<p>And boom, brand-new Man vs Mind drop out of nowhere, like we've never been away.</p><p></p><p>After three months away (and approximately 47 WhatsApp voice notes saying “we really need to record”), we’re finally back in the same room together.</p><p></p><p>This episode is one big catch-up on everything that’s happened while we’ve been gone – the beautiful, the painful, the surreal, and the very, very stupid.</p><p></p><p>J shares the joy of expecting a baby boy, alongside the heartbreak of losing his father-in-law. We talk honestly about grief, becoming parents for the second time, and how strange it feels watching your children slowly become their own little people.</p><p></p><p>We also unpack what it’s been like living through months of regional tension and uncertainty here in the Middle East – the anxiety, the sleepless nights, the emotional weirdness of experiencing “real-time trauma” while still trying to carry on with everyday life.</p><p></p><p>Somewhere in amongst all that: Tim rebuilt a kitchen, forgot to film half the episode, had an existential crisis during bedtime cuddles, and bought a pair of aggressively pink Adidas trainers with tiny platform soles.</p><p></p><p>It’s emotional, chaotic, very excitable, occasionally profound, and — fair warning — unusually sweary even by our standards.</p><p></p><p>We missed you.</p><p></p><p>(Back as usual on Monday morning!)</p>
