It’s June, which means Pride Month is in full swing—and so is our annual confusion over why men refuse to go to the doctor.

In this episode, we’re diving into:
🌈 Pride Month—the parades, the chaos, and why it actually matters.
💪 Machismo & Men’s Health—aka, why some men think showing vulnerability is illegal and how this is lowkey (read: highkey) entrenched in homophobia.
💖 What true strength looks like—hint: it includes therapy and taking care of your mental health.

We love men, we just want them to live past 50.
