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.
