Always one to inspire, Kyle encourages everyone to “Keep Cougaring”.

The Chrises feature musical artist and sour milk enthusiast, Nick Horn. Nick talks about his hit quarantine EP album, Hoi Polloi, with New Jersey sunrise feels and California sunset vibes. The Chrises dive into Nick's Bill Nye The Science Guy approved discography including “Hungry Amoeba”, while Nick previews his upcoming release with The Fellas titled “Moving Targets”. The cross country journeyman has traded his stop, drop, and rolling in Southern California for the New Jersey welcoming gift of slightly used tube socks. Nick, a former Jersey Shore lifeguard veteran, teams up with The Chrises to compose a new song, “Mouth-to-Mouth”—set to debut at number one on the Billboard charts in 2028. Before Nick sets sail, he gives a moving live performance of “Tube Socks”, as The Chrises chase hearts in Solo Cup.

The Chrises are joined by International Resilience Expert, Dr. Taryn Marie Stejskal. The Chief Resilience Officer talks about her upcoming book “Flourish or Fold: Five Practices of Particularly Resilient People” and dives further into the practices of vulnerability, productive perseverance, connection, gratiosity, and possibility. Taryn, The Tic Tac Ph.D., provides a minty fresh take on the current times where loneliness is skyrocketing, depression is increasing, and divorce rates are jumping. As Halloween nears and discussions around the online dating trend of ghosting arise, the Bright Bomber's connection mysteriously disappears. True to practice, Dr. Taryn Marie is resilient with technology and gives The Chrises one last stroll down Sesame Street “R” Lane for some final survival tips for their new basil plant [hint: play music].

The Chrises are joined by their favourite traveling duo, QWTChrises Godparents Karissa Bustamante and Justin Wozney. On a cross country journey to Boston, the two lovebirds check-in from a Cleveland beer hall celebrating Oktoberfest. Justin uses his savvy street smarts to connect with a fellow street savant and find out the answer to an important Ohio riddle—what is round on the edges and high in the middle? Karissa discovers that her other half is stricken with a weak bladder and inept at packing, choosing to only bring along one pair of socks and sweats. Good thing for Justin, all their belongings will be waiting for them at their new residence on the 23rd of a to-be-determined month. Before heading off to the next chapter in their new life, The Godfather and The Godmother belt out one final song.

The Chrises are joined by the hottest artist on the planet and possible vampire, Suzanne Scott. The Nocturnal Painter talks about her recent solo exhibit celebrating womankind at Art Of Our Century titled “A Particular Group of Women at a Particular Place in Time”. For her show, Suzanne went under the thumbs of exceptional women to provide untraditional portraits based upon their fingerprints. Looking for the full therapeutic experience, Intern Ryan hands over his pink thumb print for a live reading of his essence.Suzanne's studio assistant, LouLou, takes time away from her Olympic winning naps to steal the show and somehow pour a glass of Hiatus Tequila— opposable thumbs be damned. While dog paw printing may not be on the horizon for this helicopter mom, Suzanne teases a gemological art show in 2022 that may include Great Scott wine, a champagne moat, and only real diamonds.

The Chrises are joined by cheese loving traveler and chicken mama, Casi. The Eating Gypsy talks about adopting mini dinosaurs a.k.a. chickens at the beginning of quarantine and watching them grow up to have their own secret Instagram accounts.

The Chrises walk down the runway to show off the new QWTChrises Hendrix Tie-Dye T-Shirts curated by today's guest of honor, John “Davey” McDavid Lehman. With two more months of quarantine foretold by seeing his birthday shadow (in July), Punxsutawney Davey took the luxury of time to hand-craft each shirt individually. This round of vibrant accoutrement was made with love, blood, sweat, and tears during the fermenting coloration process. The Collaboration Captain celebrates his laborious feat with an attempt to blow a kazoo from both sides before he starts working on The Chrises' 2023 wear— including a robe and a letterman's jacket.Loyal to the game, Davey fawns over his McMarden hand-stitched floral shirt and his Its The Sash pearl mask chain that is one part granny and two parts ASAP Rocky. With the intention to stay fly til he dies, Davey plans on avoiding riptides and movie theaters altogether for the rest of quarantine and beyond.

Prince Charming postpones his Dreams Fall Ball guest appearance with The Chrises and leaves them hanging with no Ocean Spray cranberry juice.

The Chrises are graced with the presence and essence of The Princess of Pop Culture, Justyna Kisielewicz. Poland's favourite daughter details her journey from having her artwork stolen to eventually being featured on the cover of Polish Magazine, Wprost. While always feeling like she was mentally born and raised in the United States, Justyna talks about how through hard work and the power of Instagram, she was able to make her dreams come true. Now living in California as a painter and looking like Dylan McKay with her glasses, Justyna has her sights on fulfilling her next big ambition—being featured next to David Hockney.

