## Resource

The pendulum swings as an episode dedicated to something only a woman can do is followed by a show based on all things masculine in this week's Chubstep. The guys start with thanking the fans for their most downloads ever in the month of April, Steed quitting his part time job in college by ghosting a sub shop, and a casino commercial which can't be interpreted in an appropriate way. The guys get to what they meant by the topic of masculinity doing an ASMR of eating a meat sticks, a 90's kid peak image of masculinity, the positive beginning of the meaning of toxic masculinity, why men don't live as long, beers, the ultimate man names, the best ways to eat meat, masculinity norm changes through history including crying and high heels, and the best ways for a man to break up with his significant other
