    When the System Fails - A Raw Look at Men's Mental Health in Crisis | Ep.52

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. What happens when a man is physically or mentally abused and the system has no answers? We talk about the crushing reality of seeking help only to be dismissed or redirected. Call a mental health resource? They say call 911. Call 911? They say it’s not an emergency. This isn’t just frustrating—it’s dangerous. And in moments where men are already barely hanging on, the system seems to say, “Deal with it.” This is what started a powerful conversation after we listened to a voicemail from a listener—one that cracked open a deeply overlooked issue. So what do we do when the very places designed to support us leave us stranded? Maybe it's time to build something better. A space where men can actually be heard, believed, and supported. We close the episode with that thought—and maybe, the start of a movement. In Check-In, Tommy also shares a moment of clarity as he begins to piece together the next steps in his life, while Tim opens up about the pressure that's been closing in, forcing him to keep pushing forward in silence.

    The Power of Purpose: How Jason Tyler McLean Turned Pain Into a Mission | Ep.51

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. WANT TO HELP US? Click here.  Leave a voicemail here.  What does it take to transform a life shaped by depression, addiction, and despair into one defined by purpose and healing? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Jason Tyler McLean — a Winnipeg-based author, speaker, and educator — whose life nearly ended by suicide after years of battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, and addiction. But a “failed” suicide attempt became the turning point that launched a journey of healing, purpose, and advocacy. Jason opens up about how he went from being broken and self-destructive to becoming a voice for those suffering in silence. He shares the role storytelling played in his survival and how sharing his truth has helped others around the world. We dive into his first book, One Drop of Water — a raw look at his darkest moments and the spark that reignited his will to live. His second book, The Monarch Butterfly Effect, emerged from grief and a near-fatal motorcycle crash, both of which could’ve pulled him back into darkness, but instead strengthened his purpose and resilience. Jason also shares the daily practices that keep him grounded — from mindfulness and neuroscience to spiritual reflection and nature therapy. He reminds us that most people will go the distance to save others but won’t do the same for themselves. Real healing begins when we become our own best friend. Nature has become a sacred space in Jason’s healing — waterfalls, frogs, forests, stillness. These moments of connection now serve as medicine that no prescription could replicate. And in true Jason fashion, he leaves us with a challenge. A real one, with a deadline. Because transformation isn’t just a concept — it requires action.

    The Unfiltered Check-In: How Honest Conversations Are Saving Our Sanity | Ep.50

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. WANT TO HELP US? Click here.  Leave a voicemail here.  Get raw, real, and unfiltered conversations in this episode. What started as a simple check-in spiraled into a much deeper conversation about emotional growth, managing chaos, and how we're learning to be more open—especially as men navigating mental health. We reflect on how being more emotionally aware has transformed our relationships, reduced tension, and helped us communicate better with the people who matter most. But here's the thing: we’re all busy. Like overwhelmingly busy. So we ask: how do you manage everything—work, chores, relationships—and still find time for yourself? We dive into the personal expectations we place on ourselves and how those can either push us forward or quietly drag us down. The second half of the episode unpacks the core of this show—building honest friendships, creating a space where venting is okay, and not bottling things up until it breaks you (or someone else). We share how these real convos off the mic are exactly what we bring on the mic—messy, heartfelt, and full of perspective. We’re not here to sell you anything. We’re here because this kind of conversation saved us—and we believe it can help others too. We need your help to share this show, shape its future, and build a community that doesn’t pretend to have it all together but shows up anyway. Let’s unwrap this shit together.

