  • Misogynistic hate speech

    Leaving this here because they delete any negative comments on their social media. This podcast is disgusting and harmful. Any young men seeking mental health advice - please don’t listen to this. Seek professional help.

  • Missed the mark

    Men’s mental health absolutely needs to be spoken about and supported more but this podcast is NOT it. Terrible listen and so not helpful for mens mental health.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#109: The Curly Show | A Raw Chat About Purpose, Pressure & Mateship
Q: What sparked the decision to pursue a transformative journey abroad?
The guest explains a need to escape his familiar environment, confront trauma, and re-evaluate life away from crowds, leading to a journey that included ayahuasca in Peru and a long period of solo reflection.
#101: Could Low Testosterone Be Wrecking Your Life?
Q: How important is blood testing in deciding TRT?
Blood tests, including total and free testosterone as well as related markers like PSA and hematocrit, are essential; decisions are based on symptoms and objective levels, and testing frequency adjusts as therapy continues.
#101: Could Low Testosterone Be Wrecking Your Life?
Q: What is TRT and what does it aim to achieve?
TRT replaces what the body no longer produces to bring testosterone back into the normal physiological range, with the goal of improving symptoms while avoiding overcorrection, and it requires ongoing monitoring of blood levels and patient symptoms.
#099: How Croc Turnbull Became the Face of Viral Australiana
Q: Do you find as you get older that you know this pathway out and can recognize when you're heading back down that road?
It doesn't really get easier; I still go into dark places, but I've learned to recognize that it's not the end.
#099: How Croc Turnbull Became the Face of Viral Australiana
Q: So how does that play with you mentally when you had your fall and were traveling the world?
It really affected me badly because I was used to a high adrenaline lifestyle, and going from that to nothing was challenging.
