Poker Grit, Masculinity, and Finding Community Again

In this episode of Suck It Up Man, Josh kicks things off with one of the most meaningful gifts he’s ever received—an artwork from his daughter that hits different when life gets heavy and perspective shifts. Wayne shares a surprisingly clutch “adult life” gift (the candle warmer lamp that saves the good candles), and the conversation expands fast with guest Andy Blum into poker culture, focus and self-control, weed/abstinence, integrity, toxic masculinity vs healthy masculinity, social media division, community, and why we’re losing the places where people actually come together. They also get into New York poker finally leveling up (Queens casino talk), how technology changes society, and why curiosity might be the real divide in the AI era. Real stories, real laughs, real ethics — and the one thing none of it works without: integrity.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
