Freddo talks about his latest YouTube video, where he answers the question “What advice would you have given yourself when you first got injured?”

This prompts Benji to ask a series of leading questions that bring us to the heavy topic of the suicidal thoughts and depression that Freddo faced back then, and an impromptu trip down memory lane. 

Details never spoken of on a public platform come to light and while raw and emotional at times, it is handled with humour and tackled sensitively.

We talk about how psychedelics inspired a remarkably powerful act of forgiveness. 

The spotlight of social media “progression” posts and the pressure of cheerleading. 

The instagram highlight reel vs the shadowy reality of depression and poor mental health.

And while these subjects are indeed worthy, things take a more typical lighthearted direction in the tail end of the podcast with Benji’s jovial storytelling including funny accents, foolery and duck jokes  🦆  It’s a quacker.
