Full episode: www.Patreon.com/KillTheComputer  The digital safety organization Reset Tech released a 160 page study outlining how the "Manosphere" isn't an organic movement so much as it is a series of financial scams.

Luke opens with a confession—he got fuming mad at a Catholic content creator online, posted about it on Instagram, and deleted it in the middle of the night—which turns the show into a long conversation about what men are supposed to do with rage. Dave VanVickle walks through lifting, prayer, and the confessional as outlets. He gets into Taekwondo's golden age, cage matches in Buffalo, and the night he took a knife in the back and still loaded the two men he knocked out into his truck bed and drove them to the emergency room. In This Episode: Luke's temper flare at a Catholic content creator who used a photo of the Pope to score a point about liturgy, the Instagram post he tagged him in, and the middle-of-the-night regret that made him delete it Dave's outlets for rage plus his read that watching the news right now should make a normal man angry Gomer on anger as a blanket over your life, why a lot of anger at the world is really anger at yourself, and giving up the news in 2019 The rad trad and Vatican II debate, Peter Kreeft's question about whether any of those posts are well processed, and Dave building a middle school philosophy course The study claiming the average American man thinks he's 400% more effective in a fight than he actually is Resources Mentioned: Philosophy 101 by Socrates by Peter Kreeft Forming Intentional Disciples by Sherry Weddell Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace Evangelii Nuntiandi by Pope St. Paul VI Catching Foxes on Substack Support Dave VanVickle on Patreon Chapters: 00:00: Welcome and Dave's New Middle Name 01:58: Luke's Anger Problem and the Influencer Who Set It Off 08:39: Lifting, Running, and Prayer as Outlets 10:57: The Manosphere and Men Who Stopped Reading 14:42: Gomer on Turning the Anger Dial Down 21:08: Rad Trads, Vatican II, and Peter Kreeft's Question 25:45: Infinite Jest and the Parasocial Prophecy 27:56: Teaching Plato to Seventh Graders 33:25: Dave's Complete Fighting Résumé 42:16: The Knife in the Back at Shenanigans 50:20: It's Not Like the Movies and the 400% Study 1:08:00: Closing Question—Combat Sports and the NFL Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios

We're updating you on the situation in western Colombia after it was hit by a deadly magnitude 7.4 earthquake this week and how the community here is getting relief there. NPR correspondent John Otis will join us from Colombia (01:03). We'll also take a deep dive into the controversial male dominance culture called the manosphere – and why South Florida is suddenly its epicenter. (19:03). And we'll examine why it's now harder to get by in Miami than it is in Manhattan (34:35).

IT'S TRASH DAY!!Let's take out trash while I do some exposure therapy! First up I'm clearing up the “WHITE PARTY” theme, giving you all the inside scoop on how I landed Amber Fillerup as the first guest of season 5, the madness of that morning and the relief when it was over, my takeaways from her episode, as well as filling you in on the most corky family tradition! I dumpster deep dive my “man hating tendencies” that I've started to have, thoughts on the documentary “Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere” and how AWFUL the men are, while also contemplating how life is created and how unfair it is. I give my possible hot take on Patrick Clancy and end with a “WHAT THE FUCK” moment.

