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 teaches Kristin about work/life balance; Vanessa and Mandy school Jen on camping; Ed asks Kyle how to get into heaven.

Boyd's school considers a change after his research on its namesake causes outrage; Mandy relies on Blanca's expertise while working on a class project.
