Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Menopause Guide Men Didn’t Know They Needed
Q: When should men start looking out for symptoms and what should they watch for?
By recognizing that perimenopause can begin in midlife, men should watch for a range of physical and cognitive changes, start conversations early, and use practical frameworks like the relationship MOT to stay informed and supportive.
The Menopause Guide Men Didn’t Know They Needed
Q: How should men respond to a partner going through perimenopause or menopause?
Men should approach with belief and empathy, avoid dismissive humor, and use concrete tools like symptom diaries and proactive communication to understand and support rather than fix the problem.
The Menopause Guide Men Didn’t Know They Needed
Q: What was it about the existing menopause material that made you think there was a better fit for men?
Menopause materials often focus on the woman's experience; the guest explains there is a huge opportunity to provide practical, actionable guidance for men to support their partners, improve communication, and reduce relationship strain.
Why Looking Ripped Stopped Mattering to Colman Domingo
Q: Are you cognizant of the fact that you're a role model yourself now?
He acknowledges the responsibility and explains that he strives to show up fully, share ideas openly, and be mindful of the influence he has on others.
How Richard Gadd Gained 40kg For Half Man
Q: What was the process like for achieving the 30-40 kilo gain for Ruben, and how did it affect your view on masculinity?
He describes the rigorous training, nutrition, and dehydration strategies, and notes that while the physical change was extreme, his perception of masculinity remained a constant internal inquiry about self-worth and human vulnerability.
