This week's drink that the Dads shared was an Alien Church IPA from the Tired Hands Brewing Company, with their start coming from the Philadelphia, PA area. This beer has a heavy 7% ABV with a full body, hopsy taste that isn't overwhelming. The Dads then transitioned to the weekly catch-up portion of the show. Rich's son Declan has now learned to ride a bike with two wheels -- we all know that accomplishing feeling. Meanwhile, Josh is counting down the days until his FL-based romance makes her appearance in NJ.

The show then transitions to the newly dubbed segment: Time to be an aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled January 2: Never Let Them See You Act Like This. Both Dads agree the significance of the reading and the profoundness it has, especially for Josh who has been going through some things recently. The show then progresses to the topic and the data dump.

One Fish Two Fish: Going from one child to a second, or more, is said to be the hardest leap. You’re now in a 1:1 ratio with your children at best. However, are there benefits to having multiple children for the betterment of the children, outside of just having built-in playmates? The other side of the token is exploring and navigating this modern world of dating with a child and the potential to make and start a new, blended, family. Delve with us into these questions as we try to explore them.

After some interesting dialogue and discussions about the situations the Dads have found themselves in with modelling behaviors and words to their children, the show progresses to their "Shit-uations".

Tonight's Shit-uations has Josh reading FMLs from FML.com. He really focused on some spicy and risque situations the posters have found themselves in.
