In this Movember episode of 2 Dads Gen X Edition, we talk about the doctor visit men avoid at all costs: the prostate exam, the colonoscopy, the testosterone talk and the mental health checkup nobody wants to admit they need. We share the excuses we've all used ("it'll go away on its own," "I'll just walk it off," "Dr. Google said I'm fine"), laugh at the awkward parts, and get serious about why skipping the checkup isn't tough, it's risky. We're not doctors, and this isn't medical advice. We're two Gen X dads who've hit the age where the doctor snaps on the glove, and we want every guy listening to book the appointment, for himself and for the people who need him around. Subscribe for our weekly Gen X dad take on culture and parenting, and let us know in the comments: when was your last checkup? Be honest. Then tag a guy who needs to book one. 00:00 Introduction 00:51 Episode Break Down 01:29 Why Men Avoid the Doctor16:30 The Checkups We Dread 30:06 What Happens to Men After 40 41:22 The Checkup Nobody Talks About 50:59 Take Aways

How Screen Time, Social Media, Pornography Affect Young Men
#socialmediatips #parenting #singlemother #raisingboysIn Part 3 of our 5-part series, “Raising Young Men in Today’s World: A Guide for Single Mothers,” we tackle a difficult but extremely important topic for parents: how screen time, social media, and pornography can affect young men differently and why understanding these influences matters when raising healthy, confident, emotionally strong boys. On 2 Dads Gen X Edition, we bring an honest, funny, and emotional Gen X dad perspective to the challenges facing parents and young men today, including the impact of smartphones, social media algorithms, excessive screen time, online content, pornography, unrealistic expectations about relationships and sex, attention spans, self-esteem, social skills, and emotional development. We discuss why setting healthy boundaries around technology is not about being controlling or completely disconnected from the modern world, but about helping boys develop self-control, responsibility, real-world relationships, healthy communication, and the ability to make good decisions when parents are not around. For single mothers especially, understanding how digital media can influence boys can provide valuable insight into behaviors, attitudes, and challenges that may otherwise be difficult to recognize. We also explore why limiting or, when appropriate, eliminating access to harmful online content can be an important part of protecting a young man’s development while teaching him how to navigate technology responsibly as he grows older. If you are a single mother raising a son, a parent concerned about social media and screen addiction, someone looking for advice on raising boys in the digital age, or simply interested in understanding the male perspective on pornography, technology, relationships, and masculinity, this episode offers practical insight, real-world conversation, and the unapologetic Gen X dad perspective you won’t get from a parenting textbook. Join us for Part 3 of “How Screen Time, Social Media, Pornography Affect Young Men” as we examine how screen time, social media, and pornography affect young men and what parents can do to help their sons build healthier habits in an increasingly digital world.00:00 - Introduction 00:55 - Chapter Breakdown 02:23 - Why Screens Hit Boys Differently 16:44 - Rules That Actually Work 36:56 - Replacing the Screen with Real Life
