Episode 18 - Why are Hobbies Good for You?

In this episode we go on location to Dave’s house to discuss the positive effects of non-destructive hobbies on your mental health. I say non-destructive because if you’re a Dahmer or Epstein, your hobbies are probably not good for anyone - I mean, even O.J played golf to unwind…So yeah, we discuss how a good non-destructive hobby like playing an instrument, playing a sport, doing crossword puzzles or even playing video games can bolster your mental health, and how. We also discuss why men seem to not find time for their hobbies and what they can do to carve out that time. Crucially, you’ll find out where I was last week that I couldn’t post this and marvel as Dave discusses his vacation that he’s currently on and why there probably won’t be an episode next week. Yes….This is Dave and I was in Alaska (and Canada for a little bit)! My hobbies on the trip included "peopling”, eating, exploring, working out and basking in the cold weather (I live in South Florida where the lows are usually in the high 80’s this time of year).

Episode 17 - We Talk About Different Therapies

You wouldn’t wear one-size-fits-all shoes or condoms and therapy is the same: you need to find the style that fits you. In this episode we chat about what’s out there, how some of the different types/styles of therapy work and what they conditions for which they might work best. We basically touch on a few different styles and if you would like more information on any of them, feel free to reach out! FYI - We don’t get too much into the importance of your connection with the therapist.. This goes without saying but that might be the first and most important part of the process! Give a listen and hit us up if you have any comments/questions! Dave & Andres This is a public episode.

Episode 16 - Masculine Toxicity...err...Toxic Masculinity

In this episode we tackle the topic of toxic masculinity, and more importantly, what is legitimate and what is just opinion. More to the point, is a guy toxic just because he doesn’t believe he should cry or wants his woman barefoot in the kitchen? We quiz each other and as it turns out, we’ve got a decent handle on the topic. Spoiler: Just don’t be a dick. For the video consumers: We’re working to get that aspect back up and working, but the reality is our cartoon avatars are much more pleasant to look at. This is a public episode.

Episode 15 - We Discuss Financial Stress

This week we discuss how money can affect us guys both positively and (mainly) negatively. You’ll get to hear me expound on topics like the French Revolution, dick measuring and Married…. With Children. When we’re done, you’ll feel a bit better knowing that everyone feels awful about what money does to us, but also how human nature isn’t going to change our drive to get more of it.
