I Can’t Believe I’m 60! From Hoops to Hip Replacement – Brian Butler’s Micro-Podcast

About I Can’t Believe I’m 60! From Hoops to Hip Replacement – Brian Butler’s Micro-Podcast

Host: Brian Butler – Retired educator, former Division 1 basketball player, author, and now… a guy trying (and sometimes failing) to stay healthy. Description: Welcome to I Can’t Believe I’m 60! From Hoops to Hip Replacement is a funny, honest, and all-too-relatable podcast about navigating life after 60. Hosted by Brian Butler, a former athlete turned retired educator, it explores the joys, challenges, and unexpected twists of aging. Each episode features candid conversations with Brian and his guests—friends, and individuals over 60 sharing their funny, insightful, and sometimes downright ridiculous experiences. From cutting back on fries (sort of), managing blood pressure, and navigating doctor visits to the daily struggle of resisting sweets, no topic is off-limits. Brian will also be open about his journey—the victories, the setbacks, and everything in between—as he strives to remain active, healthy, and positive (with varying success!). If you’re over 60 (or simply curious about what’s ahead), join us for laughs, lessons, and genuine conversations about embracing this new chapter of life. Because let’s face it—we might be getting older, but we’re still in the game! 🎙️ New episodes weekly beginning in April. Subscribe and join the conversation!

    "Behind the Camera and Beyond: Chris Jerry on Broadcasting, Soccer, and Life after 60"

    "On today's episode of I Can't Believe I'm 60! From Hoops to Hip Replacement! I'm joined by my good friend Chris Jerry, someone I first met in the mid-1990s when we both shared a passion for TV broadcasting. While I was in front of the camera as an on-air talent, Chris was behind the scenes as a producer, editor, and camera operator. We even produced a few cable access shows back in the day! Chris was born in Richmond, VA, in 1957 and moved to Northern Virginia in 1964, growing up in Bailey's Crossroads. He studied broadcast journalism in college but spent nearly 40 years working for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority before retiring in 2019. A lifelong sports fan, Chris has loved all sports, but his biggest passion has been soccer, which was a rare love for an American, especially a Black American, back in the 1970s. He also profoundly loves to travel and ride trains, which was his childhood dream. Chris discusses two major life events that have changed his life since his retirement and what he looks forward to in the next 5-10 years. He also discusses what he would tell his 30-something or 20-something self. I'm excited to catch up with Chris and talk about life in our 60s, shared media experiences, and everything.
