In this episode of The Quiet Riot Show, Tommy, Tim, and guest Chris Santos dive into the unfiltered side of fatherhood and men’s mental health. Chris, a close friend who once helped Tommy find the courage to reach out for help, shares how therapy and group sessions changed his life — and how it can change yours too.
The conversation drifts between laughs, reflection, and real vulnerability. From the chaos of raising kids in today’s world to the quiet moments that remind us why we keep pushing forward — we explore how men connect with their children, what it really means to “show up,” and how our past shapes the fathers we become.
You’ll hear stories about balancing mental health, cultural expectations, and the unspoken pressures men face daily. The guys also dive into why friendships between men are crucial — even if it’s just sending that “Hey man, how’ve you been?” text to someone you haven’t talked to in ages.
It’s a raw, relatable conversation about being a man, a father, and a friend — and the importance of not going through it alone.
