    Trying to get back to Recording Consistently Episode 11

    The boys talk gym injuries, caffeine, nicotine, a seven-week mystery illness, Australian housing and the cost of living, government spending, debt, unemployment, interest rates and why the economy feels increasingly impossible to understand. Then, naturally, we move on to sleeping in freezing rooms, brown fat, weight loss, 450-calorie iced coffees and the mathematics of eating a 5,000-calorie food challenge. It's been a while. We've got a lot to catch up on.

    We're Back - Episode 10

    After a bit of an unplanned break, we're finally back recording, trying to remember how any of this works. This episode is a proper catch up. We talk about what's been keeping us busy, habit stacking, fitness, budgeting, rising costs, side hustles, AI taking over the world, and why it somehow feels impossible to get ahead these days. We also dive into sunscreen, government fees, dodgy parking economics, ChatGPT estimating body fat percentages, and some of the weirdest things people are willing to pay money for online. Massive shout out to everyone who's been listening while we've been away. We appreciate every comment, message, and person who throws an episode on during a drive, at work, or out on site. As always, the conversation goes completely off the rails at times, but that's half the fun. If you enjoy the episode, share it with a mate.

    Teachers, Tough Love & The AI Takeover - Episode 9

    This one gets real. We sit down with Nathan, a young primary school teacher, and dive into what’s actually going on with kids today. From behaviour shifts and father figures to the fine line between tough love and being too soft, nothing’s off limits. We get into how schools are changing, why some kids are struggling more than ever, and the role teachers really play beyond the classroom. Then we flip into AI, how it’s already impacting education, whether it’s helping or hurting, and what the future might look like for both teachers and students. Plenty of laughs, a few controversial takes, and some honest perspective from the front lines.

    No Fancy Plans, Just Real Conversations - Episode 6

    In this episode of Calm Down Hogan, we check in on our journey so far and experiment with filming offsite as a way to grow, stretch, and reach a little further. The conversation bounces naturally from budgeting to working out to discussing how allegations can look from the outside in.This is one of those laid back, nothing fancy episodes where the goal isn’t perfection, but honesty. Just real conversation, real perspective, and space to breathe, reflect, and stay grounded.

    The Episode We Weren’t Supposed To Make - Ep 5

    Calm Down Hogan goes into one of Hogan’s darkest chapters In this episode of Calm Down Hogan, we sit down for one of the toughest and most honest conversations We’ve had on the show. Hogan opens up about a relationship that fell apart after an abortion, and the fear, confusion and pain that came with it. This isn’t about choosing sides or trying to tell anyone what to think. It’s about talking through the things most people avoid. It’s about the mental load men carry in silence, the guilt that sits with you, and what it means when a moment like this breaks more than just a relationship. We check in with the mental health chart throughout the episode to stay grounded and keep track of where the emotions sit, because sometimes understanding your state is the only way to start working through it. It’s uncomfortable, it’s heavy, and honestly, it’s the episode we were told not to make. But it’s real, and that’s why we made it. #calmdownhogan #coastaldads #realconversations#authentictalk #mentalhealthmatters #mensmentalhealth #healingjourney#emotionalhealth #realtalkpodcast #vulnerability #truthandhealing#selfawareness #growthmindset #relationships
