DOD288: Childfree By Choice, with Cecil Cicirello Jul 17, 2026

Although we all miss Eli in this episode, we have an incredible treat of a guest host: Cecil Cicirello! Cecil shares how he and his wife determined that childfree by choice was a good fit for them, and the dads get into childhood memories, being childfree and maintaining friendships with people who have children, and so much more. Plus an especially long patron-only segment at the end!

Plus: a game that Thomas sucks at?! Tune in to the Patron bonus to hear how bad it was.

For patrons only: Eli's kindest friend really stepped in it when taking a stab at a joke recently and Eli is beside himself with glee.
