This Life Ain't For Everybody

Chad sits down with our resident fitness expert and guru, Rob Conatser, to explore the world where sports, fitness, and life lessons collide. They hit some of the most pressing questions facing athletes and parents today like, Are we putting our sports heroes on too high a pedestal? Is greatness in sports something we’re born with, or can we train our way to the top? How can young athletes set realistic expectations without losing their love for the game? Rob shares insights on helping parents balance their children’s big dreams—like playing at the D1 level—while managing the fears and pressures that come with competitive sports. They also discuss how athletics builds a strong foundation for kids, shaping their character far beyond the field or court. The guys take a look at fairness in professional sports and business, questioning what we value most in our champions. This episode is full of valuable lessons and thought-provoking perspectives on the world of sports and fitness. Stay healthy, Stay fit! We hope you enjoy!

America, it's time to cast your vote! The race to the 47th Presidency is this week, and this episode digs deep into the questions everyone’s asking but no one’s answering. Chad welcomes Brett Fritz back to the studio for a no-holds-barred discussion on politics, elections, and the truths hiding in plain sight. Why does support for Trump seem to spark hatred? Is there any truth to claims about pets, deceased individuals, and illegals registering to vote? And what really happened in the 2020 election? From rumors of falsified voter numbers in the NFL to cancel culture, where endorsing the "wrong side" could mean saying goodbye to favorite artists— and, should we say goodbye? This episode peels back the layers in a way you won't hear anywhere else. Get ready to question everything.

It’s getting political at the TLAFE table! No matter where you stand, there’s a seat here for honest discussion. In a time when it feels hard to discuss politics and policy, Chad, Kendra, and Joey dive in to get closer to the truth that keeps America strong. Today’s topics range from the controversy over age gaps in dating to the charged narratives around Republicans and Democrats. Why are conservatives often labeled as hateful, and what impact does this have on open dialogue? They unpack the resistance many feel to embracing a conservative mindset, even when they share those values, and ask: is the division as real as it seems, or just a tactic? They talk cancel culture, explore real solutions for Washoe County, and highlight the urgent need for mental health investment. Let’s talk facts over feelings and leaders who deliver results over popularity! We hope you enjoy it!
