In this special Boat Night episode of Marriage Therapy Radio, Zach brings listeners into an intimate, long-standing tradition—conversations between close friends about relationships, personal growth, and the realities of marriage. Joined by longtime friends Sean and Greg, the three discuss the importance of having deep, open friendships where men can talk candidly about their relationships, struggles, and personal evolution. The conversation explores whether it's okay to vent about your partner, how relationships evolve through multiple “marriages” within the same partnership, and the role of death and rebirth in love—not just metaphorically, but through real-life transitions. They also reflect on the greatest love stories of all time, challenging traditional narratives and examining what makes a relationship stand the test of time. With humor, vulnerability, and philosophical insight, Zach, Sean, and Greg navigate topics ranging from romantic expectations to identity and care in relationships, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the kinds of conversations that deepen friendships and marriages alike. Key Takeaways The Importance of Male Friendships and Spaces for Honesty Boat Night is a long-standing tradition where male friends gather to talk candidly about their relationships, families, and personal struggles. Having a trusted space to process relationship challenges doesn't mean bashing your partner—it means seeking perspective and growth. Are You Allowed to Vent About Your Partner? The difference between "talking sh*t" about your spouse and "talking honestly" about struggles is intention. Healthy venting involves seeking understanding, not just resentment or validation from others. The Reality of Multiple Marriages Within a Marriage Long-term relationships go through different “marriages”—seasons of deep change where partners must recommit to each other in new ways. “If you've been married four times to the same person, that means three marriages had to die.” The Greatest Love Stories of All Time Aren't What You Think Traditional narratives like Romeo and Juliet or Tristan and Isolde romanticize young, dramatic love, but real love stories are about long-term commitment, sacrifice, and growth. "In any love story, something has to die—fantasies, expectations, or parts of yourself—to make room for real love.” The Fear of Expressing Desire in Relationships Zach reflects on how he encourages couples to be direct about their needs, yet struggles with openly expressing his own. Many people hesitate to voice their desires because it makes them vulnerable to rejection—or because they're unsure what they truly want. Who Cares for the Caregiver? As a therapist, Zach often supports others but wonders where he himself finds care and support. He wrestles with the tension between wanting to be strong for others and needing space to be vulnerable himself. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this final episode of the season, Samantha and Remoy tackle a question that's been at the heart of so many conversations lately: Are men truly lonely? It's a topic that hits home for so many of us, especially as we think about how gender norms shape not just our actions but our deepest connections.Luckily, The Pew Research Center has been hard at work exploring these very questions. Their latest report, Men, Women, and Social Connections, sheds light on the gendered trends shaping relationships in America today. Samantha had the chance to sit down with Kim Parker, one of the report's lead researchers, to dig into the findings. And in this episode, she brings all those insights back to Remoy. Samantha starts by asking Remoy a big question: How optimistic is he about life these days? Turns out, his answer puts him in the minority. Pew found that 58% of Americans lean optimistic, while 42% do not.Kim Parker shares the backstory behind this paper and how it fits into Pew's larger research initiative on gender and masculinity. It's all part of a broader effort to understand how Americans are thinking and feeling about these issues in real time.The big question: Are men lonelier than women? Samantha reveals the surprising (albeit nuanced) findings to Remoy, and the two dive into why this narrative about men and loneliness has taken hold.Pew's research uncovered fascinating details about men's and women's social networks. On the surface, they don't look that different. But dig deeper, and you find differences in how men and women use and interact with the people around them.Remoy gets candid about his own experiences, admitting that even with a great support system, reaching out for help as a man still feels like a major challenge.Samantha asks Kim about the connection between this report and Pew's earlier findings in How Americans See Men and Masculinity. Why do Americans say they want men to be more caring and vulnerable, yet men still struggle to seek support?The loneliness conversation takes an unexpected turn when Samantha reveals which group of people Pew identified as being lonelier than most. Spoiler: It involves the internet—and the way technology has become an inseparable part of their everyday lives.Samantha and Kim unpack how tech dependence can create unique barriers to connection, making it especially hard for this group to break out of loneliness.Finally, Samantha and Remoy reflect on the importance of self-care and taking a step back when needed. With everything happening in the world, it's a reminder we all need.Important Note: MASKulinity is taking a few months off to rest, recharge, and come back stronger than ever. We're so grateful to all of you who've joined us on this journey. Stay tuned for more powerful, curious stories about how masculinity shapes our world—and how we can reshape it together.

