An Interview With My Brother - DON'T BE SOUR EP. 70

Wrestling with the chaos of Los Angeles life, my brother Chase, 'Tuning the Elder', and I, Maxx King Dingling, stumbled into a hearty chat about the quirks and quandaries of our daily lives. Chase's insights as a health coach sprinkle wisdom on everything from the insanity of the LA housing market to the transformative power of morning rituals. We banter about the oddities of health trends and toss around the idea that maybe, just maybe, a frosty dip in a cold plunge could be the secret to living past 100.
Family, relationships, and the roller coaster of trying to conceive take us down a more intimate path. We swap tales of navigating the waters of love and marriage, laughing at the unexpected turns life throws our way, and how these experiences shape our personal growth journey. Whether it's the anticipation of adding 'Uncle Maxx' to my title or unraveling the complexities of building a strong partnership, we open up about the realities of life's most significant commitments.
Closing out with reflections that tug at the heartstrings, we honor the memory of our dad and the bittersweet recollections of family dynamics. It's a mix of nostalgia, hilarity, and candid conversation as we ponder the evolution of our family ties. So, grab a tangy snack and settle in for an episode that promises to tickle your funny bone and maybe, just maybe, make you crave a fresh start-whether it's in Texas, a morning routine shake-up, or just a new perspective on the everyday grind

I love the conversations between Maxx and Chase.. You can see how healing it is for both of them.

[@ChaseChewning]

FEELINGS! ❤

[@sarahjayy]

The ashwagandha mix up had me rolling 💀

[@maxxchewning]

lmao my brain be working WEIRD

[@aysitumari1064]

Max, when you said yoir brother is the GLUE. That was beautiful and your brother felt that.

[@christina7328]

The conversations Maxx has with Chase bring out a vulnerability that we almost never see in Maxx. More Chewning Bros. podcasts please. It’s clear you guys are able to have deep conversations and actually surprising to hear you aren’t that close because it really doesn’t seem like that in the podcast. Hoping you guys can build an even better relationship together and with the rest of your family. Would love to see a podcast with all the Chewnings! Get your sister on!

[@allenmurrell]

@Maxxchewning I called my brother tonight to check in. Had a great conversation. Thanks for the reminder

[@TTB0209]

Chase is the big bro of the whole potato nation, always got such good advice. Love how open and vulnerable you both are when you get on a podcast together. Glad you found your person Maxx!

[@claraschremp3920]

Love listening to both of you together. Chase is very wise and emotionally intelligent.

[@ChaseChewning]

But still an actual idiot 😅 - thank you!

[@OscarGarcia-mj7iw]

I love when Chase comes on! He has so much wisdom to share with the world! A lot of valuable information I took away from this pod.. I can’t wait to see him back on

[@oppermanfitness]

Had a girlfriend for 2 years absolutely zero issues until the last 6 months went on numerous vacations absolutely no signs of anything. Out of nowhere she cheats on me and turned out to be a women I didn’t even recognize anymore. Long story short anyone can change on you at the flip of a hat. Don’t think it can’t happen to you either. I’m not saying it will or not and hope everything works out but the moral of the story not everyone is who they seem to be. It’s unfortunate but it’s the truth.

[@JosephVega-qp1lt]

Facts. I was with a my hs sweetheart/fiancé for 7 years and she woke up one day and dumped me, and conducted herself on social media like I did her wrong. Started partying, etc. from calm and collective to a club goer 😂

[@oppermanfitness]

@@JosephVega-qp1lt exactly man they’re unpredictable but some are good just don’t think the unexpected can’t happen because it absolutely can.

[@perezc017]

Love that you want a closer relationship with your brother/family Maxx. For a Hispanic household that I'm in, family is most definitely very FAMILY oriented and can relate to Taylor very well.

[@danielramos326]

Wait until Chase and Maxx have kids and have to give bottles at 3am. Lol

[@ItsMeSoto]

this one hit another level for meI love the idea of family talking over a pod. lots of things can be learned

[@2009lafs]

Bro this episode has me in tears and how much our brothers dynamics are similar. 😢 jeez this episode I will rewatch for years to come as it brings comfort to my heart

[@ryanturner8577]

From someone that had his only sibling stop talking to me and the entire family years ago out of the blue, I can completely understand Maxx when it comes to wanting a good bond with family (especially chase as the brother). Family is real wealth, and having a good foundation of relationship with them is a huge bonus in life. I'd give up all the money in the world for it. Now I'm basically an only child and the only male with all female cousins all way older than me and one way younger than me.

[@drewbruce5266]

I love your podcasts and especially with your family on. You had me dying when you plugged ghost hydration 😂😂 seamless and perfect execution 🤙

[@tylermueller3205]

Love this episode! Just want to provide additional insights: 1. magnesium can act like a laxative, not really a diuretic 2. The recommendation for caffeine is up to 400mg daily for the average adult 3. L-Theanine does not significantly influence caffeine uptake or metabolism, but acts as a glutamate reuptake inhibitor and weak glutamate receptor antagonist, helping "smooth out" the caffeine stimulatory effect 4. The term "clinical evidence" doesn't mean what people thinks it means and it's frequently misused, especially in regard to brown fat because it's very difficult to use human subjects in a clinical setting for research. 5. To live a long healthy life try to avoid: Cardiovascular disease - via diet and exercise Cancer - avoiding obvious carcinogens (smoking, excessive sun exposure) Metabolic disease - diet and exervise Max nailed it when he said he prefers to get to work and not stress about a crazy morning routine that is ultimately low yield in increasing lifespan and healthspan.

