S02E25: Fancy Friday: British Edition with U.K. YouTube Power Couple, The Ritchies

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.

S02E23: Raising Awareness for Student-Athlete Mental Health with Ben Ruvo, CEO of The Hidden Opponent

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

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.

S02E21: Genre Bending with Multi-Talented Musician, Christian Sparacio

After an introduction ambush from Season One crowd favorite, Izzy B., The Chrises are joined by indie something singer/songwriter, Christian Sparacio. The triple backflip double toeloop swing set acrobat provides master classes on how not to spill a full glass of whole milk while mimicking the sound of a cow bell. In Christian’s quest to find unique ways to make rare sounds, the Team Chris quarterback/wide receiver seeks to turn his shoulder clicks into a polyrhythm. Concurrently, 3D prints of his infamous shoulder are being manufactured by Bill Nye the Science Guy to help fellow bartenders carbonate beer to reach an even tastier level. Always on the offense, but not easy to offend, the former collegiate student-athlete calls multiple audibles with an accoutrement of his new favorite head wear—beanies. Having developed a sense of home within himself, the Resident of the Earth takes the world into parallel universes with his cozy, Fireside Chat Monday rendition of his newest ethereal ballad, Pacific AM.

Magical Mystery Friday brings out all the surprises as The Chrises are joined by the unexpected and much welcomed Lobster King, Justin Wozney. South Bay’s very own Aquaman comes up for air to gab about Disney World turkey legs and beach bum ice cream. A staunch believer in a good thirst quench and chafe relief, the free spirit lets it fly with The Chrises about avoiding oceanic salt water in the loins and chasing waterfalls in Yosemite. After not being nominated for a prestigious @QWTChrises Best Guest Emmy (unlike both his Mother and Grandma DeYoung), Justin hits The Chrises with some tough news to swallow—he will be moving to Boston at the end of September. Wanting to continue the shared experience shredding the sweet quarantine life gnar gnar, the original trio replays nothing but the hits, just like 95.5 WPLJ.

S01E22: The Man of the Cloth and CEO of Plus Ones, Chris Zavodsky

Ryan starts “Be Kind, Rewind Week” off with a Season 1 favourite, Monsignor Chris Zavodsky.
