Men Explained, Poorly

Why deal with something today when you can put it off until tomorrow — or hide in the bathroom until everyone forgets about it? This week on Men Explained, Poorly, Rick Robinson and the guys tackle one of man's most finely tuned abilities: avoidance. At least, that's what they're supposed to be talking about. Instead, the conversation wanders through procrastination, marriage, last-minute school p...

Every man eventually encounters something broken and confidently utters four dangerous words: “I can fix that.” Rick Robinson, Ordinance Packard, Vincent Charles, Jeff, and the Trainwreck Radio ER Men Explained Poorly panel examine the distinctly male refusal to admit defeat when confronted by a malfunctioning appliance, computer, automobile, relationship, or household project. The conversation ex...

What begins as a battle with Restream quickly becomes an hour of mortality, questionable terminology, gourmet cafeteria food, misunderstood movies, and tiny vampires. Rick Robinson, Ordy Packard, Vincent Charles, and Jeff discover that a cloud-based studio can keep a show alive even after its host temporarily disappears. While Rick attempts to restore his audio, the remaining panel discusses presc...

Getting older does strange things to a man. One minute you’re lifting a couch, moving a 300-pound printer, digging up the yard, or doing something your 25-year-old self would recognize immediately. The next minute you’re losing a fifteen-second wrestling match with a jar of Nutella and wondering why your ankle hurts when you didn’t even do anything. This week on Men Explained Poorly, Rick, Vincent...

Male influencers promise purpose, power, and the “high-value” life—but too often, what they’re really selling is rented luxury, manufactured outrage, and their followers’ own insecurity.

They discuss fake online lifesty...

This week on Men Explained Poorly, the guys open the floor for an Ask Us Anything episode — which naturally means the questions barely survive contact with the panel.

This week on Men Explained Poorly, the guys take on the daily noise that keeps life turned up to eleven: breaking news alerts, social media outrage, clickbait, notifications, drama, fake urgency, bad advice, and all the mental junk that piles up until you cannot hear yourself think.

This week on Men Explained Poorly, Rick, Amish, Vincent, and Delaney take on men’s mental health in the only way this show can: with brutal honesty, dark humor, bad jokes, pop culture detours, and a surprising amount of sincerity hiding underneath the chaos.

Tonight on Men Explained Poorly, we’re asking a question America probably needs before the 250th birthday candles get lit: Did the decline of healthy masculinity help kill patriotism? When boys are taught that strength is suspicious, fathers are optional, sacrifice is outdated, competition is harmful, and national pride is cringeworthy, should we be shocked when fewer young men feel connected to c...

The same people who spend $10 on Coffee every morning and $28 on lunch 5 days a week, complaining about affordability, are just dumb. Roommates are a thing and have been for decades or more.  So are affordable ways to get the food you need. The entitlement is crazy, and Rick Ordy Vincent and Jeff discuss that on this show.

Tonight on Men Explained Poorly: ‘International Relations, Shenanigans’ — how translation tools, memes, and late-night posting accidentally sparked one of the most wholesome online friendship arcs in recent memory.

Things we wish someone had told us before the check-engine light came on. Nobody hands men an owner’s manual.

This week on Men, Explained Poorly, we tackle what it meant to grow up Gen-X — raising ourselves with freedom, responsibility, and very little instruction. We talk about the skills that forged, the blind spots it created, and the lessons we had to learn the hard way.

This is the pilot episode of our newest podcast in the men’s space. In this first episode, we introduce ourselves, lay out why this show exists, and talk honestly about what men are missing in today’s conversations.
