EP - 33 "Palm City Chucks"
In this episode of The Slanted Attic Experience, Tyler sits down with Kris and AJ, co-hosts of the Palm City Chucks Podcast, for a high-energy, no-holds-barred conversation that covers everything from hometown heartbreaks to fantasy football obsessions. Whether it’s breaking down playoff predictions, diving into dynasty league debates, or just venting about the state of their teams—this one’s for the diehards.
They kick things off with the story of how Palm City Chucks came to be, then dive into a whirlwind of sports talk spanning the NFL, college football, and more.
Guest Panel:
AJ – Hailing from Palmyra, PA, AJ somehow backs the Red Sox, Celtics, Lions, and Liverpool FC (blame Calvin Johnson and FSG). Since his college days, he’s added Penn State football to his list of loyalties and now lives in Madison, WI, working as an engineer at Epic Systems. When not watching sports or snuggling his English Mastiff, Daisy, AJ stays active across volleyball, soccer, golf, and more.
Kris – A proud Philly sports fan through and through, Kris has stuck by the Eagles, Sixers, and Phillies through thick and thin. Rooted in Jersey, raised on SEC football, he pledges allegiance to LSU, and balances his passion for sports with life alongside his fiancée, Morgan. If he’s not talking football with AJ, he’s probably planning the next tailgate or trash talk.
