Two Dads Talking

Welcome to Just One Dad Talking. This week Doug is unavailable, but we love you all enough that we don't want to leave you without a weekly dose of Dadding. We've covered a LOT of ground over two years and 63 episodes; dreaming cephalopods, Charlie Weis being a say-nothing-mushmouth for millions of dollars, redshirting our kids, the deuce fairy, even the fantasy land Narnia (or was it Australia?). Today, Tom's giving an update from one topic covered in each episode.

We appreciate you, thanks for tuning in for two years, and a very special thank you to our Patrons. Enjoy this trip down memory lane, with updates on all things 2DT. 

If you survived last week's Snake Ducks, you're going to like this one. Have you ever heard of the Principality of Sealand? This place is amazing. In its short history, Sealand has riveting tales of pirates, a hostile coup, a daring helicopter rescue, and the Sovereign Prince Michael, who once captured his abductors and ransomed them back to their host nations. Seriously. 

This place is amazing, and it would fit in Tom's front yard! It's the world's smallest sovereign nation (eh), but made for an easy hour of conversation, laughs, and inspiration. See Tom's review of Sealand here, and if you leave one of your own with "2DT" somewhere in the text we'll enter you in a raffle for an Amazon gift card at the end of the month.

We're covering another crucial pop culture debate, 100 Men vs. a Gorilla. According to AI, " We navigate the ups and downs of this intricate debate—kicking off with a light-hearted banter about their previous episodes before diving into a remarkably detailed analysis of various combat scenarios. 

"Tom shares his deeper thoughts on military strategies, drawing parallels with historical guerrilla tactics, while Doug questions the feasibility and success rate of various strategies, ensuring the audience remains engaged. They cover the pros and cons of using different terrains to battle a gorilla, illustrating the unpredictability and humor that arises in such absurd scenarios." 

Yup, AI got it about right. 

We also go deep into a survey of Americans and Brits, curious about which animals people believe they COULD beat in a one on one fight.

Chapters (as labeled by AI, yes, we're really leaning into that this week to try things out): 

Remember the early episodes where we just kind of went EVERYWHERE? Today we're talking about Easter and the Pope, Doug humping a police car, Bonnie Blue (Yup, we're back on her like everyone else), a literal curse on American Presidents that may be a bit confused, and a 2DT-style debate about which movie was better, Moana or Frozen.

Our most heated discussion since Alabama vs IVF (Veni, Vidi, In-Vitro), this week we're talking about Elon Musk, DOGE, and ethics in government and oversight. How Dodgy is DOGE? Does Musk's conflict of interest Trump the potential for reform? We went long on this one, so buckle in for an argumentative, philosophical, ideological battle that lasted longer than Doug's bladder or Tom's patience. Go Dad Go.

If you're looking for a podcast on how to parent, on how to be a perfect father and set the gold standard for father of the year, then this is not the cast for you. 

We're here for stories of "Dadding" gone wrong, to share life experiences so you can learn what NOT to do, and to share opinions on just about everything under the sun.  This is a podcast for being real, making dad jokes, and supporting other dads in a world that seems to have forgotten we're parents too. 

If you're into embarrassing parenting stories, punny jokes, arguments about how (not) to eat cheeseburgers, conspiracy theories, sports talk, ankle-breaking ass slaps and other less-than-serious topics to help pass the time, then this is the podcast for you. 

We're here to Go Dad Go!
