    E21: Mankeeping (Feat. Emilie Friedlander)

    Is mankeeping a real thing? Is it just a thing that the internet made up as a way to prolong the “male loneliness crisis” discourse? Is it something that Emilie Friedlander did to Drew and Yannick to convince them to start Macho Pod? We recorded this episode over Christmas break but it feels like we recorded it 15 years ago, also I should probably tell you that mankeeping is basically what you call it when your boyfriend only has one friend and it’s you. We spend the end of this episode talking about something completely different that was relevant at the time. BRB gonna chadmaxx. Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, drew millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also produces the pod and does our theme music + any and all sound collages you may hear.

  2. E20: Scott Adams (R.I.P.)

    E20: Scott Adams (R.I.P.)

    Scott Adams was not the most extreme person we’ve covered on this podcast, but he was an important figure in the Macho Pod Extended Universe by being almost a bridge figure between the old manosphere and the new. The Dilbert guy was into “first principles”-style tech brain thinking, “just asking questions”-style racism, defending Our Boys Who Are Under Attack, taking ivermectin instead of real medicine, over-earnest sentimentalism in the style of Jordan Peterson, and hypnotism for sexual purposes. We talked about his life and legacy, and also read excerpts from his batshit crazy blog. However weird you think he was, we promise you he was weirder than that.

  3. E19: Bill Ackman

    E19: Bill Ackman

    Pop quiz hotshot, who’s the coolest guy. If you answered with any name other than Bill Ackman, you are INCORRECT. This episode is about the coolest guy in the world, who as we have established is Bill Ackman. We try to understand the mindset of the “activist investor,” why people think having a billion dollars makes them uniquely qualified to weigh in on stuff they don’t understand at all, and examine some of the funniest L’s that Bill Ackman has taken in his quest to live up to his name, which he believes stands for “Billionaire Activist Man.” Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, drew millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also produces the pod and does our theme music + any and all sound collages you may hear.

    E18: Michael Porter Jr.| Brooklyn Nets (Feat. Harry Krinsky and Ock Sportello)

    Yuri and Yannick were out for this episode, so Drew got to realize his dream of being an NBA podcaster with the help of harry of Nothing But Respect and ock sportello of Never Hungover. We talked about how Michael Porter Jr. and his brothers are like the Manosphere version of the Ball family, the myriad ways in which the Brooklyn Nets are the most disturbing franchise in the NBA, debate whether or not sports gambling is tight, and Ock tries to figure out which Nets players voted for Cuomo (most of them).

  5. E17: Muscle Man (Feat. Chris Gayomali)

    E17: Muscle Man (Feat. Chris Gayomali)

    This week we decided to do a book club about Jordan Castro’s novel Muscle Man. We were joined by our friend Chris Gayomali, a writer who edits at SSENSE and also writes the excellent Substack HEAVIES which you have to read or else you’re not allowed to listen to Macho Pod. Muscle Man is a very funny book about a college professor who’s distracted all day because he’s really hungry and imagining himself on a manosphere podcast who then goes to the gym and does a woke denunciation. We talk about working out, dude-style autofiction, Tao Lin curing his own autism, etc. etc. etc. Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, drew millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also does our theme music + any and all sound collages you may hear in our episodes.

  6. Episode 16: Menswear (@dieworkwear diss)

    31/10/2025

    Episode 16: Menswear (@dieworkwear diss)

    Derek Guy aka @dieworkwear is a guy named Derek who really likes to wear clothes good and also likes to dunk on guys who do not wear clothes good on X, The Everything App. A lot of the time those guys are in the Trump Administration and once Derek makes fun of the way they dress they stop being bad (haha jk). This episode is more about menswear as a phenomenon but we decided to frame it around Derek because he represents a specific strain of thinking in mens’ fashion, but more importantly he likes to pop off online so maybe he’ll get mad at us and give us clout. Other topics discussed include the Cone Mills Decepticon, the ultimate collab (smoking weed x playing videogames), and how wearing clothes is and is not like posting. Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, drew millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also does our theme music and the sound collages you hear at the beginning of the episode. He usually produces the episodes too but he was out this week so Drew did it; all audio errors are his fault.

  7. Episode 15: Young Thug

    Episode 15: Young Thug

    SLIME! SLATT! CHEE! SHEESH! Young Thug is one of the best rappers of the past 25 years, the subject of a baseless show trial the existence of which is a perversion of the legal system, and also a man under siege due to mostly his own actions. As we at Macho Pod continue our quest to understand men who cannot get off the computer, we gamely try to appreciate Young Thug as a whole person. “The test of a first-rate slime is the ability to hold uno dos cups stuffed at the same time and still retain the ability to function. Horses don’t stop they keep goin.” — F. Scott Fitzgerald Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, drew millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also produced the episode, composed our theme music, and put together the sound collage you hear at the start.

  8. Episode 14: Eminem

    06/10/2025

    Episode 14: Eminem

    Eminem made two really good CD’s and accidentally remade Bicycle Thieves in the form of 8 Mile, then got addicted to drugs went to rehab and reinvented himself as the technically goodest rapper alive. For this, the world has deemed him a cultural force on par with at least Elvis or somebody and now there’s a documentary about his fans called Stans which is the thing this episode is technically about. But mainly we’re just talking about how good Eminem used to be and how much he definitely has not gone to therapy. This episode is not Eminem hagiography but does find us making fun of Eminem hagiography. Macho Pod is hosted by Yannick LeJacq, drew millard, and Yuri Rybak. Yuri also produced the episode, composed our theme music, and put together the sound collage you hear at the start.
