Welcome back to another engaging episode of OTR! In this episode, we dive into two hot-button topics - the evolving definitions of a good man and a good woman in 2024. Our conversation kicks off with a unique twist: instead of starting with what makes a good man, we explore what defines a good woman in today's rapidly changing world, sharing insights from four thoughtful brothers.

We delve into the ongoing "gender wars" and the societal checklists that attempt to define masculinity and femininity. From the influence of media and politics to the pressures of social media, we discuss how these forces shape our perceptions of gender roles. We also tackle the controversial topic of toxic masculinity and the impact of so-called "manfluencers" like Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan.

Throughout the episode, we emphasize the importance of authenticity, self-respect, and mutual support in relationships. Whether you're navigating the complexities of modern dating or seeking to understand what truly makes a good partner, this episode offers valuable perspectives. Join us for a candid, thought-provoking discussion on the qualities that make a good man and woman in 2024.

It's been two full years since the OTR boys recorded an episode. Some things have changed. New marriages, kids, some grey hairs, and bald heads but one thing hasn't changed. We give honest thoughtful opinions on everything. Tap in and ride with us once more.

Black celebrities carry a burden to be outspoken against all forms of oppression. Fair or unfair, that is the expectation of our culture.
