This Father's Day, the Green Docs talk to renowned fertility specialist Dr. Ravi Gada about the often-neglected "other half of the equation": male fertility. In addition to "a guy's guide to getting pregnant," you'll hear about the latest trends in fertility care – from at-home testing using artificial intelligence, to how fertility labs protect growing embryos from the dangers of wildfire smoke. Oh, and there's some good news about jacuzzis and the boxers-briefs debate.

Nate and Bruce cover news of air conditioning being required in L.A. housing and a solar-powered boat that's keeping tons of trash out of the ocean! And, speaking of cajones, did you know that both Robert Dinero and Al Pacino are becoming fathers again- in their 80's? You'll also meet another Italian father, Nate's dad Dr. Gregg DeNicola, who talks about the Mediterranean diet, homegrown basil, and the joys of helping guys become first-time fathers.
