    His FIRST Cruise… and He Did NOTHING But Drink

    Welcome back to Shady and Safe where we keep it a little shady but always safe. This episode is all about real life, taking a break, and what happens when you actually step away and live in the moment. We get into cruise stories, the reality of those all inclusive drink packages, and how a trip can turn into nothing but bar to room to bar real quick. From doing absolutely no activities to fully committing to the vibes, we break down what vacation really looks like when you are just there to enjoy yourself. The conversation also shifts into the importance of rest, unplugging from social media, and learning how to be present instead of constantly recording everything for the internet. We talk about the balance between living your life and feeling like you always have to perform it. Of course we had to tap into some messy takes too, from pop culture opinions to heated debates about what people do versus what they expect in return. Nothing is off limits and the opinions are real. If you have ever needed a break, taken a trip that did not go how you expected, or just enjoy real conversations with a little chaos, this episode is for you.

    Chef Pablo Gets REAL About The King of Orlando, Drama & Being Single

    Welcome back to Shady and Safe. This episode we are joined by special guest Chef Pablo for a real and unfiltered conversation you do not want to miss. We get into his experience on Chasing Orlando, what it felt like seeing himself portrayed as the villain, and how reality TV editing can completely change the story. Pablo opens up about going through depression after the show and how he found his way back to a better mental space. We also talk business, growth, and how being on the show actually helped expand his brand, bringing in bookings and new opportunities across the country. From building a name as a chef to stepping into media and creating his own projects, Pablo shares what it really takes to level up. The conversation gets even deeper as we discuss relationships, including the truth behind open relationships, long term love, and what can happen when a partner holds you back from your full potential. We also tap into zodiac signs, personality differences, and how people move when it comes to love and communication. And of course we had to have some fun. We end things with a freaky edition of Be Real where nothing is off limits and the answers get wild. If you are into real conversations about growth, relationships, business, and a little chaos, this episode is for you.