[@julesa1180]

Two faves, Joe and chase. This chase podcast couldn’t have come at a better time. Love the chewnings 🫶🏻

[@maxxchewning]

THANK YOU!

[@medinasoccer04]

as a wellness guru myself, i LOVE when chase is on the pod 👌🏽

[@ChaseChewning]

Because health

[@GreatBritain65]

Real life solving. You are going to make such a great Husband to Taylor and a great Dad one day because of all your experiences. God has seen you through everything thus far and you can lean on him for support and comfort n every situation. God is blessing you in so many areas and we are blessed we get to see you grow and go through things and allow us in on. Max you are on a spiritual journey and it will all be revealed to you in His timing. Keep showing us your heart ,they are the best episodes. You content makes happy. Keep true to you, nobody else is made just like you and we are all here for it. P.S. Thank you for the massive box of Sour Strips you sent for all me Hairstylist at Great Clips in Michigan-they loved it!

[@cinma4890]

Love this podcast, brothers

[@LesleyCantorna]

I love Chase’s voice.. I actually found you thru Chase’s KZbin videos way back. Love you guys together.

[@maxxchewning]

He def has that radio host voice lmao

[@Logan-zi4vx]

Thank you for sharing some personal details about your life and family dynamics. A lot of what you talked about is something I have been thinking about lately and it's extremely nice to hear someone else work through it out loud. I have a twin brother and it's hard to describe the type of connection I have with him, even though we talk maybe once every month or two. I've also been wanting to become closer but just haven't found the best way yet. I'm also excited about your future and your friend group starting to have babies. I'm getting ready to start having kids soon as well and I giggle to myself thinking about raising kids at the same time and watching your videos to compare dad notes haha.

[@alwinhuynh]

Love that you asked Chase to be your best man here. Got the feels

[@RHarvz]

Watched all the way to the end. Had me thinking about my family dynamic! Thanks guys! :)

Maxx, you have an amazing OG as a brother. that's special.

[@the_weight_is_over892]

I love your brother, your playfulness remind me of me and my siblings. Can't wait for more chewning brothers

[@kangur8391]

Best yet

[@charlinnerivera5809]

Thanks for changing it up and bringing a different guest

[@skinspaforyou]

I can completely relate to your family dynamics- my 2 older siblings who are 10 and 8 years older than me, moved with my dad and me with my mom when they split. As adults we are not as close as siblings “should”, its heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

[@danamarie8636]

Learned alot with this.

[@kristinestes1793]

Loved this podder of you and Chase. Definitely think you and Chase can build the bond, only positive things will come from it and you’ll have a super close brother you can always go to no matter what. Chase moving to Austin would make it 10x easier. Hang out more, double dates etc. Building the family as a whole and calling your mom at least twice a week will definitely make a difference and grow the relationship. The call doesn’t even have to be long, just a quick call seeing how each are doing, wedding talk, business talk etc. Only positives and great relationships will come from it! I know you would have regret later on wishing you would have talked to ___ more or had a closer relationship with them!

[@ItsRandall22]

The Chewning Bros!

[@holdinourown]

Cold water splashed on the face and *sour candy* are great for stopping panic attacks and calming anxiety!! It's literal science!! ❤

[@mallonskeens0109]

When they’re done traveling I could see chase settling in the east coast. Having been here for almost two years the fact that you can hop on a train or drive two hours and be in a totally different environment is the best.

[@rp6852]

needed this episode. just saw the Instagram post, thank you for sharing your dad with us 🤍.

[@mikaylabeaulac]

I'm Canadian, went to Europe once in 2022 and feel IN LOVE. I moved to Europe 3 month ago and i've never felt more alive.

Two things can be true at the same time

[@abbytreers]

Maxx you should try some Olipop and Poppi flavors if you like carbonation! Some have caffeine and some don't, and the caffeine is always low!

[@maxxchewning]

Taylor gets them all the time!

[@victoriarussell8195]

Whilst there are benefits of using Ashwaganda, please be careful as it can cause raise liver results as I recently learnt when having blood tests at the GP... For a month there was concern that I might have had cancer because of these raise results, but as soon as I stopped taking the Aswaganda, it took about a month, but then my results went back to normal. Magnesium which they mentioned is also great one to help with sleep, especially if you are neurodivergent but you can't take it at the same time as other supplements as it'll affect how your body reacts to them, so best to have that one at night on it's own.

[@johncharp3369]

Hey maxx, just an idea for your wedding. It would be amazing if you save a seat with your dad's photo at your wedding reception. It was always my dream to have both my grand parents on my wedding but unfortunately both of them passed 8 and 10 years ago thats why when I got married back in 2022 i saved a seat for both of them with their pictures on the chairs.

[@Debbie_George]

1:46:35 No, not normal. Most divorcing couples keeps their kids together, no matter who has custody. The family I work for got divorced. If they would have tried to split the kids, I would have been in the news! Trust me! 1:46:35

Guys, just do the reserve cold shower. Take an extremely hot shower, when you step out the air will be cold and boom you get the same benefits without sacrificing your shower time.

[@pjw4125]

Chase said he goes and does a workout then does a cold plunge. I thought you aren’t supposed to do that after a workout?

[@ChaseChewning]

the thought there is that cold exposure MAY reduce the muscle building response so close to training, but it is sooooooo small I'm not worried. Maybe if I was a bodybuilder or something, but if anything it reduces the inflammatory response so I can increase my volume/frequency - I'm fine with it.

[@B1G613]

Did your brother suggest he was a maternal figure? Maternal as in mother.