In a time of fracture, in which people are searching for meaning and belonging, it is no wonder that men are re-exploring what manhood means. Yet the sense-making project around manhood has veered from the mythic journey it rightly could and should be into decidedly different territory. The last several years have seen the rise of the alt-right manosphere, whose narratives journey into outright misogyny, eugenics racism, and advocated violence. To weave these stories, the manosphere reaches for everything from fascist philosophers to Nordic animism to Bronze Age mythology, spinning tales of heroes who shone in individualist glory in order to reinforce a vision of the true man as one who dominates and triumphs and to reclaim an ancient vitality that they say is sapped by everything from immigration to feminism. But the vitalist manosphere ultimately misunderstands its own mythologies. Those Bronze Age stories, more often than not, are not celebrations of heroism but stern warnings about overstep, invitations into humility, and reminders of relationality. So the manosphere misses the mythic point, which is that, in tradition after tradition, there is an understanding that vital energy must be tempered, and rogue men who seek only domination must be brought back into the relational web. Cultures across the world have understood that warrior energy is a real thing, and that it needs initiation and initiatory systems to temper it and transform it from an adolescent vision of domination to a mature vision of kinship and service. To transform this vital energy — this predilection towards intensity — requires more than just discourse that dismisses it entirely. Rather, it requires recognizing the longing that lives at the heart of it, just as it requires a commitment to community, to accountability, to eldership, to initiation, and to accompaniment — every burning step of the way. Featuring interviews with authors Tyson Yunkaporta, Jamie Wheal, and mythopoetic guide Ian McKenzie, and original music from Travis Puntarelli, Rainer Baumorr, and Victor Sakshin, this episode takes us on a journey through the blazing depths of the sour-belly-power in its darkest and most glorious expressions. Play it for your nephews and brothers and sons. And for those bros with enough attention span to make it to the last 30 minutes, there may just be a gift waiting.Support the show

Elanie Ademokun, Programmes Director at Jigsaw Education Group, joins Mark Taylor to unpack one of the most pressing issues facing schools right now: the rise of the "manosphere" and its impact on misogyny, safeguarding, and school culture.Drawing on over 20 years in education — including 11 years teaching English and PSHE in secondary schools, teacher training with Teach First, and safeguarding work with Frontline — Elanie shares what she's hearing directly from schools: shifting attitudes among boys towards female teachers, misogynistic language creeping into corridors, and growing concern from primary schools too, not just secondary.Mark and Elanie explore why this is happening so fast, how algorithms and online "lifestyle coach" influencers exploit adolescent needs for belonging and self-esteem, and why a whole-school, framework-led approach — rather than a reactive one — is essential. They discuss the balance between universal preventative education and targeted, safeguarding-led intervention, why shame and punishment backfire, and how every child needs at least one trusted adult in their corner.This is a thoughtful, practical conversation for teachers, school leaders, and parents navigating a fast-moving cultural issue with real consequences for children's wellbeing.Takeaways:Elanie Ademokun emphasizes the significance of a whole school approach in addressing sensitive topics within the curriculum, particularly in the realms of personal, social, health education, and religious education.The pervasive influence of social media has dramatically shaped the behaviour and perceptions of students, necessitating a proactive response from educators to mitigate its adverse effects.It is vital to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable discussing their experiences and questions regarding complex societal issues like misogyny and digital misinformation.Educators are encouraged to focus on building resilience and critical thinking skills in students, ensuring they are prepared to navigate the challenges posed by contemporary online influences.The importance of fostering strong relationships and communication between teachers and students is highlighted as essential for addressing the nuances of modern educational challenges.Awareness and proactive discussions around sensitive issues must begin early in a child's education to establish a foundation for healthy relationships and self-esteem.Chapters:00:02 - Introducing Elanie Adamokun01:12 - Understanding the Manosphere's Impact on School Culture19:03 - The Importance of Early Awareness and Mentoring in Youth Development23:20 - Navigating Conversations with Children about Social Media33:46 - Building Resilience and Empowerment in Educationhttps://jigsaweducationgroup.com/www.facebook.com/jigsaweducationgroup

Ben Vasiliou is back to chat with me today about boys, men, masculinity, algorithms and, lo 'n' behold, we even throw a lil' politics on the table... very un-Tiff-like indeed, huh! Ben's spent years working with young people and now leads The Man Cave, so he's in the thick of these conversations every single day. And I dare say, I found myself nodding along for most of it. His new book, Better Man, was what prompted me to ask him to come on for this chat about what healthy masculinity actually looks like when we stop looking at it through the loudest voices on the internet... But I reckon this conversation is about way more than men. It's about all of us, really. What happens when we stop trying to win arguments and start getting curious instead. About finding connection in a world that's becoming more divided by the minute.

