In this episode, hosts Mike and Nate begin by enjoying a budget-friendly but flavorful New World Navegante Robusto cigar from AJ Fernandez, paired with Castle Danger beer and Crown Royal whiskey. Their relaxed cigar chat sets the stage for a deep dive into contemporary issues facing men, inspired by their recent read: #MenToo by Bettina Arndt.

They explore the complex dynamics around domestic violence statistics, highlighting the distinction between reported prosecutions (mostly men) versus actual incidents (more evenly split). The hosts discuss controversial topics such as biases in legal systems, societal expectations of men, and the impact of the #MeToo movement on male behavior and workplace interactions. The conversation delves into feminist critiques, men’s rights advocacy, and the nuanced realities of modern dating, family life, and masculine identity.

Throughout, they reflect on Australian cultural specifics as presented in the book, compare stats and social trends to U.S. experiences, and recommend the documentary The Red Pill as a complementary resource. They also touch on the challenges men face in relationships, divorce, and retirement, discussing the economic and social consequences that disproportionately affect men.

The episode wraps up with candid thoughts on navigating today’s social and political climates as men, urging listeners to stay informed, cautious, and open to dialogue. Finally, they give their cigar a strong endorsement for quality and value, recommending it enthusiastically to fellow smokers.
