Ep. 53 - "Why Were We Allowed To Do That?"

Ep. 54 - "Talent Is Not Character"

In Episode 54, C-Rod and Nick examine why athletes, entertainers and other public figures are often given more forgiveness than everyone else when their behavior crosses the line. The conversation starts with a recent airport incident involving a retired fighter and opens into a much larger discussion about alcohol, addiction, mental health, celebrity worship and accountability. When does “I was drunk” provide context, and when does it become an excuse? How many times can the same behavior be called a mistake before it reveals someone’s character? And why do leagues, organizations and fans keep protecting people who continue to generate money? Nick also reflects on his own decision to stop drinking, what changed when alcohol was removed from his life and the difference between supporting someone and enabling them. Struggle deserves compassion, but compassion does not have to erase consequences.

Ep. 53 - "Why Were We Allowed To Do That?"

Episode 53 of The You Good? Podcast asks a simple question: why were we allowed to do that? C-Rod and Nick look back at childhood memories that feel completely normal to anyone who grew up in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s, but sound insane now as adults and parents. They talk about disappearing outside for hours, riding bikes with no helmets, drinking from hoses, building forts in the woods, playing dangerous games, growing up before constant technology, and the strange balance of wanting your kids to have freedom while also being terrified of everything that could go wrong. This episode is chaotic, funny, nostalgic, and very off the rails, but underneath it all is a real conversation about childhood freedom, parenting anxiety, and whether kids today are missing something we were lucky to have.

Ep. 52 - "The Butterfly Effect"

Episode 52 of The You Good? Podcast marks one full year of weekly episodes. But instead of doing a standard recap, C-Rod and Nick use the milestone to talk about The Butterfly Effect: the small choices, random people, unexpected opportunities, and tiny decisions that quietly change the direction of your life. From choosing a college by accident, taking a pay cut that changed a career, saying yes to trips, missing moments with family, starting the podcast, and learning not to wait for the perfect time, this episode is about looking back and realizing how much of life is shaped by decisions that didn’t feel important at the time. One year. Fifty two episodes. No missed weeks. Thank you for listening.

Ep. 51 -"We Didn't Know It Was The Last Time"

Episode 51 of The You Good? Podcast is about the moments we don’t realize are important until years later. C-Rod and Nick talk about old friend groups, childhood memories, college years, family dinners, people drifting apart, and the strange feeling of realizing a chapter of your life ended without you knowing it at the time. The episode also opens with a real Men’s Mental Health Month check-in, including an honest conversation about feeling overburdened, crying, family stress, and learning to let things out instead of carrying everything alone. This one is reflective, honest, nostalgic, and a reminder to appreciate today before it becomes something you miss tomorrow.

Ep. 50 -"The Big Daddy Alpha Supervisor" feat. Big Oja

Episode 50 of The You Good? Podcast brings back Big Oja for the show’s first true sequel episode. The last time Oja joined us, we talked about depression, grief, parenting, and the internet persona he was building through rage bait, construction jokes, and unfiltered comedy. Since then, that persona has exploded into millions of views, viral wrestling moments, WrestleCon stories, indie wrestling connections, band meetups, and real-life opportunities he never expected. In “The Big Daddy Alpha Supervisor,” C-Rod, Nick, and Oja talk about what happens when the joke becomes real. From Matt Riddle and Big Vito to Shinedown, August Burns Red, hate comments, loyal followers, mental health, fatherhood, and the dream of becoming a wrestling manager, this episode is chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly honest.
