Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca What does it actually take to raise four boys into good men without burning out, losing your relationship, or losing yourself in the process?In this episode of The Quiet Riot Show, we sit down with Jeff Christie, a hardworking father who spent years balancing shift work, sleepless nights, and the nonstop demands of raising four sons through every stage of life. From toddlers to adulthood, Jeff shares what it really looked like trying to be present, provide, and stay steady when life never slowed down.He opens up about the reality of missing sleep, sacrificing time, and still showing up every day, and how him and his wife built a strong partnership behind the scenes to keep everything running. We also dive into what fatherhood looks like now that those boys are grown men with their own identities, choices, and lives.On top of that, we talk honestly about relationships, what happens to a marriage when kids take over everything, and what it takes to reconnect and keep the spark alive through the chaos of parenting and responsibility.This is a conversation about identity, pressure, partnership, and what it really means to grow as a man while building a family.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaOK John Metal DetectorsWebsite - www.okjohnmetaldetectors.comFacebook - @okjohnmetaldetectorsInstagram - @okjohnmetaldetectorsCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Precision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackBaked Turkey Vape ShopTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca What if the biggest thing holding you back… isn’t your habits—but your subconscious?In this episode of The Quiet Riot Show, we sit down with hypnotherapist Darcy Kernaghan to explore a side of mental health most men don’t fully understand—but probably should.We break down what hypnotherapy actually is (and what it isn’t), how it works beneath the surface, and why so many men stay stuck in patterns they can’t explain.Tommy shares his real experience working with Darcy—opening up about what the process felt like, the mental shifts he’s starting to notice, and how it’s already impacting the way he thinks and responds to everyday situations.As the conversation unfolds, Tim reflects on something he’s been told before—that hypnotherapy could actually benefit him—and we get into why so many men hesitate to explore tools like this, even when they might help.This wasn’t forced. It wasn’t scripted.Just a real conversation about understanding your mind on a deeper level—and what can happen when you finally start working with it instead of against it.We only scratched the surface in this one… and there’s definitely more to come.If you're interested in Darcy's services visit his website and book your sessionWebsite - www.divineclarity.comInstagram - @divineclarityFacebook - @divineclarityYoutube - @divineclairtymbSHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaOK John Metal DetectorsWebsite - www.okjohnmetaldetectors.comFacebook - @okjohnmetaldetectorsInstagram - @okjohnmetaldetectorsCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Precision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackBaked Turkey Vape ShopTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

We start off with a quick catch-up on Tim’s trip, how things went with his family, and a laid-back Saturday night watching an F1 race at 2AM Winnipeg time.But the conversation slowly shifts into something deeper.We dive into a question that stuck with us:When do we make the biggest impact in a man’s life?Tommy shares thoughts from a recent survey focused on health strategies for men and boys, and it opens up a bigger discussion about how young men are being shaped today. From the way competition is handled in schools to the idea that “everyone wins,” we explore whether this mindset is actually helping—or hurting—young men in the long run.Are we preparing them for real life… or shielding them from it?Like most real conversations between friends, things drift a bit. We touch on everyday topics, share opinions, and go off on a few tangents—but that’s part of what makes it real.At its core, this episode is just two friends talking—about life, about men, and about things we don’t always have the answers to.And sometimes, that’s exactly what’s needed.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye TattooBaked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Together, they explore what growing up feels like today, the pressures young boys can face, and the importance of creating space for them to be heard early in life.Blending meaningful moments with a lighthearted round of This or That, this episode is a reminder that conversations around men’s mental health don’t start in adulthood — they start long before most of us realize.For dads, parents, and anyone who believes emotionally strong men are shaped by the voices we choose to listen to when they’re young.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye TattooBaked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

