    DOD193: A Thirst Trap Trap
    Mar 21 2025

    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.

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.

I'm not a dad but I found what they talk about very insightful and maybe one day I will use what I learned to be a great father
