RAD Radio

If you’ve spent any time listening to me, you know that I don’t suffer ignorance gladly, and perhaps only when it is combined with arrogance does it become more reprehensible.   A confident person is able to form an opinion, calmly make a case for it using facts, logic, and reason, and listen intently to those who are willing and interested in doing the same.   An arrogant person forms a...

It’s amazing how just one word can take a seemingly innocent question and turn it into, at best, an ignorant position of privilege, and at worst, complete and total racism. In the aftermath of NFL Wide Receiver Henry Ruggs killing a woman and her dog while driving drunk in the early morning hours along the streets of Las Vegas at speeds as high as 156 MPH, a listener sent an email asking the follo...

The short answers to your questions are: Yes, you should be terrified and no, there isn’t anything you can do about it. I’ve spoken and written many times about the book entitled “2034,” authored by two veterans, including an Admiral, which spells out in chillingly realistic ways, how World War III will come to pass at the hands of China’s meticulous planning, plotting, and execution. I’ve read th...

My wife Christina joins me once again along with our friends Al and Danielle as we navigate the challenges of getting multiple couples together for Thanksgiving in a neutral location.

From there we dive into toxic masculinity, how Christina almost got into a fight at Aftershock, why you’ll see Al on TV this winter, and Maestro...

This week marks the 4 year anniversary for the RAD Prodcast. Thank you for all of your support in what seems to be a companion piece to my life in many ways. With all of the ups and downs that have occurred in the last 4 years, I can honestly call the Prodcast a mainstay in my evolution as a human but also as a broadcaster. It’s because of the amazing team I’m surrounded by that I’m...

I was torn this week…on one hand, so many of you depend on RAD radio to stay informed; that responsibility falls on me. I’m the “news watcher,” of the show and it’s my job to keep up with all that’s going on, decide what matters to most, and then translate it into something interesting and relatable. Sadly, one of the roles of the show is to also sift through the misreporting of both the mainstrea...

We explore the things that hold people back from their dreams and the ways people can, right now, begin wor...

It’s that glorious time of the year when all four major sports leagues are playing. With the NFL just 30% of the way into its’ season, both the NBA and NHL just getting started, and Major League Baseball about to crown a champion, it seems an appropriate time to point out that your team sucks. Not your sports team, your other team, if you have one, and it’s getting harder and harder to find people...

Vaccinated people are the worst. And I say this as a vaccinated person…any chance I can have the juice removed? The old joke is that a vegan, a cross-fitter, and an atheist walk into a bar…how do you know who’s who?...wait 5 seconds they’ll all tell you…because they can’t help themselves from bragging about how great they are. Covid Vaccinated people have jumped that line and become even more anno...

Erik the Sircles Squad Manager stops by to talk about his experience on the Sircles team as the ambassador on the streets, recruiting local businesses to the app that promotes positivity through community. Erik is also here to promote Sacramento's first formal Sneaker Gala Ball, bringing awareness to the alarming homeless statistics of the youth population in a fashionable way. The Sneaker Ga...

To paraphrase Anne Hathaway’s character in “The Dark Knight Rises,” “There’s a storm coming…and you better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you’re all gonna wonder how we were so stupid as to have created this next great self-inflicted mess.” See, I told you? Paraphrased, liberties taken.   After all of the insane stories we’ve heard about children with sniffles being sent home...

In my first 44 years of life, I never understood people who loved Labrador Retrievers…for starters, they’re the basic bitch dog, everyone has one, especially black labs. Plus, they’re dumb. Studies say that they are smart, but they’re not. They walk into walls, forget your commands, and constantly do the opposite of what they’re told. Hunters tell me that they’re great at doing their job of retrie...

I’m stealing from Queenie…shut up, it’s my birthday week. Last week, as we talked about things like vacations, concerts, and weddings, Queenie pushed back on how much she dislikes all forms of what she called “organized happiness,” further cementing the notion that she is the young female version of me. (Brilliant, self-aware, logical, and, most notably, humble). The hard truth is that whenever it...

  With a plethora of possible topics, I found myself struggling for a tone or direction this week.   It’s the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and there are endless things to be said, especially with the backdrop of America’s disastrous Afghanistan pullout last week. Countless false stories are being written about how America “pulled together,” after 9/11, and how different we’ve acted in the fa...

By popular demand, my wife Christina joins me and reflects on her year of deployment in Afghanistan and how she views the events of the past few weeks. Was her service, and the sacrifices of others worth it? She also shares some stories of her time there including the moment a detainee she was interrogating got his hands on her. There are some fun moments, too, like when we demonstrate how ou...

There’s a famous story about twin 5-year-old boys with opposite personalities that perfectly fits today’s times and our seemingly never-ending battle to find contentment and calm in today’s America.   Of the twins, one of them is chronically pessimistic, while the other is annoyingly optimistic. The latter of the two seems almost delusionally happy in even the most dour of circumstances. In a...