And that reality shaped this conversation.We check in as two men entering 2026 under pressure.Tommy shares a mindset shift that’s quietly changing how he shows up — choosing positivity even when it feels forced, and how time with family in Mexico helped reframe his outlook.Tim opens up about holding the line through stress and responsibility. As a long-time smoker, quitting hasn’t been about willpower alone — it’s been about facing life without his usual escape while supporting his wife through recovery at home.This isn’t motivation talk or “new year, new you.”It’s an honest look at what growth actually looks like when life keeps testing you — and why showing up, even imperfectly, still matters.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye TattooBaked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca The holidays are supposed to be joyful — but for a lot of men, they quietly add pressure, exhaustion, and stress we don’t always talk about.In this short, honest check-in episode, we hit record before Christmas to talk about where we’re actually at, not where we’re expected to be.Recorded over Zoom, this conversation happened because life got in the way. Tommy is run down and fighting off sickness right before a family vacation. Tim keeps his distance to avoid spreading germs while his wife prepares for surgery. Both of us are feeling the weight of the year — mentally, physically, and emotionally.We talk about: Why even a quick check-in can matter more than a long conversation? How men often push through sickness, stress, and burnout without saying much? We discuss the difference between getting a break… and actually feeling rested. Why slowing down can feel uncomfortable, especially for men?This isn’t a polished holiday episode. It’s a real moment of honesty, the kind of conversation many men have in their heads, but rarely out loud.If you’re heading into the holidays feeling tired, overwhelmed, or just “off,” this episode is for you.You’re not behind.

Email us at [email protected]. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca What’s really going on in the minds of young men right now? We met today’s guest, licensed therapist Nick Jones, at our very first Quiet Riot meetup. What caught our attention wasn’t just his profession. It was how honestly he spoke about the silent battles men carry around every day. So we brought him onto the show to dig into a question we’ve been asking ourselves for a long time.Nick works with the people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, unheard, or lost. But instead of the usual “therapist perspective,” Nick opens up a bit about his own day-to-day life, the emotional toll, and the struggles that even professionals don’t always talk about.This episode gets messy in the best way.Partially because Tim and Tommy are both trying to quit smoking/vaping, and you can feel the tension, irritability, and raw emotion in the room. No filters. No pretending. Just three guys being honest about what it feels like when your coping habits are gone and your emotions get loud.From there, the conversation takes a turn into one of the biggest issues we’re seeing in young men today:the collapse of healthy masculinity—and the rise of porn addiction as a major factor.Nick breaks down why porn is reshaping men’s confidence, sex drive, emotional development, and relationships… and why it’s affecting this generation more than any before it. We didn’t expect this topic to hit as hard as it did, but it’s clear:this is a conversation we’ll have to keep coming back to.If you’ve ever wondered why so many men are struggling right now, or you’ve felt it yourself, this might be the episode that finally puts the pieces together.NICK JONESWebsiteSHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye Tattoo Baked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Instead of letting grief crush him, Trav found a way to transform it into fuel — but the process wasn’t clean, easy, or inspirational-post perfect.We dive into the uncomfortable questions most men avoid:What do you do when life forces you to slow down? How do you turn negativity into something that doesn’t destroy you? And what if the things we chase — money, status, success — aren’t actually the things that make us feel alive?Trav opens up about how his mom, even while sick, pushed him to grab life with both hands and stop treating happiness like something that comes later. Her influence forced him to rethink everything — what matters, what doesn’t, and why living in the present might be the only real way to beat depression and anxiety.We talk about gratitude in the simplest forms — like celebrating every green light you hit — and how showing up for your life today pays more than all the future “interest” we think we need to build. This conversation is real, raw, and full of the kind of honesty men rarely give themselves permission to speak out loud.If you’ve ever felt stuck, heavy, or unsure how to move forward after loss… this episode might give you the perspective you didn’t know you needed.TRAV ANEMAFacebookInstagramSHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye Tattoo Baked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

