We all see how the manosphere profits off the loneliness, rage and misogyny of young men. There are 100 coaches a day you can scroll past telling a man how he can be a true "alpha dude bro". ICK. Profiting off pain and rage with no intention of actually helping.
But there are men who are actually trying to help men heal, help them learn to build community and develop connection- what does that look like? What are those coaches seeing in men that needs to change? I brought in the coaches from the Delta to talk about exactly that. I have personal experience with them cause I've watched them transform my brothers life.
Everybody in our world is hurting, we live in such an unnatural disconnected society. Can men heal enough that women can feel safe? Can there be common ground But what about the men who haven't gone to the manosphere but don't know where to go? Who actually want to do better and realize that something is missing? The world doesn't change until we do.

Trying out posting yesterday's news here- if a morning recap helps you stay informed but also gives you a break from the social media cycle, here to help

I firmly believe that the United States will only be as progressive as the south is.
Tennessee is not as red as you think. The history of gerrymandering, the exploitation of the south, the control of super red majorities would have you believe that these "super red states" are a lost cause, they aren't.
In this episode we will cover some of the suprising history of Tennesee as a state of change, and the hope for a better future with the candidate for congress in Tennessee district 9- Justin Pearson.

TW: Suicide
First ever true crossover episode! Flippers meet the Hellions, Hellions meet the Flippers. This case included so much of our mutual subject matter we decided to post it on both shows.
Mica Francis Miller, 30, died on April 27, 2024, at Lumber River State Park in North Carolina, roughly an hour from her home in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. She had bought a handgun that afternoon and called 911 minutes before shooting herself; the Robeson County Sheriff's Office and North Carolina medical examiners ruled her death a suicide. Days earlier she had filed for divorce from her husband, John-Paul Miller, pastor of Solid Rock Church in Market Common, and police records show she contacted law enforcement at least 14 times between February and mid-April 2024.Court filings and family statements alleged years of abuse, surveillance, financial control, and nonconsensual distribution of intimate images; a December 2024 filing added strangulation allegations. Miller denied wrongdoing.
On December 17, 2025, a federal grand jury in South Carolina indicted Miller on two counts, cyberstalking and making false statements to investigators, alleging he used tracking devices and unwanted communications to harass Mica from November 2022 until her death. Netflix's documentary series "Death of a Pastor's Wife" premiered August 27, 2026, renewing attention on the case and on South Carolina's protective-order law.
