On today's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob alleviate your paternal guilt. We all go through times when we don't like our kids. But what if you REALLY don't like your kid? I mean, what's wrong with you? It's a kid! How dare you? You should feel terrible. 

OR, you can listen to this episode and see how normal you are. And maybe even hear some things that might help you feel like you can like your kid again. Like, did you know that your influence over your kid drops to below 10% by the time they're 15yo? So, as my friend said, if you're there already, put up your dogs! You're all done!

Okay fine. You're not done yet. But how you interact with your kid has to change. Luckily, we have ALL the answers on how to do that. And my all, I mean we offer a few ideas. You're welcome in advance.

A lot of men try to do good things with good motivations, only to be called insensitive or a jerk. Has that ever happened to you? Well, thankfully, your fellow spacemen are here for you. Matt, Mike, and Rob break down interactions and reframe them. Knowing how to reframe things goes a long way and can really give you a break, not to mention help see your spouse differently. 

For example, you could say, Rob is lazy because he doesn't do REAL show notes. And yes, that is one way of looking at it. OR, you could say, Rob is so busy helping people,  he doesn't have the time to give to show notes and he can't pay to have them done because he has to buy his kid's braces. Poor Rob.

Another option could be, Rob thinks he's so funny, he just has to keep typing irrelevant crap that people either won't read or if they do, will just think Rob is obnoxiously self absorbed. Poor Rob. 

Either way, poor Rob. He's got it really hard. 

See? Wasn't that a helpful exercise? Now you like The Manspace better. Better get out there and preach the good word!

Research shows boys are falling behind, almost across the board. Not just falling behind girls, but falling behind expectations and development. This week gets a little contentious as Mike and Rob argue about what that means as what can be done about it. Thankfully, Matt steps in and provides direction and reason. All Hail Matt! 

Seriously, research shows men are fairing worse than they used to, which has consquences for men, their children, and their families, as well as for women. We talk about how we can move men forward while also moving women and families forward. 

Anchor yourself to The Manspace! Have we ever led you astray? If we have, why haven't you emailed me? We've talked about this; it matters that you speak up. Seriously, send me an email. [email protected].

Sometimes all the ways men show love go unnoticed. Maybe you consistently take out the trash. Or always make sure the car is full of gas. Or, if you're Rob, maybe you make sure you are not infringing on copyright, because creation matters. No matter how you give love, I bet there are times it's not noticed and that sucks. 

On today's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob break down how men give and receive love. There's not always grand gestures, but there is often consistency in the love men offer. I bet you're good at that. Yes, you Spaceman. You gem of a man you. 

And now, Rob does what is now offered to us through AI, cause I'm not going to be taken over by a machine. 

00:35--Mike smoothly welcomes us
03:48--Rob chickens out on playing copyrighted material
45:26--Rob probably makes a bad joke and makes fun of Mike...probably.
52:3..you know what, this is hard. Maybe I should lean into AI. I, for one, welcome our supreme overlords. 

Also, the clip for New Girl is listed here. Look. That's personal attention to detail. We love you spacemen. Now love us back, or else how will we know that we are even?

If you're like me, you LOVE hearing about self care. You probably hear about it so much, you just wish there were more hours in the day so you could hear more people say they are practicing self care. Well good news! On today's episode, the guys talk about what self care is and what it's not. Spoiler alert, a LOT of people are doing it wrong. Self care is not an excuse to avoid something. Self care is work. So put on your work pants and listen in. Let's get CARING!

Picked a bummer topic for this one...Or did we? This week, Matt, Mike, and Rob tackle an oft-asked question--How do I know if my relationship is done. Turns out, the answer isn't as simple as it sounds. And, perhaps not surprisingly, the dudes take a bit of a more gray approach to the topic. There's a lot to know and understand and even work on before you decide the relationship is over. Listen in and get to work.

Alright sheeple, it's time we tell you the truth--you're just numbers to us. Just kidding. We love spacemen. And even though we don't know you all personally, you mean something to us as fellow spacemen and human beings. To prove that, today we are talking about how we objectify each other and how that might damage us as humans. We get all philosophical and talk about how we can start seeing each other as humans worthy of dignity in order to create more connection in our relationships. Listen and stop treating us like objects.

On today's episode, Matt, Mike, and Rob get real deep and philosophical--spiritual even. We talk about the role of faith or spirituality or just something bigger than ourselves can affect us as men. And of course, Matt blows our minds. Does he ever not?
