Welcome to a rare solo episode of Beware The Wild Animals. There’s a reason my solo episodes are rare.
When I am sans guest, I have to over plan what I’m going to say. I also think I’m funnier than I really am. Put these things together, and you get a short and sometimes cringeworthy experience to behold.
Most podcasters would never release an episode that fits this description. But, I’m not most people. I don’t fit in a box and despite what some people may think, I don’t always play by the rules. That's the point of this podcast, isn't it?
So, if you’re even a little curious and have nothing else to do for the next thirteen minutes, press play and have a good laugh at my expense. Oh, and you just might come away with a new outlook on life.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
