⁣Love San Bernardino County with Robert Porter on Mon, 15 Dec, 2025

What starts as a joke about Mr. Pibb vs. Dr Pepper quickly turns into a deep conversation about what it really means to carry weight as a father, son, and partner. This episode brings the usual laughs—chaotic gym moments, internet madness, and some hilarious dad fails—but what stays with you is the honesty around mental health, grief, and presence.

We get into how men deal with emotional overload, especially when they’re expected to stay calm, lead families, and hold it together. From finding a therapist who speaks your language to learning how to stop one bad moment from taking your whole day, we break down the small but powerful shifts that protect peace at home.

A raw story about losing a father brings everything into focus. We talk about that final phone call, the quiet pain of navigating death logistics, and the grief that doesn’t go away—it just becomes something you live with. Through that lens, we explore how presence becomes more important than perfection, how kids pick up your stress even before you do, and how to start healing without making it a secret struggle.

The laughter never stops, because joy is part of survival too. From cultural nostalgia to haircut fails to age-guessing games, this episode balances humor with heart—and delivers tools that actually help. If you’ve been looking for real talk on fatherhood, grief, therapy, and mental clarity, this one’s for you.
