We join the Dads this week over an icy cold Kane Brewing beer, specifically the Kane Brewing Head High IPA. After a mutual love for the beer, the show shifts to the weekly catch-up, where Josh goes on and on about how work is busy and blah blah blah...meanwhile, Rich actually saw progress in his yard (about damn time) and then proceeds to brag about how he beat his brother-in-law and Josh in golf. He left out how they golfed from the senior tees so the joke's on them.

The Dads then dive into their bit from Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dadsby Gary Greenberg and Jeannie Hayden. This week's reading is on page 34 and focuses on the troubles of the first-month-slump -- a befitting section as the show turns a month old at the time of recording! The show then transitions to the topic of the show.

Daddy Daycare – stay-at-home parenting; the difficulties and the benefits of being a stay at home parent and what it’s like to be a stay at home dad in the eyes of society. With a slew of information, data and stats, the Dads then exchange in some interesting discussions and questions. The show comes to a resolution which focuses on how we as parents need not to worry about the perspective of society but rather the perspective of our children - no matter a stay-at-home parent or a working parent.

The Dads then transition to "Dear Internet, Meet Dad" with Josh reading several posts from FML.com. After a light laugh, the Dads then give their social media a shout out.
