    DOD259: If I Publicly Humiliate Us Both Will You Take Me Back???
    Feb 20 2026

    A stunning press moment at the Olympics has the dads discussing "grand gestures" in romantic relationships. Does anyone ever actually want to be on the receiving end of one of those, or are they primarily done for the benefit of the person "giving" them? And in the patron exclusive bonus, hear how Tom's kids absolutely blew the rest of us out of the water for Valentine's Day.

    DOD258: Should We Expect Our Kids to Take Care of Us?
    Feb 12 2026

    One of the dads was very surprised to find out that many people expect their kids to take care of them when they are elderly. Beyond that, it also is a very common reason people give as to why they even HAD kids. This seems insane. Is it? Yes.

    DOD257: Help, I'm Dating a Conspiracy Nut
    Feb 11 2026

    We've got another listener question, and the dads dig into it almost right away! How do you tackle conspiratorial beliefs from your partner? Is this type of mismatch in a relationship DOA or is there hope to work it out? It isn't OFFICIALLY claimed as a three bears situation during the show, but I can tell you now that it's definitely a three bears episode.

    PLUS: our amazing patrons get an extra long patron-only segment at the end!
