Good variety
A wide breadth of serious topics, and a lot of laughs
Too much laughing is distracting ! And the jokes are not even funny !
I wish they didn’t laugh too much, it is really annoying specially when the jokes are really not funny at all ! Talking too fast on such serious matter !
MMH is fantastic!
Justin and Eddie bring humor and honesty to topics that are tough to talk about but so important. These two are help changing the stigmas and stereotypes about mental health and well-being by showing that you can be vulnerable and still strong, that you can be wrong and right, and that it’s okay to not always be OK. Well done gentlemen. Let’s usher in a new world of empathy and compassion where we are all allowed to feel without fear of judgment.
