This week on Sippin on Excellence, Coach KJ and Doc Hunt sit down with actor, writer, director, and certified body-roll queen Lennon Parham to talk about the real life behind the laughs. From cutting her teeth in the improv world to co-creating and starring in shows like Playing House and Best Friends Forever, Lennon breaks down what it means to build a career in comedy on her own terms—on stage, on screen, and in the writers' room.

We dive into how she navigates the beautiful chaos of producing, acting, and creating while also being present at home as a partner and mom. Lennon gets honest about ambition, boundaries, and why joy has to stay at the center of the work, even when schedules are insane and the industry gets weird. If you've ever wondered how to chase a creative dream without burning out—or burning down your family life—this one's a masterclass in doing both with heart and humor.

In this episode of Sippin' On Excellence, Coach KJ and Doc dive deep into one of the most personal questions you can ever ask yourself: "Is the world a better place with you in it?" What starts as a reflection on purpose quickly unfolds into a raw conversation about identity, self-worth, and the hidden fears that shape how we show up.

The guys unpack what "poor" really looks like—not just in your bank account, but in your mindset, your relationships, and your spiritual health. They explore why so many of us fumble the good things in our lives, how fear of success can feel just as paralyzing as fear of failure, and the subtle ways imposter energy creeps in even when we appear confident.

Together, they challenge listeners to look beyond external achievements and ask, What is my true life goal? Beyond service, beyond the grind, what does my contribution give back to me? And when success finally comes, does it fulfill me beyond money and metrics?

This episode isn't about easy answers—it's about confronting the truth of who you are, why you do what you do, and whether the world truly benefits from your full, authentic self showing up.

Ever wish you could go back and drop a few truth bombs on your 20-year-old self? Or shake some sense into your 30s version before life's real curveballs came flying?

In this week's episode Coach KJ and Doc Hunt, now both in our 50s and battle-tested by time, pour up a candid and brutally honest conversation about the lessons we've learned through our 20s, 30s, and 40s.

We dive into the mindsets, mistakes, and maturity gaps that shape men and women through each decade... from chasing money and validation in our 20s, to redefining success and relationships in our 30s, to finally realizing what really matters in our 40s. We wish someone had given us this back then!

Expect wisdom with a twist of humor, a dose of humility, and a whole lot of real talk. Whether you're just starting out or trying to find your rhythm mid-life, this episode is part mirror, part map, and all grown-folk truth.

Grab your glass, take notes, and sip with us as we share what we finally understand in our 50s—that every decade teaches you something the last one couldn't.

Friendship is supposed to be simple—until life throws religion, politics, and gender dynamics into the mix. In this episode we take another shot at that age-old debate: Can men and women really just be friends? Then we push it further: Can friendships or relationships survive when you're on opposite sides of belief systems, whether faith or politics?

Doc and Coach KJ don't shy away from the tough stuff. They break down what makes connections thrive (or fall apart) when values clash, why "agree to disagree" isn't always enough, and how mutual respect might be the only bridge strong enough to carry both love and friendship across deep divides.

If you've ever questioned whether opposites attract, or eventually implode at the thought, this one's for you.

This episode is exactly what happens when the mic's hot and we've had enough. No script, no filter, just two grown-ass men talking about the wild stuff we've been seeing, hearing, and side-eyeing lately.

We talk about the growing number of "experts" giving advice on relationships and gender dynamics without lived experience to back it up. We explore how people tend to support success… but only when it doesn't challenge their own insecurities. We get into the dangers of repeating false narratives so often they start to feel like truth, and how hard it can be to break free from that cycle. And we take a deep dive into one of the most misused buzzwords out there: emotional availability. What does it really mean? Why is it used as a weapon against men? Who's actually emotionally available—and who's just throwing around the phrase to sound deep? Finally, we touch on the impact of how rejection lands differently for men and women, and why nobody wants to talk about that honestly.

This is one of those episodes where we just let the conversation flow—and it led us to some raw, personal, and thought-provoking places. Come sip with us.

This week on Sippin' on Excellence, Coach and The Doc refuse to play it safe. We dive into the conversations most people avoid for fear of rocking the boat… but the ones that desperately need to be had.

We start with the harsh realities of ICE raids and the inhumane way people are criminalized and degraded, pulling back the curtain on what silence costs us as a society. From there, we pivot into the personal: relationships shaped (and sometimes shackled) by religion, the illusion of "chaos as excitement," and the subtle dynamics of dating outside your so-called "weight class."

We ask: What kind of energy are you putting out into the world? How much of yourself do you pour into others, and when that energy isn't reciprocated, what then? Should reciprocity be expected, or do we need to learn how to communicate the way we want to be treated?

This is a wide-ranging, raw, and necessary conversation, one that challenges you to step outside your comfort zone, examine what you truly want, and start practicing agency through fearless, open dialogue.

On this week's Sippin On Excellence, we sat down with our friend and Hollywood gym owner, Jerry Housey, a man whose hustle could power a city block.

We talked about his grind during the pandemic, the art of building a family while building a business, and his journey from college football to navigating bold career moves. That road led him to creating one of the most respected and tight-knit gym cultures in Los Angeles.

Jerry also opened up about his do-or-die attitude — and his core belief that every single day, you do exactly what you say you're going to do. No excuses. No shortcuts. Just discipline, consistency, and grit.

This was a powerful conversation about work ethic, leadership, and creating a life you're proud of — inside and outside the gym.
