In this episode, the guys take a light-hearted (and brutally honest) dive back into the Bro Code—those unspoken rules that supposedly guide male friendships. From “don’t date your buddy’s ex” to “always back your bro at the bar,” the crew revisits the classics, challenges a few, and maybe even breaks one or two along the way. 🤔😂
Is the Bro Code outdated? Are Man Codes more legit? Or are we all just making this up as we go?
Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and laugh along as the Man Space crew debates which codes still hold up in today’s world of modern masculinity.
📢 Hit play. Get real. Stay bros.

In this thought-provoking episode of Man Space, the crew steps into the tension-filled arena of relationships to ask the real question: Is competition healthy between partners—or is it quietly tearing things down?
The guys tackle the nuances of competing with your spouse, from gym gains to career goals. Is it motivation or rivalry? They dive into how modern dynamics are shifting, especially when the wife is the higher earner. Does it trigger jealousy, insecurity, or pride? With humor, honesty, and a little heat, they break down how men can deal with ego, celebrate their partners’ wins, and still feel strong in their own lane.
This is one episode every modern man (and woman) should hear—because behind every couple is a power balance, and sometimes, it’s off the scale.
🔊 Press play and join the conversation—are you competing or connecting?
