The dads all came in to record a new episode after the results of the election, and reflect on how to talk to kids about what happened, what may happen in this future administration, and what our responsibility is to others as we navigate the darkest timeline.

Did Eli overreact to another parent's verbal reminders for Max to "Dracula Sneeze?" How should we approach these sorts of situations to best advocate for our children? Should we be bossing other people's kids around or what?

Shall we...rip into it? Thomas kicks things off in sharing perhaps a breakthrough (dear god please) with Screamy Smith, and Tom carries us home with an Am I The Asshole post about children needing to earn celebration. Stick around for Eli's impression of his sister! Rip into it.

Tom was having some deep thoughts on consent and how we're teaching it to our boys. Is it possibly damaging to their self-esteem? How could we do it better?

This is a personal one - Tom shares an important update about a member of the Curry family, with their permission. But first! A story about how Tom may have actually changed the toxically masculine heart and mind of a car salesman. Also patrons, no need to listen to the end of the show if you're in the Facebook group. You already got the only necessary part of this particular Disneyland story from Lydia. What Thomas shares here is basically the same info...this is definitely not Lydia writing this. Promise.

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!
