S02E29: Heating Up with Global Head of Sustainability Scott Atkinson

August 27, 2020 Chris 54:23

The Chrises get the notebooks out and scribble down ecological restoration suggestions from Captain Planet himself, Scott Atkinson. The John Hopkins Environmental Sci & Policy master’s student teaches listeners about forest fire suppression, the relation to the current Northern California wildfires, and the importance of cleaning up fuel sources. After recently pulling up his britches and operating a chainsaw to help clear a friend’s fire threatened property, Scott is potentially qualified to be a full-time farmer. Looking to capitalize on the animal cam trend, Scott set up a video recorder inside his owl box perch despite one minor issue— a nighthawk has yet to pay the Atkinson family a visit. His daughter and future Forest Ranger, June, swoops in and steals the show with a brief appearance that sparks a new merchandising idea to sell QWTChrises branded slippers (link in bio coming soon). Scott, a 37-year-old father with a 9 to 5, forgoes a pro surfing sponsorship to train for WSL Mavericks, and he can officially hold his breath longer than the Chrises as a recent recipient of a free diving certificate. Part-Time Beekeeper and activist for all, Scott sends The Chrises home with some lavender honey, books on trees, and a donation to The Chrises’ No Hair For Care GoFundMe campaign to help support children’s cancer camp, Okizu [https://www.gofundme.com/f/no-hair-for-care].

August 26, 2020 Chris 51:13

Joy Morgan makes a QWTChrises pitstop on her interdimensional road trip journey between Brooklyn and Portland to advocate for radical environmental change. On a personal quest to turn New Jersey’s Pinelands National Reserve into a National Monument, Joy discusses setting up cameras to watch snake dens, as The Chrises encourage her to capture the Jersey Devil. With still so much more to learn about public land management, Joy suggests some low cost ways to upgrade urban planning— including permeable sidewalk pavers to replenish its natural aqueducts with rain water. Joy addresses listener questions about the waste produced from plastic vs. reusable water bottles, and how the @Guppyfriend prevents microplastic pollution that results from laundering synthetic garments. The Eco-Inspiration To All talks about the upcoming Marketplace Of The Future, an innovative, interactive, and Zelda-esque World Fair of Tomorrow. Last but not least, Joy encourages everyone to do tiny, little things to make big changes such as buying reusable and compostable products from @PackageFreeShop, and repurposing grocery vegetable bags to cover and store food.

August 24, 2020 Chris 1:01:05

The Chrises venture out to the Sunshine State smelling fabulous, without an overpowering odor, to get all-natural clean with Molly’s Suds Founder and CEO, Monica Leonard. After selecting every Molly’s Suds employee as her favorite, Monica activates her current product preferences, the twin powers—super powder laundry detergent and stain spray. The entire sustainable product lineup is without petrochemicals, solvents, dyes, and pesticides; making them always safe for people and the planet. With thorough research and comprehensive, green ingredient labels, Molly’s Suds truly takes the guess work out of purchasing harmless, yet effective, clean solutions. Monica also dishes with The Chrises on Molly’s Suds sustainable packaging and local environmental initiative— her brick-and-mortar store, The Refillery in Saint Petersburg, Florida. After teaching the community about waste, The Clean Queen hints at an upcoming product (hint: it may or may not be soap) and leaves little footprints on The Chrises hearts.

August 21, 2020 Chris 48:45

The Chrises skip across the pond with the wedded duo that always cross their mind, Ayana and Declan Richie. After his better half spends hours in hair and makeup, Declan reaches out his two meter long arm so the camera can capture all of Ayana’s beauty. The host (Ayana) and executive producer (Declan) of the The Inside Job avoid throwing up on each other (this time), and match on purpose for a Fizzy Fancy Friday. Ryan brings out all the Kleenex as Ayana shares how coming onto Quarantining With The Chrises was a game changing experience. The Lemonade Queen calls the Chrises “C-level” performers and reveals guests to expect in Season Two of her show: singer, actor, professor, entrepreneur, business owner, dancer, yoga instructor, and sports therapist. Declan, the UK’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, arouses The Chrises with exclusive access to the new Marvel flick featuring Captain Covid and The Stork. The Chrises and The Richies end the show with four slow thumbs up.

The Space Mountain Insider gives tips for all those facing cabin fever, whether it’s in the Walt Disney World NBA bubble or outside. Before setting sail, Nick pumps up The Chrises to design a life with purpose, build momentum for 2021, and shoot for the moon.

August 19, 2020 Chris 43:06

Ben Ruvo, CEO of The Hidden Opponent, steps up to the plate to face the stigmas within sport culture on Mental Wellness Wednesday. The President eloquently talks about creating a safe space for student-athletes to share stories and support one another. Mental health is on a spectrum that includes both biological and environmental factors, and all student-athletes are collectively in the same boat with the uncertainty of the upcoming school year. Instilling systems to weather any storm, including COVID, The Hidden Opponent has implemented an umbrella system of Campus Captains to be mental health advocates across universities nationwide. Looking to be a part of the outstanding mental wellness support team, Ryan sends Ben an SOS and applies for a new internship within the organization. After inspiring The Chrises to start a new segment, One Word, Ben chooses “vulnerability” as the single term to sum up The Hidden Opponent. The man on a mission to continually learn and help others leaves The Chrises, and listeners alike, feeling great.

S02E22: The Chrises Believe They Can Fly with the CEO of Inspiration, Derek Pratt

August 18, 2020 Chris 50:09

Derek Pratt executes the first Leefy Organics sponsorship takeover of Season Two to put the new Prana bottle design on full display. Careful not to reveal all the secrets in his magical supplements cabinet, the model/actor/athlete/motivator wears not one, but two shirts for the first time all quarantine. While the face of Mortal Kombat’s Kano is busy building out his commercial and acting reels, Intern Ryan agrees to send Derek’s Instagram Reels (R.I.P. Tik Tok?) to the casting directors of Space Jam 2. Believing he can fly, Christopher Gardinier overlooks the fine print in the sand and nearly ends up with a broken wrist trying to backflip like Derek. The Chrises come to learn that Derek is a man who does a little bit of everything (except ice skate and golf), as he continues to motivate others to be one’s best self; believing there’s no better time than now.