With a Grammy nomination as clear as the writing on the wall, Hannah practices her speech thanking both her mom and her dad's dahlias.

The Chrises catch up with cocktail mixologist and beverage consultant, Pamela Wiznitzer, for a black tie Fancy Friday. As The Chrises defy gravity and sweat it out in Los Angeles, The Original Soaring Queen gets excited about sweater season in NYC. While keeping busy with virtual events this summer and fall, Pam remains hopeful for the hospitality and restaurant industry's comeback as establishments begin to reopen. The Beverage Blender opens up about her wardrobe, creative process in making engaging videos, and alcohol collection large enough to start a reputable speakeasy. The Fancy Trio bond over their affinity for Costco's liquor selection and toast to time traveling right by 2020. With holidays coming and going, The Chrises get a flow chart of Jewish festivities, and there always seems to be a reason to clink glasses, mugs, and chalices.

Season One favorite and travel expert, Elyse Eisen, steps aboard a flight to virtual coast-to-coast travel to soar with The Chrises. Elyse gives some hot takes for travelers who are open to taking a trip under the hospitality industry's COVID-19 upgrades.

The Chrises unearth the nicest/oldest guests possible, The Dino DoGooders. Val Pinnock and Heather Price dinosaur-arm dance into the show to talk about how the prehistoric creatures are making a comeback for the ages. What started as yoga in an inflatable dinosaur costume has now become an international phenomenon; spreading love and joy to nursing homes through outdoor only, socially distanced fun. The Dino DoGooders have been featured on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Some Good News, multiple news outlets, and offshoot Facebook groups as far as Australia and New Zealand. The Chrises ponder the big questions with Val and Heather, like what cars do Dinos drive and whether Dinos have innies or outies [hint: Prius + onnies]. New words are generated for next year's Merriam-Webster edition and futuristic ideas are created. Can we almost certainly expect Dino snow angels, Dinos directing traffic, and maybe even a Dino DoGooders line of costumes?

“Ryan was here” is suspiciously graffitied on the wall as The Chrises go live without any technical support from M.I.A. Intern Ryan. The Chrises stay committed to Fancy Friday and ponder the origin story of cotton candy. Even though Chris & Chris look sweet in their ties, one of them gets called out for wearing the exact same dirty clothes as yesterday. Christopher Joseph makes the argument that a tie makes a person automatically smell good, while Christopher Gardinier counters that a necktie in no way makes you odorless. Agreeing to disagree, The Chrises conclude that Behr Marquee paint may be false advertising with their one-coat guarantee, and the new paint canister tops are a struggle-and-a-half to open. Why can't they just paint it all black?!

Back at paint school, Christopher Gardinier cuts a perfectly straight line while Christopher Joseph forgets that shoes and paint mix together. Ryan is moving in with his new girlfriend, so The Chrises decide to come out of retirement to paint his new place Infatuation Pink. The once formidable duo review some of the bare necessities when painting and a few of their favorite products: Purdy Paint Tools's XL Dale Glide and Frog Tape's green tape top the list. In the midst of a heated debate about the consistency of grapes, The Chrises get their first ever potential spam call live on-air and ask their new friend about his thoughts on cotton candy flavored grapes. Unfortunately, The Chrises' shortest lived companion is unable to settle the debate due to work concerns—annoying! Undeterred, Christopher Joseph puts in a verbal commitment to join forces with unreliable Intern Ryan and apprentice one day under @IdahoPainter.

The Chrises open with some fresh hairdos, sweet Pupformance attire, and a shipment of coronavirus religious tracts compliments of The Dr. Of Love. Mabel the Pup, Aunt Jody's Golden Girl, joins the program as the first pooch of honor and The Chrises share her origin story. A debate over the best pet ensues, as Christopher Gardinier agrees with Mabel that dogs are truly a human's best friend. Christopher Joseph and Ryan reveal their scheme to adopt “Will” the ferret—the closest mammal to a squirrel and cat. Chris and Chris both agree that birds rank lowest on the pet totem pole and should never be caged. Before The Chrises head out, they give a 5-star review of Surkerco professional level hair clippers—a night and day difference from cutting hair with a Wahl beard trimmer.

