So many good episodes— definitely a podcast you can binge!

Love hearing about each host and hearing the man’s answer to questions :)

I am not a fan of this new format. I tried to give it a shot but it’s not good like it used to be.

Love the new show and rotating hosts!! Especially Jimmie Allen

Loveeeddddd these two guest hosting. They rambled but it was so cute and funny to hear their take. Love the change of pace

Absolutely loved this podcast, my husband and I would listen faithfully always looking forward to the next episode. However, we miss Gavin!! We find ourselves just listening to the intro to see if he’s back.. he definitely added something special! Hope he returns soon!

Wow the whole premise of this podcast sets women back 50 years. What is this sexist crap? Shut it down 😐👎🏽

Listened to about 4 episodes of this podcast before I gave up. Brooks and Gavin claim to speak on behalf of men, but this is inaccurate. They fall into typical male norms and patterns of behavior, not very progressive in their thinking at all and fall into stale, outdated modes of “this is how men really think”, particularly when the topic of sex comes up. Yikes. I would recommend they get more authentic and vulnerable, as opposed to the posturing and stereotypical male grandstanding they engage in.

In the “boys will be boys” episode, Brookes says that he prefers his partner to not wear heavy makeup. (Totally understandable not judging this opinion at all), BUT then he goes on to say how if his partner continued or wore more makeup, that it’s not what he prefers and she’s only wearing it “for someone else.” EXCUSE ME!? Women can wear or not wear as much makeup as they want sir. I’ll never let my significant other dictate what I wear or how much or how little makeup I want to slap on my face. He needs to think more about his responses before shouting them out, about done with this podcast because Gavin hasn’t been on in months too.

Loved it until you dropped Gavin and the guys. Probably won’t listen until/ if they cone back.

I just miss all the guys! I’m not sure all 5 of them have been together since Covid and it’s just such a bummer. Brooks is awesome but I feel like the show is more “how Brooks thinks” than anything. I’ll be back once the guys are all back! :)

Hope we hear more from her.

Love your show! The only feedback I do have is that I wish you would touch on sometimes that everyone is extremely different. When listening to the men don’t understand episode, I feel like not all women are like how they were saying at all. For instance I absolutely hate talking on the phone and Amy kept saying that women love it...just wanted to point out that maybe it should be prefaced that not everyone is the same. To be honest I feel more like the guys in this one. I couldn’t really relate to a lot the women were saying. As I said I do love the show just wanted to point this out!

Have listened from the beginning and do enjoy the content! That said— it seems like every episode is slowly just becoming Brooks’ therapy session about his hockey career ending & I find myself skipping through more and more. Totally respect that transition, but it’s hard to keep listening to the same thing on every single episode. Would love more round table discussions with the guys if possible! Would love to see Gavin back too as I always enjoyed his perspective and humor in the mix.

Amy is back. I am pleased. Thank you.

What a waste of time I listened to two podcasts where they discussed if a man takes a woman to a fancy restaurant early on, is she on the hook for sex? Nobody not once, mentioned that dating is not a business deal. It’s not a service or transaction. It’s about two grown ups getting to know each other and being honest about their desires and preferences You are doing a huge disservice by what you don’t talk about here. Why didn’t you suggest to your guest that she is NEVER on the hook for sex regardless of whether the meal is $10. or $1000? If you don’t know that, what are you doing with a podcast??? This is a powerful platform How bout using it for good? 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

I love hearing the men’s insight on different matters, and they also crack me up. I laugh out loud at them! Always love when a new episode comes out-keep them coming!

Honestly, was so pumped for this when it came out but it’s gone downhill fast. Call it a draw, y’all tried... but unless you’re going to have consistent and honest hosts it’s hard to be on board anymore.

Not a podcast I get into and I listen to many all men run podcasts

Brookes is great, Gavin is great -all are great. As a female I enjoy listening to these podcasts. The only ones that get boring are the ones where they interview ultimate fighters etc. I also like how they ask the women on the podcast dating questions etc.. overall great to listen to while I’m painting/art work.

I’ve been listening since day one. But episodes where it’s only Brooks and a random host, like the last two, are so boring. There’s no agenda, just two guys chatting. Gavin needs to be on the episodes, he’s hilarious and down to earth. Ryan very much needs to go, his constant rude remarks to brooks thinking he’s “funny” but he’s awful. I can’t stand listening to him just bash and bash all the time. The best episodes are always when it’s Gavin, Brooks, Rick and Dymetrie (spelled wrong, sorry). They are hilarious and add such good insights. And definitely should do more podcasts where they answer questions honestly. SO GOOD. I’ll keep listening but skip the podcasts when they’re annoying. Point blank, always have the 4 guys, make Ryan disappear and go back to an agenda and stop just discussing COVID - 19 and go back to what this podcast was created for.

