In this episode, the dads dive headfirst into a lively, honest conversation about one of the most quietly controversial topics in modern fatherhood: Do dads deserve a social life? What starts as a playful jab quickly turns into a deep reflection on guilt, communication, personal growth, and what it means to make space for friendships while balancing family responsibilities.

From beer-league hockey to post-meeting beers, planned golf trips to passive-aggressive partner reactions, the guys unpack how different their lives and perspectives have become. They get real about insecurities, communication breakdowns, and how they’ve evolved as men, friends, and partners.

Episode Highlights:

• Defining what a "dad social life" really means
• Why guilt and apathy hold so many fathers back
• The power of clear, honest communication in relationships
• The difference between dad and mom guilt
• How to honor your calendar without letting go of what matters
• Vulnerability, insecurity, and personal growth in mid-life

👊 Funny. Thoughtful. Unfiltered. It's a conversation every grown ass dad (and their partner) needs to hear.
