The start of a New Year brings a fresh feeling of promise, optimism, and enthusiasm. Too bad it lasts about as long as it takes someone or something else to ruin it for you. Face it, it's the age we live in.

Why do we continue to give these things so much power over us? Do we not have power over ourselves? Wouldn't New Years Resolutions have a higher success rate?

We do have that power. In fact, New Years Resolutions have a 100% success rate in that EVERYONE and ANYONE can make a New Years Resolution. Where we fail, is when we speak and act as if the resolution itself is enough- forgetting all the work, commitment, and discipline needed to realize it.

New Year's resolutions carry low expectations. No one expects them to last, above all, the one who is resolute. After this, we deny accountable for our lack of follow through by saying, "Well, I tried..."

Happy Holidays from Dammit Man!

As requested by listeners, Gavin shares a small recollection of his dream as a cage fighter. Maybe not all is lost... Even though he did.

On today's episode, Brandon and Gavin come to their senses!

Metaphorically speaking.

This discussion contains opinions, stories, and perspectives regarding the meaning and symbolism of the male orgasm, how important it is to reach this climactic finish for yourself, your partner and most importantly, in a timely manner.

And with that, in the vein of two juvenile boys with microphones: C'mon down!

It's not a new concept to flush your crap down the toilet. That's what you do with crap, right? Because, taking it with you would be RIDICULOUS ! So why do we take so many pounds of proverbial excrement with us, daily, nightly, yearly, and "lifely"? Well, like the unwanted house guests who are entertaining for the first few minutes but then surf your couch for the next year, these thoughts, opinions, and ideas also overstay their welcome. The good news is, we all have a choice. The better news is, we've always had a choice.

It can be easy to let negative social fecal materials build up in our minds to where it distorts our vision to only see life through a shade of nutty brown. Where does all that corn come from anyway??

Brandon and Gavin take a deep dive into how we can all protect our minds from the noise and chatter of our social media, news media, and familial vices and devices. How? Maintain your identity on your terms

In the age we live in, mindfulness is at it's peak of popularity. "Gratitude" goes with "Mindfulness" like the Heart goes with a Beat. The problem is, anyone can tell you that... But what does it really mean? We all desire to experience joy, love, and the success that comes with accomplishment yet friends, family, social media gurus and dating apps tell us to live in the moment (at all times).

Does this mean that it's wrong to dream, make improvements, or desire better for yourself? Do we need to force gratitude or is it something natural that we can experience any time we can relax our minds? Is it ok to be grateful for what have while we continue to achieve more?

Brandon and Gavin recommend we all slow down and "remember to remember". It doesn't matter how big, small, or often we practice this; just once might be enough to remember that it's not that bad to be who we are and where we are, and that where we go from here is entirely up to us.

They say, about “tough love”, that it may not be the love you want… But it’s probably the love you need.

These days, it seems that Tough Love has become another platitude in the 21st century lexicon of watered down phrases. Some lean into the tough more than the love. Others, use Tough Love as license to deliver blunt, tactless criticism to friends, coworkers, family, and partners; insensitive to their struggles or limitations, and forgetting that Tough Love is nothing without… Love.

When delivered with love, as the dominant motivator behind the words, the message will land 100% of the time. Remembering to fuel your words with love will affect your choice of words as well as the manner in which they are delivered. With care, respect, patience, and of course… Love.

What’s the difference between a boundary and a preference? Is it open to interpretation? Maybe.

It’s common to believe that a boundary is a line never to be crossed, instilled or communicated by one person and his/her wishes for others to abide by. If you’re in this group, you’re not wrong, necessarily. But, what if the term has been so overused that it’s really masking a “preference” motivated by the ego or convoluted sense of entitlement? It’s not to say that preferences are not allowed, but it is all in the delivery, the intent, and the follow through. Otherwise, you might just be an @$$.

What if a preference is what separates the individual from the outside: I prefer pizza over tacos. whereas a boundary is really intended to help the outside build a relationship with individual through respectful, cohesive effort: If you’d like me to be in your life, I need to trust you to tell the truth. If you can’t do that, I have to leave.

What began as a light hearted conversation over men’s infatuation with- and the influence of- the southern region of the female anatomy, turns into a valuable discussion over ethics, not just in dating, but in the way we conduct ourselves in all areas of our lives.

Since before the advent of online dating (personal ads), “catfishing” has been synonymous with the rise and risk of meeting strangers on dating apps.

The question is, to what lengths will men go to imitate the visage of a good man as opposed to simply being one?

As Philosopher/Poet Fred Durst once said: “I did it all for the he Nookie”.

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded 1 week prior to the result of the 2024 United States Presidential Elections.

We state this for clarity as Dammit Man is not a political podcast nor do we wish to alienate any American voters for their beliefs and right to choose their country's representative. This being said, we must acknowledge that many Americans may be faced with the anguish of disappointment and the fears and concerns that accompany it.

The contents of this episode describe the feeling of disappointment which, depending on the scope of its severity, can paralyze men or worse; send them hurtling in a downward spiral of shame, apathy, or despondency.

Brandon and Gavin discuss the key ingredients which may instigate disappointment so as to recognize their origins to ease - or reduce- the suffering that may come from it.

Dammit Man encourages men to adopt the old adage: It's not REJECTION, It's REDIRECTION.

Every generation encounters struggles, challenges, and adversity. Equally so, each will achieve it's own success. The definition of these critical life moments may differ from one generation to another, but that does not mean they are any less significant.

If you're reading these words, regardless of your age, gender, or geographical location, you are a custodian; a care taker. We all are. That is our collective responsibility as long as we live and breath.We count on the previous generation(s) to prepare the new to eventually take over in their stead. It's what has kept humans in existence for these countless generations. So why the divide?

It appears that now, more than ever, generational elitism has separated us by disparaging illusions of one another; placing all the blame and bearing none of the responsibility. Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Z are all a part of it. Maybe we should act like it... Together.
