Episode 115 – Connection timed out

In this episode, Andy and Roger dive into the complexities of human connection in the modern world. They reflect on how technology, dating apps, and shifting social norms have reshaped relationships and intimacy. Roger shares a story about observing generational differences in dating behavior at a pub, highlighting how younger generations view exclusivity and casual dating.

The conversation expands to explore how modern life fosters disconnection, loneliness, and the struggle to form meaningful friendships, especially for men as they age. Andy and Roger unpack societal pressures, the role of alcohol in social bonding, and how changing work environments make it harder to build lasting relationships. They also discuss the broader implications of declining birth rates and whether our increasingly individualistic culture is sustainable.
