Mike Baxter is a happily married father of three daughters who finds himself the odd man out as he tries to maintain his manliness in a home surrounded by women. Mike tries to escape all the female drama at home in the warm, manly embrace of his job at the Outdoor Man store, a sporting goods emporium where he is marketing director. He also revels in his Outdoor Man vlog, which he uses as a pulpit for his opinions -- which often have nothing to do with the store's merchandise. When he's supposed to be selling mountain bikes or kayaks, he somehow ends up spouting off about the environment, health care, international politics or any other topic occupying his mind.

Mike uses Chuck's injury as an excuse to get out of yoga class with Vanessa; Kristin and Ryan, and Mandy and Kyle each believe the other couple is jealous of their relationship.

Mandy gets jealous after Mike spends time with Ryan at a marketing retreat; Ed attempts to get Chuck and Joe to see a musical.

Mike and Chuck compete in Outdoorsman's annual chili cook-off; Ryan and Kyle take the place of Kristin and Mandy at Vanessa's weekly mother-daughter luncheon.

Mike and Mandy go to extreme measures to help Vanessa connect with voters in her state assembly campaign; Ed's offer to split a baby gift for Kristin and Ryan leads Chuck and Kyle to wonder which of them makes more money.
