Ep. 162 - We are so back (almost)

This week on Don't Be Sour, the boys are back together for another episode — and yes, the studio is still "two weeks away" (we've heard that before). The crew kicks things off with a studio update and a hilarious discussion about the European boys potentially starting their own rival podcast before diving into the big news: Shawley had a baby! Shawley walks through the entire birth story, from the induction to cutting the cord, and the guys get real about the newborn experience — sleepless nights, diaper disasters, booger suckers, and the overwhelming reality of how much women sacrifice to bring life into the world. From there, things take a turn when Joe reveals he tried Ozempic after Christian called him out for looking "thick." He breaks down the side effects, the appetite suppression, and whether he's going to keep using it. The conversation then shifts into fitness, diet, and body image, with Christian opening up about body dysmorphia and the struggle of maintaining leanness, while Maxx makes a heartfelt offer to meet Joe at the gym at 5:30 AM twice a week. The car talk is next level this episode — Joe is torn between a new TRX and a Cybertruck after falling in love with Tesla's full self-driving, and he's got some strong (and hilarious) opinions about both. The guys round out the episode with a packed second half: a new 3D flavor drop, Max's new obsession with reading thriller novels, a deep dive into GTA VI and the PS5 Pro, Joe's rant about the new Halo remake, and a thoughtful conversation about posting kids on social media. Joe wraps up with stories about his new AI assistant booking contractors, falling through his ceiling, and the whole crew reminisces about childhood discipline and the wild stuff kids do. It's a long one, but a good one — kick back and enjoy ollow Maxx on IG https://www.instagram.com/maxxchewning Maxx on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/maxxchewning Joe on IG https://www.instagram.com/joeknows.best Christian on IG https://www.instagram.com/christianguzmnanfitness Shawley on IG https://www.instagram.com/shawleycoke

You Don't Actually Want It: The Cost of the Body You Say You Want | with host Emily Duncan

We need to have a real conversation about fitness goals. Every body goal looks great from the outside, but each one has a process cost and an identity cost, and most women are craving the result without being willing to pay either. In this episode I break down what fat loss and muscle building actually require, . For each one, I unpack what your goals require from not just a behavioral/process level, but an identity level, and why if you don't want that process, you owe it to yourself to release yourself from that desire. If you're a high-achieving woman who's tired of cycling through fat loss and muscle gain without lasting results, this is a tough-love episode, and it comes from someone who's lived it AND coached it. If you ARE ready to become the woman who has the physique you want, my DMs are always open for you *wink*. — Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

Ep. 159 - Emergency Episode (urgent updates)

We're back — kind of. The boys reunite for an emergency episode in a temporary setup while the brand new studio is still stuck in permit hell. Maxx, Joe, Christian, and Shawley catch up on everything that's been going on: Shawley's deep dive into Brazilian jiu-jitsu (yes, he goes every single day), Maxx learning Moonlight Sonata on the piano, Joe picking drums back up, and Christian's ongoing IVF journey with Heidi. Oh, and there's a trivia round that goes about as well as you'd expect. The second half gets into some real talk — the housing market is rough, nobody can sell their house, Joe has mixed feelings about his F-250, and somehow the conversation spirals into stock market predictions, AI bubbles, and whether the Korean market crash is a warning sign for the US. Classic Don't Be Sour energy: start with jiu-jitsu, end with macroeconomics. They close things out with a WNBA debate, some cologne recommendations nobody asked for, LeBron heading to Philly, and a full breakdown of the Fauci hearings and COVID vaccine controversy. No new studio, no fancy lighting, some echo — but the pod is back and that's what matters. Episode 160 in the new studio is coming soon. Probably.

