Are You Sure About That?

Are You Sure About That? is a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Mario Hines and Chris Williams​. Everybody thinks they’ve got life all figured out… but are you sure about that? Join us as we break down the assumptions, the myths, and the surface-level narratives that shape how we see ourselves—and each other.​​We find that people aren’t having real conversations anymore. Because everyone has an opinion, but very few are willing to unpack why they believe what they believe. And because, honestly, we’ve been on both sides of the game — struggling and thriving—and we want to talk about it. This is the place where we challenge assumptions, explore perspectives, and have the conversations you’ve probably already had in your group chat—but with a little more honesty and a lot more intention.

    I Pledge Allegiance: Black Men In The Military

    In this episode of Are You Sure About That?, Mario and “20” explore the complicated personal and historical tensions that come with military service in the Black American community. Joined by Master Sergeant Myron Jones of the United States Army—who brings nearly 20 years of service and lived experience—they unpack the layered motivations that lead many Black men to enlist. Together, they examine the intersection of patriotism, economic opportunity, and long-standing stereotypes, asking deeper questions about identity, duty, and what it means to serve a nation while navigating its contradictions. From family legacy to financial mobility, the conversation reveals the real factors—both personal and historical—that shape the decision to wear the uniform. This episode challenges assumptions and invites listeners to think more critically about service, sacrifice, and the stories we tell about who joins the military—and why.

    Do Men Actually Want to Be Fathers?

    In their first episode under the WATZS Podcast Network, Mario and “20” dig beneath the surface of cultural assumptions, media narratives, and generational expectations to ask a question many avoid: Is fatherhood still something men dream about — or something they simply drift into?