He decided to give it a shot himself—and the results were undeniable. His blood sugar and blood pressure improved, his energy shifted, and he discovered just how much our physical habits can impact our mental health.Together, we dig into what four weeks without carbs really felt like—the cravings, the clarity, and the mental battles in between. We talk about the connection between food, focus, and emotional resilience, and why small physical changes can sometimes unlock the biggest mental breakthroughs.If you’ve ever felt stuck, tired, or disconnected from yourself, this conversation might give you the nudge to take that first step toward something better.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye Tattoo Baked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Chris, a close friend who once helped Tommy find the courage to reach out for help, shares how therapy and group sessions changed his life — and how it can change yours too.The conversation drifts between laughs, reflection, and real vulnerability. From the chaos of raising kids in today’s world to the quiet moments that remind us why we keep pushing forward — we explore how men connect with their children, what it really means to “show up,” and how our past shapes the fathers we become.You’ll hear stories about balancing mental health, cultural expectations, and the unspoken pressures men face daily. The guys also dive into why friendships between men are crucial — even if it’s just sending that “Hey man, how’ve you been?” text to someone you haven’t talked to in ages.It’s a raw, relatable conversation about being a man, a father, and a friend — and the importance of not going through it alone.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye Tattoo Baked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

With his parents finally moving out, Tommy finds himself adjusting back to “normal” life… but what even is normal anymore? After months of shared chaos, comfort, and emotional growth, the silence feels strange. So instead of settling, Tommy decides to shake things up again — because comfort can sometimes be the enemy of progress.That’s when a loyal listener throws a curveball: a challenge to redo the same metabolic reset that once changed the hosts’ lives. The idea sparks curiosity, competition, and a deep dive into discipline, lifestyle change, and mental clarity. Tim opens up about his previous transformation — the weight loss, mindset shifts, and how he’s learned to redefine his version of health. Tommy, always up for a challenge, commits to pushing himself further this time, tracking not only physical results but mental resilience too.What happens when men stop running from discomfort and instead lean into it — together?

From the indescribable pain of treatment to the guilt of missing out on precious moments, Steve opens up about the mental, physical, and emotional toll that cancer took on him—and how he found strength to keep going.This isn’t just a story about illness—it’s about resilience, fatherhood, and the hidden battles men face when they feel they must stay strong for everyone else. Steve’s story shines a light on men’s mental health, the importance of speaking up, and the quiet courage it takes to fight both inner demons and life-threatening challenges.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye Tattoo Baked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Subscribe to Email - https://quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - https://www.quietriotshow.ca Why do men’s feelings often get ignored when it comes to relationships and betrayal? A recent scandal sparked headlines about a cheating CEO, but the conversation only centered on the woman left behind—not the man whose wife cheated. Why is the husband invisible in this story? Are men expected to bottle up emotions until they overflow? And what does that silence cost—both to ourselves and to the people we love?We don’t claim to have the final answer, but we’re breaking the silence one episode at a time. Listen in, reflect, and decide where you stand.Also, in this episode, Tommy opens up about the challenges of temporarily living under the same roof as his parents. He shares what it’s like navigating culture, beliefs, and the need to respect family expectations while still craving independence. Tim, meanwhile, reflects on his career wins and the personal curveballs life keeps throwing at him, and how he’s choosing to face them head-on.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaPREMIUM SUPPORTERSStoke Screen PrintingPrecision WoodpeckersPremier PrintingCOMMUNITY SUPPORTERS:Intergalactic SaucesSpeedworld Indoor GoKart TrackPregame Sports Bar & LoungeOdin's Eye Tattoo Baked Turkey Vape ShopCoridon Cycle & SportsTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

What happens when a group of men finally comes together in person to talk, connect, and just be real with each other? Our very first men’s mental health meetup was a step into the unknown. Would it feel like a formal AA or NA meeting… or simply a space where walls came down and conversations flowed naturally? The answer surprised us — and it just might surprise you too.In this episode, we share the powerful takeaways from that night, why it mattered, and what it revealed about how men really want to connect. We also dive into the road trip we took to see one of Tommy and Tim’s all-time favorite bands, Ghost — and how even that experience threw us some unexpected curveballs.This conversation is about more than music or meetups — it’s about the courage to show up, to step out of silence, and to see what happens when men create space for each other.Thank you for sticking with us through our summer reset.