Ep. 160 - Opening up, Homeowner Nightmares & Online Drama

It's another "emergency pod" episode of Don't Be Sour, kicked off in a new living room setup with a taste test of the upcoming Appleberry Ghost Sour Strips flavor. Things get chaotic fast as Max fesses up to an elaborate AI-assisted prank on Christian involving a "cracked" gym mirror, before the guys spiral into a wide-ranging debate on everything from mirror-breaking gym etiquette to Claude vs. ChatGPT to who really wears the better cologne. From there the conversation swings through classic homeowner headaches (a $30K irrigation replacement, shower drains clogged with hair, questionable water filtration setups), a surprisingly deep dive into Maxx's struggles with procrastination and ADHD, and a hearty round of movie and TV takes covering Spider-Man, House of the Dragon, and why Hollywood can't stop recycling old IP. The back half gets even more unfiltered, tackling a disturbing documentary on YouTuber EDP445, a play-by-play of Joe's first HOA meeting, and a heated debate over the WNBA's trans-athlete controversy. It's a longer, looser episode packed with random tangents, home renovation drama, and the usual chaotic energy — capped off with an update on the brand-new podcast studio that's finally under construction

Ep. 161 - Growing up Rich, Saying Goodbye & Big Regrets

We're back in the new (almost-finished) studio for another loose, all-over-the-place episode with the whole crew. We kick things off catching up on life — golf trash talk, Chili's vs. Olive Garden debates, and a trip to Turkey that somehow turns into a full breakdown of hair transplants, finasteride, minoxidil, and TRT. From there we get real about hormones, side effects, and what it's actually like going through fertility treatments and hair loss in your 30s. Things get even more personal as we dig into sleep tracking apps, wearables, and whether we're all a little too obsessed with optimizing our bodies. We swap old bodybuilding competition stories (peak week is rougher than you'd think), talk through the pressure of YouTube titles and clickbait, and have an honest conversation about growing up with successful parents, nepotism, and how we want to raise our own kids differently. Naturally, we close it out bouncing between everything else on our minds — GTA VI, our all-time favorite video games, David's big move, and getting older in general. We also can't help but touch on the Tupac case update, the Diddy and Kanye conversations everyone's having, and a little bit of politics because why not. It's a long one, but if you like hanging out with us and hearing us talk about literally everything, this episode delivers.

Why Women Lose Respect for Men—and the Relationship Warning Signs You're Missing: Why Women Pull Away, Men Feel Blindsided & Sex Disappears with Kristina Ferrari

Most relationships don't end because of one catastrophic moment—they die by a thousand cuts. Relationship therapist Kristina Ferrari joins Chase to challenge conventional ideas about love, marriage, communication, masculinity, femininity, intimacy, and therapy, explaining why unresolved patterns and nervous system dysregulation often sit underneath what couples call "communication problems." Drawing from her clinical work and the lessons of her own 30-year marriage and divorce, Kristina breaks down why women can weaponize emotional language, how men miss subtle warning signs that their partner is pulling away, what happens when a woman loses respect for a man, why marriage should be viewed as the beginning rather than the finish line, and how resentment can slowly destroy attraction and sex. They also explore masculine-feminine polarity, modern therapy, accountability, responsive desire, sexless relationships, raising resilient sons, and what both men and women must do differently to build relationships that are more than simply "fine."

Don't Abandon Your Ambition: Burnout, Resistance, and Emotional Regulation for High Achievers | with Ekaterina Amirkhanova and Emily Duncan

I'm back with part two of my conversation with psychologist Ekaterina Amirkhanova, and this half gets into the question I get asked most by ambitious women: how do you actually honor your ambition without burning yourself to the ground? We start with the "feel your feelings" movement and why Ekaterina says emotions are data, not orders, then dig into why "I'm honoring my energy" can morph into avoidance if you aren't careful, what resistance actually means in the brain, and why the thing you're resisting is often exactly where you should go. We also get into her take on burnout, how to survive a season where you have to push hard and a long break just isn't possible, why balance may be the wrong goal for high performers, and why guilt is sometimes just the price of prioritization. Toward the end we talk about what happens when ambitious women try to abandon their drive, how taking care of your body and building the life you want are more connected than most people realize, and the simple exercise Ekaterina recommends for getting your goals aligned with who you are. If you missed part one, go back and listen to that first first.
