073 – Punk Culture, Raising Younger Cousins and Making Your Guy Friends Say I Love You, with Michael Bowers

Thomas and his friend Michael riff on the punk scene, mosh pits and structured violence, how young men radicalize, being a role model and parent figure to younger family, the lack of rites of passage in American society, not passing on generational trauma, saying I love you to male friends and family, the nuances and challenges of honest communication in relationships, and getting into nature to destress.
