Episode Synopsis

⁠⁠https://medium.com/@nickbeefman⁠⁠In this episode, the lads spiral from self-help to self-roast. One reflects on a hotel room victory—stretching, meditating, running, even reading—while the other shares his lifelong war with gym nemeses who don’t wipe down equipment or do proper reps. From CrossFit rants and competitive fragility to philosophical musings on preparation and procrastination, it’s part confessional, part therapy session, part slow-burning existential joke.They try to be better men. They really do. But the road to self-improvement is slippery when you’re fueled by spite, poetic thumb-in-bum epiphanies, and unresolved trauma involving shirtless gym bros. Bonus: a poem about the podcast itself, some armchair CBT, and a derailed argument about the Atami Bath House. This week’s accidental theme? The dumb beauty of trying when you don’t quite believe you can.
