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

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.

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.

    Is Purpose Something Men Find or Something they Build? | Ep.54

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. Subscribe to Email - https://quietriotshow.ca/subscribe | VoiceMail - https://www.quietriotshow.ca An important conversations surrounding men’s mental health. What is a man’s purpose today? Is it family? Career? Friendships? Or something deeper? We explore the pressures men face, both internal and external. Whether we’re living out someone else’s expectations or defining our own path. What happens when a man no longer feels useful? Or when he achieves everything society tells him to, but still feels empty? If you’ve ever wrestled with questions about identity, masculinity, or your role in this world, this one's for you. But before we got into the real conversation of this episode, we opened up about the decision to take a short summer break. Let’s be real, life gets busy, and sometimes so does booking guests. We are also pouring our energy into our first-ever live event: Beers, Bros & Banter on July 24, 2025 (see out Website for more details). At this event we are hoping to create nothing but a space where men can show up, connect, and be real with each other. If you’ve been following our journey, this is your chance to be part of it. Join our email list to stay in the loop and help shape a growing community that’s doing mental health differently.

    Addiction, Identity, and the Quiet War | Ep.53

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. This week, it’s just the crew—no guests, no filters, just a raw conversation about what’s really been going on. Life has been hectic, which is why we’re dropping this episode a bit later than usual. But in the middle of the chaos, we took a moment to check in with each other—because that matters. One of the hardest things we’re dealing with right now? Quitting smoking and vaping. If you've ever tried to kick a nicotine habit, you already know—it’s brutal. We talk openly about the cravings, the triggers, and why it’s so damn tough to let go of something that once helped us cope. But we also dive into something deeper: What do men really want? We put ourselves on the spot with a little impromptu trivia—trying to name the top three core emotional needs that define a man’s sense of purpose, identity, and happiness. Women are often told they deserve to feel safe, loved, and prioritized. But what about men? What do we need—and why does no one talk about it? If you're a man trying to better understand yourself—or someone who loves a man and wants to support him—this one’s worth the listen.
