In this episode, Chad sits down with Yo Legroan from ReDirect Athletics in Reno, Nevada. Yo is a man whose mission goes way beyond sports. He isn’t just training athletes; he’s raising leaders. His passion is contagious, his mindset is relentless, and his belief is simple: everybody needs something, and everybody needs love. The conversation gets real. From boxing as a metaphor for life, getting knocked down, getting back up, and training harder, to race, resilience, and the role of strong men guiding the next generation.

This one is seriously raw, honest, and it’s the kind of talk that sticks with you. If you care about grit, accountability, and the future of our kids, this is one you can’t miss.

Chad and Alex are back behind the mics, and it’s the usual hilarious chaos.

Hunting dinners, missing life’s big moments, and what it takes to balance the grind with everything else all make their way into the mix. And then there’s the car show. Alex thinks it's awesome, Chad thinks it's lame. But the funniest part is when Chad calls Alex out for never inviting him anywhere, while Chad invites Alex to everything.
