The Manly Deeds Podcast

This week, the fellas cover a little bit of everything—from impersonators, clout chasing, and the strange things people do for attention. The conversation takes a hilarious turn as they debate whether imitation is really the highest form of flattery or if some people are just making another person's identity their entire personality.

Talks about getting older, being mistaken for someone you're not, beard struggles, receding hairlines, and the realities of embracing the next phase of life.

The jokes are nonstop, the stories are relatable, and somehow, a conversation about TV ends with a debate about beard transplants in Turkey.

Lessons learned: Figure it out before you get ears deep. If you can't cut the mustard, at least lick the jar.

This week, we're talking everything from Kevin Hart’s roast and modern comedy culture to sneakerheads, luxury fashion, and why everybody today seems obsessed with being “in the mix.”

The difference between people who genuinely love a culture versus people chasing trends for validation. From $300 AP watches and designer clothes to sports, sneakers, and social media influence.

Funny, real, and unfiltered — this episode is one big conversation about authenticity, self-worth, and why standing on who you are matters more than chasing what’s popular.

This week on The Manly Deeds Podcast, we’re having one of the realest conversations we’ve ever had.

We talk about: Where we’ve been, Troy leaving the pod, what the future of Manly Deeds looks like and why every man eventually has to learn how to pivot when life doesn’t go according to plan.

Because setbacks don’t mean the mission is over. Sometimes they’re just part of the process.

This one is bigger than podcasting. It’s about growth, loss, change, brotherhood, and learning how to keep moving forward.

In this episode, Put “It” On the Calendar: How to Keep the Fire Hot When You’re Married with Kids, we talk about the reality of maintaining intimacy once life gets busy with marriage, parenting, and responsibility.

We discuss why waiting for the “right moment” doesn’t work and how being intentional — even scheduling intimacy — can help keep the connection strong between spouses. From there, the conversation expands into merging different parenting styles, learning how to operate as a unified front, and how fatherhood today looks very different from what we grew up seeing.

This episode is an honest look at love, partnership, and parenting — and the intentional effort it takes to keep the spark alive while raising a family.

In this episode, we break down Marriage 101 from a male perspective — what marriage really is, what it requires, and what it takes to make it successful beyond the surface-level advice people usually give. We talk honestly about responsibility, communication, sacrifice, and the daily intentionality that keeps a marriage healthy over time.

We also take a detour into real life as we discuss high gas prices and why we recently made the switch to an electric car — and how practical decisions like this play a role in married life and financial awareness.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be comfortable in your own skin — especially within your friendships.

We unpack the tension between being fully yourself and wondering if you’re sharing too much. Is oversharing a sign of authenticity, or does it create unintended distance in relationships? As men, we don’t always talk about how loud our internal thoughts can be, and how managing those thoughts affects how we show up around the people closest to us.

This conversation dives into self-awareness, emotional boundaries, and learning how to navigate friendships without losing who you are. Because being yourself sounds simple — until you actually try to do it.

Being you in your friendships, oversharing, and managing Internal thoughts

Glow Up vs. Get Back

Michael B. Jordan, Jack Harlow, and the Question-Is Beef Forever?

In this episode of the Manly Deeds Podcast, we dive into a viral moment involving Michael B. Jordan following his Oscar win and his interaction with a reporter who once called him “corny” back in high school. That moment sparks a bigger question: If you had issues with someone growing up, is it something you carry forever—or should success come with letting things go?

We unpack the balance between growth and holding onto past feelings, asking whether old beef expires or just evolves over time.

The conversation then shifts to Jack Harlow’s comments about “getting blacker” and opens up a broader discussion about culture, identity, and the idea of who gets invited to the proverbial “cookout.” Where do we draw the line between appreciation and overstepping?

This episode blends humor, culture, and real-life reflection as we explore grudges, growth, and what it really means to move forward.

In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like living in Charlotte, North Carolina: the growth, the culture, and why the Queen City is buzzing right now.

We also get into the long-standing tension between Northerners and Southerners and why some people from up North look down on the South, and whether those stereotypes actually hold weight. From culture and attitude to lifestyle differences, we break it all down from a Charlotte perspective.

On a lighter note, we talk about our fear of heights and share some hilarious observations about certain out-of-state license plates that “can’t drive” once they hit Southern roads. IYKYK!

This episode blends regional pride, cultural commentary, and everyday humor. This isn't an episode that you'll want to miss.

In this episode, we cover everything from aging as men to the importance of getting your affairs in order before it’s too late.

We kick things off by laughing at ourselves — realizing that playing basketball in our 30s and 40s is not the same as it was in our 20s. The recovery time is longer, the knees talk back, and pride can get you hurt. From there, we share some hilarious (and slightly embarrassing) stories about experimenting with male enhancement supplements and what that taught us about ego, health, and expectations.

But underneath the humor is a serious message: as men, we have to take responsibility for our health and our legacy. That means doctor visits. That means estate planning. That means making sure our families aren’t left scrambling if something happens to us.

Growing older isn’t just about slowing down — it’s about getting wise. This episode is funny, honest, and necessary. Because handling your business now is one of the greatest gifts you can leave behind.

Get Your Affairs in Order | Manly Deeds Podcast Ep. 176

Hooping , Male Enhancements, & Final Will and Testament

Men are expected to provide. To protect. To lead. To carry. We show up for our families, our jobs, our communities — but rarely stop to ask who is showing up for us. What happens when the caretaker never gets cared for?

This episode dives into the emotional weight men carry silently. The pressure to be strong. The expectation to suppress. The guilt that comes with taking time for yourself. We talk about burnout, isolation, and the quiet reality that many men feel exhausted but don’t feel allowed to say it out loud.

This is a vulnerable conversation about responsibility, rest, and redefining strength. Because taking care of everyone else shouldn’t mean losing yourself.
