This week we welcome back Del!
This episode starts with jokes, side conversations, and yes, poop, before sliding into a more honest discussion about men’s mental health, stress, and delayed emotional processing. The guys talk about reacting first, brushing things off, and only realizing later that something actually stuck.
The conversation turns toward how men often cope by minimizing, using humor, or avoiding naming what’s wrong in the moment. It’s a mix of laughing, oversharing, and reflecting after the fact, exactly how these conversations tend to happen in real life.
Laugh first. Think later. Sometimes realize it mattered more than you thought.
If you or someone you know is struggling or thinking about suicide, help is available.
You don’t have to go through it alone.
Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the United States.
Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7.
If you’re outside the U.S., you can find local crisis resources at findahelpline.com.
Reaching out is not weakness. It’s a step toward staying here.
