The Alpha Edge Podcast is back - and Kevin has $160 worth of pheromone soap to explain

Join Kevin English and returning co-host Coach Russell Medeiros for a conversation that starts with basketball controversy, takes a detour through questionable footwear and killer robots, and lands on a question worth asking yourself: Are you choosing how to spend your time - or is your phone choosing for you?

Kevin confesses to falling for an ad promising soap that would drive his wife wild. Spoiler - the subscription worked better than the pheromones. Russell weighs in on when Crocs deserve a man-card review, and an AI-generated Fight Club trailer gets Kevin’s hopes up before reality intervenes.

Then the guys get honest about something both are working on - mindless scrolling, the content they consume, and how quickly “just a couple of minutes” turns into another chunk of life they won’t get back.

If you’ve ever picked up your phone between tasks and resurfaced 20 minutes later wondering what happened, this conversation is for you.

In this episode:

• The WNBA eligibility controversy that kicks off the conversation.
• Kevin’s expensive experiment with pheromone soap - and an accidental subscription.
• Crocs, Birkenstocks, and the unofficial rules of the man card.
• A fake Fight Club trailer, a Terminator robot video, and figuring out what’s real online.
• Linda Hamilton’s Terminator 2 physique and the difference between movie-ready aesthetics and sustainable fitness.
• How social media feeds comparison, distraction, and content you never intended to consume.
• Why learning to be bored again might be a worthwhile challenge.
