12/12/2025
Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa Is it really cringe for women to have boyfriends now? In today's episode, I respond to Vogue's viral article (“Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?”) and explain why the trend against relationships isn't quite as empowered as it seems. Learn how social validation, political ideology, and intrasexual competition shape what women are told to value. The truth is single is not a flex.

Episode 577: Get better (advice for men)

12/8/2025
Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa Telling men to “get better” is vague, moralistic, and (typically) rooted in frameworks that prioritize women's needs and desires. However, men can – and should – get better. In today's episode, I argue that men get better by becoming stronger, richer, and more attractive – as these things might be the closest we get to inherent goods. Ignore the voices pushing weakness and decline. Invest in yourself and watch your world transform. This is my advice for men.

Episode 576: She takes and takes (why he feels used)

12/5/2025
Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa Some men complain to me about their women: “she takes and takes.” However, the real problem in the relationship is that he gives and gives. This is why he feels used. In this episode, I discuss how poor boundaries, emotional discomfort, and scarcity mentality all conspire to make men complicit in their own relational resentment. Cultivate abundance – and the optionality it passively generates – and you'll watch many of these issues disappear.

Episode 575: The ring test (love and business)

12/1/2025
Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa The ring test is one that I would encourage every man seriously considering marriage to conduct, as it will expose a woman's true motivations for wedlock – and your own latent romanticism. Marriage is not about love. Marriage is a business contract that is primarily concerned with the ownership and distribution of resources. Before you propose, ask the only questions that really matter: “Can I afford her?” and “Is she worth it?” In love and business, it's important to be on the same page.

Episode 574: How to find yourself (understanding what you really want)

11/28/2025
Pre-order my new book: https://amzn.to/4oZUgpa Finding yourself is not something that people do, once and for all. This is because we are always in the process of becoming who we are. At these moments of reflection, it's important to know how to find yourself. The key is understanding what you really want and developing the capacity to understand the feedback provided by your emotions when they come into contact with experience. If you fill yourself with activities and relationships that support you emotionally, you can build a life worth living.

Episode 573: Body count (beyond the number)

11/24/2025
Many men obsess over a woman’s “body count.” But the truth is that men will never learn the truth – and what they do learn won't reassure them. In this episode, I discuss why digging into a woman's sexual history is generally not a good idea, and why body count is an imperfect proxy for purity, loyalty, and long-term compatibility. It's time that men move beyond the number.

Episode 572: The love trap (she can't fix you)

11/21/2025
Many men believe that a woman's love will fill the emptiness inside of them – but it can't. This is the love trap. The bitter truth is that you can't feel another person's love. You can only feel your own love coming out of you. Consequently, it's a good idea for men to heal this emptiness on their own – through purpose, faith, and action. She can't fix you.

Episode 571: How relationships work (on value)

11/17/2025
In today's episode, I discuss the fundamental truths with respect to how relationships are created and maintained. It all centers on value. It is neither the good nor the loving nor the virtuous who are desired for relationships, but the people from whom others want things. This is how relationships work.

Episode 570: You can't cheat yourself (understanding self love)

11/14/2025
While you can occasionally trick others, the truth is that you can't cheat yourself. This is why all real growth arises out of discipline and self-love. When people want something more than they want the process of obtaining it, they will be tempted to fraud. However, you can resist this temptation by understanding self love as sacrifice in the service of your goals.

Episode 569: Man up (for the benefit of women)

11/10/2025
Modern culture tells men to “man up” – but not for their own sakes. In today's episode, I expose how society defines masculinity for the benefit of women, and why this does men a disservice. The dominant culture does not want strong, prosperous, masculine men – but it's time for men to reclaim their self-definition.