Whether we’re living out someone else’s expectations or defining our own path. What happens when a man no longer feels useful? Or when he achieves everything society tells him to, but still feels empty? If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about identity, masculinity, or your role in this world, this one's for you.But before we got into the real conversation of this episode, we opened up about the decision to take a short summer break.

Email us at [email protected]. This week, it’s just the crew—no guests, no filters, just a raw conversation about what’s really been going on. Life has been hectic, which is why we’re dropping this episode a bit later than usual. But in the middle of the chaos, we took a moment to check in with each other—because that matters.One of the hardest things we’re dealing with right now? Quitting smoking and vaping. If you've ever tried to kick a nicotine habit, you already know—it’s brutal. We talk openly about the cravings, the triggers, and why it’s so damn tough to let go of something that once helped us cope.But we also dive into something deeper: What do men really want? We put ourselves on the spot with a little impromptu trivia—trying to name the top three core emotional needs that define a man’s sense of purpose, identity, and happiness. Women are often told they deserve to feel safe, loved, and prioritized. But what about men? What do we need—and why does no one talk about it?If you're a man trying to better understand yourself—or someone who loves a man and wants to support him—this one’s worth the listen.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaStoke Screen PrintingWebsite - www.winnipegscreenprinting.comInstagram - @stokescreenprintingTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

Email us at [email protected]. What happens when a man is physically or mentally abused and the system has no answers?We talk about the crushing reality of seeking help only to be dismissed or redirected. Call a mental health resource? They say call 911. Call 911? They say it’s not an emergency. This isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous. And in moments where men are already barely hanging on, the system seems to say, “Deal with it.”This is what started a powerful conversation after we listened to a voicemail from a listener—one that cracked open a deeply overlooked issue.So what do we do when the very places designed to support us leave us stranded? Maybe it's time to build something better. A space where men can actually be heard, believed, and supported. We close the episode with that thought—and maybe, the start of a movement.In Check-In, Tommy also shares a moment of clarity as he begins to piece together the next steps in his life, while Tim opens up about the pressure that's been closing in, forcing him to keep pushing forward in silence.SHOW SPONSORS:SuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaRainy Day ForgeWebsite - www.rainydayforge.caInstagram - @rainydayforgeYouTube - @rainydayforgeIntergalactic SaucesWebsite - intergalacticsauces.comInstagram - @intergalacticsaucesStoke Screen PrintingWebsite - www.winnipegscreenprinting.comInstagram - @stokescreenprintingTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show

But a “failed” suicide attempt became the turning point that launched a journey of healing, purpose, and advocacy.Jason opens up about how he went from being broken and self-destructive to becoming a voice for those suffering in silence. He shares the role storytelling played in his survival and how sharing his truth has helped others around the world.We dive into his first book, One Drop of Water — a raw look at his darkest moments and the spark that reignited his will to live. His second book, The Monarch Butterfly Effect, emerged from grief and a near-fatal motorcycle crash, both of which could’ve pulled him back into darkness, but instead strengthened his purpose and resilience.Jason also shares the daily practices that keep him grounded — from mindfulness and neuroscience to spiritual reflection and nature therapy. He reminds us that most people will go the distance to save others but won’t do the same for themselves. Real healing begins when we become our own best friend.Nature has become a sacred space in Jason’s healing — waterfalls, frogs, forests, stillness. These moments of connection now serve as medicine that no prescription could replicate.And in true Jason fashion, he leaves us with a challenge. A real one, with a deadline. Because transformation isn’t just a concept — it requires action.JASON TYLER MCLEANWebsite - www.jasontylermclean.comInstagram - @jasontylermcleanBOOKSThe Monarch Butterfly Effect: Mental Health MetamorphosisOne Drop of WaterSHOW SPONSORS:Rainy Day ForgeWebsite - www.rainydayforge.caInstagram - @rainydayforgeYouTube - @rainydayforgeIntergalactic SaucesWebsite - intergalacticsauces.comInstagram - @intergalacticsaucesStoke Screen PrintingWebsite - www.winnipegscreenprinting.comInstagram - @stokescreenprintingSuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaTHE QUIET RIOT SHOWWebsite - www.quietriotshow.caInstagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - Support the show

