Two Dads Talking

Both Dads took vacations this week (well, last month, we're a little behind on uploads). What was magical? What PTSD-inducing incident wasn't? Also, Tom lost the show notes for this one (he's on Fire, that guy...), so either Doug edits this post-publishing and fills them in or Tom owes you all a massive apology. While he doesn't remember EXACTLY what we talked about other than vacations, he's pretty sure there's a Bonnie Blue legal update (Hey John!), dad jokes, and a regrettable comment or two that are likely to get us in trouble with some oversensitive bubble-dweller tuning in from the parents' basement. Go Dad Go!!!

Whether you're a longtime listener, looking for a new podcast, or just want some dirt on Tom, this episode is your chance to get to know your co-hosting Daddy. What makes him tick? What does he bring to the show? And he accidentally did WHAT to his kids??? A great place to see if Two Dads Talking is for you, learn a little about why Tom is so screwed up, and feel better about yourself as a dad, enjoy the first edition of Who's Your Daddy.

Nothing makes Tom happier than flexing his Psychology muscles, and this week Doug gives him a long leash to talk about the Rosenhan Experiment and a couple of other psychological lessons learned. We talk about labeling, expectation and its impact on outcome, and of course Bonnie Blue (heeeey John!).

What's the best way to spend hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars earmarked for Narcotics investigations? Parlay bets on DraftKings, obviously. Also, Birds aren't real (Australia knows the feeling), a tear-jerking Dadfail at a birthday party, an odd paternity test ultimatum, our gamer secret, Bonnie Blue has news, and the earth may be flat?

Let's talk about Trump's potential Aliens reveal, why he's (maybe) going to do it, what happens after, and where we go from there. Tom also took a business trip to Key West (and you thought his Philly trips were wild), we've got an update for John (hey big guy), and we spend some time talking about false flags in the media. Oh, we also cross the line (time to get canceled). And someone pretends to be a dentist, performing root canals in her garage. At least, that's what we thought. Turns out it was a satirical article written for entertainment purposes only and we fell for it. Whoops, enjoy it anyway. Episode links below, please consider joining our Patreon to support the show!

The title pretty much says it all this week. Tom has an epic Dadfail (or at least it feels like one), Stairs are as evil as table corners, and Bonnie Blue is at it again (and again, and again, and again...). And of course we've got Dad Jokes and a smattering of other topics to distract us. 0:45 Welcome Back, Grumpy and Tired 2:06 Dadfail: Lice 8:20 Dad Fail Reflections 15:41 Stairs are Evil 20:46 Home Improvements and Procrastination 27:45 Pickle Puns and Office Shenanigans 33:26 The Controversial Baptism 43:03 Examining Publicity Stunts 54:32 The Curse of Bonnie Blue 57:16 Closing Dad Jokes and Reflections

We're back, baby! It's Doug's fault - he decided to have a surgery. So we talk about that, and dovetail into how it affects daily life and family. Tom also had a (near) Dad Fail, and a surprising bathroom encounter...no, those are not the same event. Also, pets and children are basically the same thing, right?

Remember way back in episode 16 when we talked about the Toy Box Killer, one of the sickest and most deranged serial killers in American History? Now imagine that motherf@cker runs a tourist attraction. Welcome to McKamey Manor, the legal torture chamber run by a sick sadist in Tennessee (but who's judging?). Billed as the scariest horror attraction in the US, there is an alleged cash prize for anyone who can make it through a 6-10 hour "immersive haunt experience." But what really happens at the manor? What happens when insiders reveal scams, crimes, and hidden footage? And why the f@ck hasn't Russ McKamey been gangbanged by a flock of angry Snakeducks yet? Also, on a less halloweenish subject, Tom gets Momsplained at a park and we tell dad jokes. Blah Blah Blah.

Meet Medium, Pranic Healer, and Akashic Record Reader Angie Welch. Angie is a full-time professional medium making a special appearance to talk Spirits, Ghosts, the difference between the two, and much more. A viewer of spirits since she was a child, Angie gives basic insight into what she does as a medium, what the Akashic Records could unlock for you (and why the Christian Bible supports this), and why you should NOT buy your kids a Ouija Board (okay Doug and Bridget, you're right, you win). Angie isn't just a practicing medium, she's also a teacher / coach, an artist, a healer and an occasional poker player (that last one seems unfair, right?). Want to learn more about Angie, or schedule a reading or Pranic healing session?

Every see a mom / dad with their kid and wonder, "which of you is the parent?" Let's talk a little about who's in control in the parent / child dynamic... Also, we had a tragic shooting in Dallas that was also bizarre and, not to be cold to the tragedy, ironic? We'll talk a little about Ian Roberts, and of course we have our Bonnie Blue update (no, she's not volunteering her time at Marineland Antibes yet).

So what do Newton, Einstein, Heinlein, Vonnegut and Doug have in common? Only time will tell. Doug makes his own landmark contribution to the philosophy of Time Theory, Tom gives an outline of our historical "understanding" of time, and EVERYONE needs to read Slaughterhouse 5. Also, Byron Black (not the tennis player) was recently executed in Tennessee. There's a lot of debate over whether or not he was tortured by the state on his "deathbed," so let's talk some ethics in capital punishment.

Ever heard of remote viewing? How about an interplanetary father skipping out on child support? Did you know Zeus was really a sex-offending prison warden who underwent history's most impressive rebrands? Get ready to learn all about Farsight, the only "scientific approach to remote viewing" that we know of. If you like this episode, remove viewing, or Farsight itself, you can subscribe and watch all of their videos at https://www.farsightprime.com/ If you just want our reaction videos (or to request we do reaction videos to specific content of theirs) join the 2DT Patreon and let us know.

Instead of talking about Farsight (like we planned), Tom selfishly derailed the conversation and monopolized it, complaining about our favorite non-sponsor, a vehicle crash with the best witness ever, and a parent using Autism as an excuse to, well, not be a parent (or a good hooman).

We've been out of commission for a few weeks, but Tom can (sort of) breath again and Doug is done vacationing (this month). We're regressing to our early episodes a little this week, covering a LOT of ground. Buckle up, we're explaining how health insurance bills providers, talking about bullies, introducing the One Big Beautiful Bill (Tom just gagged a little bit), becoming a worse spouse as a side effect of parenting, a real levitation device built in Denmark, our "two party" political system, and Tom's super-low standard for politicians to get his vote. Oh, we also tell boob jokes from Tom's Army days. Links from this week's episode: Brad Williams: I Bullied My Bully (did he start it? Or did he finish it?)
