During this week's tape the Dads cracked a cold Dogfish Head Brewery, Citrus Squall. A heavier Double Golden Ale, this scrumptious beer is made from Grapefruit and blue agave nectar. After a shared love for the beer, the Dads shift to their weekly catch-up session. Rich talks about how he's an official licensed Realtor again and having the little ones becoming more and more unruly. Meanwhile, Josh's only news of the week is complaining, yet again, how boring work is *yawn*.

The show then transitions to the reading from Be Prepared: A Practical Handbook for New Dads. This week's reading is from pages 72-75 with a focus on the Return Back to Work. To all dads who have lived this, you know the heartache and the exhaustion this brings. The show progresses to the topic of the week.

I Did, Now I Don't -- Single-parent life is a clear adjustment from a life with both parents together and involved. Though the focus tonight will strictly be divorce, clearly a broken home in any capacity affects parents and children greatly. After some very intriguing information about divorce and even the failures of living together unmarried, the Dads have a one-sided interview about divorce and what life is like as a single-parent.

The Dads then transition to the re-dubbed 4th segment, now known as "Shit-uations", with Josh reading several posts from FML.com. After some stories to make you not feel as bad about yourself as what others have to live though, the Dads then give their social media a shout out.
