Let’s get real: saying “no” is hard—especially when you’re exhausted, juggling life, health, and expectations. In this raw and no-BS episode, Danny and Tyler crack open what it really means to set boundaries as men. Danny shares his ongoing fight with cancer and how it's forced him to reevaluate everything from weed habits to people-pleasing. The guys dive into what healthy boundaries look like (spoiler: not ghosting, not snapping), why conflict avoidance is killing your peace, and how to stop being a doormat without turning into a jerk.

Also: paddleboard races, reggae jams, and a raffle win you won’t believe. This one’s equal parts gut check and good vibes.
