• Should've Gone to Therapy EP016|| Nigel’s Off the Bench & Was Winston Churchill Jamaican?
    Jun 25 2025

    Nana’s out, Nige’s in, and things get chaotic quick. Episode 16 kicks off with the big questions:

    Was Winston Churchill Jamaican? Would you rather be funny or smart? And if you were 18 again…are you picking uni, or saving yourself the debt?

    Then, the boys stumble into something deeper: are you coasting through life without realising? And how do you even know when it’s happening? Nigel opens up about his approach to goal-setting, which involves dire consequences and some serious self-pressure to stay on track.

    It’s a little bit of madness, a little bit of therapy, and a lot of Cookie and Nigel just throwing thoughts at the wall.

  • Should've Gone to Therapy EP015 || Should’ve Gone to the Gym
    Jun 18 2025

    The boys are back! And this time, fresh from the gym. Episode 15 kicks off with a recap of a sweaty little challenge session with the mandem, and a debate on whether working out with friends actually helps… or if it’s just loud reps and no peace.

    Things take a more reflective turn as Cookie shares his thoughts on the recent Air India crash, and how moments like that hit different when you work in aviation. Life’s fragile, and sometimes you need that reminder.

    Then we move into book mode. Nana’s been reading The Way of the Superior Man and, of course, he’s brought quotes. Cookie tries to keep a straight face while Nana breaks down ideas about purpose, masculinity, and taking criticism from your friends. One of them’s leaning in, the other’s rolling their eyes, and you can probably guess which is which.

    To wrap it up, Scroll Patrol finally makes its debut: the segment where the boys judge viral self-help clips and decide whether it’s wisdom or waffle.

  • Should've Gone to Therapy EP014|| Sweat, Shame & Self-Improvement
    Jun 11 2025

    Nigel’s in the building! The boys welcome their first ever guest and potential co-host, as Cookie and Nana put him through a very professional two minute interview.

    Cookie recounts a traumatic journey home lugging 40kg of podcast gear through central London in 26 degree heat. The lesson? It’s time to get a car. That opens the floodgates to a chat about driver’s licenses, shame on the tube, and a hilarious story about Nana’s dad dodging the DVLA.

    Nana breaks down his new wellness plan—MBSR: Mind, Body, Soul Revitalisation—a self-imposed programme to get back on track mentally, physically, and spiritually (and maybe get a little hench again while he’s at it). The boys reflect on momentum, discipline, and what it takes to feel good in yourself again.

    Like what you hear? Stick around, there’s more coming.

  • Should've Gone to Therapy EP013|| New Set, Same Chaos
    Jun 4 2025

    The boys are back—with a new set, new chairs, and the same life overload. Cookie and Nana settle into their central London spot and reflect on what it means to feel like real podcasters (whatever that means). They chat about the growing pains of juggling too many projects, learning to manage time when everything feels urgent, and finding systems that might keep them sane. Plus, a chat on telling your boys you love them, fighting the scroll addiction, and a surprise spoken word moment you didn’t know you needed.

    If you’ve ever tried spinning too many plates at once—or just forgot to say goodnight to your mates—this one’s for you.

  • Should've Gone to Therapy EP012|| Focus, Fibres & the Gratitude Grab
    May 28 2025

    Cookie and Nana return for another open and honest conversation — this week, tackling the struggle of staying focused while working from home. Nana opens up about his battle with distractions (especially YouTube), and the boys unpack what it really means to be productive. Is it a lack of focus, or just a harsh self-assessment? And what happens when learning becomes an excuse not to take action?

    They also touch on grooming habits (yes, eyebrow threading included), Cookie’s Amsterdam antics, and introduce their brand-new segment: the Gratitude Grab. It’s a feel-good finish to a thoughtful episode — light, honest, and full of laughs.

  • Should've Gone to Therapy EP011|| Anniversaries, Austerity & Adulting
    May 21 2025

    Welcome to Should've Gone to Therapy. Put simply, a podcast about life and trying to get the best out of it. Join Nana and Cookie on a journey of self development, friendship and adventure.

    This week, the boys get reflective… and a little exposed. Nana celebrates a relationship milestone with a thoughtful gift, while Cookie admits he’s never made it that far. Is it a fear of commitment—or just economics?

    From income insecurity to CCJs, they unpack how money (or the lack of it) shapes their relationships, routines, and self-worth. They question their financial habits, dig into how upbringing influenced their money mindsets, and Nana shares a budget hack that doesn’t involve managing his own bank account 👀

    Love, money, and hard truths—it’s a grown-up conversation (with the usual childish energy).

  • Should've Gone to Therapy EP010|| Ashton Hall, Taking On Feedback, & WTF Is The Manosphere?
    May 14 2025

    Welcome to Should've Gone to Therapy. Put simply, a podcast about life and trying to get the best out of it. Join Nana and Cookie on a journey of self development, friendship and adventure.

    The boys kick off with an Ashton Hall-style ice bath, then dive into the delicate art of taking feedback—when to take it on, when to ignore it, and how to stay true to yourself while trying to grow. They get into the politics of saying “no,” people trying to spin the block, and whether you’re really allowed to do nothing anymore. Plus, some thoughts on Netflix’s Adolescence and a light breakdown of the Manosphere.

    It’s a mixed bag of cold water, hot takes, and honest conversation.
