  • Cringe Culture Is Killing Your Love Life | Ep. 18

    Cringe Culture Is Killing Your Love Life | Ep. 18
    May 20 2025
    In this episode, Ted and Patrick talk about how the fear of being “cringe” is keeping you from real connection—and why embracing romance might be the most powerful choice you make. Romance isn’t weakness. It’s intention. It’s action. It’s courage. And it has nothing to do with clichés—unless those clichés matter to you. This is about showing up fully. Because the moment you stop performing and start caring, everything changes.

    Fix Your Skin for $20! | Ep. 17
    May 15 2025
    In this episode, Ted and Patrick explore how cultural ideas about masculinity prevent many men from taking care of their skin, causing them to avoid basic skincare—often at the expense of their own comfort. They explain why this mindset needs to change, how to identify your skin type, and how to create a simple, affordable skincare routine for under $20. No fluff, no complicated 10-step processes—just clear skin and common sense. Enjoy!