Episode 568: My new book (why you should read it)

11/7/2025
I'm proud to announce that I've recently completed my new book, Starry Night. Since it's a bit different from my usual fare, I thought I would make an episode on why you should read it. Starry Night is a piece of historical fiction relating the final days of the painter, Vincent van Gogh. Through multiple perspectives, the story explores genius, madness, love, and the tragedy of suicide. It’s a philosophical novel that reveals profound psychological truths through narrative rather than analysis. Deep, emotional, and unforgettable — Starry Night is unlike anything you’ve read before.

Episode 567: If he wanted to (maybe he would)

11/3/2025
A popular meme that is circulating the internet involves women posting videos of men demonstrating uncommon provision and devotion with the caption: “if he wanted to, he would.” The idea here is that women should never accept less than full princess treatment in their romantic relationships. However, there is more to this trope than meets the eye. In today's episode, I discuss some of the surprising motivations behind female crowing. The truth is that if he wanted to, maybe he would – and maybe he shouldn't.

Episode 566: The primary lie (you can't always get what you want)

10/31/2025
The primary lie is responsible for the vast majority of relationship dysfunction and the attendant relationship dysfunction industries, namely: the belief that you can have any relationship with anyone. It turns out you can only have certain relationships with certain people. However, people remain willfully blinded by their hope and their attraction. The truth is Mick was right: you can't always get what you want.

Episode 565: As little as possible (why men need to do the bare minimum)

10/27/2025
Women often complain online about men doing “the bare minimum” when planning and executing dates. In today's episode, I present a number of arguments why it may – in fact – be in men's best interests to do as little as possible, especially early in the courtship process. Besides enabling men to establish sustainable reinforcement protocols, doing as little as possible helps men separate the women who really like them from the women who simply want to use them for their own purposes. This is why men need to do the bare minimum.

Episode 564: Garden tools (how to capture male attention)

10/24/2025
In today's episode, I'll be discussing garden tools – but not the horticultural type. The fact is that hoeish behavior persists on the population level because it works. Women who behave this way know how to capture male attention and resources. That said, while it may not be possible to turn a hoe into a housewife, you can – in fact – turn a housewife into a hoe.

Episode 563: The prison planet (the nature of existence)

10/20/2025
In honor of my father's 75th birthday, I'm going to talk about one of his favorite concepts: the prison planet. Once you accept the fundamental premise of this model, a great deal of human suffering – past and present – begins to make sense. People exist in various degrees of unfreedom, and no one quite remembers how this happened. By understanding the nature of existence, we can make better choices with respect to our time on the inside.

Episode 562: Bait your hook (how will you be used?)

10/17/2025
If you're fishing for relationships, you have to bait your hook – because fish don't bite steel. Of course, this runs the risk of being exploited for your bait. However, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of this occurring with a little common sense. Just remember that you can't dictate what fish are supposed to like. Bait your hook appropriately and you'll never be at a loss for food. The only question you have to ask yourself is: how will you be used?

Episode 561: The spark (dating for feels)

10/13/2025
Many young people are in search of the spark: a certain quickening of the blood that supposedly indicates that they've found “the one.” However, dating for feels generally only makes any sense if certain conditions are met. Assuming the spark is a kind of signal detection software for your unconscious love template, following this feeling only “works” if you had a good model to begin with. Otherwise, you may need to move in the opposite direction.

Episode 560: Dread (understanding evil)

10/10/2025
The mission of this channel is to reduce unnecessary human suffering, and one way to do this is through a proper understanding of evil. One underappreciated source of evil is dread: the deeply unnerving uncertainty that attends awareness of our mortality. Attempts to both avoid dread and foreclose on it create a good deal of misery in the world. However, alternatives exist that can make life less hellacious.

Episode 559: She can cry (how to deal with an emotional woman)

10/6/2025
The sight of a crying woman can be a source of great distress for a man, which can motivate him to do all kinds of things he wouldn't ordinarily do in order to “make her feel better.” However, in most cases, there is typically nothing to be done. She can cry, and she is entitled to her feelings. This is dealing with an emotional woman.