The Chrises enter looking colorful in their @TieDyeForTumors shirts and masks for National Voter Registration Day. Feeling inclusive on the first day of fall, The Chrises finally give Intern Ryan the chance to spill the beans about his recent road trip. After being left somewhere near Idaho Falls, Idaho, Ryan picks up a girlfriend(!) and befriends a mysterious Hawaiian man named Uncle Pineapple. Things take a turn as Uncle Pineapple directs Ryan to a secret hot spring stream portal where Ryan almost gets sucked into another dimension. Narrowly escaping, Ryan and his gal pal hitchhike their way through Idaho with potatoes as currency. In Utah, Ryan decides to spice up his taters and stops at the city of salt, Salt Lake City, and home of provolone cheese, Provo. Feeling energized from his culinary experiences, Ryan spends an exquisite night in the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas before making his way back home—forever a King of Idaho.

The Chrises return from Ryan's Road Trip with a ton of mail and a live unboxing extravaganza. Lucky for Intern Ryan, Molly Suds sent a massive box of laundry and fabric products for all his funky smelling clothes from his hitchhike expedition back from Idaho. The Chrises are impressed with the biodegradable, plant packing peanuts and decide to chomp down on some while concocting an ingenious plan to start a cotton candy packaging material company. Chris & Chris also receive a pair of matching tie-dye shirts and masks from a clothing brand with big hearts, Tie Dye For Tumors— benefiting families fighting brain cancer in honor of their sister, Alley Hoza-Rodela. The longest journey award goes to Rising Springs Source, with hand delivered, straight-from-the-source water that only took a 16,000 year, granite protected pilgrimage to The Chrises door.

Intern Ryan becomes a member of the Quarantining With The Chrises team on the first ever Fancy Friday. The Chrises dance into everyone's hearts to R.E.M.'s “It's The End Of The World” and feel fine enough to clear the air, as first time caller and long time listener, Matthew Baker (Baker) The Touchdown Maker, joins the fun. Bubly, the Odoul's of White Claw, is plugged by Baker as his non-alcoholic seltzer of choice as he stays inside and showers multiple times a day to fill his quarantine time. The Fray's discography is dissected by the guys, and Fun Employment Baker saves a friend's life with a 100-yard, non-contact socially distanced Tylenol toss. Covid Cooking is launched with the herb master himself as he shares how his kitchen is akin to a Food Network program. Baker departs with some final coronavirus hot takes: Don't catch Covid, don't let your roommates leave the house, and ignore all dogs (note: the ability for dogs to get Covid has since been debunked).

The Chrises rewind on Throwback Thursday for “Be Kind, Rewind Retro Week” with a family flashback featuring not one, but two guests: Jeffrey Janssen and Michael Gardinier III. Big Jefferson opens up the episode with hot takes from the early Covid quarantine grocery craze. The connoisseur of tushy tissues and tree costumes gives the rundown on his daily sanitary routine and which sock he puts on first [hint: it's like a Twix]. Michael, a superior trained athlete, comes in heavy with his 10-pound dumbbells and .625 tee-ball batting average to give important fitness tips— quit if you're better than the teacher. The Doctor of Love, who has been married once and engaged four times, gives expert romance advice and talks about his ideal woman: someone who is sexy and smart alá Toy Story's Bo Peep.

Ryan starts “Be Kind, Rewind Week” off with a Season 1 favourite, Monsignor Chris Zavodsky. The Man of the Cloth speaks on his early quarantine abstinence, and his angel hands that are solely designed for intramural defeat. Terrible TVs biggest advocate preaches about his journey into trashy programming and the Holy Order of shows ranked on his podcast network ChurchofZ.com. The CEO of Plus Ones dishes on his summer wedding lifestyle and shares how all the kings and queens can excel at the reception by following the golden rules: never leave the dance floor, compliment the bride at least 35 times, and boogie with the tipsy aunt at least once. With the possibility of virtual weddings on the horizon, The Z Witch Project takes the Chrises on a tour of Hoboken and shares the one rule he lives by: No carbs on carbs.⛪️ Special Guest: Chris Zavodsky, https://www.churchofz.com/

The Chrises go sliving through Fancy Friday with The Godmother of Podcasting, Daniela Garcia. The Founder and CEO of PodBooking—the hottest podcasting social platform—talks about her revolutionary network to connect podcasters, engineers, networks, and brands. Excited for the official November 1st launch of Pod-Booking.com, The Chrises throw their hats in the waitlist pond to become beta testers. The Podmother though does give a hot podcasting tip on defining the ideal listener; a preview from her partnership with the upcoming Leadership Requested Webinar. After breaking the Internet with consistency and genuine engagement, Daniela is on a quest to help smaller podcasters monetize and grow faster. She encourages The Chrises to keep doing what they are doing after Ryan's Road Trip: giving back, collaborating, themed days, and featuring interesting guests.

