What happens when a couple of middle-aged dads wander into the outer rings of the Manosphere? In this episode, we meet Paul Bauer, author, life coach, and host of the Come On Man podcast, to discuss red pill culture, relationship dynamics, and the rise of online masculinity movements. Marc and Richard wrestle with ideas of dominance, dead bedrooms, and the whole “captain of the relationship ship” metaphor. Does any of this actually help men in midlife, or is it just reheated alpha-male nonsense with better branding?

Expect:

  • A 10-minute Batman-origin monologue
  • Differing views on hierarchy and partnership
  • One very expensive kitchen refurbishment
  • A call for more penguin-based masculinity

Let us know where you stand – are you the captain, the XO, or a VIP passenger just here for the snacks?