Gavin is what makes this podcast for me. I love how he talked about the people who have lost their job and the economy. Gavin also is taking care of his Dad, which is so sweet. Meanwhile, Brooks is quarantining separately from his wife on his 10 acres in Idaho. Super relatable...not. I’d have more respect for him if he would talk about his marriage struggles instead of the silence.

Officially unsubscribed after Ryan went on his whiny rant about having to look after his kids. He’s a brat, and if his kids are truly as difficult as he claims they are, it’s probably because they’re mimicking his crummy attitude.

After the most recent podcast with Brooks and Ryan, I was disappointed with Ryan’s attitude, constant negativity and harassment of Brooks. It was embarrassing, sadly. Not sure I can listen any longer.

Brooks is great but the guest host Ryan is an enormous whiner. He is a self absorbed irritating griper. I’ve got three kids—all boys who play hockey and are very active (and the reason I thought Brooks would be insightful). My oldest son has joined the Navy and the middle son has just been accepted into West Point. They are men’s men, so I chose to listen to this podcast to get a sense of what is going in my boys’ heads. When Ryan is on I just cringe. His comments about little girls recently was appalling. Probably not going to listen anymore because listening to that man ruins my day and discourages me that males can be understood. I’m not a hater, just being real (to quote Ryan’s own excuses for why his negativity is ok).

I feel so bad that I have to say that Amy keeps interrupting people and sometimes with immature comments that shouldn’t really be voice, especially as a producer. I didn’t want to after all the comments saying the same thing but I was looking extra Forward to the most recent podcast but Amy literally ruined it and made it so hard to get through it :/ I feel bad but seriously, come on.

Honestly I feel like NONE of them understand Ryan’s point of view. Constantly interrupting him

You NEED to take a seat and stop interjecting. This podcast is called the “How men think” show, not the “How does producer AMY think and feel at every second of the show” show. I have been following since day one and support this community of men sharing their life and thoughts, it’s great to have a balanced view and approach to things which is why I so appreciate having so many men and guests come on the show. I’ve introduced this podcast to my boyfriend and we thoroughly enjoy every topic of conversation. It leads us to have some great conversations prompted from these lovely guys. But every time Amy interjects, it’s like nails on a chalk board with very aggressive nonsensical comments, arguments, questions... my boyfriend and I just groan every time she tries to say something and it’s beyond annoyance at this point. It feels like were listening to a 10 year old kid trying to have a conversation with adults but you have to nicely say to them “honey, this is an adult conversation, go back and play with the kids and please leave us alone and be quiet.” Please, someone... just tell her to take a backseat and just do the other things she’s good at because talking and having a prude attitude doesn’t help round out the show in any way. Please take the feedback that EVERYONE has been providing on the reviews that she’s got to stop interjecting in every podcast that exists in iHeartRadio. I’m trying not to give up listening to this podcast because it’s so nice to hear men talk amongst each other and encourage but I have to mute this every time she speaks up and i think y’all really need to reconsider this madness. Lord 🙏🏼

I really enjoy these guys. As a wife I enjoy hearing a man’s perspective on things and the guys seem to play well off each other. However, I am having a hard time listening to Amy interrupt their guests. I’m not a fan of tv shows or podcasts that just have people yelling over each other, it’s hard to listen to. Plus, isn’t the whole idea of this podcast is how MEN think, Amy just comes off as rude. Let guests speak without interruption please.

Anyone else just a tad annoyed at hearing about how much people enjoy eating healthy and exercising while the rest of us work 50+ hours a week to make less a year than they paid for their car? So many podcasters are completely out of touch with the majority of society and lack relevance to the point it’s concerning. Thought this podcast would be less self-absorbed than the others. Not even close to what real men think.

I’ve been listening from the beginning and I’ve really enjoyed the varying viewpoints - from completely serious to Gavin’s utterly humorous. I’ve been married for 30 years and our 3 kids are in their 20’s. I don’t relate to the ‘new’ parent topics as much, but marriage is marriage and life is life. I enjoy the fascinating guest podcasters (especially Boris Kodjoe) and I like being able to take new tips with me in order to apply them to my life. I will keep listening and I will continue to recommend your podcast to friends!

I used to love this podcast but Amy just doesn’t stop talking.

Miss the round table discussions with the co-hosts. Don’t feel like Brooks adds any value beyond hockey and all his money. Love the way Amy moderates the discussion, she’s great!

I love to listen to the men, especially Brooks and Gavin, but I can’t listen to this podcast anymore. The producer, Amy, ruins it. I was excited to listen to the podcast today when I saw who the guest was and at the beginning of the podcast, Brooks actually said how much HE was looking forward to talking to Dave Hollis because he admired him and was going through some of the same changes in his life. Unfortunately, as usual, the producer, Amy, interrupted so much I had to turn it off at about 40 minutes. She’s constantly interrupting the men and the guests to comment or to tell a story about herself. The podcast is called “How Men Think”. I do not listen to hear Amy. This podcast was recommended to me by some friends (both male and female) but none of them listen anymore for the same reason. Sad. This could be a great podcast if it was just the men.

