The Grill Americans: NFL preview, Fantasy Football, & Masculine Formation with Andrew Isker
Football isn't just a game; it's a cultural phenomenon and a formative experience for young men. Joining us is Andrew Isker, as we tackle the heated debates surrounding football's significance. We dive deep into the role of sports in shaping masculinity, discussing how tackle football instills resilience, confidence, and strength in young boys. However, we also caution against the dangers of youth sports becoming an idol, where parents' excessive investment can sometimes overshadow more important aspects of life. Reminiscing about the golden era of Cornhusker football, we advocate for the revival of the fullback position and explore how economic and rule changes have reshaped modern football. Our conversation doesn't stop at the field; we examine the intersection of politics and sports, including unusual endorsements and the impact of social movements on the game. We also provide an in-depth analysis of rookie quarterbacks and draft prospects, evaluating their potential as they transition to the NFL. From assessing Caleb Williams' career trajectory to predicting Bo Nix's breakout season, we cover it all. Plus, don't miss our week one NFL picks and commentary, where we offer insights and spirited debates on the season's opening matchups. Tune in for a comprehensive, entertaining, and thought-provoking episode that's sure to resonate with football enthusiasts and skeptics alike.We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Hard Men Podcast Fantasy Football League!

Fighter Pilot: Robin Olds & The Softening of the Air Force with Ethan Senn
As the U.S. military has pushed the leftist agenda, it has inevitably emasculated and weakened itself. While the Air Force, for example, used to be a place for hard men like Robin Olds, one of the most decorated fighter pilots of all time, now it's just another bastion of DEI stupidity and Covid nonsense. In turn, like other branches, it has driven away the real men and American patriots who once made it great.In this episode we'll talk with Ethan Senn, Chief of Staff at New Christendom Press, about his ten years in the Air Force as an A-10 pilot. Eventually Ethan was kicked out of the military for refusing to wear a mask during The Great Shamdemic.We also talk Top Gun 2, real life Mavericks, and the need for fathers to teach their sons the martial virtues, something the military doesn't really do anymore.Get 10% off your next Reformation Heritage Books order with discount code "HARDMEN."Buy your plate armor from Premier Body Armor today.Join the Patreon exclusive membership.10 Ways to Make Money with Your MAXX-D Trailer.Alpine Gold Exchange Website: alpinegoldogden.comSet Up a Meeting: https://calendly.com/alpinegold/alpine-gold-consultationTalk to Joe Garrisi about managing your wealth with Backwards Planning Financial.Buy your beef or pork box today from Salt and Strings Butchery.

How should a husband utilize his authority as a husband to oversee his wife's spiritual formation? We broaden our discussion to encompass the concept of Complimentarianism, investigating its societal, familial, and church implications. Towards the end of our conversation, we navigate the turbulent waters of 'staying and fighting' versus 'fleeing and fighting' in progressive contexts.
