What happens when a man is physically or mentally abused and the system has no answers?
We talk about the crushing reality of seeking help only to be dismissed or redirected. Call a mental health resource? They say call 911. Call 911? They say it’s not an emergency. This isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous. And in moments where men are already barely hanging on, the system seems to say, “Deal with it.”
This is what started a powerful conversation after we listened to a voicemail from a listener—one that cracked open a deeply overlooked issue.
So what do we do when the very places designed to support us leave us stranded? Maybe it's time to build something better. A space where men can actually be heard, believed, and supported. We close the episode with that thought—and maybe, the start of a movement.
In Check-In, Tommy also shares a moment of clarity as he begins to piece together the next steps in his life, while Tim opens up about the pressure that's been closing in, forcing him to keep pushing forward in silence.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
