    04/20 Lockdown (feat. Luke Evans)

    04/20 Lockdown (feat. Luke Evans)

    Remember the beginning of COVID where you were furiously scrubbing away at your groceries and Lysol was more expensive than gold? We do. In what is very much a time capsule episode (this was recorded at the beginning of the first worldwide lockdown in April 2020), Dave, Phivos and Benet are joined by friend of the show, actor, singer and dragon-slayer Luke Evans. They chat about coping tools, meditation, success, pressure and (inevitably) how unprepared everyone felt for a lockdown.

    "Life After Death" Pt.1

    Recorded in late 2020, this episode is dedicated to Sheila Hennessey, Elaine Rae, Savannah Briand and to all those we lost in the last year.

    The team are back, this time trying to openly tackle the heavy topic of death. They touch on grief, guilt, fear, and what it all means to those left behind, while Benet is on-hand to offer some therapeutic advice on how to cope and why he uses the word "snuff".

    "Taking My Time to Perfect the Beat" - Perfectionism

    "Taking My Time to Perfect the Beat" - Perfectionism

    Are you "stealing joy from the present" with your perfectionistic tendencies? Today the lads discuss 'Perfectionism' and how it can be both good and bad, how to be aware of it, and why it took so long to start this podcast in the first place. In the spirit of this episode, we only performed one pass on this edit despite Phivos wanting to do more.

    PS. This description took us way too long to write.
    PPS. If you need a good vacuum recommendation, we got you.

    You Think You're Sick Bruv! - Hypochondriasis (feat. Nataly Aukar)

    You ever gone down the Google rabbit-hole and self diagnosed when you've felt a little sick? Has your innocuous knee pain led you to spiraling about a random disease? Dave, Phivos and therapist Ben are joined by Lebanese born comedian Nataly Aukar and discuss how she manages her hypochondriasis (yeah - we didn't know that was a word either).

    Bring Da Ruckus - Anger Pt.1

    Bring Da Ruckus - Anger Pt.1

    What’s the angriest you’ve ever been? Have you ever fully lost control? Dave & Phivos try to answer these questions, as they take a deep dive with Ben into the emotion with a bad reputation. What happens when anger crosses over into rage, why you should never be late to a movie if Dave is at the theater, and how Phivos ended up on the side of the road with a broken steering wheel in his hands.

Such a funny and relaxing podcast. I love the calmness and humor. Totally relatable. A few friends having meaningful conversations about mental health is just nice. Make more eps!

Listen, Laugh, and just Feel Good all day!!

The everyday conversations that let me know I’m not alone. ‘Life’ happens; therapy helps with that journey. There’s effortless chemistry between Dave, Phivos, and Ben. Love the wit! Love the honesty! Love the podcast! I can’t recommend this highly enough! If you’re a new listener, dive right in and enjoy.