"Once he gets grey, once he gains a few pounds, God forbid he gets sick — she's out the door like a greased rat out of an aqueduct. And she'll have half his money on the way out." Brian and Alison read a Medium feature on the manosphere, a place where misogyny wears a suit and the influencers are "polished, sham-rich men in Lamborghinis," while playing REPO. Also: which income quintiles the marriage collapse actually reaches, the article author's promise that the fight is against the structure of patriarchy rather than men, and whether that survives finding patriarchy in a man standing on a bridge. "If you can find patriarchy in a man who's about to jump off a bridge — where can you not find it?"

"Feminism is Marxism with extra steps — take out the capitalist, slot in men, with even less evidence than Marx had." Brian and Alison watch Julia Long's Battle of Ideas talk arguing that trans women are the real manosphere, and that she is being pushed out of the movement she helped build. Also: what happens when the framework you spent fifty years building gets applied to you by someone else, why the pornography argument keeps arriving without a connecting sentence, the domestic violence figures nobody reads past the first line, and a frontier on Venus. "None of this has any grounding. It's somebody's drunken ramblings on a napkin. Some woman had a dream once and woke up really upset at her husband."

Join the Theology in the Raw Community on Patreon to listen to our Extra Innings Segment about whether or not you need to be married to truly be masculine. You'll also get bonus episodes, Zoom meet ups, and more! What does it mean to be a man? It's a question that's generating plenty of heat online, but not much clarity. In this first episode of a two-part series on biblical masculinity, Preston sits down with Seth Troutt to separate what Scripture actually teaches from the messages coming from the online manosphere.Before we can have a meaningful conversation about masculinity and femininity, Seth argues that we first need to understand the difference between man and God. From there, the conversation explores what it means to bear God's image as men and women, the role of humility, responsibility, chivalry, provision, and the significance of the real physical differences between the sexes.Seth Troutt is the Teaching Pastor at Ironwood Church in the Phoenix metro area. He holds a doctorate focused on digital technology, Generation Z, and gender identity, and writes and teaches on the intersection of theology, technology, and culture. He's also the author of Authentic Masculinity: Leaving Behind the Counterfeits for God's Design which is available now. Part 2 of this series, featuring Zachary Wagner, releases next week.Time Stamps00:00:00 Introduction00:06:15 What is Biblical Masculinity?00:07:58 What Andrew Tate and the Manosphere get wrong00:14:48 Is Chivalry a calling for men only? 00:16:41 Examples of powerful women from Scripture 00:21:32 Cultural expectations versus scriptural mandates for men and women00:23:45 Physical differences between men and women (and the exceptions)00:25:52 Should men be providers?

