The Hair Loss Drug That Costs Men Their Manhood

Alex ran 100km solo through the night and started falling asleep on his feet six hours in. Troy discovered his smoko noodles are 800 calories. And there's a hair loss drug blokes are popping like vitamins that might shut down the one thing they actually need working.

In this episode:
- Alex's backyard ultra sim and the moment sleep deprivation hit like a truck
- Troy's calorie tracking wake-up call and what Mi Goreng noodles are really doing to him
- Tim Kaprizak's new coaching app Mindset Matters and why you can't bullshit him
- The finasteride conversation every bloke needs to hear before popping pills for their hair
- Boy math: how to justify a concrete saw, a $2500 welder, and nearly buying a bobcat
- Alex fixing a two-stroke engine with zero mechanical knowledge and a screwdriver
- Jacob Garlick winning backyard ultras with no crew and pure savagery
- King of the Hill mind games and why prize money changes everything
