Can a Dutch braid dethrone toxic bro culture? Or is it just the gateway drug to glitter and justice?
This week on Radical Joy, we braid truth, comedy, and combat boots with Jonathan Greg—a stand-up dad who smokes meat, styles ponytails, and isn’t afraid to throw hands at hate.
🎯 From bottles of bourbon to braids and backlash, Jonathan proves modern masculinity comes with a side of sass and a perfectly winged eyeliner.
💅 Manicures and masculinity: Why Jonathan says you can't spell "man" without "manicure"
🤣 Hair today, hero tomorrow—how one dad’s braid battle with Miss Yolanda sparked a social media saga
🍸 Bourbon, branding, and being very, very hungover with Terry Bradshaw
👊 Paint nails, punch Nazis: the merch line, the mindset, the mic drop
🎭 Stand-up to stand-out: how quitting acting led to 10k followers overnight
🧃 Juice boxes and justice—Jonathan's take on toxic masculinity, toddler tantrums, and tender parenting
🥄"Sometimes you just need to be the little spoon." (And maybe cry a little while grilling ribs.)
🧠 Therapy, throwdowns, and that time he turned his feelings into fatherhood fuel
🎙 A podcast in the making? Jonathan spills on maybe-might-be plans to bring his voice to the mic
🔥 Lashes, labels, and low-stakes beef—what happens when your face goes viral for doing nothing
If you’ve ever questioned whether masculinity can coexist with manicures—or wondered if your lawn looks better than your parenting—this episode’s your permission slip to grow out of the box you were handed.
🎧 Hit play to laugh, unlearn, and maybe cry into your bourbon a little. Then send this to your favorite soft-hearted, steel-spined dad.
