We’ve all been there - everything’s going well: your fitness is on point, your diet’s locked in, work’s thriving… and then, suddenly, it all unravels.

In this episode, we dive deep into the shame, confusion and chaos that can come with inconsistent sex drives - from long dry spells to sudden spikes in activity. Connor gets real about slut-shaming himself, questioning his motivations for sex, and wondering whether there’s a universal playbook for what’s “normal” in the bedroom. Spoiler: there isn’t. What starts as a casual convo quickly turns into a full-blown therapy session for Connor lol. Expect reflection, vulnerability, a bit of oversha...
In this episode, we’re asking the question that haunts every wellness reel and productivity guru: is there really such a thing as the perfect morning routine? We break down our own routines - one hinged, one unhinged - and talk about whether these routines actually help or just stress us out even more. We also get into the performative nature of influencer mornings (you know the ones) and why they sometimes just make us feel like shit. If you’ve ever felt guilty for not waking up at 5am wit...
In this episode, Connor & Louis dive into their personal experiences with their dads, how those relationships shaped them (for better or worse), and what they've done to work through it.

Plus, they play a round of Pump & Dump: Parenting Edition - for example, throwing cheese on babies to stop them crying... Hit play for deep chats, some questionable wisdom, and a few...

GAYNS just turned one, and in true reflective fashion, I’m pulling back the curtain on what this past year has really been like. From the strengths that made GAYNS thrive to the weaknesses that nearly derailed me, this episode is an honest look at how building this brand has exposed me—for better or worse. I’m breaking down: 💪 The qualities that made GAYNS work (and the ones that didn’t) 🙃 The biggest struggles and unexpected challenges 🎢 The hardest moment of the year—and how I got through i...
In this episode, we ask each other the questions that matter most. Connor challenges Louis to open up about the role addiction has played in his life, leading to a deep dive into his past gambling addiction. In return, Louis asks Connor if he's truly happy—which forces him to confront his own struggles with ambition, self-worth, and the feeling that he won’t be happy until he's unlocked his full potential. Tune in for laughs, lessons, and the cost of being addicted to more! You can also follo...

Can't forget as well a cheeky game at the end where we decide whether chanting in yoga, mouth taping, sleep tracking apps and more are getting pumped or dumped!
In this episode we actually got into a bit of an argument! What role do genetics have to play and what can you do about it if yours aren't playing ball?! Is there anything you can do to improve it or do you just have to accept your limitations? Connor & Louis have two different perspectives! We also talk about what to do when you literally don't have any time to workout and that's not even an excuse! We talk you through the steps you can take to find time or improve the time that you do ...
Ok this episode ended up being all about balance! If it’s even possible when you really care about a goal, if so, to what degree, and are you willing to accept your personal limitations if you’re someone that’s not very good at having it? We also had to hold our question contributor accountable when it seems like they could be lying to themselves about their party habits. You can’t fool Connor, he's been there. As always finishing with a quick fire round of Pump Or Dump featuring cere...
