Travelling with kids, getting old, and J's self-imposed misery

from Man vs Mind · host Man Vs Mind

From grounded flights to forest poos, the lads regroup after a chaotic week of travel, jet lag, and existential creaks in the knees.In today's Man vs Mind, Tim checks in from the UK while J’s stuck in Dubai after a last-minute trip gets grounded. What follows is a catch-up of two knackered dads trying (and mostly failing) to switch off – featuring overheated bedrooms, eerie city roads, toddler tantrums, and the very real stress of being nearly 40 but already falling to pieces.J talks about his body’s growing refusal to function after a daring soft play incident, prompting the start of a brand new challenge – getting a PT and seeing what happens when two very average men try to reclaim their physical fitness (and pride). We also introduce a new idea: the Non-Certified Therapy Club – a safe space for you to vent what’s been bugging you, physically or mentally, so we can share the load.Oh, and here's the link to our mention in Esquire this week 😍If you’re enjoying the show PLEASE consider leaving us a 5* rating and a few words to review the show - the algorithm loves it and it’ll help more people find the show ❤️❤️Head to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content!
