    The Dopamine Trap: Parenting in the Screen Age

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. What if the thing you're trying to keep your kid off of is the same thing you can't put down either? Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca  One forgotten bag on the way out the door for a fishing trip turned into the conversation Tommy had been avoiding for weeks, and by the end of it, new screen time rules were on the table. This week Tommy and Tim dig into why that dopamine hit from scrolling hooks kids and adults exactly the same way, and why fighting it feels so much harder than it should. They also get into what it actually means to sacrifice as a parent, the kind that doesn't get talked about enough, why the small wins matter a lot more than people give them credit for, and how a genuinely rough week still somehow ended with one of the best weekends either of them has had all summer. Loud, honest, a little unhinged in places, same as always. This show was never about the numbers, it's about knowing you're not alone.

    Season 3 Kickoff: Our Summer, (un)filtered. | Ep.75

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca After disappearing for a few weeks, we're finally back and there's a reason why. Tim and Tommy are back for Season 3, kicking things off the way they always do, an honest, no-filter check-in. One of them is riding a high he didn't see coming. The other is carrying something heavier than he's ready to put into words yet. Both agree on one thing: if you're feeling it too, you're not the only one. From there, the conversation moves through the kind of summer most people don't post about. Family visits that hit different than expected, the strange mix of relief and guilt that comes with a major life change, and what it actually takes to protect your own headspace when everyone around you needs something. They also crack the door open on what's coming this season. ew guests, a few surprises, and a cause close to both of their hearts they can't wait to tell you more about. This show was never about the numbers. It's for anyone who's ever felt like they were the only one struggling — you're not.

    The Many Roles we Carry as Men | Ep.73

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca Are we different people depending on who we're with, or are we simply different versions of ourselves? In this episode of The Quiet Riot Show, we explore the many roles men take on throughout life (father, husband, partner, friend, provider, and employee) and the pressure that comes with trying to balance them all. We discuss why many men act differently in different environments, how social expectations shape our behavior, and whether being vulnerable is easier said than done. The conversation also touches on mental health, burnout, sleep, work-life balance, and the challenge of finding time for yourself when everyone else needs something from you. Tim reflects on a chapter of his life known as the "Sad Jaguar" era and how difficult experiences can shape the person we become. Later, a listener voicemail sparks a discussion about financial pressure, providing for a family, and why so many men struggle silently with money, purpose, and responsibility. If you've ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the world while trying to be everything for everyone, this episode is for you.

    We Show Up, Even when We Run on Empty | Ep.72

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca Some days you’re exhausted. Burnt out. Running on empty. But life doesn’t stop. Your kids still need you. Your family still needs you. So you show up anyway. This episode starts off completely chaotic, broken equipment, random stories, sleep talks, theta waves, travel rants, and absolute nonsense, but somewhere in the middle of it all, something real comes through. Tim talks about taking a trip with his daughter for a volleyball tournament, the unexpected moments that mattered most, and the realization that sometimes the best memories come from simply being present. Underneath all the joking around is a conversation a lot of men quietly understand: even when we’re tired, overwhelmed, stressed, sick, or mentally checked out… we keep going because the people we love matter more. Not because we’re superheroes. Not because we always have it together. But because that’s what dads, partners, and good men do. This one’s messy, funny, honest, and probably more relatable than we intended.

    Raising 4 Boys Without Losing Yourself: Sacrifice, Stress, and Showing Up | Ep.71

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. 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.

    The Hidden Knots in Your Mind and How Hypnotherapy Unties Them | Ep.69

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. 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.