Welcome to this week's episode of Friendship Therapy, the podcast in which we look at friendships through a therapeutic lens.This week, Emma is joined by Elliot to talk about what it's like to be an, as he puts it, emotional male within male friendship groups. Elliot shares an experience that many of us might be able to relate to: being unceremoniously exited from a friendship group chat, with no real explanation or conversation beforehand. In this episode, Emma and Elliot talk about why being a lone voice in the wilderness might feel lonely, but might also be necessary when it comes to blazing a trail towards greater emotional intimacy and permission to be authentic among a group of individuals who haven't necessarily been encouraged to be vulnerable.Emma and Elliot also chat about the difference between friends who are surface dwellers and the ones who are depth seekers, and how to avoid emotional bends when we're traveling between different water pressures. In fact, this episode makes a lot of references to the ocean, from Finding Nemo to treasure chests - so we encourage you to settle back on your Lilo and enjoy the conversation.If you'd like to apply to appear on the podcast, please click the link below to fill out the form: https://forms.gle/9yZAVgF9BbyKhwsV7---Friendship Therapy is hosted by Emma Reed Turrell, produced by Chris Sharp and Lauren Brook.--- Social media: Emma Reed Turrell @emmareedturrellFriendship Therapy @friendshiptherapypodEmail: contact@friendshiptherapypod.co.uk

For this episode, David is joined by Rob Bell, a British Broadcast journalist who's well-known for tales of adventure, engineering feats and industrial history programmes. Recently, he has refocused and is currently exploring how male relationships and male communities can be improved in society. David helps owners and leaders to build their business without having to do it all themselves, so that they have a business that is ready to sell when they are ready. To build your business, so it is ready to sell, without the frustration and overwhelm, Download David's Free Guide '3 reasons you will never sell your business and how to fix it FAST! https://businessbreakthrough.live/3reasons/3-reasons KEY TAKEAWAYS Only 27% of men in the USA have 6 friends. In the UK, only 1 in 5 men have any friends. Often, friendships are born out of and maintained through shared experiences. Committing to regularly do things together builds strong friendships, but you need to structure these meetups, so people turn up often enough. Social media is helpful, but in-person contact matters too. The new ways society requires us to communicate, and act can make some people fear saying the wrong thing to the point where they say nothing and never connect. Bonding while enjoying a walk, run or skiing provides a chance to talk. Research shows that men and women build and maintain friendships differently. Authenticity is key. Show empathy and be willing to be vulnerable. If you go into business with a friend, be clear about what the exit strategy is. Be intentional about your friendships, really commit. BEST MOMENTS “It's perhaps a bit of a rarity amongst males to have a strong network of friends.” “That shared experience is key.” “I am a broadcaster, but I am not an extrovert….my go-to is actually to be very introverted.” “I find that structure really helps.” “Sometimes these little snippets are the kind of little top-up that you need just to check in and connect.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.linkedin.com/in/rob-bell-36155813 https://podcast.sketchplanations.com Radical Candor - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Radical-Candor-Revised-Updated-Saying/dp/1529038340 https://andysmanclub.co.uk A study that shows that modern men have fewer friends - https://www.americansurveycenter.org/why-mens-social-circles-are-shrinking Male loneliness epidemic in the UK - https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7488709/One-five-men-no-friends-loneliness-epidemic-leaves-thousands-living-isolation.html ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor, and investor with 30 years of experience across multiple sectors.

