The Story of My Dad That Died

While Freddo initially shares lighthearted tales of joy and inspiration stemming from a mushroom ceremony, Benji throws a curveball with probing questions about Freddo's relationship with his parents. This unexpected twist leads to a poignant and deeply personal story: Freddo's discovery of his father's lifeless body when he was just 8 years old.

Freddo recounts this traumatic scene with an almost robotic detachment, offering a unique perspective on how a child's mind can shield them from the full weight of such tragic circumstances. He vividly describes the event, highlighting his surprising lack of tears or immediate sadness.

As the conversation unfolds, Benji's inquiries uncover surprising revelations that suggest Freddo's father's death may not have been as random as it initially seemed. A hand-written note delivered to Freddo after his 18th birthday further complicates the narrative.

Together, Freddo and Benji piece together fragments of the past, gradually realising that there may be more to the story than meets the eye.

Prepare for an emotional journey as Freddo bravely shares the story of his childhood and how both he and Benji grappled with the loss of their fathers at a young age. 

The episode navigates this sensitive topic with utmost respect, offering a deeply moving and thought-provoking exploration of their shared experiences.
