  • It's Giving 5k with Chris
    Apr 29 2026

    Shane McCarthy is back with another episode of I Said What I Said and this one takes a more personal turn than expected. After taking on the 5K with Chris, Shane opens up about the full experience, from the nerves beforehand to crossing the finish line. He shares how it actually felt in the moment, what pushed him through it, and the unexpected realizations that came with it. What started as a physical challenge quickly turned into something a lot deeper.

    Shane also brings listeners behind the scenes of the run itself, sharing the conversations he had with Chris along the way. From the advice Chris gave him to the honest chats that never made it onto social media, this is the side of the journey people didn’t get to see.

    The conversation takes a sharp turn. Out of nowhere, he starts firing the most random questions at Katie, and let’s just say… it does not go the way he expects. One particular question leaves Shane completely caught off guard, red faced, and instantly regretting ever asking it.
