In our second ever in-person episode, we took a step back from Trump and the headlines and talked about why we started Find Out in the first place. The real mission behind it, the urgency of reaching men, and the left’s desperate need for no-BS conversations. But it wasn’t all serious. We also shared our favorite TV shows of all time, debated Better Call Saul vs Breaking Bad, and shared more of who we are when the politics aren’t the focal point. Less structured, more personal — and maybe our most fun episode yet.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com

For the first time ever, we got together in person to record this episode — and it brought the conversation to a whole new level.

We started with a deceptively simple question: What class do you wish every high school student had to take? That opened the door to a much deeper reflection on the lessons we never learned until life forced us to.

In the second half, we opened up about our own struggles with mental health — anxiety, depression, and the stigma men still face when asking for help.

This was one of the most raw and honest conversations we've ever had, and it’s one we hope every man, especially, takes the time to hear.

And speaking of hearing — if you’ve only listened to Find Out before, this is the one to watch.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com

Legal expert (and former MSNBC host) Katie Phang joins us to break down Trump’s escalating attacks on the rule of law and what they mean for the future of American democracy. We dig into who can actually hold his administration accountable for defying court orders, why executive orders aren’t law, and what tools Democrats still have to push back. Katie brings her sharp, no-BS insights to this chaotic and dangerous moment in American government.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com

For the first time on Find Out, we’re joined by a sitting member of Congress—Rep. Pat Ryan of New York’s 18th district. Pat breaks down how he held onto a district that went to Trump in 2024 by leaning into direct, local engagement—even in the reddest parts of his community.

We also get into why he calls the Trump tax bill a “shit sandwich,” and what Democrats need to do better when it comes to actually connecting with voters. It’s a sharp, unfiltered look at what real political leadership can still look like.Follow us on Substack at findoutpodcast.substack.com
