Conversation with the Chris's

Conversation with the Chris's

Hi, I’m Scott Miller—and I’ve got two friends named Chris. Sounds simple, but trust me, it makes for great conversations. Chris Byrum brings out my playful, lighthearted side. Chris Shirley? Well, he keeps us grounded (and yes, he really is that serious—so stop calling him Shirley). What started as game-day text threads turned into nonstop group chats… and now it’s a podcast. Conversations with the Chris’s is our weekly space to talk sports, faith, culture, and whatever random topic sparks a laugh—or a debate. We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We’re just three guys enjoying life, sharing perspectives, and hopefully giving you a few laughs along the way. If nothing else, we promise to be the most entertaining cure for insomnia you’ll ever find.
