This week on The Barn Philosopher, Shelby and Ridge dive into a topic that many guys secretly (or not so secretly) dread—being roped into “girl events.” From baby showers that go beyond the first kid to the rise of diaper parties (aka an excuse for guys to grill and drink) and the ever-growing spectacle of gender reveals, the hosts unpack the social expectations placed on men when it comes to these gatherings.
Shelby isn’t thrilled about attending, even when the invite comes with good intentions. Ridge tries to make sense of it all, questioning whether these events are about the celebration or just a creative way to get friends together.
Should guys have to show up for every baby-related milestone, or is there a limit? Are diaper parties the ultimate compromise? And do gender reveals really need pyrotechnics? Join us for a lighthearted but honest conversation about the changing landscape of social events for men.
Grab a drink, light your pipe and get ready for some first class anger.
