DOD252: Choosing Between Career and Family Jan 16, 2026

Show notes

The dads get together (OR DO THEY) to answer a listener question about making choices between career and family. How do you make decisions between the two when they absolutely affect the other? We know the toxic concept thrust onto women that "they can have it all," but is there also a version of this targets men?

In the patron-only bonus segment, check out how pillar-of-the-atheist-podcast-community Eli Bosnick totally fumbled atheism.

DOD250: No Will? No Way! Jan 07, 2026

It's the New Year so the two inevitables - taxes and death - are on our minds. Two of the dads lecture the third about not having a will. Make your pick before you press play on who that solo will-less dude is!

DOD249: I Got You the Anthropologie Rock Jan 03, 2026

Show notes

Eli starts us off with the most fiendish hypothetical Dinner Party Question(tm) ever conceived. After some recovery, the dads discuss a popular prank being done on dads and how all of the dads fail.

DOD248: WTF is the Nude Lingerie Test Dec 27, 2025

Show notes

The dads do basically an entire episode in the intro segment about something that shakes the very foundation of the pod. People have been forever changed as a result.

And then, our main course: an insane take from a blog post (which includes many more takes) of a manosphere kind of guy that has created a test for everyone to use to check whether or not their lady partner cares about them.

DOD247: Yuckin Yummers Dec 24, 2025

Show notes

Tom's kids have a tendency to yuck other people's yum and it's driving him nuts. So settle in with a tall glass of chunky goat milk and listen to a Christmas Eve Dads.

DOD246: When You Want Takesies Backsies on Being a Parent Dec 19, 2025

Show notes

What do you do when you regret being a parent and feel like the whole thing might have been a mistake? A listener writes in with these feelings and the dads are on it! It's probably a more common experience than you think. Unless you're Thomas.

DOD245: I'd Say My Biggest Weakness Is Stupid Interview Questions Dec 17, 2025

Show notes

If you're in the market for some fatherly advice from the dudes about interviewing for jobs, you're in luck! Listen in to hear the dads debate questions like, what do you do in the face of stupid interview questions?

And in the very special, patron-only bonus at the end, we share an email from ABSOLUTE LEGENDS - the parents from sex doll gate aka the episode that sent Eli to an earlyish grave.

DOD244: 48 Is the New 90 Dec 12, 2025

Show notes

Tom is out today so we have a non-dad here to join the ranks of Eli and Thomas to take on a listener email about their daughter's surprise husband. How do we approach interpersonal relationships with folks that are important to our kids if they might feel like red flags to us? But first, listen up for how Thomas infected Max with ADHD. Eli has the receipts.

November 2025 Bonus! Dec 08, 2025

Show notes

LITERALLY NONE of us have ever heard Eli laugh as much as he did on this episode as we read (and answer?) a listener email.

Patrons: this one was bonkers so we're going to let the normies have it too. Once y'all listen, I'm sure you will understand. We still love you more though.
