Be On Purpose

In this episode of The Tinted Reality Show, Rio J and E. Fikes sit down to unpack life after getting furloughed — that strange moment when you realize you’ve officially entered your “Unk Phase.” From contemplating moves outside the U.S. to finding new purpose in uncertainty, the conversation stays raw, funny, and painfully relatable.
Of course, in true Tinted Reality fashion, things take a turn when the pizza man shows up… but to the wrong house. 🍕
Tune in for laughs, lessons, and a little chaos — because real life doesn’t come with a filter.

Later in the episode, we switch gears and chop it up about the upcoming football season—teams to watch, early predictions, and the excitement that brings people together in a whole different way.
