This is first ever Rogue Dad, M.D. podcast.  This is a special interview, bringing on the guest that led to me penning a tweet that went viral across the internet, bringing him and me a brief 15-minutes of fame. 

In the spring of 2018 my oldest son performed an experiment on his mom and me to learn whether the tooth fairy is real.  He successfully tricked us and proved that she does not exist.  My subsequent tweet on the topic ended up being viewed by tens of millions and brought us a great deal of attention. 

In this interview we delve into the thinking that led to his experiment, uncover some new details I had not previously known, and discuss the implications of his findings in relation to other potential mythical creatures as well as his younger siblings.
