About this listen
In this special “hosts interview each other” episode, Pete and Bryan drop the guest format and get real with each other. Pete opens up about how the podcast started as a resource for other dads, but quickly became a personal lifeline, a safe place to learn, process, and finally say the things he was holding in. Together they talk about isolation, the pressure to keep the “representative” version of yourself on display, and how fast life can spiral when you feel unseen, unheard, and alone.
They unpack emotional regulation, people pleasing, and the way many men were taught that anger is acceptable but sadness is weakness. They also explore what it looks like to raise sons who can feel, cry, and still grow into resilient men. From the power of a single phone call to the importance of community, coaches, and father figures, this episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself is part of taking care of your family.
