Chase and May

Live from the Operation Podcast studio in Santa Monica, we sat down with two of our best friends from back in DC - Kim and Felipe. Before we pair off in a heated game of  Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader the four of us recap the  Love is Blind reunion and share who we think is legitimately happy, who needs to stay 100 feet from us at all times, and everything in between.

One year  to the day of the slap heard 'round the world - Chris Rock finally lets us know his thoughts about being slapped on live television by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars on his live Netflix special,  Selective Outrage .

We are  back! So sorry that we left you hanging last week, Chase had a family emergency pop up and needed to spend several days with his family in TX. In this week's episode, we give some fun life updates as well as deliver what will probably be a controversial take on Rihanna's 2023 Super Bowl half-time performance as well as Hollywood news regarding Alec Baldwin and one of the children depicted...

This one just might hit ya in the feels, fair warning! We sat down to unpack something that has been an item of great focus, work, and love - Chase's healing journey from the traumatic death of his father at age 19. Recorded shortly after the 18-year memorial of his passing, Chase is now finally able to talk freely and openly about what that loss did to him mentally, emotionally, spiritually and h...

Well, it's January 2023 and what is probably on all of our minds? New Year's resolutions! Love 'em or hate 'em, now is the time of year where most of us are probably setting goals for the year ahead of us. We wanted to share some of our intentions for 2023 with you all and invite you along our journey this year of (hopefully) becoming better versions of ourselves individually as well as strengthen...

Welcome to our first official episode! To get us started, we thought it would help set the stage for the rest of the show if we peeled back the curtain and shared who we are as individuals. We open up about our personalities and interests (the fun stuff), what we do in the world professionally (the adulting stuff), how our love story began (the romantic stuff), and everything else in between.  Con...
