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.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome back to The You Good? Podcast! In Episode 49, we sit down with Kylie Reynolds, owner of Amazing Animals Inc., to talk about what it really takes to build a life around animals, education, conservation, and nonprofit work. We get into old college memories, the chaos of house parties, her early animal work at Discovery Cove and SeaWorld, what people misunderstand about animal care, and how Amazing Animals grew into a preserve with over 100 animals. This episode is funny, heartfelt, and full of stories about purpose, sacrifice, and the animals that make all the work worth it.

Welcome back to The You Good? Podcast! Episode 48 is a special panel debate episode featuring PapaGino and The Oofman. During COVID, C-Rod ranked every MCU movie that had been released at the time, and the list caused plenty of controversy with Marvel fans. Now the panel is putting that list back on trial. Iron Man 3 at number 3, Civil War outside the top 10, Black Panther near the bottom, Endgame, Infinity War, Spider-Man, The Avengers, Winter Soldier, and more all get debated in a chaotic, funny, comic book nerd showdown.

Welcome back to The You Good? Podcast! In Episode 46 we talk about memory, parenting guilt, old movies, old shows, and what happens when someone else remembers the same moment in a completely different way. From childhood stories and parents carrying guilt, to rewatching the movies we loved growing up and wondering if they actually hold up, this episode is about how memory protects us, how nostalgia shapes us, and why the truth doesn’t always belong to one person.

Welcome back to The You Good? Podcast! In Episode 45 we sit down with Andrew Dalton for a real conversation about parenting, autism awareness, military life, structure, pressure, and what it means to keep showing up when life changes faster than you can prepare for. Andrew shares what it was like learning his son Ollie was on the autism spectrum, how that changed his expectations but never his love, the fight to get back home while serving in the Navy, and the lessons his son has taught him about patience, understanding, and seeing the world differently. This one is honest, vulnerable, and important.
