Try to transport yourself back to the months before you became a dad. What did the word "fatherhood" mean to you? Prior to kids, your definition may have been colored by your relationship with your own father. Would your current definition of "fatherhood" be different? Modern Dadhood welcomes Thyge Trimble, father of two, and Editor in Chief of Fatherly, to chat about his team's new book, aptly titled "Fatherhood." The book has something for everyone—whether you're a dad-to-be or a seasoned professional. Also, things get dark in a new installment of "Confessions."

Modern Dadhood Episode 56 opens with reflections on Marc and Adam's preparedness to become fathers, which includes far more than learning how to change a diaper or do a proper swaddle. The guys discuss relationships with their spouses, family values, and pushing forward when times get tough. The conversation is inspired by a new book from the editors of Fatherly entitled "Fatherhood: A Comprehensive Guide to Birth, Budgeting, Finding Flow, and Becoming a Happy Parent." Tyghe Trimble, a New York City-based dad of two and Editor in Chief of Fatherly, joins the conversation to chat about some of the topics in the book and why it's a valuable read for ALL dads. Topics include:

•  What exactly an "Editor in Chief" does
•  Why (and when) communication with your spouse can be hard
•  The value of shared values
•  The unique structure of the book "Fatherhood"
•  A staggering statistic around new fathers' social lives
•  The profound importance and many benefits of roughhousing

The guys get their "Confessions" on... and Marc takes things to a dark and hilarious place.
