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 decides that everyone in the family should dress up like each other for the annual Halloween party, hoping to turn everyone against the holiday.

Vanessa's attempt to have both her granddaughters admitted to an elite preschool puts her in a sticky situation to return a political favor; Mike worries Rev. Paul is taking advantage of Kyle.

When Ed pits Mike and Joe against each other to find the next classic car for renovation, Chuck teaches them a valuable lesson; Mandy, Kyle and Vanessa meddle in Jen's love life.

When Vanessa's sister visits, Mike assumes he is about to be confronted with another loan request; Kyle worries what Mike will think when Kristin and Kyle break up.