Please keep Amy behind the scenes. The guys are great, and I used to love listening to this (as a female) but Amy needs to realize that she is and should not be the focus of this podcast. She is loud, cuts off the speakers and makes everything about her. I’m at the point where I look now to see if she is on before I listen. Unfortunate because I’m sure Dave Hollis would have been great, if Amy would have let him get a word in.

I love how Brooks is willing to go deep and be vulnerable, I always hoped that Dave and Brooks would connect because they both have such an elegance in the way they speak! I really was looking forward to this episode. However, Brooks (the host) hardly spoke because Amy interrupted and asked questions that were so dumbed down in the middle of a real vulnerable conversation which completely derails the flow between the MEN. I about fell off my chair when she said she wants the men on this podcast to be vulnerable when she ALWAYS brings it back to questions that benefit herself or women. Maybe make your own segment Amy? Like 10 minutes of “Questions from Amy” that is dedicated to you. I appreciate her input sometimes but it was too much. I really hope Brooks and Dave do some more content in the future!

Yikes. Amy interrupts way too much. She doesn’t allow the people talking to finish a thought. Annoying. Other than that, it’s great. Love the rest of it!

Amy is way too loud and interrupts way too much. She ruins the entire podcast

First I just want to say I love this podcast. In the “Gavin a Game Night” Ep Gavin says he had a realization that he wanted to make music to change and make other people’s lives better too. And he has really done that. My father In law was a drummer, he passed away and he LOVED gavins music. That music has been the only thing bringing his family together in the hard times. They all come together and listen and cry and remember the good times. And without his music it wouldn’t be the same.

I love this podcast! It’s a group of guys having incredibly deep and meaningful conversations, but never losing a wonderful sense of humor and genuineness. These are guys I’d love to hang out with and feel like I’m doing so when I listen. I’m grateful that people like this are willing to put themselves out there and help others by sharing what they know, think and feel. Thanks guys!

I will say I originally only started listening because I’m a huge Gavin DeGraw fan and love his voice. But I’ve actually learned some fun things from a male perspective which is pretty cool. And honestly they are hilarious and I find myself laughing out loud. Keep it up gentleman you are all incredibly interesting and funny.

I know he’s supposed to offer the “single guy” opinion, but instead he’s usually just immature and argumentative and seems to lack a lot of self awareness for a 40-something man. Taking a little break and hoping things improve in the future. What was originally a good discussion between men has degraded into a lot of everyone yelling over each other.

I love the authenticity. The guys speak from the heart and I feel like I am in their circle while listening. There’s no holding back. I enjoy this podcast. It’s interesting. I learn something.

I recently started listening but I do have a lot of love for this show. It’s interesting and the topics are real life topics and to know that guys do have an opinion on certain things I would have never guessed they cared about is very refreshing. I like all the guys equally and they all bring something to the table with their personalities. Producer Amy, I don’t have much for hate to say about her other than to maybe not be super loud cause I’m wearing headphones when I’m listening and the loudness hurts my ears. Also, I don’t really appreciate how sometimes she will say things like “us women” or basically generalization like that when her views are not always everyone’s opinion. I’ve agreed with her on some things but not everything. But other than that, it’s a great show.

I love Gavin Degraw !!!! I think I love listening to his insight or whatever you call it ( Just him talking ) as much as I love listening to him sing ❤️ He’s made from a different cloth than most , very special and you don’t come across a someone as amazing as he his !!

I can see why this podcast would initially appeal to people. For me, after a recommendation from a friend, I enjoyed a few episodes that were thought-provoking and insightful. I enjoy Brooks desire to learn and evolve. Gavin throws in his humor and a direct approach. However, I must agree with other reviewers that Amy’s commentary is not always warranted, especially when she tries to make the episodes her personal vent session. Sometimes it feels like the show should be called “Amy Wants to Know What Men Think.” This is not to take away from the work she does for the show or her ability to be candid; it’s just misleading to have her voicing her perspective the majority of the time. Aside from that, I believe that having men/guests of differing backgrounds would be helpful in providing various vantage points. Culture also plays a role in how men think. I believe this podcast has potential to be better than it currently is. It’s getting harder to listen to.

Tried to give this show a chance because I’m a huge Brooks Laich fan from his days on the capitals, but this show is a total snooze fest and the producer Amy is totally ruining the show. She has got to go.

I listen every week and love the different perspectives. Really enjoy Brooks but love the other guys too as they are all different. I look forward to Mondays.

I love Brooks from his days with the Caps and I really wanted to like this podcast. Unfortunately, some of the views put forth by the other men and Amy don’t align with my personal views and I couldn’t get through it. As a woman, I am likely not the target audience so maybe that’s it. They have a good rapport and the sound quality is good though! Best of luck guys!

I tuned in this week because I fell prey to clickbait about Brooks’ admissions about his sexuality. What I got in return was outright sexism and terribly offensive comments from whoever the loser is with the southern accent. Grow the hell up.
