  • Be On Purpose
    Nov 4 2025

    In this episode of The Tinted Reality Show, we dive into what it really means to do life on purpose — showing up intentionally and refusing to just drift through the days. We talk football, focus, and the mindset it takes to keep chasing progress even when life gets loud. From discipline and direction to those unfiltered moments that remind us why we started, this episode is about owning your mission and finding meaning in the grind.

    If you’ve been moving on autopilot lately, this one will snap you back into drive.

  • Unk Phase of Life
    Oct 11 2025

    In this episode of The Tinted Reality Show, Rio J and E. Fikes sit down to unpack life after getting furloughed — that strange moment when you realize you’ve officially entered your “Unk Phase.” From contemplating moves outside the U.S. to finding new purpose in uncertainty, the conversation stays raw, funny, and painfully relatable.

    Of course, in true Tinted Reality fashion, things take a turn when the pizza man shows up… but to the wrong house. 🍕

    Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a little chaos — because real life doesn’t come with a filter.

  • Be In Community
    Aug 16 2025

    In this episode of The Tinted Reality Show, we dive into what it really means to be in community—not just living near people, but being surrounded by folks who show up, hold you down, and help carry the weight during hard times. From emotional support to sharing resources, we talk about why now more than ever, real community matters.

    Later in the episode, we switch gears and chop it up about the upcoming football season—teams to watch, early predictions, and the excitement that brings people together in a whole different way.

    Tap in for a real, unfiltered convo that blends heart, humor, and a little bit of gridiron talk.