Movie of the Year: 1996Swingers (feat. Conor from iFanboy!)In this Movie of the Year episode, the hosts dive into Swingers, the iconic 1996 film that brought male friendship, 1990s L.A. nightlife, and swing dancing back into the cultural spotlight. Swingers not only redefined indie cinema but also launched the careers of Doug Liman and Jon Favreau, who would go on to become Hollywood heavyweights. This episode unpacks the film's timeless appeal by exploring its unique take on male camaraderie, its unforgettable swing dance scenes, and the remarkable backstory of Liman and Favreau's collaboration.Male Friendships in Swingers: Redefining Bromance on the Big ScreenOne of Swingers' enduring legacies is its portrayal of post-breakup male friendships. In this episode, the hosts examine how Jon Favreau's character, Mike, leans on his friends—most notably the brash yet lovable Trent, played by Vince Vaughn—to overcome heartache and rediscover his confidence. Rather than a cliché “bro” dynamic, Swingers presents male friendships with depth and sincerity, showing how friends help each other through life's awkward, often painful phases. The podcast explores why these friendships resonate, especially for audiences navigating similar relationships and social struggles.Doug Liman and Jon Favreau: The Vision Behind SwingersWith just a modest budget, Doug Liman and Jon Favreau created Swingers, a film that captured the spirit of a generation. The hosts discuss how Favreau's semi-autobiographical script was brought to life by Liman's guerrilla-style direction, using handheld shots and natural lighting that lend the movie an authentic, documentary feel. Favreau's clever, fast-paced dialogue—a staple of Swingers—cements the film's place in pop culture, while Liman's distinct approach sets the tone for future indie films. The episode highlights how Liman and Favreau went from indie darlings to Hollywood icons and why their collaboration still matters today.Swing Dancing: A Cultural Revival Captured in SwingersThe swing dancing scenes in Swingers are integral to the film's style and story, reflecting a broader swing dance revival in the 1990s. The Movie of the Year hosts trace this cultural phenomenon, explaining how the music and dance moves in Swingers helped revive a retro dance form for a new generation. The film's soundtrack, featuring bands like Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, became synonymous with Swingers' identity, offering a blend of cool and nostalgia. The podcast discusses how these scenes captured the swing dance revival authentically, making Swingers a time capsule of '90s cool.Special Guest Conor Kilpatrick from iFanboy Joins the ConversationAdding to the discussion is special guest Conor Kilpatrick from iFanboy, bringing fresh insights and humor to this Swingers deep dive. A fan of both films and comics, Conor connects the Swingers characters with relatable “everyman” qualities that resonate across both movie and comic book fandoms. His perspective adds depth, especially when he compares the film's characters to beloved archetypes in comic lore, and his energetic contributions make for an engaging episode filled with sharp insights and good laughs.Why Swingers Is "So Money" and Still RelevantThe hosts close with a look at Swingers' lasting impact and why it continues to captivate audiences. For fans of indie films, '90s culture, or anyone who's ever leaned on friends to get through hard times, this Movie of the Year episode celebrates why the movie remains “so money.”...
Two years ago, I got the call I'd always feared. A close friend had suffered a heart attack after years of alcohol abuse. Within 48 hours, he was gone. He died alone in a hospital bed, separated from loved ones by pandemic restrictions. But that isolation wasn't new to him. His alcoholism had been isolating him for years. I often wonder—what came first? Did his alcoholism drive his isolation, or did his isolation drive his alcoholism?15% of men say they have no close friends. That's about 25 million American men without a single friend to turn to. Even among those who do have friends, 79% report not receiving any emotional support from them. In the 18-23 age group, more than a quarter of men say, “no one really knows me.” Today, young men rely more on their parents than their friends.But it wasn't always like this. Back in 1990, most American men reported having 6 or more close friends. By 2021, that number had dropped to just 27%. The pandemic only made this problem worse, as isolation and the lack of opportunities for social interaction deepened the problem.The causes are many and complex. Cultural and societal pressures play a big role. Traditional ideas of masculinity often discourage emotional openness and vulnerability, limiting opportunities to build deep emotional bonds through genuine connection. Men often have what are called casual friendships—a co-worker, a golf buddy, or the guy they chat with at the bar. But these relationships usually lack the depth needed to offer real support during tough times or personal crises.Whatever the reasons, the results are significant and troubling. Depression in men is on the rise, correlating with an increase in male loneliness. This loneliness is linked to obesity, declining physical health, relationship struggles, extremist behavior, and substance abuse.Men account for 80% of suicide deaths in the US. Some studies suggest that increasing loneliness and isolation could elevate the risks of violence, domestic abuse, and extremist behavior. This is a crisis.This led me to do an informal survey of my male friends. I asked them a simple question: Who is your best friend that is not a co-worker or family member, and how often do you get to see them each year? I was shocked to discover that 20% of them confessed that they didn't have a best friend at all.This sparked a lively discussion within our group. None of us had realized just how disconnected we were. So, we made a commitment to change that. I joined a group called the Adventurman Guild, started by a friend of mine. The goal is simple: to be Boy Scouts for adults. The group goes on trips and adventures together. The guild has weekly challenges of learning, discovering, and sharing. The group has bonfires and gatherings that unite men to talk about issues in a private, confidential setting. It's been incredibly rewarding for the group.It's remarkable to see how the simple act of sharing and being vulnerable opens the door for others to do the same. It creates a domino effect, and the most common thing heard is, “I didn't know others felt like this.”In another friend group, we committed to setting up in-person dinners once every three months, deliberately carving out time from our busy schedules to be present and share. We've held four such dinners so far, and the connections have been deep and meaningful for all of us.The world needs more deep male friendships. Which really is to say, men need to take greater responsibility for their happiness and mental health by making the effort to build community within their friend groups. This is an enemy from within, but I believe it's one we can conquer by raising awareness and creating groups that go beyond the typical male relationships centered around work, sports, or alcohol.We need groups that make a concerted effort to build healthy connections around the shared human experience. Because as isolated as we may feel, once we start sharing our internal struggles and guarded personal demons, we realize we're not so different from everyone else. And that makes our troubles just a little easier to bear.This could literally save a life. I think it would have saved my friend.If you are a friend and you're too embarrassed to admit you are lonely. This is your opportunity. You're not complaining. I'm asking. Are you okay? I'm here to help and I believe you. Get full access to Year Of The Opposite - Travis Stoliker's Substack at www.yearoftheopposite.com/subscribe

