Episode Details

Season 7 is HERE — and we're coming in with a major announcement. After a year of late nights and quiet sacrifice, host Russ drops a bombshell that's been years in the making: the Russ and Less: Freshman Year novel is officially on the way. This premiere episode is part celebration, part real talk, and all Man Space. Russ and Less kick off the new season by honoring the journey — sharing the divine signs and unexpected confirmations that kept the book moving forward, reflecting on seven years of brotherhood that built this show, and getting into a hilariously honest debate about men and man purses (sling bags, messenger bags, fanny packs — nothing is off limits). They close things out with a powerful message about seasons of life: growth, struggle, waiting, and harvest — and why where you are right now is exactly where you need to be.
