    Why Young Men Struggle Today - A Conversation About Porn, Pressure & Masculinity | Ep.62

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. 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.

    Learning How to Live in the Moment, Between What Was and What Could Be | Ep. 61

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca What happens when the worst moment of your life becomes the moment that changes everything? In this episode of The Quiet Riot Show, we sit down with Winnipeg photographer and videographer Trav Anema, whose world shifted after losing his mom. 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.

    Can Changing Your Diet Fix your Body and Mind? | Ep.60

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca What happens when one of your listeners decides to try the metabolic reset (strict Keto diet) and challenges others to join him for the ride? In this episode, we sit down with Jeremie St.Hilaire, a Quiet Riot listener who reached out after hearing about our experience with the metabolic reset. 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.

    Fathers, Friends, and Finding Ourselves — Real Talk on Being There for the Ones We Love | Ep.59

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - www.quietriotshow.ca What happens when three dads sit down with no script, no agenda — just honesty? In this episode of The Quiet Riot Show, Tommy, Tim, and guest Chris Santos dive into the unfiltered side of fatherhood and men’s mental health. 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.

    Resetting the Mind and Body- When “Normal” Isn’t Enough | Ep.58

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - https://quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - https://www.quietriotshow.ca The guys take a breather — no guests, just raw conversation between Tommy and Tim. 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? This episode explores that question in real time.

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - https://quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - https://www.quietriotshow.ca What happens when a young father’s world is turned upside down by a misdiagnosed lump that turns out to be testicular cancer?  In this episode, we sit down with Steve McDonnell—a gifted tattoo artist and devoted dad—who takes us inside his raw and emotional journey of fighting for his life while trying to show up for his newborn daughter and blended family. Steve shares how joy and fear collided when the excitement of expecting a child was overshadowed by devastating news, multiple surgeries, and brutal rounds of chemotherapy. 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.

    When Men's Feelings Go Unnoticed | Ep.56

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. 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.

    From Silence to Connection: Our First Men’s Mental Health Meetup | Ep.55

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - https://quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - https://www.quietriotshow.ca We promised you an August episode during our summer break — and here it is. 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. Your support means more than you know, and we’re only just getting started.
