Episode Description:
At the table, the fellas kicked things off with a rant about treating your brain like a muscle and actually putting it to work. They then got into a tough conversation around trust, paternity, and how to handle unexpected situations in relationships. The crew lightened things up by picking their names if they were women, and wrapped with gym culture talk—debating Orange Theory vs. Pilates studios and what the next workout trends might be.
