Spoilers ahead for The White Lotus Season 3, Episode 6
This episode also includes extended discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation, as portrayed in the show. Please listen with care.
Incest, ecstasy, ego collapses, and a gun that keeps changing hands—Episode 6 of The White Lotus pulls no punches, and neither do we. Charles and Dan unpack the unraveling masculinity of Saxon, Rick, and Timothy, asking what happens when the illusion of control shatters and power turns out to be just another costume.
We talk sibling boundaries obliterated, suicide contemplated, and the high cost of avoiding emotional discomfort—especially for men who’ve built their identities on dominance, detachment, or denial.
It’s one of our most intense—and most honest—conversations yet.