Earlier this year, we were invited to join Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden on their podcast “Really, No Really” to promote our new book, ADHD Is Awesome. It was an amazing experience, and the whole time I was in awe of their friendship. Jason and Peter have been best friends for decades, and it's apparent that they admire and care about each other deeply. So we invited them on the show to talk about the secret to building strong male friendships. Penn and I fall into gender stereotypes when it comes to friendships. I go deep quick with fewer friends, and Penn has more surface-level friendships with a lot of people. We talk to Jason and Peter about how they met, Seinfeld stories, and advice anyone can use to build deeper connection. We also have a special mailbag from Charlie Berens, Myles Montplaisir, and Taylor Calmus… The Husbands of Target! Penn asked each of them what the secret to male friendship was during a recent visit.

What happens when you reach the midpoint of your life and look around to realize you didn't know who your true friends were anymore? In this episode, I share my personal journey of navigating the complexities of male friendships post-40, exploring why it's so challenging to establish new bonds at this stage in life. Through reflections on life events, social media influences, and political differences, Ben, Duce and I discuss the reasons behind so many broken relationships. We discuss how men are socialized to prioritize activities over genuine emotional connections, often leading to superficial, transactional friendships. We also hit the value of meaningful friendships within Christian communities — emphasizing the importance of finding a close-knit group of true friends who share the bond of Christ. Moreover, we underline the role of the local church in fostering these connections. Christ during His time on earth modeled what genuine friendship looks like and we want to encourage you to seek for and endure in brotherly bonds that sharpen and encourage you in the Lord.

We also talk about how to know if you've made achievement an idol, what the warning signs are, and why friends are so important (especially for guys).

