In this episode, the fellas are joined by the hilarious and inspiring mental health podcaster and advocate, Kyle Moore. Growing up in rural Atlantic Canada, Kyle learned the hard way that mental health stigma is alive and well, especially for young men. But after experiencing severe suicidal ideation and reaching out for help, he realized that sharing his story and experiences can be a powerful tool for healing. Kyle also shares his experience of competing on Big Brother Canada, where he had to handle his OCD and anxiety in an environment designed to cause stress and paranoia. And let's not forget the "villain edit" he got, leading to some intense online harassment, including death threats and attacks on his family and friends. But with his humor, genuine curiosity, and unending passion for understanding people's stories, Kyle has used his podcast to reduce stigma, spread awareness, and champion unheard voices in the world of mental health. So join us for a conversation that will make you laugh, inspire you, and remind you that no matter what life throws your way, you can always find a way to keep moving forward.

Why We Sound Like a Wounded Animal When We Bend Over: Middle Age BS

The boys tackle the hilarious and often mortifying topic of the "middle-aged groan." You know the one — that strange noise you make when you bend over to pick something up, or stand up from a chair? Did you hear about the latest scientific discoveries from Beethoven's hair which has been preserved for almost 200 years? It turns out that Beethoven's chronic drinking, hepatitis B infection, and genetic risk for liver disease were likely the culprits behind his demise. Endo makes sex painful so someone made a product called an OhNut to help. It looks kinda fun! Total Recall is just around the corner — GET INTO THE CHOPPA... oh wait that's Predator.

Caring for the Dying: A Death Doula's Perspective

In this episode, Jer and Tay are joined by the delightful Brooke Manning, who's not just a poet, musician, and owner of the art space Likely General in Toronto, Canada. Nope, she's also a certified death doula! Brooke chats with the guys about all things death, from her Death Meditation Ceremonies (we promise it’s a lot more relaxing than it sounds) to the history of the funeral industry and how it turned death into a capitalist nightmare. But fear not! Brooke is here to bring death back to its roots and make it a more holistic, earth-forward experience. We also get into the nitty-gritty of grief - the good, the bad, and the ugly. Brooke reminds us that death can be beautiful and awakening and that bringing awareness to our impermanence can actually be enlivening.
