From his journey as the first boy cousin in 30 years (no pressure) to becoming a self-taught musician and boba-slinging pro, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgic memories, and the kind of sibling-style roasting only cousins can get away with. Chris spills about his band Down by Dawn, life as a boba barista, and how family dynamics shaped him (including some hilarious nicknames).

Join Bevin and Jasmine in this heartwarming yet hilariously candid episode of The Sispatch as we dive deep into our current obsessions, childhood predictions, and those special, if not slightly awkward, sibling moments. We kick things off with a look back at what we thought each other would become—Bevin envisioned Jasmine twirling as a dancer or whipping up delicacies as a chef, while Jasmine... well, let's just say she was less sure about Bevin's future path. Expect a bit of sibling tea as we recount the tale of Jasmine's first period and Bevin's, shall we say, less-than-stellar support. We'll also cover our shared love for movies, musicals, true crime, and those long summer days spent swimming and making friends with stray cats. Don't miss our walk down memory lane filled with fashion missteps, fears of the dark, and favorite comfort foods. We wrap up with a rapid-fire question round that's sure to reveal more than a few surprises. Tune in for a dose of nostalgia, laughs, and a reminder of the importance of patience and understanding between siblings.
