About this episode

Chris revisits his senior year detour—missing over 100 days of school, failing gym, and finding redemption at the YMCA. Ralph steps in with brotherly advice, and together the two reflect on what those struggles taught them about education, study skills, and bouncing back. The brothers also dive into this week’s Facebook Question of the Week: What was your favorite book, TV show, or movie as a child? Listener answers range from Sesame Street to Transformers to Charlotte’s Web, sparking a trip down memory lane.
