Hello everybody, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Nicholas Everstad. He's a political

economist, demographer, American Enterprise Institute scholar, and an author. More than 7 million

prime working age men in America are not looking for work, and each year that number continues to grow.

Given that unemployment is at a massive low, why are so many capable men checking out of the

workforce and don't intend on coming back? Expect to learn why massive cohorts of men aren't

looking for employment, the repercussions of mass joblessness, how these men are able to support

themselves, why they spend over 2,000 hours a year on screens while smoking weed, the reason

you haven't heard about this issue before, what it does to men's mental health, the impact of women

being the breadwinners, and much more. This is one of the wildest things that I've learned about

recently, the fact that Nicholas has uncovered this and has been tracking it for quite a while

is phenomenal. It's so interesting, concerning, I think it is endemic and a symptom of what we're seeing

in terms of men's general retreat from society, from dating, from education and employment at the

moment, are really, really fascinating. You're going to love this one. If you do, don't forget to hit
