Breaking Through Expected Roles to Protect Each Other
from crushing doubt
In the third episode of Brothers in Arms, Edgar, Eric, and Dr. Dan continue to discuss how we all can do a better job talking to each other — as men, and otherwise — but the show is also rounding into forms with new segments defining parts of the exploration. After a brief catch up with everyone, the guys finally make sure to let Dr. Dan introduce what he does, since some of the feedback from viewers focused on wondering this very thing. After the check in, we move on to Old News (Maybe From Yesterday) and discuss Cosby being let out of jail after his conviction was overturned on a technicality. The guys discuss how hard certain topics are to even begin to explore, what this would be like for the apparent victims of the abuse, and how Cosby could possibly move forward in any way with comedy. Next up, in Breaking the Mold, all three men deal with the aspects of typical manhood in which they do not fit well and the show focuses on how this does not change who they are as men in any way. Both serious and hilarious observations are made here. Lastly, on Walking the Walk, Eric finally takes his turn, telling Edgar, Dr. Dan, and the audience of a time in his life — following the death of his father — when he came to the end of his ability to cope with things and knew he had to get help. We talked about the strength of this decision, as well as in sharing it with our audience.
