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

    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?

    DOD183: We Watched Justin Baldoni's TED Talk...
    Feb 7 2025

    Part 1 of 2.

    Now that he has been outed as a crap and a fake feminist, we wanted to watch Justin Baldoni's TED Talk from 2017 out of morbid curiosity and/or to see if maybe he had made any good points. So was this foreseeable? How would we have looked at this TED talk at the time, not knowing anything about him?

Fatherhood for today

I'm actually a patron of this show because patreon benefits rule and I love the extra stories and bonus content. I'm not a father, not a parent of any kind. But I love this show because it helps me put my own father into better perspective and learn about the new parental values of today. This show is extremely funny, touching, and relatable. Highly recommended.

cannot rate high enough

I love this podcast. Having become a step dad in my late 30's after spending most of my life never thinking I'd have the responsibility of parenting I never thought I'd need to know these things, but now that I am I was lost at it. These fellows have helped alot in righting that ship.
