Dude Desert? Guy Gridlock? Brocopalypse? A 2025 Gallup study revealed a disproportionate 25% of young American men suffering from severe daily isolation. JB and Jim trace the cultural evolution of male bonds—from the post-WWII "strong, silent" to the vulnerable "bromances" popularized by Judd Apatow and Ted Lasso to today’s "strong, violent type" idealized in the modern manosphere. If the male friendship deficit is real, do Boomers bear responsibility? Were they absent parents? Did they deliberately extract wealth from the economy, leaving behind a wasteland of financial destitution and unemployment? Or is it an imagined crisis?