Jamie Smith is a Reformed philosopher — one of the first to put a Catholic mystic in the title of a book and then proceed to argue that it was the contemplative tradition that brought him back to a flourishing form of faith on the far side of a series of nerdy dead ends. Make Your Home in the Luminous Dark is his most personal and, I would argue, most beautiful book. It began the day, more than a decade ago, when Jamie was in the depths of a severe depression his analytical philosophical training could not think its way out of, and his wife came home from a garage sale with a battered used copy of The Dark Night of the Soul and told him he should read it. What that began — St. John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart, Merton — is what this book bears witness to. It is a book about the mystics saving Jamie's faith. It is also a Reformed philosopher's argument that the cultural liturgies project he is best known for needs a prior undoing before its formative work can do anything at all. As I told Jamie in the hour, this is a book that made me feel uncomfortable about how much I enjoyed it. We covered the apophatic/cataphatic distinction with the twist Jamie puts on it, the way certainty is still Cartesian even when it calls itself pious, the trad-wife/manosphere as snorting modernity while claiming to have escaped it, Charles Taylor's Cosmic Connections as the real sequel to A Secular Age, and what to do when Distraction Inc. has fully occupied the inner room. The platform is the plantation. Come sit with this one and check out the book. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube About our guest Dr. James K.A. Smith is Professor of Philosophy at Calvin University in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he holds the Gary and Henrietta Byker Chair in Applied Reformed Theology and Worldview. He earned his PhD at Villanova University under John D. Caputo. He served as editor of Comment magazine (2013–2018) and as editor-in-chief of Imagejournal (2019–2024). His new book is Make Your Home in the Luminous Dark. His previous books include the Cultural Liturgies trilogy — Desiring the Kingdom, Imagining the Kingdom, and Awaiting the King — as well as You Are What You Love: The Spiritual Power of Habit, How (Not) to Be Secular: Reading Charles Taylor, On the Road with Saint Augustine, How to Inhabit Time, and his early philosophical work Speech and Theology. He writes at Quid Amo on Substack. ⁠JOIN OUR OPEN ONLINE CLASS: The Empire Christ Couldn't Keep⁠⁠ Ever notice how Christian nationalism gets talked about like it's some bizarre new glitch in the faith? It isn't — it's a 2,000-year-old arrangement wearing new clothes, and once you see how the pattern works, you can also spot the Christ who keeps slipping free of it. Join theologian Joerg Rieger and Tripp Fuller for The Christ Empire Couldn't Keep, a free six-week online class tracing the holy alliances, imperial creeds, and stubborn resistance that have shaped Christianity from Paul to the present. You'll get six lectures from Joerg, six live Q&As, weekly readings from his book Christ and Empire, and a community of fellow troublemakers thinking it through together.

This episode was originally published in September 2024. In July 2026 Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Florida and are currently detained, awaiting extradition to the UK on charges of rape, human trafficking and sexual exploitation. In 2019, before Andrew Tate became the household name he is today, documentary makers Matt Shea and Jamie Tahsin decided to tell Tate's story and investigate his social media influence and cultural impact. Much to their surprise, the 'king of toxic masculinity' allowed them into his world. But as they delved deeper into his empire and uncovered the sources of his income, their investigation soon turned into a criminal one and something much bigger than Shea and Tahsin could ever have imagined.In their new book, Clown World: Four Years Inside Andrew Tate's Manosphere, they recount their investigation into the former kickboxer, the shocking allegations made against him, and the backlash they faced from Tate and his followers when their documentaries aired.In the first of two episodes on Andrew Tate's toxic world, co-author Matt Shea talks to Bernice Harrison about Tate's background and the influence of his narcissistic father, American chess player Emory Tate. He also examines Tate's mass appeal and the space he occupies within the ‘manosphere'. Shea details his visit to Tate's compound in Romania and explains what happened inside the private ‘War Room' event, which followers of Tate paid five thousand pounds to attend. Though they were granted access to film the exclusive gathering, their relationship with Tate didn't last long. Clown World: Four Years Inside Andrew Tate's Manosphere is out now. Hosted on Acast.

This episode was originally published in September 2024. In July 2026 Andrew and Tristan Tate were arrested in Florida. They are currently detained in prison, awaiting extradition to the UK on charges of rape, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.In the summer of 2022, journalists Matt Shea and Jamie Tahsin were in Romania filming a documentary about Andrew Tate and his social media influence. Tate, who had made a name for himself spouting misogynistic content online appeared invincible, but his empire was about to crumble. As concern about his content began to mount, the controversial influencer was banned from Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for violating community guidelines on dangerous individuals and hate speech. But a social media ban was the least of his problems. Back home in London, as Shea and Tahsin continued their investigation into Tate and his business operations, the sinister truth about his webcam industry and his ‘War Room' began to reveal itself. In June 2023, Tate and his brother Tristan, along with two Romanian women were formally charged with rape, sex trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women. He is currently under house arrest in his compound in Bucharest. In this episode, (part two), Shea tells Bernice Harrison about the women from Tate's past who decided to speak out against him and how his fans have reacted to his latest string of charges.

A big chunk of the self-help and wellness industry runs on some core messages: you are not good enough and you need to be fixed, improved, and optimized. We disagree and hope this element of recreation (and re-creation) helps you brush off some of those false messages and return to what is already good and resilient in you.  This is also one of the three months per year (April, August, and December), where we tap more into our rest and activity cycles by doing less and nourishing more. With that in mind, we'll play some encore episodes that will help you tap into play, rest, and nourish. We'll be back September 1 with new episodes!   About: The Joy Lab Podcast is an Ambie-nominated podcast that blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, anxiety, and depression.

A: Because we've been sold the message that rest is laziness and optimization is a moral win. This episode names that cultural conditioning directly, explains the biological necessity of rest and activity cycles, and reframes play as a genuine act of wellness and even resistance.   Q: What does play actually look like for adults and why does it matter for mental health? A: This episode introduces phantasmagoria, flow, and self-forgetfulness as frameworks for understanding why play is not optional. Play helps dissolves self-monitoring, reduces stress, builds resilience and empathy, and reconnects us to intrinsic motivation. One practical strategy is to play for just two minutes per day, no devices, doing something that was fun when you were a kid.   Key moments: [00:00] Welcome to the Element of Recreation — and the shift to "re-creation," with the hyphen intentional [00:30] Joy Lab's ease-phase rhythm: August, December, April — doing less, nourishing more, honoring cycles of rest and activity [01:30] Henry: we treat bodies and minds like machines that should run at peak capacity all the time [02:00] Nature runs on rhythms — seasons, tides, circadian cycles, hormone cycles — and so do we [03:30] We were taught that resting is laziness, that not optimizing is wasting time — and it's exhausting and eventually counterproductive [04:00] When we honor natural rhythms and take real breaks, energy and creativity return [05:00] Re-creation as coming back to our foundation — no additional fixes needed; goodness is already here [05:30] The wellness industry's relentless optimization is built on a "tiny blueprint" — a marketable version of you designed to sell products. It only works if you believe you're a product, not a person [07:00] Henry: the trillion-dollar self-help industry thrives on one message — you are not good enough [07:30] The impossible standard: lose weight but have you optimized your BMI? Improve habits but have you perfected your sleep routine? [08:00] Rooted in shame and self-rejection — the core message being "you're not okay as you are"  [09:30] Roger Abrahams: we've turned building a self into a kind of religion — self-possession, self-fashioning, self-expression as sacred moral acts [11:00] Henry: authentic self-creation vs. creating a self for external approval — the difference that matters [12:00] For marginalized communities, the pull to conform is especially strong — stepping back from optimization as an act of resistance [13:30] Aimee introduces phantasmagoria — a concept from play researcher Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith [14:00] How kids play in wild, imaginative, sometimes dark ways — and why it's usually normal, not a red flag [17:30] Why kids do this: to deconstruct reality, work through feelings, explore what's unfair or scary in a complex world [18:00] Sutton-Smith and Derrida: if the world is a text, play is our response — we are both audience and co-author [18:30] Phantasmagoria as processing strategy: supports psychological resilience, empathy, curiosity, critical thinking [19:30] Dr. Fred Donaldson: "Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play, children learn how to learn." [20:00] Adults do the same — we've licensed phantasmagoria into tiny socially acceptable pockets: Halloween, Burning Man, horror movies, fandom [20:30] When play is so rare, those pockets can get extreme — we need to bring play back into daily life in healthy amounts [21:00] Carl Jung: "The small child is still around and possesses a creative life which I lack, but how can I make my way to it?" [22:00] Play ideas: gardening, LARPing, woodworking, art, acting, board games, writing, cooking, music, sports with less attachment to winning [22:30] Starting question: what's one way of playing from your childhood that if you tried for two minutes today would offer some recreation? [23:30] Henry on what happens when we become adults: we lose permission to play without purpose or imagine without constraints [24:00] The playful mind is resourceful — in play, we access parts of the brain that don't activate during striving or self-judgment — not a waste of time; accessing our deepest capacities  [26:00] Re-creation is mostly social — not solitary self-optimization but self-forgetfulness and connecting [26:30] Self-forgetfulness (Ep. 270): looking up from negative preoccupation with self, going beyond ourselves [ADD LINK] [27:00] Dr. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's flow: loss of self-consciousness, forgetfulness of other realities — the adult version of play [27:30] Playfulness research on adults: higher purpose in life, positive relations, resilience, more positive emotions — even when adults are forced to play [28:30] The practice: two minutes per day, no devices, authoring your own experience [29:00] Then make it a little more social: invite a friend, shoot baskets in a public park, join a club [31:30] Henry: what happens when you're truly at play — you stop thinking about yourself; the inner critic quiets, anxiety settles, you're just present   [35:00] Check in after playing: how do you feel emotionally, cognitively, physically? Identify what nourishes you [35:30] This month: replay of key past episodes; Joy Lab Program members get weekly short visualization and meditation experiments [36:00] Closing wisdom from Carl Jung: "The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect, but by the play instinct..."    Like and follow Joy Lab on Socials:  Instagram Linkedin Facebook YouTube   Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