Men struggle with strong meaningful connections. Many even struggle with just having a relationship. So many men today don't have close relationships or their relationships are just surface-level connections that don't fulfill the purpose of a relationship. We men need relationships and yet we forsake our own needs for a plethora of reasons. So why do we need to have good strong relationships? Why can't we just hermitize ourselves and just be done with it? Benefits of a good relationship Why are relationships needed? What makes the messy emotional events of having relationships with both men and women good for us? Live longer This is mainly for married men but when a man has friends who force him to get out of the house and go do things. These men live longer and more fulfilled because they have a relationship with both men and women. Men who are isolated have stronger suicide tendencies Sadly many men do end their lives because they have isolated themselves. In fact a guy who starts to isolate needs strong relationships more than ever. Happier Why do men actually long for relationships. Relationships with women It helps them see life as an adventure Three desires of a man He wants a battle to fight. He dreams of adventure. He longs for a beauty to rescue We love to care We Love to be cared for We do like the input from women Men seek specifics in their relationships and often don't find them Praise and approval Respect Connection Space Security Physical Touch Relationships with other men A means to be pushed to be better others to learn from A refill of their masculine energy Men need to have a connection with those around them Why do men not have as many friends as they could have? Many men don't have close friends at all Sadly many men have stopped trying or using the internet as a cheap knockoff connection They lost their girl's challenge. Coaching Offer Summary Introduction Bryan Goodwin hosts The Relaxed Male podcast, aimed at helping men remove the "nice guy" mindset and live life on their own terms. This episode (#221) focuses on the importance of relationships for men. Why Relationships are Important for Men Men struggle with relationships - romantic partners, family, friends, coworkers etc. Some men avoid relationships altogether through movements like "men going their own way." However, strong relationships provide several key benefits for men: Longevity Married men tend to live longer than single men, especially if the marriage is a strong, connected one. When a wife passes away, the widowed husband often dies soon after of "a broken heart." Lower Suicide Risk Men with solid relationships have lower tendencies towards suicide compared to isolated men. Friends will notice if a man starts withdrawing and pull him back out. Happiness Overall, married men report being happier than single men. Having masculine friendships pushes men to get out, try new activities and adventures they wouldn't alone. Benefits Men Seek in Relationships Words of affirmation/praise Respect Connection/security Physical touch (both platonic and romantic) Men are often the "romantics" craving spice from their wives Importance of Male Friendships Allow men to be their full, uninhibited selves Provide positive masculine energy that balances feminine energy from romantic partners Men learn from each other and push each other to grow Having a tight community of male friends is crucial Challenges to Building/Maintaining Friendships Many men lack close friendships - estimates of 15% having no close friends Online friendships are not a full substitute for in-person connection Romantic partners sometimes pressure men to drop male friends Men must be willing to stand up to this "test" from partners to keep respected friendships Bryan's Plug for Coaching Services For men wanting to improve their relationships (romantic or platonic) 3-month coaching package to change perspectives on relationships Connect with Bryan through the website to take advantage of a discounted offer Overall, the episode argues that all kinds of relationships - romantic, family, friendships - are vital for men's mental health, life satisfaction, personal growth, and even longevity. Building a strong community of male friends is particularly emphasized. 00:00:00 Introduction to The Relaxed Male 00:00:32 The Importance of Relationships 00:06:48 Benefits of Strong Relationships 00:11:22 Specific Benefits for Men 00:18:29 The Importance of Male Friendships 00:24:05The Role of Community in Men's Lives

If you could go back and advise your 20-year-old self about friendship, what would you say?Personally, I always had the worst social anxiety hangover, worrying about the things I said or did after hanging out with people. I know now I should have asked my friends about it instead of ruminating and worrying.This is the underlying theme of today's episode – lessons we've learned about friendship since our 20s – which features Arpita Mehta, a brand strategist and host of The Modern Millennial podcast. She's also the creator of the Little Brown Diary, a Facebook group of 38,000 South Asian millennial women. This episode is full of so many gems, and I walked away with so much appreciation for all the work my friends and I have done as we've grown and changed. It truly is a never-ending journey.In this episode you'll hear about:Limiting beliefs about friendships and how it's not something we're taught – making and maintaining friendship is something you have to learn through life experienceEver-evolving friendships – we won't necessarily be the same friends we are now ten or twenty years down the lineMale friendship groups vs. female friendship groups, and the effort required to keep a group together (hint: we sometimes make it more difficult than it has to be!)The downside of being the “connector” in a group who makes the plans and gets along with everyone (and the importance of getting other people to do this work too)Folding time with friends into things we were going to do anyway – like go shopping or pick up coffee, etc.Resources & Links:I can't suggest The Modern Millennial podcast enough. It's like hanging out with a friend – a mix of serious conversations, lifestyle, and beauty. Listen to Episode 42 to hear about the dynamics of friend trios and friend groups.Like what you hear?

Need something to light you up today? Maybe some profound advice? Look no further!Today's episode features Mark Delaney, host of the podcast The Purpose Mastermind. He and his wife Andrea are purpose dealers, which means they spend their lives helping people clarify their purpose into one simple sentence.He says that having something in life that moves us and compels us is at the core of what it is to be human; that we should all be purpose-focused instead of problem-focused; that so many of us don't live with full expression because of the walls between us and others.He brings so much thought-provoking wisdom in this episode, wisdom that has me analyzing my day-to-day interactions, and he presents the great reminder that friendship is not extracurricular. It's not only for “people-people.” We are all made for people.In this episode you'll hear about:Focusing on your past and trying to fix it vs. discovering your purpose and using this to move forwardPowerful, positive relationships vs. negative relationships (as opposed to “positive” or “negative” people)Tweaking the simple things and auditing yourself: are you showing up as yourself or are you putting on a show?The impact of tiny, consistent steps in the right direction instead of big grand gesturesTapping into the people around us to help us with our self-reflection and the clarity that comes with vocalizationResources & LinksLearn more about Mark Delaney and his podcast, The Purpose Mastermind.Like what you hear?

