This episode Ben holds it down solo! Jonathan was on a family trip, but the podcasts must go on! This was all Miami sports! As the Miami Heat clinched another Finals appearance, defeating Boston in 6. Ben goes off on Paul Pierce for his oxymoronic segments on ESPN "Truth Hurts". Ben has never liked Pierce and it doesn't seem like it's changing any time soon. And oh yeah. Miami Hurricanes embarrassed FSU Saturday night, kind of sad when UAB gave the Canes a tougher game. And held them to less points. In closing, Ben asks the question what are conservatives going to watch now that they've "Canceled" The Rock for endorsing Biden/Harris 2020?

On this episode of the show, we talk about the inability for accountability of those in power. With the Breonna Taylor Grand Jury decision fresh on our minds. We ask when is it the people within the system to take some responsibility for the reactions of so many. Jon & Ben tell their stories when they were in the Army, when certain people get pushed through because they fit certain criteria but not quite leadership in positions of power. We lightly graze over the quiet anti-Semitism that is so pervasive in our society by believing "Jewish people have all the money". Understanding that before the holocaust the Jewish community were only allowed to work in banks. Ben wonders how in this day and age people are indifferent towards in these divisive times. The AG mentioning Sedition towards protesters using their 1st amendment right. This was a heavy conversation when Ben mentions that Trump supporters were talking about moving to his country of Panama if Joe Biden wins. Ben finally recommends "American

On this episode, the men discuss the impact being of being vulnerable with their creativity. They have a talk about how scary it is to start a business, and wondering "if people will like me". Ben has an "Aha" moment when Jon said the dangers of being told "be realistic". Not being afraid to fail takes courage and a lot of failures, overnight successes aren't what they seem to be. Then they talk about the collapse of Kawhi, but more the focus on the Miami Heat's center Bam Adebayo! He had a MONSTER block in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/man-chatter5/message

On this episode, Jon finally confesses his undying love for the boy/man band Backstreet Boys. It takes Ben a second to gather his roasting thoughts.

Ben also brings up Cobra Kai on Netflix which is another example of middle aged men trying to recapture their youth. We also get into the conversation of the thought process of "Cancel Culture". And not being able to say certain words. Finally we agree that white liberals and conservatives have a lot more in common then they'd like to admit. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/man-chatter5/message

On this episode the boys talk about their recent venture into T-shirt designing and Ben even wears the shirt on the show. They get a little detailed into the importance of a soft cotton over a thiccc one. Then they start discussing the Joe Rogan Spotify deal and wonder if they'll ever reach such numbers.

This episode we randomly started the show talking about Jon enjoying Chick-Fil-A, and got deeper into the fast food connoisseurs. Ben brings up a conversation he overhead with other coworkers last week, when the topic of bringing up 5 reasons why Donald Trump was a racist. And Ben asked why is 5 reasons the bar? Are you by that logic admitting that he's been racist a minimum 4 other times? Jon also asks Ben why he named his robot vacuum "Geoffrey", because it's black and a great cleaner an homage to fresh prince. Please don't cancel us. And the Youtube tutorial for win on saving Ben's cast iron skillet. Jon describes his living experience in "Pleasantville" Ohio and his door to door salesman for home security services.

On this episode we finally discuss the legendary rivalry of Spanish futbol, (we'll never call it soccer). Jonathan is a Barcelona fan and Ben representing the 13 time UCL Champions Real Madrid. We finally had this talk because even as a Madridista Ben understands that Leo Messi deserves a better end to his GOAT career at Barcelona than how it is currently ending. Our fandom for our clubs isn't hidden in anyway, and we had a great time giving each other crap. Ben also kicked it off with his story of murdering a snake that tried killing his chickens in between recordings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/man-chatter5/message

This was a heavy episode, as we reminisced on the life of Chadwick Boseman. He was a phenomenal actor the portrayed legendary roles such as Black Panther and Jackie Robinson. This one hits close to home for Ben as he has family and friends battling Cancer. We talk about the issues that men face, dealing with their pain and emotions through not just grief, but also everyday life. Strength isn't just about showing a smile when everything is good, it's about how you deal when something's don't feel quite right. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/man-chatter5/message

On this episode we discuss the conservative talking points that usually fall flat and are dismantled with just one follow up question. "Why"? That's all it takes for someone that does nothing but parrot talking points to begin to stutter and "huh" and "hmm" their way through a conversation. The POTUS damn near endorses QAnon and arms this dangerous cult with more exposure and potential followers. The Republican Embrace of QAnon is deeper than just Trump. Don't get okie-doked by GOP/conservative/Trump/QAnon cultists when all they know how to do is spew circular logic and parrot talking points that don't stand up to the scrutiny of one simply question... WHY? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/man-chatter5/message

OK Folks, so Ben Shapiro was not the only topic of discussion. Let's be real though, he does sound like a constipated chipmunk. That makes perfect sense because Ben Shapiro knows nothing about that WAP. That dude needs to keep his mouth shut and stop giving women the worst possible vaginal situation: DAP. Yeah, Ben knows all about dry ass p*$y. Desert P*$y. That's what he knows. And why does he sound like the guy reading the side effects in a Cialis commercial? Slow down. Take a breath Ben. Stick to what you know: Pandering to the conservative Christians that love to hear you spew We did get deep in the first 30 minutes - we always do - and discuss yet another black person getting shot. 7 times. In. The. Back. Jacob Blake was shot 7 times. Just in case you haven't been watching the news. Truth is, I just found out because the news was giving me nothing but negative shit lately. And how a 17 year old with an AR gets handed a bottle of water AFTER he's gunned down multiple people. Yeah. No such thing as #White

This episode Ben comes back from his social media hiatus. Ben needed to detox from all the madness of people's takes and take a step back from his own rantings. He also acknowledges the greatness of Andrew Schulz to be able to make this crazy time hilariously palatable. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/man-chatter5/message

On this episode we have the return of the polar bear, Joshua Pastor. This episode gets heavy with the protests, and current political climate. The first hour is all protest talk, and we somehow segue into Elon Musk's brilliance. And we finally close it out with the "Top 5 TV shows of our lifetime".
