Summary
As Memorial Day approaches, there's no better time to have a brutally honest conversation about what it means to be a man in America today and why that question has never mattered more. From the assault on boyhood to the spiritual warfare playing out in our homes, our military, and our culture, someone has to name what's really happening. Today, we do exactly that.
I'm joined by former Marine Recon, Chad Robichaux and, today we cover everything from the manufactured collapse of masculinity to what our military is facing in a post-COVID world, what real leadership looks like, and why faith (not politics) is the only thing that holds when everything else falls apart. Whether you're a veteran, a father, or a man trying to figure out where you stand, this one's for you.

| 0:00.0 | Men, as Memorial Day approaches, I don't think there's really a better time to have a very real and frank conversation about what it means to be a man in America today. |
| 0:09.8 | And why that question has, in my mind, never mattered more. From the assault on boyhood to the spiritual warfare that's being played out in our homes and our communities, our military, |
| 0:22.3 | just our culture in general, someone has to name what's really happening. And today, |
| 0:27.8 | we do exactly that. I'm joined by former Marine Recon, Chad Robeshaw, and we cover everything |
| 0:34.1 | from the manufactured collapse of masculinity to what our military is facing in this post-COVID world, which we're still feeling the fall out from. |
| 0:45.5 | What real leadership actually looks like and why faith, not politics, is the only thing that holds when everything else falls apart. So whether you're a veteran or a |
| 0:56.8 | father or just a man trying to figure out where you stand, this one, guys, is for you. |

| 1:37.4 | and he did not disappoint. I'm very excited to get into this one. Obviously, Memorial Day is |
| 1:42.3 | fast approaching. Very excited about that. And one thing that |
| 1:46.1 | stands out to me is especially during Veterans Day, Memorial Day, these types of things, is |
| 1:51.2 | companies that support America. And I want to just do a shout out as I do every week about our |
| 1:58.0 | sponsors over at Montana Knife Company. Now, I get to go spend a little time |
| 2:03.0 | with them later this month, just around Memorial Day, and I can tell you with their new facility, |
| 2:07.7 | there is no company out there doing better work than Montana Knife Company in the realm of |
| 2:14.2 | bringing back American manufacturing. So if you support America, you believe in |
