In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with Matt Richmond — stepfather, family man, and the guy who taught Logan Lyman how to shave, skateboard, snowboard, and bodyboard in five-foot Hawaiian surf.

Matt came into Logan's life when he was eight years old. No pressure, no agenda — just chips in the truck, four-wheeling at the lake, and doing "guy" stuff together. What followed was the father-son bond Matt had always wanted and never quite had.

They talk through what it's like to be a man carrying grief. To have dinner with your kid, exchange texts about food poisoning as a joke, and get the call an hour and a half later. To pull up to an accident scene and know before anyone says a word. To wake up the next morning and genuinely not know if it was real.

Matt opens up about the daze that lasted a year, the anger that replaced it, and the 80-hour work weeks he's been running for seven years since — keeping busy, keeping her taken care of, keeping it together the only way he knows how. He talks about the what-if game, the things that still stop him cold, and why he doesn't care if anyone sees him cry.

He also shares what men don't say enough: that bottling it up doesn't make you stronger. It just makes your fuse shorter.

"I was proud of him. I still am." — Matt
