About this episode

Mike Thurston is a podcaster, YouTuber and a fitness model. Me and Mike went to university together 15 years ago.

Expect to learn why Mike wants Derek from More Plates More Dates to test him for steroids, why going to university wasn't a waste of time, why Mike stopped drinking alcohol, what he thinks about Greg Doucette's Youtube Channel, why women are just as lost as men, the problems of masculinity in the modern world and much more...