The Chrises get the notebooks out and scribble down ecological restoration suggestions from Captain Planet himself, Scott Atkinson. The John Hopkins Environmental Sci & Policy master's student teaches listeners about forest fire suppression, the relation to the current Northern California wildfires, and the importance of cleaning up fuel sources. After recently pulling up his britches and operating a chainsaw to help clear a friend's fire threatened property, Scott is potentially qualified to be a full-time farmer. Looking to capitalize on the animal cam trend, Scott set up a video recorder inside his owl box perch despite one minor issue— a nighthawk has yet to pay the Atkinson family a visit. His daughter and future Forest Ranger, June, swoops in and steals the show with a brief appearance that sparks a new merchandising idea to sell QWTChrises branded slippers (link in bio coming soon). Scott, a 37-year-old father with a 9 to 5, forgoes a pro surfing sponsorship to train for WSL Mavericks, and he can officially hold his breath longer than the Chrises as a recent recipient of a free diving certificate. Part-Time Beekeeper and activist for all, Scott sends The Chrises home with some lavender honey, books on trees, and a donation to The Chrises' No Hair For Care GoFundMe campaign to help support children's cancer camp, Okizu [https://www.gofundme.com/f/no-hair-for-care].

Joy Morgan makes a QWTChrises pitstop on her interdimensional road trip journey between Brooklyn and Portland to advocate for radical environmental change. On a personal quest to turn New Jersey's Pinelands National Reserve into a National Monument, Joy discusses setting up cameras to watch snake dens, as The Chrises encourage her to capture the Jersey Devil. With still so much more to learn about public land management, Joy suggests some low cost ways to upgrade urban planning— including permeable sidewalk pavers to replenish its natural aqueducts with rain water. Joy addresses listener questions about the waste produced from plastic vs. reusable water bottles, and how the Guppy Friend prevents microplastic pollution that results from laundering synthetic garments. The Eco-Inspiration To All talks about the upcoming Marketplace Of The Future, an innovative, interactive, and Zelda-esque World Fair of Tomorrow. Last but not least, Joy encourages everyone to do tiny, little things to make big changes such as buying reusable and compostable products from Package Free Shop, and repurposing grocery vegetable bags to cover and store food.

The Chrises go full steam ahead and ride the waves with Art Ambassador, Erik Abel. A lifelong surfer, Erik finds inspiration from his happy place—the ocean—and from animals. The Wave Doodler uses painting as a way to escape reality and lucky enough for him, people continue to purchase his prints and originals to bring a little piece of the sea and nature into their homes. When Erik is not busy teaming up with the Community Cause of the Week, Save The Waves Coalition, to design compostable phone cases and other wonderful pieces of art, he's exploring his artistic freedom with his not-so-secret identity, Abstract Pursuits. Inspired by Erik's artistic alter ego, Ryan gets feedback on his “pothead”, and The Chrises receive a face painting lesson. The Art Entrepreneur also delves into business ideas with The Chrises including: Bourbon & Bread (a new chic restaurant), abstract toilet paper art, bearded portraits, and paint by numbers. Before Erik leaves to teach his kids about the lost art of sliced bread ball making, he drops the cheat code for all artists.

The Chrises venture out to the Sunshine State smelling fabulous, without an overpowering odor, to get all-natural clean with Molly's Suds Founder and CEO, Monica Leonard. After selecting every Molly's Suds employee as her favorite, Monica activates her current product preferences, the twin powers—super powder laundry detergent and stain spray. The entire sustainable product lineup is without petrochemicals, solvents, dyes, and pesticides; making them always safe for people and the planet. With thorough research and comprehensive, green ingredient labels, Molly's Suds truly takes the guess work out of purchasing harmless, yet effective, clean solutions. Monica also dishes with The Chrises on Molly's Suds sustainable packaging and local environmental initiative— her brick-and-mortar store, The Refillery in Saint Petersburg, Florida. After teaching the community about waste, The Clean Queen hints at an upcoming product (hint: it may or may not be soap) and leaves little footprints on The Chrises hearts.

The Chrises skip across the pond with the wedded duo that always cross their mind, Ayana and Declan Richie. After his better half spends hours in hair and makeup, Declan reaches out his two meter long arm so the camera can capture all of Ayana's beauty. The host (Ayana) and executive producer (Declan) of the The Inside Job avoid throwing up on each other (this time), and match on purpose for a Fizzy Fancy Friday. Ryan brings out all the Kleenex as Ayana shares how coming onto Quarantining With The Chrises was a game changing experience. The Lemonade Queen calls the Chrises “C-level” performers and reveals guests to expect in Season Two of her show: singer, actor, professor, entrepreneur, business owner, dancer, yoga instructor, and sports therapist. Declan, the UK's Dr. Anthony Fauci, arouses The Chrises with exclusive access to the new Marvel flick featuring Captain Covid and The Stork. The Chrises and The Richies end the show with four slow thumbs up.
