    Why Do I Sabotage My Success?

    We’ve all been there - everything’s going well: your fitness is on point, your diet’s locked in, work’s thriving… and then, suddenly, it all unravels. In this episode, Louis and Connor get real about self-sabotage. We dive into why we sometimes sabotage our own progress and what’s really behind those moments when it all falls apart. From personal stories of hitting highs and then spiralling, to practical tips on how to break the cycle, we’re sharing our struggles and strategies for finally getting out of our own way. If you’ve ever felt like your success is just a setup for a fall, this one’s for you.

    From Drought to Dickfest. Is My Sex Life Healthy?

    In this episode, we dive deep into the shame, confusion and chaos that can come with inconsistent sex drives - from long dry spells to sudden spikes in activity. Connor gets real about slut-shaming himself, questioning his motivations for sex, and wondering whether there’s a universal playbook for what’s “normal” in the bedroom. Spoiler: there isn’t. What starts as a casual convo quickly turns into a full-blown therapy session for Connor lol. Expect reflection, vulnerability, a bit of oversharing, and a reminder that your relationship with sex is yours to define. Leave us a comment with your thoughts!

    What Is The Perfect Morning Routine? (Or Do We Even Need One?!)

    In this episode, we’re asking the question that haunts every wellness reel and productivity guru: is there really such a thing as the perfect morning routine? We break down our own routines - one hinged, one unhinged - and talk about whether these routines actually help or just stress us out even more. We also get into the performative nature of influencer mornings (you know the ones) and why they sometimes just make us feel like shit. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not waking up at 5am with a gratitude list and a protein smoothie, this one’s for you. Please give us a follow and ask us a question in the comments to feature on a future episode!

    Daddy Issues!

    In this episode, Connor & Louis dive into their personal experiences with their dads, how those relationships shaped them (for better or worse), and what they've done to work through it. They ask the big question: Can you ever truly free yourself from daddy issues, or are they just part of your DNA now? Plus, they play a round of Pump & Dump: Parenting Edition - for example, throwing cheese on babies to stop them crying... Hit play for deep chats, some questionable wisdom, and a few laughs along the way. 🎧 Listen, follow, comment and let us know - are daddy issues forever?

    Addicted to More: Rock Bottom, Reinvention & The Fight For Fulfilment

    In this episode, we ask each other the questions that matter most. Connor challenges Louis to open up about the role addiction has played in his life, leading to a deep dive into his past gambling addiction. In return, Louis asks Connor if he's truly happy—which forces him to confront his own struggles with ambition, self-worth, and the feeling that he won’t be happy until he's unlocked his full potential. Tune in for laughs, lessons, and the cost of being addicted to more! You can also follow us on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Instagram & TikTok on @connorminney @louisrennocks @lossesandgayns

    Love, Lifting & Lessons: Dating & Fitness Regrets!

    If only we could have listened to this episode a decade ago! We would have gone about our dating and fitness journeys completely differently!
