Social media personality, YouTuber, and entrepreneur Maxx Chewning is here to help us all laugh a bit more while also learning from some of the most successful people in the world in a way you have never heard their stories before. Thanks for CHEWNING in!

Don't Be Sour

Welcome back to the pod! In this episode, we kick things off swapping New Year's stories, talking about wild neighborhood parties, and the chaos of fireworks season. There's plenty of friendly roasting, a few questionable parenting confessions, and some classic "back in my day" tales that'll have you laughing (or cringing).
 
We get into some real talk about HOA drama, barking dogs, and the art of being a good neighbor. Then it's off the rails with stories about mudding, off-roading, and the time someone's Jeep didn't quite survive the adventure. Plus, we dive into some unexpected territory with daycare scams, government fraud, and a heated debate about who's really running the show in Minnesota and Venezuela.
 
To wrap it up, we get into food cravings, soul food recommendations, and a little bit of everything else—guns, sagging pants, and why Cracker Barrel is apparently the most controversial restaurant in America. If you're here for laughs, hot takes, and a little chaos, you're in the right place. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Ep. 142 - Chaotic Rants, Venezuela Capture & Day Care Scams

As we close out 2025, the final episode of the year on 'Don't Be Sour' is unlike any other. Join us for a lively, five-way conversation featuring Maxx Chewning, Christian Guzman, Russel Orhii, Joe Knows, and Shawley Coker. The episode kicks off with discussions about the oddities of not using headphones and the dynamics of podcast conversations.
 
We dive into everything from Maxx's funny text messages to racy humor and deep riffs about global warming, the existence of dinosaurs, and AI's role in our future. Wrestling with big ideas and personal opinions, the group also reminisces about unforgettable moments, from Christian's business milestones to heartfelt talks on the essence of achieving balance in life.

The group dives into relatable stories about holiday shopping, hair loss journeys, and the joys and struggles of pet ownership.
 
As the discussion unfolds, the hosts share candid thoughts on fitness trends, the realities of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and the ongoing debate around "natty" claims in the fitness industry. They also swap stories about sports skills, friendly competitions, and the importance of staying active as life gets busier.

Ep. 140 - Joe is Having a Baby, Dumb Real Estate Purchases & Influencer Rants

This episode opens with pure chaos: a toilet-water cold open, Maxx accidentally handing out sink water, and Russell getting surprised with a massive 60-pack of wooden hangers. The group slides right into their usual rhythm — roasting each other, questioning life choices, and joking about personal style shifts like cowboy hats and Spotify Wrapped embarrassment. From there, they jump into AI music, Drake theories, and the surprising quality of AI-generated songs, even attempting to generate a country track about the podcast on the spot.
 
The middle of the episode takes a sharp turn into heavier territory: Diddy allegations, Tupac and Biggie conspiracy questions, and a surprisingly detailed breakdown of crime, bullet tracing, shoot/don't-shoot scenarios, and the Oscar Pistorius case. That flows into a long, surprisingly thoughtful conversation about money. OBJ's comments about a $100M contract "not being enough" spark discussions on taxes, lifestyle inflation, athlete culture, and the pressures young stars face. Maxx shares a wild story about someone blowing through $20M and ending up with only $25K, leading into a bigger conversation about race, culture, and why certain communities feel more pressure to flaunt or financially support extended family.
 
The episode wraps with lighter sports energy: Maxx's first "real" NBA game experience, the Rockets beating the Suns, Kevin Durant hitting free-Chick-fil-A threes, and thoughts on why NBA arenas feel different now. They finish with Harlem Globetrotter myths, half-court shooters, and the realities of elite athleticism — including Joe's legendary story of getting dunked on by Justise Winslow and taking a freshman's nuts straight to the face. A classic Don't Be Sour episode: unfiltered, chaotic, and weirdly insightful.
