Why Grown Men Need Checkups and Better Birthday Gifts | Grown Man Game Ep. 10

In this one, Mike and Rod talk about what it looks like to get older as men and actually take your health seriously. They get into doctor visits, bloodwork, hydration, stretching, recovery, and why too many men wait too long to handle their health.

They also get into a funny but real debate about relationships and gifts, including why sex should not be the only birthday, Valentine’s Day, or Father’s Day gift. The conversation turns into a bigger talk about effort, thoughtfulness, helping at home, and what men actually want when it comes to feeling appreciated.

They wrap up with talk about consistency, content creation, better daily habits, and giving your family a broader experience through travel.