In this episode, we cover the different levels in which you can talk about money.

Today's episode is about friendship goals. Why set them? What do they look like?So many people are taking one action after another when it comes to friendship without much thought as to why. They're repeating old patterns and doing what they “think” they should do instead of focusing on their ideal vision of social wellness.I say “ideal vision” with a grain of salt. Likely, this vision is a moving target, changing as you change. Here, we talk about the steps to take and offer tips and examples that might help you make these goals for 2024.Like with anything, making and executing friendship goals will take a LOT of brain power in the beginning, but I hope you push through that uncomfortable phase and get to the place where you're just fine tuning.In this episode you'll hear about:The steps to making friendship goals, from setting aside time to reflect to stepping back and looking at the big pictureCategories to think about when making the goals, like: How much time do you have? What are your habits? What types of people do you want to meet?Assessing friendship problems you're currently having, like: Are there places where you're guilting or shaming yourself? What areas are you overwhelmed in?Six tips for making great friendship intentions; for example: Lean into interests! Create consistency! Use technology!Twenty examples of different friendship goals you could make; for example: Commit to connecting to one friend a month! Set admin friend time on your calendar! Being open to meeting new people and new versions of friends you already have – put your phone down, make small talk, be open, etc.Resources & LinksLike what you hear?

Books are like people – they come into our lives when we most need them.Today's guest, Kara Infante, host of the Bookish Flights podcast, shares this quote by Emma Thompson at the end of every podcast episode. Community and books are important to Kara, and as a military spouse who moves frequently with her family, she's learned that, for her, the easiest way to make connections in a new place is through book clubs, both by joining them and creating them.Talking about books might not involve the biggest, deepest shares, but allows people to see a bit of who you are. The idea seems deceptively simple, but it's actually genius. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: specificity is a great way to make connections. You can apply Kara's tips and ideas to any interest you might have. If you're looking to reconnect or deepen some friendships, spend a few minutes thinking about the shared interests you have. It might be a really easy way to open the door to more conversation.In this episode you'll hear about:All about Kara's podcast, Bookish Flights, which, in each episode, introduces three books that pair well togetherHow Kara meets new people by joining or creating book clubs, and why this works so well (recurring schedule, shared passions, easy reason to reach out, etc.)Using Kara's techniques for finding people during other big life changes (new jobs, new life circumstances, etc.) Creating a community you can take with you so that you don't have to start over every time you moveHow to find a book club or create a book club using Kara's format, plus, how to stay close to friends through the Sisterhood of the Traveling BooksResources & Links:Check out Kara's podcast, Bookish Flights, and find her on Instagram and Facebook.Like what you hear?

Ever think about the Roman Empire? Well, Travis Van Winkle does—sometimes. In this week's episode, our hosts sit down with the talented actor, Travis Van Winkle, who also happens to be one of Justin and Jamey's closest friends. They dive into a wide-ranging discussion covering dating, overcoming trauma, friendship insecurities, alcohol, the Roman Empire trend, and the art of embracing life's imperfect timing. When he's not gracing the screen, Travis Van Winkle devotes much of his time to his role as a Big Brother in the Big Brother Big Sister mentorship program. He opens up about his transformative experience as a mentor to his "little brother," Lyrik, and the revelation that he's more ready than ever for fatherhood. Travis shares his refreshed perspective on dating and marriage, opting for authentic human connections over dating apps while also acknowledging that the gift of marriage may not be in his immediate future. Later in the episode, Travis lays out his “curriculum for life” made up of the different challenges, learnings and lessons he's gained along the way. And Justin and Jamey reflect on Travis as a close friend, sharing heartwarming moments from their 20+ years of friendship, including a particularly vulnerable incident that threatened to tear them apart early on.
