Getting engaged is a big deal and from buying the ring to getting down on one knee often things don't go exactly to plan when you're going to propose (even though actually proposing can only take a couple of seconds).

As soon as you get engaged, one of the first questions people will ask is how you got proposed to. So we get Ryan's story on how he and his partner (TK) got engaged a few weeks ago while it's still fresh in his mind.

Matt and Kane also both share their stories on their own engagements and as usual each of the boys have a completely different story on one of their most special days.

We also discuss the 3 Cs of diamonds and buying a ring and how despite there sometimes being an expectation of engagement how it still genuinely seems a surprise when it happens and how nervous we still get.

It's a fun episode with lots of laughs and a bit of love.

Is the modern man a hunter or a gentleman? A manual labourer or a technophile? In today's culture the modern man usually is a mix of many things. The modern man must be adaptable.

Gender roles are changing and blending together and the stay-at-home dad or part time dad population is growing.

More fathers than ever are participating in their children's nurturing and upbringing.

The thing is that fathers and mothers come into the parenting process differently though. For the mother, the connection is biological. It's a part of her.

Fathering, on the other hand, is less so. Therefore, it's important for men to learn the skills they need to be a good dad. For some guys it's more intuitive, like kicking a football, but most guys need a coach or some direction.

DADDY EATS LAST discusses what it means to be a man and a father in modern society and all the issues that comes with both.
