Two Dads Talking

Ep. 60 - Elon Musk and DOGE

Our most heated discussion since Alabama vs IVF (Veni, Vidi, In-Vitro), this week we're talking about Elon Musk, DOGE, and ethics in government and oversight. How Dodgy is DOGE? Does Musk's conflict of interest Trump the potential for reform? We went long on this one, so buckle in for an argumentative, philosophical, ideological battle that lasted longer than Doug's bladder or Tom's patience. Go Dad Go.

Ep. 59 - This is a Tomocracy

This week we have a special guest, Drunk Tom! In addition to our one-sided Tomocracy, we talk about the Jason Voorhees of elephants, butcher the last name of a national champion (sorry Paige!), trigger Tom on Dire Wolves being "de-extincted," and share "the worst thing we've ever done while drunk" stories.

Trailer - Two Dads Talking Podcast

This is NOT a parenting podcast. At least, it's not a how-to.  
If you're looking for a podcast on how to parent, on how to be a perfect father and set the gold standard for father of the year, then this is not the cast for you. 
We're here for stories of "Dadding" gone wrong, to share life experiences so you can learn what NOT to do, and to share opinions on just about everything under the sun.  This is a podcast for being real, making dad jokes, and supporting other dads in a world that seems to have forgotten we're parents too. 
If you're into embarrassing parenting stories, punny jokes, arguments about how (not) to eat cheeseburgers, conspiracy theories, sports talk, ankle-breaking ass slaps and other less-than-serious topics to help pass the time, then this is the podcast for you. 
We're here to Go Dad Go!

Ep. 58 - Fight Night! Louis vs. McDonald's, Tom vs. Angry Beaver

New money-making hack: leave your children at a McDonald's while you go do...something. Follow us for more tips! While you wait to cash in, learn yourself about dad fails, angry non-euphemism beavers, dog attacks, and crazy facts. Also, don't order the hotcakes. Seriously, don't.

Ep. 57 - Dad Fail: If you're going to kill someone, do it right

Who is Cain Velasquez, why did he open fire into a pickup truck before chasing it for eleven miles, and why are we sort of happy he only received a five-year prison sentence with time served? We're also talking a little about Vore, mental health professionals identifying as turtles, and possibly the greatest traffic stop interaction of all time.

Ep. 56 - Engineers Do It Hard

Where else can you find a podcast that starts with sh*t and ends up talking about engineers and lawnmower purchases...and call centers...and pants turtles? Also, if you've ever wanted to feel sad for camels, Tom has you covered this week.

Ep. 55 - Dads and Taxes (and Baseball?)

Who knew taxes could be so fun? Just kidding, they still aren't. But they are weird when they apply (or don't) to baseballs, body parts, and breast implants. Also, Doug actually has a good idea for reforming property taxes? Shoutouts to Aaron Judge, Jude Law, quantum computing....and our apologies to Forest Whitaker. We love you.

Ep. 54 - Dad Fails, Navajo Legends, Poker, and Putin on a Horse!

Okay, maybe that last one is just a fun reference at the end. But this is in fact an episode with a little bit of everything. So kick back, relax, and learn more from our dad fails. Oh, and if you get a chance to come back to life, don't touch the stuffies!

Ep. 53 - Actual Dad Advice, Followed by Crappy Stories from Philly

What do half-eaten sandwiches, chasing waterfalls, HIV, and nightclub promotions all have in common? That's right - Philadelphia train station bathrooms (how did you know?). As if that isn't boring enough, add in potential pregnancy updates, poker, and the most eclectic Uber drivers you'll find. When you rate us, don't forget 5 stars!

Ep. 52 - The (Silk) Road Less Traveled

Ross Ulbricht (aka The Dread Pirate Roberts), the notorious mastermind behind the most infamous dark web marketplace, was pardoned by Trump. As usual, Tom and Doug have thoughts. What we didn't have (because we are dum-dums and forgot) was dad jokes, so let us make it up to you:
