Obama is back on the campaign trail, Jay-Z is headed to the Super Bowl, and your next AI assistant might be listening from your necklace.

OPEN SEASON
• Obama and the midterms: campaign closer or another round of political theater?
• Masculinity under the microscope: competitiveness, self-control, risk-taking, and where useful traits become harmful behavior.
• Jay-Z's confirmed Super Bowl halftime show: can the headliner escape the Beyoncé guest speculation?
• AI wearables: helpful memory tools, recording controls, and whether everyone around you agreed to be recorded.

MAN COURT: THE SOFTENED SON
An eight-year-old's roughhousing sparks a parenting dispute. The Freak Jury weighs in.

TJ Michaels and Jon Stacy are back for Season 6, Episode 4 of the Alpha Men Podcast. On the planned October 20 lineup: • Open Season: voting for a candidate or against the other side; the midlife-crisis starter pack; NFL penalties, replay, and confusing rules; and the hype around Tesla’s Roadster and flying-car ideas. • Man Court: ‘The Recliner Recluse vs. The Honey-Do Abuse’—does a four-page weekend project list make a husband the unpaid maintenance department? • Let’s Start Some Trouble: what could your significant other talk about so much that even a kidnapper brings them back? • Mansplaining the News, Jon’s Random Facts, Real or Fake News, the Red Foreman Awards, and The Last Shot. Join the Freak Jury: weigh in on the debates and send your Man Court dilemmas through the show’s social pages. Live Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 8 PM Eastern. Adult comedy, strong language, and opinions. Pre-show draft based on TJ’s script. Final audio and description will be checked against what actually airs before publication.

TJ Michaels and Jon Stacy put grocery bills, “real men,” NFL flags and AI jobs in the crosshairs. Apparently, fixing a truck and surviving a marriage both require the right tools—and neither comes with a useful manual.

Season 6, Episode 3 also makes room for something bigger than an argument: Pack the Pantry’s 25th anniversary. Liam and Randy join the conversation about the community food drive, the website, collection kits and neighbors helping neighbors.

OPEN SEASON
• Do living costs decide elections, or do culture-war issues still drive the vote?
• Does working with your hands make you more of a “real man” than a desk job?
• Is the NFL protecting its players or throwing too many flags?
• Will AI open doors for workers—or close the ones they built careers on?

MAN COURT
A husband asks whether “I’m just being honest” has become a free pass to criticize everything he does. The Freak Jury weighs in, and the hosts discover the case sounds a little too familiar.

Plus: Halloween costume talk, Mansplaining the News, Jon’s Random Facts, Real or Fake News, the Red Foreman Awards and The Last Shot.

Pick your side: what makes a man dependable—his job, his practical skills or how he treats people? Tell us on the Alpha Men Podcast Facebook Page, and send your own Man Court dilemma.

This week on the Alpha Men Podcast, Jon and TJ take aim at four topics guaranteed to start an argument:

Is the war in Iran what’s driving gas prices, or do Biden-era energy policies, green regulations, and the oil companies deserve some blame? Is Irritable Male Syndrome real, or just the scientific name for entering the “GET OFF MY LAWN” years? Have safe spaces and constant emotional protection made people less resilient? And after years of TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and endless scrolling, have we completely cooked our attention spans?

Plus:

🔥 Mansplaining the News — wombat poop, AI in the workplace, vaping logic, Hollywood, and the usual stories nobody asked us to explain.

🤯 Jon’s Random Facts — royal toilet servants, circus connections, and the good old days when you could apparently order dynamite from Sears.

⚖️ Man Court — Jeff comes home and discovers his blonde wife has suddenly gone brunette without consulting him. Is she guilty of an Unauthorized Hair Regime Change, or does Jeff need to quit pouting in the He Shed? The Freak Jury decides.

📰 Real or Fake News — four ridiculous headlines, but only one is actually real.

🥾 The Red Foreman Awards — cheesesteak assault, a motorcycle emergency involving McDonald’s breakfast, AI-assisted bad decisions, a Pokémon-card tracker, and thieves who thought they stole millions in AI chips only to discover 40,000 pounds of sand.

Then we close with The Last Shot: the one thing from the show that made us laugh, think, get pissed off, or wonder how humanity made it this far.

⚠️ Explicit language, adult humor, bad decisions, strong opinions, and absolutely no participation trophies.
