S2 Ep14 Why Men Suck (But Also Need Hugs)

from Vertically Unstable · host Vertically Unstable

This week on Vertically Unstable, we welcome our first ever male guest, Casey Hurbis… and immediately ask him why men are emotionally unavailable, why dads turn everything into a competition, and how he’s somehow been hit by FOUR separate cars.Naturally, we also spiral into parenting guilt, work-life balance being a complete scam, sports-parent trauma, executive burnout, emotional suppression, AI taking over humanity, and why every family has at least one child actively lowering the collective GPA.Casey opens up about raising teenagers while leading massive brands like Rocket Mortgage and BetMGM, Kelly questions whether ambitious parents accidentally turn childhood into performance reviews, and Christy debates whether getting lightly hit by a car for a week of uninterrupted sleep is actually… worth considering.This episode is funny, painfully relatable, mildly therapeutic, and proof that nobody knows what they’re doing. Some people just have better branding.
