136. Doing What Dad Said - Meet Rod

"I hoped I gave you guys the gift of life. Cause unfortunately it’s not gonna work my way. So, it’s up to you guys to get checked regularly and stay in tune".

This was Rod’s message from his dad which he religiously heeded after his father’s passing.

It’s also a lesson he keeps sharing with every guy he meets. Go get checked.

He’s been doing this for more than 15 years. And now, he’s here to share it to a worldwide audience. ;)

Meet Rod.

Rod was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer last January 2022, but he wasn’t surprised since he knew it runs in the family.

What’s unusual for Rod though is that he stayed longer in the hospital compared to other patients.

His continence was good, making him quite confident until, one day when he had too much alcohol and had the realisation that “Jacks” is better than beer if you want to keep the nappies away.

Rod will take you through his journey - from his dad’s story to his own. He’ll also share why he’s using a pump for muscle exercise and that needles are a good thing. Also, he’ll talk about the changes in orgasm and how it is now.

Rod also shares what he wishes he knew before starting his journey.

Lastly, he's curious if his kids will listen to this podcast. We know you’ll do, though!

Enjoy listening! Do you think Rod’s kids will listen to this? Share it in the comments. ;)

If you wish to talk to Rod, please let us know so we can share his contact details with you.
