Bromance: Why Every Man Needs a Brother From Another Mother
Description
Behind every emotionally healthy man, there’s usually a Francois — or a Pellegrino. A friend who sees your mess, sticks around, and laughs and cries with you anyway.
In this episode of NUGGETS, we explore the secret power of male friendship — why it’s often awkward, why men struggle to say “I love you,” and how a real bromance can literally save lives.
From ancient stories like Gilgamesh & Enkidu to Chandler & Joey, male friendships have always mattered… but today, they might be more important than ever.
We dig into:
- Why male friendships reduce loneliness, depression, and stress
- The brain chemistry of male bonding: oxytocin, dopamine, shared rituals
- Why men drift apart after school — and how to rebuild deeper friendships
- How banter and teasing create safety, trust, and emotional fluency
- Why saying “I’m glad you’re in my life” is still so hard for men — and why it shouldn’t be
This one is raw, honest, awkward, funny — and surprisingly moving. If you’ve ever had (or needed) a Francois in your life, this episode is for you.
Listen in — and maybe send this episode to your Francois.
