Erin’s off this week, so Terry brought in his friend and fellow musician Jake Suleman, and it turned into one of the most honest conversations of the series. Both of them are autism dads. Terry to Harry, Jake to his 8-year-old daughter Esme. Two totally different kids of the same age. Despite the differences, Terry and Jake share the same lifestyle and same highs, lows, and hard days.

Terry shares the moment from a few days before recording that stopped him in his tracks. Harry saying his first word with real purpose. Jake talks about how Esme sees the world: no concept of violence, unable to spot a bully because she assumes everyone talking to her is a friend. They get into how differently Esme hears the world; super-sensitive to sound, picking up songs she can’t stand even when they’re barely audible. And they land on the thing neither of them takes for granted: that their careers in music simply wouldn’t exist without help from their families and their wives holding everything together at home.

Two dads, two guitars, and the kind of conversation that doesn’t happen often enough.

If your partner put a fire emoji on a photo ofan attractive person on Instagram, would you care? Most people have an answerimmediately. Almost no couple has ever actually discussed it.

This week Erin and Terry get into the grey areathat every couple navigates but almost none of them talk about out loud. Themicro cheating spectrum, from a liked photo to a deleted DM, and what it isthat actually tips something over the line. What acceptable interaction withfollowers looks like when the inbox is full and people feel entitled to aresponse. The difference between a public reply and a private DM, and why thatdistinction matters more than what was actually said. And the real questionunderneath all of it: where does each of them genuinely draw the line, not thepublic answer, the actual one?

Plus: why deleting messages is always theconfession, regardless of what they said.

Tell us in the comments: fire emoji, flirty DM,or deleting messages. Which one would actually bother you most, and does yourpartner know?

They did the menopause episode. This is the other side. Because men’s bodies are changing in their 40s too! Testosterone drops roughly one to two per cent every year after 30, and the symptoms look like depression, burnout, or just getting older. Most men never find out what it actually is.

So this week Erin and Terry get into andropause. What it is, what it does to mood, energy, libido, and body composition, and why the vast majority of men who have it never talk to a doctor. Plus the body image pressure that’s been quietly building on men the same way it built on women. Gym culture, the before–and–after pics, the supplement use that’s really about fear of ageing and not feeling like enough. And what all of it does to a relationship when nobody in the house has the language for what’s actually going on.

It’s not a sad episode. It’s an honest one. And it’s long overdue.

Tell us in the comments: men, have you ever felt your body or energy shift and said nothing about it? Women, did you notice before he did?
