Dear Old Dads

We couldn't fit the fun of this one in a single episode, so we have a two-parter where the dads go through a list of behaviors that are considered examples of micro-cheating...or are they? You'll be surprised on who teams up for some of these! BUT FIRST - an imperative update on whether or not Thomas could do a pull-up! AND AFTER - a fantastic story from the Curry Clan!

Dear Old Dads

Eli shares a story from when he solo parented Max during Anna's very real-sounding-named fiddle festival, and the dads discuss what it means to have a child that's different in some way and the things they have to keep in mind when experiencing a world not necessarily built for them.

Eli witnessed an interaction in Target that raised the questions: How do you tell your kids when you can't afford something? Or, how do you tell them when you absolutely could afford something, but they really don't need it and have too much already?

Republicans see themselves as the party of men and manliness, but are they? Or are they the party whiny fragile little weird douchebags? Democrats, on the other hand, have some great examples of masculinity this election cycle: Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and Governor Tim Walz - America's Dads. And this episode was recorded before the DNC even started. (You can tell because Thomas isn't openly sobbing the entire time about Gus Walz.)

Dear Old Dads

Phoebe got a haircut recently and picked out something different than most kids her age, but it just spoke to her. The dads examine their own childhood approach to invention and reinvention of their self, and the methods they employ to help raise happy and healthy young adults that aren't as hung up on changing things up. Also somehow we talk for an extended period of time about the CEO of Jimmy John's being...intimate...with a shark.

More Episodes
After a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT, the dads discuss some devastating news... a certain couple has gotten back together. Maybe a certain couple that certain dads did not approve of being together. This spawns a discussion on getting back together with your (in Tom's case, invisible) exes. Is it a good idea? or a GREAT idea! Or bad.
