The guys talk about surviving sickness as a dad, the difference between how moms and dads handle being sick, toddler birthday parties, Disney trips, bedtime routines, discipline, and why parenting is really just trying to raise kids who still want to hang out with you when they’re older.

From Flu B taking TJ out, to Tripp’s upcoming birthday, to the great debate over whether a two-year-old needs a big party, this episode is full of funny, honest, and relatable dad-life moments.
