Ep84: Dislocated Dads, Disconnected Sons, Feat: Nick Shaddegg

from Oldmate and Josh, The Podcast Hosted by Oldmate and Josh

This is a no-culture-war, solutions-first deep dive into why boys and men are quietly falling behind — and why it matters for everyone. Using Richard Reeves’ Of Boys and Men, Oldmate & Josh unpack the education gap, the “working man blues,” dislocated dads, class and race pressure-cookers, and what happens when purpose disappears and resentment moves in. Then we get practical: what fixes actually look like (including the spicy “redshirt the boys” idea), how men can heal, and how to build better dads without rolling anything backwards. Come for the stats, stay for the human bits. Follow ⁠⁠@nickschadegg⁠⁠ for more. Music Pity Lips