What started as a simple check-in spiraled into a much deeper conversation about emotional growth, managing chaos, and how we're learning to be more open—especially as men navigating mental health. We reflect on how being more emotionally aware has transformed our relationships, reduced tension, and helped us communicate better with the people who matter most.But here's the thing: we’re all busy. Like overwhelmingly busy. So we ask: how do you manage everything—work, chores, relationships—and still find time for yourself? We dive into the personal expectations we place on ourselves and how those can either push us forward or quietly drag us down.The second half of the episode unpacks the core of this show—building honest friendships, creating a space where venting is okay, and not bottling things up until it breaks you (or someone else). We share how these real convos off the mic are exactly what we bring on the mic—messy, heartfelt, and full of perspective.We’re not here to sell you anything.

Why are so many men still hesitant to seek help—even when it’s available?What if the medication you’re taking isn’t a cure, but a pause button?And how is the world changing for young men in ways we don’t fully understand?In this episode, we reunite with Patrick and Cam from Tampa Bay’s Men’s Health Unscripted podcast—pharmacists who blend real talk with medical insight.

Together, we peel back layers of stigma, culture, and confusion around men’s health.We unpack the unseen side of antidepressants—how they can help, where they fall short, and why they shouldn’t be seen as the final solution. We also question the hype around weight loss medications: are they a quick fix or a deeper trap?The guys also open up about revamping their podcast—why they stepped back, what’s changed, and what men really want to hear. This leads to an honest conversation about why men’s mental health podcasts still struggle to go viral, even as the need grows louder.We wrap with a powerful discussion on what’s changed for young men today compared to when we were coming of age.

Dave Jacobson did—but it came at an unimaginable cost.Like many Canadian kids, Dave grew up with dreams of playing professional hockey. He made it further than most, getting drafted and stepping into the world of pro hockey. But sometimes, the dream you chase isn’t the one meant for you. Realizing the sport wasn’t his true calling, Dave shifted gears and found a new path as an electrician.Then, in a single moment, everything changed. A severe workplace accident—an electric shock that sent him plummeting from a ladder—left him with a traumatic brain injury. Dave spent 10 days in a coma, his brain swelling so dangerously that doctors had to remove part of his skull just to relieve the pressure. When he woke up, he couldn’t walk, talk, or do anything on his own. It was as if he had been reborn, forced to relearn life itself.In this episode, Dave shares the mental and physical battles that followed his accident. Drawing strength from his faith, his family, and the relentless discipline he developed in hockey, he refused to accept defeat. In just three months—a miraculous recovery by medical standards—he was out of the hospital, regaining independence. But the journey wasn’t over. Twelve years later, he still faces daily challenges, from ongoing physical therapy to speech rehabilitation, as he continues to rebuild his life.Despite the lasting effects of his injury, Dave remains committed to staying positive, trying new things, and being the best father and husband he can be. His story is one of resilience, mental toughness, and a testament to the power of never giving up—even when life knocks you down harder than you could ever imagine.SHOW SPONSORS:Rainy Day ForgeWebsite - www.rainydayforge.caInstagram - @rainydayforgeFacebook - @rainydayforgeYouTube - @rainydayforgeIntergalactic SaucesWebsite - intergalacticsauces.comInstagram - @intergalacticsaucesStoke Screen PrintingWebsite - www.winnipegscreenprinting.comInstagram - @stokescreenprintingSuverMediaWebsite - www.suvermedia.comInstagram - @suvermediaTHE QUIET RIOT SHOW:Instagram - @quietriotshowYoutube - The Quiet Riot ShowEmail - [email protected] - @timdoerksenTommyInstagram - @tommy_show1.0Support the show
