the Creel House, and the origin story that reshaped the entire mythology.

Along the way, I spotlight fan favorites like Steve Harrington, Dustin Henderson, Max Mayfield, Eddie Munson, and Hopper — plus some cool behind-the-scenes tidbits and details casual viewers might’ve missed.

If you need a full refresher before the final chapter arrives, this episode has you covered.

This week on the show, I break down a very unexpected workplace situation. I got into a small altercation with a coworker… nothing wild, but messy enough that he ended up writing a whole report about me. And then — here’s where it gets tricky — I found a draft of that report. So I read it. And now I’m asking: am I the asshole for reading and reacting to it on the podcast?

I unpack what happened, what he wrote, and whether I crossed a line by putting it all out there. Plus, I switch gears and talk about my trip to LOOK Dine-In Cinema in Downey. Did the food hit? Was the service smooth? Was the experience worth it? I give you the honest, no-BS breakdown.

Tap in for the drama, the laughs, and the review.

This week on This Ain’t Radio, I break down an “Am I the Asshole” post about a guy who doesn’t want to split the dinner bill evenly — and honestly, he might have a point. Then I settle the debate once and for all with the definitive, non-argumentative Adam Sandler movie list. Plus, I share how what was supposed to be a quick Old Navy run turned into an all-day adventure — and how wanting to see my nephew somehow turned into full-on babysitting duty.

This week on This Ain’t Radio, I dive into the chilling, real-life horror story of Ed Gein — one of the most disturbing criminal figures in American history. Then I switch things up and celebrate the madness of Game 7 of this year’s World Series — because the Dodgers won, baby! From true crime to true blue.

I also break down “The Big Burger Problem” — when a burger is so huge and overloaded that it stops being a meal and becomes a messy, structural disaster. Delicious? Yes. Practical? Not at all.

And in a totally separate struggle… I didn’t get eat out for dinner because I spent too much on gas. I’m out here budgeting and suffering.

It’s creepy. It’s hype. It’s messy. It’s life — all on this week’s episode.

This week on This Ain’t Radio, it’s the Halloween Extravaganza! I dive into three scary stories and give my unfiltered reactions to each one. Then I break down some of my favorite Halloween TV episodes — from Martin’s spooky run-in with Old Man Ackerman to The Simpsons classic where Bart and Lisa discover their long-lost twin brother, Hugo. I also get real about how Halloween just doesn’t hit the same in my city anymore — the vibe’s gone, the streets are quiet, it’s dead. And to top it off, the Dodgers’ World Series Game 3 had me completely drained. Tune in for chills, nostalgia, and a little late-night honesty.

This week on This Ain’t Radio, I break down another wild “Am I the Asshole” story — this time about a husband who refuses to share a home office with his wife. Then I get into how the film Blindspotting hit me on a personal level and why it still sticks with me today. I also share my experience at the Chance The Rapper concert — where everything was comped (yes, everything!) — and wrap things up by ranking my top 5 Tom Hanks movies of all time.

Tone: honest, funny, and reflective — just like always.

This week on This Ain’t Radio, I react to an “Am I the Asshole?” post where a guy has dinner with his new neighbor’s wife—and I let him know exactly how I feel about it. I also talk about the impact D’Angelo’s music had on me and where I was when I found out about his passing. Then I get into how the things that excite me have changed as I’ve gotten older, and why I can’t stand fake deep people on social media.Real talk, reflection, and a little bit of side-eye—just another week on This Ain’t Radio.

This week on This Ain’t Radio, Chris dives into another wild AITJ story — this time about a woman who actually spied on her man in his own house. You already know, the moral compass is getting tested! Then things get deeper as Chris opens up about Prince’s “Sometimes It Snows in April” and how the song hits close to home, reminding him of his late brother, Jerms. On a lighter note, he shares the story of the first time he got his freak dance on (a true coming-of-age moment) and wraps things up with his pumpkin patch adventures. From laughter to loss to a little nostalgia, this episode’s got all the feels.

In this episode of This Ain’t Radio, Chris dives into another round of Am I The Jerk?, weighing in with his signature mix of honesty and humor. He shares how “His Pain II” by BJ The Chicago Kid and Kendrick Lamar left a lasting impact on him, blending vulnerability with reflection. For the Quick Hit segment, Chris tackles the rise of emotional support pets, calling out the ways people sometimes lean on animals instead of doing the deeper personal work needed for growth. To wrap things up, he revisits a classic and explains why Boy Meets World still stands the test of time.
