TJ McCormack explores the profound necessity of living out loud to maintain personal and relational health. The broadcast is structured in two primary movements: first, an intimate monologue detailing a contentious anniversary dinner where McCormack’s wife candidly expressed her unhappiness, and second, an interview with an Iranian professional named Atenna regarding the current uprisings in Iran. McCormack uses his own experience of vulnerability and silence to argue that "we are as sick as our secrets," suggesting that honest communication is the only way to prevent emotional and societal rot.
