This one hits deep.

In honour of Men’s Mental Health Month, Jay and Dan drop the bravado and open up about the real stuff—loneliness, loss, grief, work pressure, dark thoughts, and the stigma that keeps too many men silent. It’s raw, reflective, and full of uncomfortable truths, practical strategies, and genuinely useful insights.

You’ll laugh. You’ll feel. And you might walk away feeling a little less alone.

WHAT’S INSIDE:

* Why Dan leaves liquorice allsorts on a pier for Father’s Day—and what it means to process grief as a man

* The rise of toxic “alpha” culture and how it warps the conversation on masculinity

* Jay’s 22-minute ice bath interview on mental health (and why he actually said yes)

* Why so many men don’t speak up—and the four top reasons they stay silent

* The danger of being “the strong one” who never asks for help

* The scabs vs scars dilemma: why you should talk before you’re ready

* Jay’s AI therapist recommendation and how it’s helping him work through stuck thoughts in the car

* Work, money, and health: the 3 biggest causes of male mental struggle—and what to do about them

* Loneliness: the invisible killer and how to find brotherhood again

QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:

“Health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the sick can see.”

WHY THIS MATTERS:

* 76% of all suicides in the UK are men

* Men are 3x more likely to die by suicide than women

* Most men still feel too embarrassed, too ashamed, or too much like a burden to open up

This episode is a gentle but firm nudge: open up. You’re not weak. You’re human.

This week, Jay and Dan dive into the world of money without the usual fluff.

No crypto hype. No stock tips. Just a real, honest conversation about how they think about investing in themselves, spending with purpose, and the simple (and sometimes stupid) things they’ve bought that actually made them better humans.

From £10k gym kit to Revolut “fun money” cards, this one’s packed with insights, laughs, and a few questionable one-liners (obviously).

Whether you’re skint, smashing it, or somewhere in between, you’ll take something away from this.

In this no-filter, no-script episode, Jay and Dan go full freestyle from AI and authenticity to dodgy balloon shops, Domino’s Klarna payments, and cracking one off to the Burlington catalogue (yep, that happened).

Dan battles through a chest infection like a true beast, while Jay drops birthday wisdom for his son, and for you.

Expect wisdom, weirdness, and a very real reminder...

Life’s too short to live on autopilot!
