The Body and The Beast

Ep138 - 40 THINGS AT 40


Listen Later

In this special (and slightly shorter) birthday episode, Jay and Dan reflect on what it really means to hit the big 4–0.

From men's mental health and life perspective shifts to cold plunges, confidence, candles, and doing hard things.

Jay shares 40 rapid-fire lessons learned over four decades.

Expect wisdom, wit, and a few f-bombs. Plus:

  • Why “comfort is killing you”

  • The power of writing sh*t down

  • Jay’s new mental health podcast: “This Is Why He Killed Himself”

  • And why it’s finally time to light that overpriced Yankee candle…

Whether you're 40, approaching it, or long past it – this one's for anyone who wants to live a better, bolder second half of life.

Highlights Include:
🔥 The real reason Jay created his new 10-part podcast on men’s mental health
💡 Dan’s thoughts on peace, getting older, and giving fewer f*cks
🧠 Why confidence is built, not born
🏋️‍♂️ The importance of muscle, stretching, and saying "no"
🕯️ “Light the candle” and other unapologetic life advice

🎧 Listen now. Share it with a mate who needs it. And for the love of sanity, light that candle!
