In this episode of What's A Good Guy, the crew dives into the emotional "knots" we carry — unresolved beefs, old friendships, unspoken issues, pride, ego, and the way unhealed situations still control our reactions years later. Inspired by physical therapy and "getting the knots out," this conversation draws a powerful parallel between tight muscles and tight emotions. We break down: Why some people still move with tension YEARS after the fallout Why you can be "over it" verbally but still triggered by their presence When pride keeps you knotted up and unable to heal Why avoiding someone is NOT the same as moving on Whether every situation deserves closure or forgiveness The cost of holding animosity vs the freedom of letting go This is a raw, layered, and necessary conversation about emotional maintenance, ego, healing, and the hard truth: you can't reach full strength in life if you still carry knots from the past.
