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.

Chuck and Mike debate the merits of an inner city school merging with a high school in an upscale neighborhood; Boyd's Halloween costume -- a lump of coal -- reminds Vanessa of her job's potential impact on the environment.

Mike gives Mandy advice on how to set aside money for paying taxes, but she decides to do things her own way.

Mike gets caught between Kristin and Ryan when it's discovered that Boyd was never vaccinated against chicken pox.

When Mike's behavior at Grandparents Day gets his grandson kicked out of preschool, he is forced to take the child to work with him; Vanessa tries to look more youthful.
