Neither of us realized there was an International Men’s Day and, when we discovered it, we thought it was probably a bunch of Men’s Rights Activist BS. Turns out, parts of it are… kinda great and uplifting? Join co-hosts Bo Méndez and Jackson Bird as we discuss the history, the problems, and the promise of International Men’s Day. Bo invents a new word(?)! James Bond makes his first appearance!
