| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserve a listeners. |
| 0:01.0 | So, burdo, emails and other stuff, let's get into it, what do I say? |
| 0:05.6 | Do it. |
| 0:06.6 | So listener Ray, he emailed in through the website and said, could you talk more about the |
| 0:12.6 | idea of solving toxic masculinity by emphasizing positive masculinity? |

| 1:19.9 | What is your response to this? |
| 1:21.5 | Well, before I throw to you, I want to say this is one of the most well-written emails |
| 1:26.6 | I've ever received, but Burdo, what do you think? |
| 1:29.4 | Ah, yeah, so this one's close to my heart because I'm a male. |
