We’re BACK! Baby joy, regional conflict, grief, and very pink sneakers | Man vs The Last 3 Months

from Man vs Mind · host Man Vs Mind

And boom, brand-new Man vs Mind drop out of nowhere, like we've never been away.After three months away (and approximately 47 WhatsApp voice notes saying “we really need to record”), we’re finally back in the same room together.This episode is one big catch-up on everything that’s happened while we’ve been gone – the beautiful, the painful, the surreal, and the very, very stupid.J shares the joy of expecting a baby boy, alongside the heartbreak of losing his father-in-law. We talk honestly about grief, becoming parents for the second time, and how strange it feels watching your children slowly become their own little people.We also unpack what it’s been like living through months of regional tension and uncertainty here in the Middle East – the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the emotional weirdness of experiencing “real-time trauma” while still trying to carry on with everyday life.Somewhere in amongst all that: Tim rebuilt a kitchen, forgot to film half the episode, had an existential crisis during bedtime cuddles, and bought a pair of aggressively pink Adidas trainers with tiny platform soles.It’s emotional, chaotic, very excitable, occasionally profound, and — fair warning — unusually sweary even by our standards.We missed you.(Back as usual on Monday morning!)