    Life, Family, and Feelings - Seen Through Young Eyes | Ep.49

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. WANT TO HELP US? Click here.  Leave a voicemail here. Joining us for this emotional, unforgettable episode is none other than Tommy’s son, Jakub — 10 years old at the time of the recording (but officially 11 now!). We sat down to hear straight from a young man growing up in today’s world — what matters to him, what family means, and how he views life at this early but critical age. As the conversation unfolded, Tim threw out a few thought-provoking questions that made all of us pause — and in one unexpected moment, even brought Tommy to tears. What followed was something we didn’t plan for: a raw, emotional release from all three of us. Through Jakub’s honest answers and Tommy’s heartfelt reactions, we uncovered powerful truths about fatherhood, friendship, emotional growth, and how important it is to keep building strong, loving bonds between fathers and sons. This episode isn’t just about a father and a son — it’s about understanding the foundation of mental health for young men, the strength in showing emotions, and the beauty of creating lasting memories. Trust us — you’ll want to hear this.

    Unscripted Truths - Inside the Male Mind – Why We’re Talking About This Now | Ep. 48

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. WANT TO HELP US? Click here. Why are so many men still hesitant to seek help—even when it’s available? What if the medication you’re taking isn’t a cure, but a pause button? And how is the world changing for young men in ways we don’t fully understand? In this episode, we reunite with Patrick and Cam from Tampa Bay’s Men’s Health Unscripted podcast—pharmacists who blend real talk with medical insight. While they bring the clinical perspective, we dive into the emotional backbone of men's mental health. Together, we peel back layers of stigma, culture, and confusion around men’s health. We unpack the unseen side of antidepressants—how they can help, where they fall short, and why they shouldn’t be seen as the final solution. We also question the hype around weight loss medications: are they a quick fix or a deeper trap? The guys also open up about revamping their podcast—why they stepped back, what’s changed, and what men really want to hear. This leads to an honest conversation about why men’s mental health podcasts still struggle to go viral, even as the need grows louder. We wrap with a powerful discussion on what’s changed for young men today compared to when we were coming of age. From job pressures and dating to social media, porn addiction, and shifting ideas of masculinity—what’s holding today’s generation back? This one hits hard, gets honest, and breaks silence—one episode at a time.

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. WANT TO HELP US? Click here. In this episode, we explore men’s mental health from a woman’s perspective as Tommy’s wife, Adriana, joins us for a raw and honest discussion.

Tommy shares his struggle with mental health, the toll it took on their relationship, and the breaking point that led them to counseling. Adriana opens up about witnessing his darkest moments, the challenges of supporting a struggling partner while maintaining her own well-being, and the role communication played in saving their marriage.

    10 Days in a Coma—The Fight to Rebuild Dave Jacobson’s Life | Ep.46

    Email us at quietriotshow@gmail.com. WANT TO HELP US? Click here. Not everyone gets a second chance at life. Dave Jacobson did—but it came at an unimaginable cost. Like many Canadian kids, Dave grew up with dreams of playing professional hockey. He made it further than most, getting drafted and stepping into the world of pro hockey. But sometimes, the dream you chase isn’t the one meant for you. Realizing the sport wasn’t his true calling, Dave shifted gears and found a new path as an electrician. Then, in a single moment, everything changed. A severe workplace accident—an electric shock that sent him plummeting from a ladder—left him with a traumatic brain injury. Dave spent 10 days in a coma, his brain swelling so dangerously that doctors had to remove part of his skull just to relieve the pressure. When he woke up, he couldn’t walk, talk, or do anything on his own. It was as if he had been reborn, forced to relearn life itself. In this episode, Dave shares the mental and physical battles that followed his accident. Drawing strength from his faith, his family, and the relentless discipline he developed in hockey, he refused to accept defeat. In just three months—a miraculous recovery by medical standards—he was out of the hospital, regaining independence. But the journey wasn’t over. Twelve years later, he still faces daily challenges, from ongoing physical therapy to speech rehabilitation, as he continues to rebuild his life. Despite the lasting effects of his injury, Dave remains committed to staying positive, trying new things, and being the best father and husband he can be. His story is one of resilience, mental toughness, and a testament to the power of never giving up—even when life knocks you down harder than you could ever imagine.
