Big Daddy Fitz has slept about two hours in the last five days with his brand new twins. Fitz can’t believe Drew has never been to Summer Camp. In the What Are You Kidding Me stories, a bride didn’t know she was mic’d up in her wedding video and leaned over to the groom to tell him she just took a dump, a guy boarding a plane dropped his duffle bag and a bunch of snakes inside escaped, a guy picks up his Jeep from a mechanic’s shop and finds it full of sand and parking tickets, and a guy admitted to a hospital for respiratory failure sets the bed on fire to get himself out.

Fitz has stats on how much work women actually do around the house and it’s a lot. With his wife in the hospital Fitz is doing some “Man Stuff” to provide for her, like hooking up the Roku in her hospital room, so Drew tells Fitz he may play Drew’s “He’s A Man” music for himself, but just this once.
