Welcome back to a new season of Modern Manhood. Where we will look at the history of men's movements starting from the 1900's all the way to now in 2022. Episode 1 will drop tomorrow Oct 16th.

Hello everyone! Welcome to a new season of Modern Manhood, where we're going to go through important sections of history and talk about the men's movements that were important during those times. However before we do that, I wanted to share a discussion I did back in April with the awesome people in Reddit's Men's Lib. There's a lot of people who joined and asked questions which not only talks about the history of the men's movement, but of masculinity in it's own modern discourse. It was a great discussion and I hope you enjoy it.

On Today's Cold Takes we talk about what the hell is going on in the US and now in Canada about the "discourse" around drag shows. Why is everyone upset at them all of sudden? And why is it important to keep vigilant. Plus we also talk about sports and why cheering for any type of sports can seem like a non ethical breach.

Today we are joined by Samantha Nzessi and Remoy Philip to do an an emergency Cold Takes to talk about Jerrod Carmichael's special "Rothanial" where he breaks down his vulnerabilities in a unique and special way. CW: We spoil the special, so make sure you watch it before you listen, but please watch it because it's great.

Today we're going to release some of the content that we didn't get a chance to release when the season finished. In the coming episodes we have full interviews with the people in the show that maybe showed up for a song and a dance, or didn't show up at all, not because they were not good interviews, just because we couldn't fit them into the narrative. Dr John Rich is an educational psychologist, professor, and d certified parenting coach. As well as a father of two teenage sons. And in this episode we talk about child development through his eyes. You can check out his stuff at drjohnrich.com Enjoy!

In the last episode of the second season of Modern Manhood, I wanted to know and understand what it would be like for young men right now graduating and going off into the world. By looking back at other people's experience of being 18. With guests, Jake Stika, Jonathan Reed, Trevor Mayoh from Next Gen Men, and one of our producers Samantha Nzessi.

Today on Cold Takes recorded on November 18th, 2021. We celebrate Next Gen Men's birthday! As well as our shows are winding down, we look back on what was and what has been recording Modern Manhood Season 2 and Oreja Peluda. We reflect on the questions we wanted to ask, to the themes and topics maybe we wanted to delve into a little further. We discuss race and gender types as well look further to find out what is in store for the future of masculinity media, including our own shows.

No body that I know had a good first Sex Ed talk. How did we as a society mess this up so much? How did we take a very fundamental part of human life, our sexuality, and teach it like we were scared of it. Or treat it like a side dressing when in many cases it’s the main meal. This is especially true for young men, who at about the age of 10 are starting to think about their own sexuality. We break this down with experts Shafia Zaloom and Dr David Bell.

The MetGala happened and we saw the looks the controversy, the dresses and the styles. Looking at this event, it reminds us of the conversations we had in the Inner Circle about fashion, about pink shoes, and dresses, and maybe how men's fashion (and fashion in general) can be restrictive. Or is it? What makes it restrictive? Is this a fashion problem or a men's problem? Or both? Let's dig in to the controversies (AOC, Cara Delavigne), the fashion, and the world around us.

The last few episodes of Modern Manhood has focused a lot around how young children are. So I knew to make these last few episodes we had to get a lot of the voices of parents, people who are excited to be expecting children, or are in the midst of parenting. And of course they had some amazing insights, and we got a lot of tape. So much so that we had to cut a lot of it for our main episodes, but I knew it was too good to never be revealed. So this an episode all about some of the amazing pieces of knowledge like co-parenting, online life, gay couples parenting, and the age old question, do I even want kids?
