  • Throwback Wheels: Proposing the Next Classic Car Craze

    Throwback Wheels: Proposing the Next Classic Car Craze
    Apr 10 2025
    Retro Jordans have captured the imagination of sneakerheads for many years and I believe that retro editions of classic automobiles (with modern tech) would do the same for car buyers and gearheads.

    This edition of the Chris' Two Cents podcast discusses why no one likes buying new cars anymore and why they hold on to nostalgia.

    How I'm being accountable for my personal growth...and how you can too!
    Apr 8 2025
    Listening to Steve Harvey's closing remarks on his radio show as I was doing my laundry inspired some thoughts about trying new things in order to succeed and it turned into another chapter in the open book of Chris Stevens.

    In this episode, I discuss how there's a time and a place to be selfish when it comes to your happiness and much more.

    How I'm Dealing With Weight Gain
    Mar 31 2025
    March of 2021, I was down to 218 pounds.

    Fly.

    Sexy.

    Handsome.

    Well, that's what I considered myself.

    Four years later, I've gained 60-plus pounds back and I've lost my confidence.

    This episode of Chris' Two Cents details that struggle and how I hope to get back to a reasonable size for me and hopefully let any man dealing with weight and body image issues that they're not alone.

  • Why Smokey Robinson's A Quiet Storm is still important 50 years later

    Why Smokey Robinson's A Quiet Storm is still important 50 years later
    Mar 26 2025
    On March 26, 1975, Motown legend Smokey Robinson released his third solo album since leaving The Miracles, "A Quiet Storm."

    In this episode of Chris' Two Cents, I review the album and explain how the title gave birth to a Black cultural touchstone and saved Smokey's solo career.

    Chris' Two Cents, Episode 5: John Cena: The American Heel
    Mar 5 2025
    Well...it finally happened.

    John Cena, after 20-plus years of good guy vibes, turned heel during what is expected to be his final run as a WWE wrestler.

    On this edition of Chris' Two Cents, I talk about why this is the best thing that could happen to Cena in his final days as a wrestler, why the turn is perfect for the state of America and why it's still not the greatest heel turn ever.

  • Chris' Two Cents, Episode 4: Write Your Own Story...The Right Way

    Chris' Two Cents, Episode 4: Write Your Own Story...The Right Way
    Feb 24 2025
    It's a very special edition of the Chris' Two Cents Podcast.

    This weekend, a young man whose high school career I covered shouted me out as "Mr. Stevens" and it made me feel old as fuck but honored that his folks gave him such a nice upbringing.

    It made me think of my own upbringing, as well as other thoughts about how accountability matters when making your way through adulthood.