This week Jac is taking you on a very niche deep dive, so buckle up. We're going all the way down the manosphere rabbit hole via a “hot” viral bakery owner from Phoenix and it's a wild ride. Plus updates on the current D4VD hearings happening this week.

Looksmaxxing. It's a term that's started to pop up everywhere, made popular by social media personalities like Braden Eric Peters, also known as "Clavicular." And as it's started to bleed into our common parlance, you can pretty much "-maxx" anything these days, as the concept turns into a kind of joke. But the normalization of the term hides a darker and dangerous connection to the ideas surrounding the phenomenon.   Host Maria Kestane speaks with Dr. Jordan Foster, an assistant sociology professor at MacEwan University, about the "looksmaxxing" phenomenon, what it means, how it's grown in popularity, and what it means for men's sense of themselves.  We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

Australia's early settlements were radical experiments in almost exclusively male societies. Their impact is still felt today.

Andrew Tate just got arrested, and in this episode of The Unapologetic Man Podcast, host Mark Sing uses it to dig into something much bigger: what's really broken in the manosphere, where feminism went too far, and why the loudest voices on both sides are the ones worth trusting the least.  Mark breaks down why guys like Tate end up as the face of the "red pill," shares why he walked away from being featured in Louis Theroux's documentary Inside the Manosphere, and tells a personal story about being judged and hated on in his own neighborhood, and what choosing love over ego actually looks like. Whether you're deep in the red pill world, skeptical of it, or just tired of watching men and women get pitted against each other online, this episode will give you a lot to think about. Key Takeaways: - Why Andrew Tate's arrest is bigger than Andrew Tate - The difference between real masculinity and the toxic side of the manosphere - Behind the scenes of Louis Theroux's "Inside the Manosphere" documentary - Why extremism on both the feminist and red pill sides holds zero water - A personal story on choosing love over ego when someone judges you unfairly Key Timestamps: [00:00:00] – Episode Intro  [00:00:39] – Andrew Tate's arrest and why it's bigger than him  [00:02:20] – The Manosphere, the Red Pill, and being a counterbalance to the extremes [00:04:52] – Inside Louis Theroux's documentary: why Mark walked away, and the Myron Gaines example  [00:08:56] – "Toxic masculinity," the feminism movement, and extremism on both sides [00:11:20] – Why everyone has value: Epstein, Diddy, Tate, and the evolution of consciousness  [00:13:56] – What the Red Pill actually means (and doesn't)  [00:15:02] – A personal story: the neighbor who wouldn't give Mark a chance  [00:21:05] – Choosing love over ego [00:23:33] – Episode Outro  Connect With Mark: Apply for Mark's 3-Month Coaching Program: https://coachmarksing.com/coaching/ Check Out The Perks Program: https://coachmarksing.com/perks/ Email: CoachMarkSing@Gmail.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmarksing/ Grab Mark's Free Program: The Approach Formula - https://www.CoachMarkSing.com/The-Approach-Formula About The Unapologetic Man Podcast The Unapologetic Man Podcast is your resource for mastering dating, attraction, and relationships from a confident, masculine perspective.

