  • How Do Men Give Love?

    Send us Fan Mail

    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?

  • How Do I Know if My Relationship is Over

    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.

  • How We Objectify Each Other

    Send us Fan Mail

    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.

  • Money and Relationships

    Does money stress you out? It stresses me out. And for that reason, today's episode has a $5 fee. Just pop a check in the mail. I would really appreciate it. Today, Matt, Mike, and Rob break down finances in relationships and share a few get rich quick schemes that will change your life. Fine. That last part isn't true. But we do talk about why finances are an issue for men and for most couples. We'll share some tips and ideas on how to manage it and how to talk about it in your relationship. And Rob recommends his favorite budget software YNAB. You'd think they sponsored the episode. They didn't, but I wouldn't say no if they offered! Listen in. Get rich. Or at least listen in. Free of charge.

  • MANaging Jealousy Around Past and Other Relationships

    Send us Fan Mail

    I put the MAN part on the first word again. I don't want us to forget that we are men and we are everywhere. Or I think I'm cute. Probably number B. Anyway. this week, we miss Matt again as Mike and Rob discuss past relationships and how they come up in our current one. Many couples struggle to manage past relationships and even outside friendships with the opposite sex. Some partners feel jealous or threatened by those relationships and fall into patterns of not talking about it until it becomes a problem. Well guess what, that's not the best approach. Don't worry though, we have the best approach. Or at least some ideas that might be helpful. Grab your partner and dosey-doe...I mean have a listen.
