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's willpower is put to the test when Vanessa challenges him to go vegetarian for a week; Ed trolls ventriloquist Jeff Dunham on social media; Mandy and Kyle move into Kristin and Ryan's guest house.

On the eve of her birthday, Vanessa refuses to believe that she needs to slow down, going above and beyond on her grandma responsibilities; Joe puts Mike's friendship to the test.

Mike and Chuck get their game on when Ed has a pinball machine installed in the office; Kristen and Mandy become jealous of a poem Vanessa wrote for Jen.

When Mandy and Kyle are hesitant to move out of the Baxter household and into their own place, Mike gives them some tough love; Ed and Chuck try to avoid contributing to Boyd's theater fundraiser.
