In this heartfelt and unexpectedly insightful episode of Matters Not, Chris sits down with a very special guest—his seven-year-old nephew, Aiven. What starts as a lighthearted conversation about daily routines, school, math, and favorite colors quickly turns into a surprisingly thoughtful look at curiosity, emotional growth, and family bonds through the eyes of a child.

Aiven talks about his love for math, football, Formula 1 racing, and his ambitious dream of becoming an astrophysicist. Along the way, he shares honest reflections on friendships, boundaries, handling anger, and what he’s learned from mistakes at school. Chris uses these moments to gently explore bigger life lessons about self-discipline, learning from failure, and growing into a good person.

The conversation also touches on family trips, becoming a big brother, favorite animals, music tastes, and what love and loyalty mean at a young age. It’s equal parts funny, wholesome, and deeply human—reminding listeners that wisdom doesn’t always come with age.

This episode is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful conversations come from simply listening.

Buck is back—and Matters Not picks up right where it left off.

Chris and Buck reunite after the holidays to catch up on life, fatherhood, unfinished house projects, and the chaos that comes with both. The conversation moves from deeply personal reflections on Christmas as a single dad to family memories, loss, and the strange feeling of watching eras close.

From there, the episode takes its usual unfiltered turns—breaking down pop culture fatigue, Stranger Things, nostalgia-driven reboots, gaming and streaming culture, and how the internet has turned everything into performance. The guys dig into DNA tests, Viking ancestry, generational myths, and the absurdity of identity in the modern world.

Things get heavier as they discuss healthcare failures, identity theft fears, policing, protest culture, and how political division thrives on outrage and consequence-free behavior. Rather than picking clean sides, Chris and Buck wrestle with nuance, personal responsibility, and the reality that most situations aren’t as simple as the internet makes them.

As always, the episode blends humor, cynicism, introspection, and blunt honesty—wrapping up with reflections on education, life paths, and why sometimes dropping out, figuring it out, and building crocodile-skin accent walls might just be the most honest way forward

In this episode of Matters Not, Chris sits down with Damien, better known online as OnlyFits, a 16-year-old content creator who’s rapidly rising in the world of Roblox streaming through NFL Universe Football. Damien breaks down how a game many dismiss as “just Roblox” has turned into a legitimate business—earning him over $18,000, a top-10 player ranking out of tens of thousands, and a growing audience of more than 10,000 followers on TikTok.

Damien shares how streaming, smart in-game trading, and understanding digital item value allowed him to sell rare virtual assets for real money—including a single emote that sold for $850. He talks candidly about content creation at a young age, handling burnout, ignoring negativity, and learning patience and consistency while building a loyal community.

The conversation also dives into the NFL’s involvement in the game, the competitive ecosystem behind Roblox football, collaborating with other creators, and Damien’s role as a moderator helping combat cheating within the game. Looking ahead, Damien outlines plans to expand to YouTube and Twitch, including a unique trading-challenge series designed to turn a worthless starter item into one of the most valuable items in the game.

This episode is a fascinating look at how gaming, content creation, and entrepreneurship intersect—and proof that the future of digital careers is already here.
