Ep 56 - Teenage Boys Logic: Chapstick, Trucks and Girls | The Radke Show
Tue Feb 03 2026
📝 SHOW NOTES
This episode is exactly what it sounds like when you put a microphone in front of a teenage boy and let the conversation go where it wants.
Melissa is joined by Rocco for a wildly honest, funny, and occasionally chaotic conversation about high school, history class struggles, faith, dating, trucks, golf, chapstick hygiene, and how teenage boys actually think.
There’s no tidy lesson plan here. Just real life, real parenting, real faith conversations, and a reminder that sometimes the best moments come when you stop trying to control the leash and just hang on.