The TRUTH About the Manosphere, Toxic Masculinity, and True Masculine LeadershipWelcome back lovers! In this spicy and deeply raw episode of Sex, Love and Everything In Between, we are unpacking the cultural phenomenon of the "Manosphere" and the modern crisis of toxic masculinity.After watching a recent documentary on the topic, we had to take the conversation to the mics. We explore the stark difference between immature, fear-based control and mature, service-led masculine leadership. Why are so many men terrified of vulnerability? Why does our culture push the narrative that it isn't safe for men to feel?We dive deep into the psychology of the "little boy" searching for his father's validation through money, status, and control, and how this spiritual dehydration is impacting relationships, women, and the next generation of young boys. Most importantly, Jacob shares his profound insights from men's work, highlighting the incredible healing power of emotional safety, brotherhood, and bringing deep presence back into the home.If you are a man wanting to step into your true power, a woman desiring deep leadership in partnership, or a parent raising boys in today's world—this episode is for you.What We Cover:The dangerous illusion of the "Manosphere" and red-pill culture.True masculine leadership vs. dictatorship in relationships.Why suppressing emotions destroys intimacy and true connection.The deep "spiritual dehydration" driving the pursuit of money, cars, and status.How fathers can protect young boys and heal the culture by simply being present.Let's Connect! If you loved this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your lover or friends.Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways:[00:00 - 03:00] Intro & Catching Up: Jacob and Meg check in from "cloud nine," talking about their current spiritual era, before diving into the heavy topic of the day: the manosphere and toxic masculinity.[03:00 - 07:00] The Illusion of Leadership: Meg breaks down a triggering quote from the manosphere, explaining why a man acting like a "dictator" is not the true masculine leadership that women actually yearn for. Mature leadership is in service to a partner's nervous system.[07:00 - 11:30] Leading with Fear vs. Connection: Jacob explains how the inability to be vulnerable causes men to lead with fear and control. We discuss the lack of relational attunement and the "frenetic feminine energy" of constantly needing to be stimulated.[11:30 - 17:30] The Myth of the Stoic Man: Should men hide their emotions from their partners? Jacob explains the difference between emotional dumping and true emotional containment. We discuss the vital importance of men having a safe brotherhood to process decades of pain so they can bring tenderness back to their relationships.[17:30 - 24:00] Terrified of Love & The "Daddy" Wound: Jacob dissects how a lack of emotional safety leads men to chase material wealth, cars, and status. We explore how these outward displays of dominance are often just a wounded little boy begging for a father's validation and attention.[24:00 - 35:00] Changing the Culture of Men: How do we shift away from this? It starts with presence. Jacob shares beautiful stories from his men's work retreats and everyday life, emphasizing that men don't need to be hardened—they need to be seen, held, and allowed to have emotional range.[35:00 - 45:30] Protecting the Next Generation: The conversation turns to parenting. Meg and Jacob discuss the critical role of the father's presence in the home to protect the innocence of young boys. Why true success isn't about working yourself to the bone for material things, but serving at the "sacred altar" of your dinner table.[45:30 - End] Outro & Call to Action: Final thoughts on finding freedom in connection rather than consumption.

