DOD193: A Thirst Trap Trap Mar 21, 2025

Show notes

The dads tackle a couple of listener questions about sharing bad or weird behavior of a loved one's partner, and managing taking care of yourself and your relationship while being full-time parents and full-time employees with barely enough hours leftover in the day to sleep. But first - some ranting about Elon Musk and how much he SUCKS.

DOD192: Funding Your Kid's "Lifestyle" Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Tom brings a story from someone at work with adult children who...stilly really rely on their parents. The dads discuss their upbringing in this respect, and how they're approaching that support structure - housing, finances, etc. - with their kiddos. But first! A vasectomy update!

DOD191: This Is Your Parents on Drugs Mar 14, 2025

DOD190: Anatomy of a Not Cash Money Experience Mar 12, 2025

Show notes

Content Note: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault and issues of consent in intimate experiences.

Thomas's friend recently had a "not cash money" experience with a date, and the dads discuss consent when someone changes their mind over the course of the evening, the societal failure to support vulnerability when reflecting on your own missteps in those "gray" situations, and whether or not it's tough to evaluate enthusiasm with a potential intimate partner.

DOD189: Pushing for a Push Present Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

We've got an Am I the Asshole (AITH) post this week that made the dads (and the whole internet) laugh a hearty chuckle. It's more like a This Guy Is The Asshole (TGITA). But then, two of the dads are revealed to be poopy pantses. Only one dad's pants are clean. But whose? Find out.

DOD188: Mind the Age Gap Feb 28, 2025

Show notes

We got a listener email that Eli wants Tom to read us on the air for the first time. There's a detail in it that completely isn't the point, but is absolutely the point.

Phoebe had her first sleepover. The dads talk about that, what their rules are around sleepovers, and at what age they let their kids go on them. Spoiler: for Tom it's the age of 93!

DOD186: Who Can Fix the Men? Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

Content Note: This episode includes some discussion of the treatment of marginalized communities under the Trump administration.

After reading a post from Reddit, the dads dive into a deep discussion on how men can change men's minds (and if we should even bother) regarding masculinity, the patriarchy, feminism, and politics. Have we already lost to the red-pilled man-o-sphere, or can we still reach people? I think we might have a three bears situation on our hands!

DOD185: "My Partner Won't Get Help and I Feel Stuck..." Feb 14, 2025

Show notes

The dads do their best to help a listener with a tough marriage/parenting problem. Their partner behaves terribly both with them and with the kids, but blames it on self-diagnosed mental health issues. Where is the line between accommodating and being taken advantage of?
