  Episode #22

  E22: Kid Rock

  Mar 20, 20261h 17mS0

  <p>Drew is the world’s biggest Kid Rock fan and he derailed this episode, which was supposed to be about Kid Rock’s alternative Super Bowl performance and his crazy workout video with RFK, by talking about how much Kid Rock’s early work, culminating in his Woodstock ’99 performance, kicks ass. We also talk about how the right wing’s love of AI slop videos is indicative of their larger worldview and other stuff too. Yuri had such a good time recording this episode that he made a video game that’s like Temple Run but you’re RFK in a pool and...

  Episode #21

  E21: Mankeeping (Feat. Emilie Friedlander)

  Feb 12, 20261h 25mS0

  <p>Is mankeeping a real thing? Is it just a thing that the internet made up as a way to prolong the “male loneliness crisis” discourse? Is it something that Emilie Friedlander did to Drew and Yannick to convince them to start Macho Pod? We recorded this episode over Christmas break but it feels like we recorded it 15 years ago, also I should probably tell you that mankeeping is basically what you call it when your boyfriend only has one friend and it’s you. We spend the end of this episode talking about something completely different that was relevant at the...

  Episode #20

  E20: Scott Adams (R.I.P.)

  Jan 26, 20261h 28mS0

  <p>Scott Adams was not the most extreme person we’ve covered on this podcast, but he was an important figure in the Macho Pod Extended Universe by being almost a bridge figure between the old manosphere and the new. The Dilbert guy was into “first principles”-style tech brain thinking, “just asking questions”-style racism, defending Our Boys Who Are Under Attack, taking ivermectin instead of real medicine, over-earnest sentimentalism in the style of Jordan Peterson, and hypnotism for sexual purposes. We talked about his life and legacy, and also read excerpts from his batshit crazy blog. However weird you think...

  Episode #19

  E19: Bill Ackman

  Dec 8, 20251h 28mS0

  <p>Pop quiz hotshot, who’s the coolest guy. If you answered with any name other than Bill Ackman, you are INCORRECT. This episode is about the coolest guy in the world, who as we have established is Bill Ackman. We try to understand the mindset of the “activist investor,” why people think having a billion dollars makes them uniquely qualified to weigh in on stuff they don’t understand at all, and examine some of the funniest L’s that Bill Ackman has taken in his quest to live up to his name, which he believes stands for “Billionaire Activist Man...

  Episode #18

  E18: Michael Porter Jr.| Brooklyn Nets (Feat. Harry Krinsky and Ock Sportello)

  Nov 28, 20251h 17mS0

  <p>Yuri and Yannick were out for this episode, so Drew got to realize his dream of being an NBA podcaster with the help of harry of Nothing But Respect and ock sportello of Never Hungover. We talked about how Michael Porter Jr. and his brothers are like the Manosphere version of the Ball family, the myriad ways in which the Brooklyn Nets are the most disturbing franchise in the NBA, debate whether or not sports gambling is tight, and Ock tries to figure out which Nets players voted for Cuomo (most of them). </p><p>Macho Pod is hosted...
