RobLive: What Happened to Jim

"I saw a mound of mass blackness... he told me I was at an 80% chance of losing my eye." Happy 2026, folks. We’re kicking off the new year with an episode unlike any other. After a few weeks of silence, James Chance opens up about the terrifying medical emergency that kept him away from the studio and his students. From emergency surgeries with Dr. Thinda in Fresno to the mental battle of potential blindness, James shares the raw truth about his recovery and the lessons learned when you’re forced to slow down. We’re moving forward in 2026 with gratitude. Take nothing for granted. In this episode: The signs of a detached retina you shouldn't ignore. The reality of three eye surgeries in four months. Overcoming the "downward spiral" of medical depression. Why we’re more committed to this show than ever.
