    Episode 6 : Birth Order and Daddy Issues

    In this episode, we talk about how birth order and a man’s relationship with his father quietly scripts his life. Aside jokes about “first son must suffer,” this conversation goes into the real weight of being the first boy: expectations to be strong, provide, “take care of your mother,” and mirror or outperform your father. We talk about how being first‑born, middle child, or last born, and whether your father was present, distant, harsh, soft, or absent, shapes your choices in career, love, anger, and how you show up as a man.Join the Overthinkers Anonymous community.

    Episode 5: “Soft Life vs Provider Mode: Men in a Failing Economy”

    In this episode, we talk about the tug‑of‑war between being a “soft life” man and a traditional provider in a harsh Nigerian economy. We discuss group trips, Dutch dates, bride price with real salary numbers, black tax, and mental health. It’s a money episode disguised as vibes.

    Episode 4: "Birth Control: Whose Responsibility, Really?"

    In this episode, we talk about sexual health from the male POV, but not the usual “it’s her body, her problem” escape. We talk real pregnancy scares, hilarious but tense stories of prayer and withdrawal gone wrong, and then shift into a clear-eyed conversation about what responsible behaviour looks like for men.Follow us on Instagram @theoverthinkershq to be a part of the Overthinkers Anonymous community.

    Episode 3: Why Don’t Men Read?

    In this episode, we talk about men’s low engagement with reading, especially fiction, arts, and humanities, and what that means for emotional awareness and adulthood. Instead of shaming “men that don’t read,” this conversation asks why so many guys stop reading anything beyond self‑help, money books, or tech threads, and what needs to change if life now demands more emotional literacy, empathy, and range. We try to see if men can expand beyond “48 Laws” and hustle PDFs into stories, essays, biographies, and art that help them be better partners, fathers, colleagues, and friends.Join the Overthinkers Anonymous community - follow us on Instagram: @theoverthinkershq

    Episode 2 | The Struggling Babe: When the Man Earns Less

    What does it feel like when the man earns less in the relationship? From rent, vacations, and gifts to more subtle moments like meeting her friends and family, this episode sits with the discomfort of men who are carried or are perceived to be, and women who carry them. We explore how money, ego, love, and respect play out when the economic roles are reversed.Join the Overthinkers Anonymous community: Follow us on Instagram @theoverthinkershq

    Episode 1: “When Will You Make Money?”

    This episode is a deep dive into the “what am I doing with my life?” era, the seasons where men feel behind, broke, or confused about career and money. Instead of only mocking “hustle culture” and get‑rich‑quick schemes, the episode sits in the tension: family asking “when will you now make money?”, timelines set by social media, and the quiet panic when your peers seem to be levelling up while you’re still experimenting.
