It's the last episode of Season 1, but we'll be back! This month we talk about Joy - what makes us joyful as men and as humans. Degan shares a sneak peek of a memoir he is working on, and Chris shares what he considers to be his best Dad joke yet!

What brings you joy? We often hear so much about men and toxic masculinity, but tell us about the joy of being a man or knowing a man!

You can buy Degan's book of poetry at Brick Books.

Hosts Chris Garbutt and Degan Davis discuss the tropes of action movies where male heroes transform shame into heroism, referencing classics like 'Rambo.' They relate this to real-life bullying and chronic shame, drawing distinctions between guilt and shame. The episode touches on the impact of bullying, the importance of friendships, and how male dynamics can either contribute to or heal shame. The hosts also explore broader societal influences and the importance of supportive male relationships. They end by hinting at an upcoming discussion on joy in masculinity for their next episode.
