Chris and Tracy welcome Jon for a lively conversation about what makes movies rewatchable, why avoiding trailers can increase joy, and how small questions reveal big truths about personality. The trio closes with a candid look at helping kids steer tech toward creativity, not just consumption.

On this episode of C Your Ts, Chris and Tracy welcome a special guest — Chris’s big brother, Richard — for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious and heartfelt.

Richard has spent over 25 years building a national communications technology company from the ground up, but today he’s here to talk about something completely different: the films that defined his life. The brothers swap stories about late-night TV, the movies that pass “the hotel test,” and the unforgettable theater trips that still echo through their family memories.

From cult comedies and snow-covered crime tales to quietly terrifying villains, the conversation dives deep into how movies become soundtracks to growing up — shaping our humor, our relationships, and even the way we see the world.

It’s a mix of sibling banter, movie love, and unexpected insight — a perfect reminder that what we watch often says as much about us as what we do.

Stephanie joins Chris and Tracy in the studio for a conversation that starts as something simple — top 5 movies — and quietly turns into a character study.

We talk about why the stories we love are always messy, why “healing” never looks clean, and why some of the most important people in a system are the ones doing brilliant work in the background with no credit.

Stephanie also answers two of our standing questions:
• Are you a dog person or a cat person?
• …and which one are you, actually?

Then, we get into her Big Question:
“How do you take a vacation from your own personality?”

We get honest about being “the glue” for everyone else — at work, at home, with kids, with partners, with friends — and what it costs to always be the steady one. We talk armor, burnout, micro-escapes, and that weird guilt you feel when you finally let someone else carry things for a minute.

Plus: teachers, exhaustion, and why real change in schools never looks inspirational-montage easy.

New here? Welcome. Returning? Five weeks in a row. We’re calling that a streak.
