Although we all miss Eli in this episode, we have an incredible treat of a guest host: Cecil Cicirello! Cecil shares how he and his wife determined that childfree by choice was a good fit for them, and the dads get into childhood memories, being childfree and maintaining friendships with people who have children, and so much more. Plus an especially long patron-only segment at the end! Join the Facebook Group! facebook.com/groups/dearolddads For comments, email thedads@dearolddads.com
A number of listener emails have been coming in, so the dads tackle a couple of these, including navigating family dynamics of people being invited and not invited to wedding celebrations. And though we have yet to receive an update about Eli's suspected-totaled cars, we DO get a Haeley Health Update! Plus: a game that Thomas sucks at?! Tune in to the Patron bonus to hear how bad it was. Join the Facebook Group! facebook.com/groups/dearolddads For comments, email thedads@dearolddads.com
Well Eli had an absolutely surreal 12 hours immediately before recording, so the dudes get into it. At least we all have each other. Join the Facebook Group! facebook.com/groups/dearolddads For comments, email thedads@dearolddads.com
It's a belated Father's Day round table! Plus, a listener question about a nephew who needs way more intervention than is being offered by their parents, and the dads chime in with what they would do if faced with a similar situation. For patrons only: Eli's kindest friend really stepped in it when taking a stab at a joke recently and Eli is beside himself with glee.

The dads work through listener emails. How many exactly? A NEW UNBEATABLE DADS RECORD. You'll have to tune in to find out!

Tom threw a birthday party for Eamon and the chaos that ensued is quite literally unbelievable. We're not sure if Tom has actually recovered from this yet.
