There are rules we all follow… but nobody ever actually wrote them down. You know exactly what I’m talking about. But today… we’re going there. We’re breaking down the unwritten rules between men and women—the ones that shape our relationships, mess with our communication, and sometimes completely hold us back from being real with each other. Where did these rules even come from? Do they actually help us… or are they just outdated expectations we’re too comfortable to challenge? And what happens when you stop playing by them? Let’s talk about it.

This week on the podcast, we’re diving into a conversation that hits a little deeper than usual why men feel like they can’t show their emotional side. From a young age, guys are taught to “man up,” stay tough, and keep everything bottled in. But where did that come from… and what’s it actually costing us? We break down the pressure to fit into society’s version of masculinity, how it impacts mental health, relationships, and identity, and why vulnerability is still seen as weakness instead of strength. This isn’t just talk it’s real experiences, real struggles, and an honest look at what men deal with behind the scenes. If you’ve ever felt like you had to hide how you really feel… this episode is for you.

Why do some of us talk things out… while others shut down? Why do some people feel comfortable expressing emotions… while others were taught to “tough it out”?In this episode of Got It Podcast, we dive into the powerful ways our parents’ parenting styles shaped the adults we became.From strict households to laid-back homes, emotionally open parents to the classic “figure it out yourself” approach, we explore how different upbringings influence everything from relationships and confidence to how we handle conflict and raise our own kids.Mario also shares personal insights as a father raising a son with autism while navigating life with ADHD showing how today’s parents are often trying to break cycles, learn new approaches, and do better than the generation before us.Because at the end of the day, none of our parents had a manual… and most of us are still figuring it out.This conversation gets honest, funny, and real about the differences in how we were raised—and how those differences show up in our lives today.

In this week’s episode of the Got It Podcast, Mario and Pat flip the script and dive into the question: How well do people actually know men? From relationships and expectations to the things men say versus what they really mean, the conversation gets honest, funny, and sometimes a little uncomfortable.They break down the stereotypes surrounding men, the pressure guys often feel but rarely talk about, and why communication between men and women can sometimes feel like two completely different languages. Along the way, Mario and Pat share personal stories, real-life situations, and a few moments that might make you rethink what you thought you knew about the male mind.Whether you’re a man trying to explain yourself or someone trying to understand the men in your life, this episode brings humor, honesty, and perspective to a conversation that doesn’t happen nearly enough.Do we really “get” men… or are we all just guessing?

This week, Pat and Mario challenge each other: Do men really know women… or are we just guessing confidently?They break down common misunderstandings, relationship blind spots, emotional cues, and why “nothing” never actually means nothing.Expect laughs, uncomfortable realizations, and a few moments where the guys admit… we might not be as dialed in as we think

This week, Mario and Pat go all in on the realities of loving someone from miles away. They talk about: The mental side of being apart Jealousy and insecurity (yeah, we’re saying it) How communication changes when physical presence is gone Whether distance builds connection… or exposes cracks And the question nobody wants to ask: Are some relationships only good because of the distance? Mario opens up about what distance really does to a man emotionally — especially when life, kids, business, and stress are already in the mix. Pat challenges the idea of “if it’s meant to be, it’ll work” and breaks down what actually keeps long distance alive.

We’ve all heard the phrase “make-up sex” but what’s really going on underneath it? In this episode, Pat & Mario unpack the emotional psychology behind reconnecting physically after conflict. Is it genuine repair, a release of tension, or a way to avoid the harder conversations?We talk about vulnerability, ego, attachment, and why intimacy can feel so intense after an argument. When does make-up sex actually bring couples closer… and when does it quietly mask unresolved issues?This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about communication, emotional safety, and learning the difference between connection and distraction. If you’ve ever wondered why the closeness hits differently after a fight, this episode is for you.
