    Ep. 71 - " The Man Who Never Sat Still" feat. Uncle Kevin

    Episode 71: The Man Who Never Sat Still How well do you really know the people you've known your entire life? This week, C-Rod welcomes his Uncle Kevin for a conversation that starts with a little family rivalry and takes us through decades of stories he never knew existed. First, there's an important question to settle. How does the man responsible for making C-Rod a lifelong Miami Hurricanes fan end up wearing an FSU hat? From there, Kevin takes us back to growing up in New York, being the middle child between two sisters, and some questionable decisions involving a rooftop antenna and a collection of missing school engines. We also get into his time in the Air Force working on F-4 fighter jets, his years at MacDill, the many jobs and businesses he took on, and a few stories from his younger days that probably deserved their own episode. But the conversation takes a more personal turn when Kevin opens up about becoming a father, navigating his daughter's childhood epilepsy, and the responsibility of keeping his family moving forward when life becomes difficult. At 67, Kevin has no intention of slowing down. But as he looks back on his life, the conversation becomes as much about the people around him as the experiences he's collected. An episode about family, fatherhood, growing older, and realizing there is still so much to discover about the people closest to us. The You Good? Podcast. Oversharing is encouraged and the thoughts get real. New episodes every Thursday at 8 AM.

    Ep. 70 - "Not The Whole Story"

    Episode 70: Not the Whole Story How much time do we waste trying to prove we're right, and how often do we forget that there's more to someone else's story than what we can see? This week, C-Rod and Nick explore ego, empathy, and the way our perspective changes as we get older. They reflect on arguments that went too far, relationships affected by the need to have the last word, and the difference between being right and actually being understood. A conversation about Carrie opens a larger discussion about bullying, the psychological effects of cruelty, and why kindness is so often mistaken for weakness. Both hosts also acknowledge moments when they've contributed to the very behavior they're criticizing. Then the conversation turns toward mortality and the philosophy of memento mori. From anxiety and loss to parenting and appreciating the time we have, the guys ask whether remembering that life is temporary can change how we choose to live it. Plus, baseball frustrations, Pokémon cards, the proper season for coquito, and an unexpected debate about dog heaven and squirrel hell. The You Good? Podcast. New episodes every Thursday.

    Ep. 69 - "When The Joke Stops"

    Episode 69: When the Joke Stops At what point does joking around with your friends become outright disrespect? What started as a conversation about one picture that has been shared in a fantasy league for six years turns into something much bigger. C-Rod opens up about being bullied growing up, why being the constant punchline still bothers him, and what finally made him decide he'd had enough. Nick shares his own experiences with friendships that changed after boundaries were crossed, and both hosts reflect on times they've been the ones pushing too far. They talk about learning to speak up, respecting boundaries you don't necessarily understand, and why an apology means very little if nothing changes afterward. Sometimes the people you've known the longest are the ones who need to hear you say enough. New episodes every Thursday at 8 AM.

    Ep. 68 - "After We Hit Send"

    For Episode 68 of The You Good? Podcast C-Rod and Nick are back for a host-only episode about group chats, private messages, screenshots, accountability, safety, and what people reveal when they think only their people are watching. The episode starts with Big Brother finale talk, reality TV strategy, CBS needing better villains, and whether C-Rod and Nick would be dangerous on a show like Big Brother. From there, the guys move into group chat behavior, the difference between girl group chats and guy group chats, fantasy league chaos, old friendships, blocking people, screenshots that never die, and why some group chats should probably never see the light of day. Then the conversation turns heavier.C-Rod and Nick discuss the alleged Cornell fraternity assault story, the role of group messages, silence, accountability, what it means to create safety, and why the bare minimum should be that people can exist, party, and be vulnerable without being taken advantage of. The episode closes by bringing that same idea back to the podcast. Guests have trusted C-Rod and Nick with grief, sobriety, anxiety, trauma, loss, and deeply personal stories. The guys talk about what it means to hold those stories carefully, how to share powerful clips without exploiting someone’s pain, and why trust has become the center of what The You Good? Podcast is becoming.

    Ep. 66 - "Just One More"

    C-Rod and Nick are back with a host-only episode about collecting, nostalgia, impulse buys, and the hobbies that start innocently before turning into a full obsession. The conversation starts with mini helmets, autograph breaks, tabs that got way too high, and the realization that sometimes the chase is more exciting than the thing you actually win. From there, the guys move into trading cards, Pokemon, Whatnot, card shows, eBay searches, Target lines, scalpers, ripping packs, and trying to figure out the difference between collecting, gambling, investing, and just having fun. They also talk about getting back into Pokemon as adults, collecting with their kids, the joy of pulling a card together, why card shows feel like a real community, and how something as small as a pack of cards can bring back a feeling from childhood.

    Ep. 65 - "The Life You Actually Choose" - feat. Kim Darby

    C-Rod and Nick welcome Kim Darby for a college reunion, a life check in, and a long overdue catch up. C-Rod and Kim go back to UCF, where they were inseparable, had way too many nicknames, and built a friendship that lived somewhere between old Facebook comments, Greek life stories, late night rides, and memories that Kim may remember a little more clearly than C-Rod. The episode starts with the fun stuff: the origin of “Mimi,” Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian, Big Sweaty and Little Sweaty, Shots Around the World, the purple drink, Kim being the designated driver, and old college versions of themselves that feel both familiar and completely gone. Then the conversation turns deeper. Kim talks about what she thought adult life would look like, the pressure women feel around marriage and kids, social media making people feel behind, and how life does not always follow the timeline you pictured when you were younger. She also opens up about health, yoga, Bali, therapy, being hospitalized with pneumonia, leaving a job after 13 years, taking a risk on herself, changing careers, and finding her way into the events world. This is an episode about old friends, old versions of ourselves, choosing a different path, and learning that being behind might just mean you are living a life that belongs to you.
