Tom and Jerry open up about losing their dads, addiction in the family, and why the first holidays without someone you love can wreck you.They swap stories about fatherhood, lineage, and the quiet pressure of being “the one who handles it". It’s messy, honest, and weirdly healing exactly the kind of conversation we want you to send to the men you love.This episode is full of laughs, hard truths, and a reminder to keep traditions (and yourself) going. And if you need a new pod for your favorite guy, the Dude Dads want your follows and reviews.Listen to The Dude Dads here and Follow them for more!For full video episodes head to patreon.com/kaillowryThanks for supporting the show by checking out the sponsors!Hiya: for 50% off their best selling children’s vitamin head to hiyahealth.com/famousBoll And Branch: Now’s your chance to change the way you sleep with Boll and Branch.