If you've ever found yourself scrolling through social media, wondering if we are somehow slipping backward into the dark ages of workplace dynamics, you are definitely not alone. It is easy to look at the massive rise of toxic online ecosystems and feel a bit of existential dread. That is why I talked with Robert Baker, who always grounds me. He has this incredible gift for taking a heavy, whack-a-mole topic and infusing it with actionable clarity. We dive deep into why male allyship isn't about being an individual superhero, how global shifts are impacting our teams, and why—despite the algorithmic headwinds—there is still so much room for hope and real human connection. Key Themes From Our Conversation The Evolution of the Manosphere and Its Workplace Impact: We unpacked the troubling rise of the "manosphere"—an online ecosystem of influencers exploiting young men's loneliness to promote dominance and misogyny. Robert noted how this spills directly into the attitudes of the next generation entering our workforce. "I can't believe that people think these men are heroes, because basically what they're doing is they're exploiting the loneliness, the misery that younger boys and men can have. And these guys have kind of filled the vacuum with this misogyny." — Robert Baker The Power of Community Over Individual Heroism: True allyship isn't about being a lone savior; it's about creating a culture of positive peer pressure and shared community standards where calling out exclusionary behavior doesn't feel like a dangerous, solo mission. "I think creating an environment where you say, look, here are the standards of behavior in our community, and police it in a way. Using those standards to make sure that we all stick to something very positive." — Robert Baker The Business Imperative of DEI in Europe: While the U.S. landscape faces its own unique hurdles, European organizations continue to lean heavily into diversity and inclusion goals. This isn't just about compliance; it's driven by a firm understanding that diverse teams deliver better performance and innovation. "Europe still believes in this. I think many companies in Europe still believe in it, but they believe in it for business reasons, because they believe that they're going to get better team performance, they think diverse teams are better." — Robert Baker Mitigating Algorithmic Bias and Ensuring Equitable AI Access: Artificial intelligence is a major inflection point for gender equity. Leaders must actively step up to manage inherent data biases and ensure that access to exciting tech developments isn't monopolized by the traditional majority. "Certainly I'm seeing an even greater recognition that leaders need to enable equitable access to AI tools, and also make sure that the systems and the processes that are used within the company that uses AI create fair outcomes." — Robert Baker Actionable Takeaway for Listeners  Create Positive Peer Pressure: Don't try to be a lone hero. Focus on building a community within your organization that establishes clear, respectful standards of behavior. By normalizing everyday micro-interventions collectively—like speaking up when someone is talked over in a meeting—you make inclusion the default system rather than an individual burden.

David Rothkopf joins Joanna Coles to discuss Donald Trump's awkward World Cup appearance. A moment complete with loud boos and a bewildered walk across the championship stage, sparks a broader conversation about a president increasingly disconnected from reality at home and abroad. They examine Trump's rambling public appearances, the mounting toll of his foreign policy decisions, and why his critics argue his presidency is becoming defined by ego, chaos, and an alarming lack of empathy. David and Joanna delve into the growing influence of the “Manosphere” inside MAGA, the arrest of Andrew and Tristan Tate, the administration's controversial priorities, and what they reveal about the culture surrounding Trump. From E. Jean Carroll collecting her judgment to fears over election integrity, international legal exposure, and the expanding web of political corruption, they connect the week's biggest stories into a sobering portrait of an administration consumed by loyalty, image, and self-preservation—and explain why the consequences of today's headlines may be felt long after Trump's presidency comes to an end.

John addresses the troubling saga of the Tate brothers, who face serious legal charges including human trafficking and sexual assault. He dissects the toxic influence they wield over the 'manosphere' and the alarming normalization of their misogynistic rhetoric in certain circles. Then, he welcomes back Glenn Kirschner who shares his insights on the ongoing failures of law enforcement accountability, particularly regarding ICE and federal investigations. They discuss the dire consequences of allowing agencies to investigate their own misconduct and the importance of independent oversight in restoring public trust. Next, john speaks with Greg Garrett who is an award-winning professor at Baylor University. They talk about his new book "White Lies: Confronting 10 Cultural Myths About Race." Dr. Garrett reveals how deeply ingrained myths shape our understanding of race and justice in America, while emphasizing the importance of confronting these stories to foster genuine reconciliation. Then finally, comedians Rhonda Hansome and Keith Price join the crew. They tackle the backlash against diverse casting and the ridiculousness of those who cling to outdated notions of race and identity. They explore the complexities of immigration, the hypocrisy of those who benefit from undocumented labor, and the need for compassion over hatred in political discourse.
