Spacemen, I demand respect! Except, that's not really how that works. On today's episode, we talk about respect with your spouse and your kids. Turns out, a lot of us are getting it wrong. Spoiler alert, respect is pretty directly related to the connection you have with the other person. So, if you want respect, figure out how to connect with someone. Guess you don't need to listen to the episode now. But still do. It would be the respectful thing to do.

Ahoy Spacemen! Today on the show, Mike and Rob talk about Sailing with Phoenix. If you don't know who that is, are you even living your life vicariously through social media? Spaceman, get on my level.

Mostly, we talk about how there is real advantages to learning to live without things. It's not always good to get anything you want whenever you want. Try cutting some stuff off. I mean, I'm not suggesting a finger or anything, but maybe social media or something. Just not The Manspace. No one should live without that.
