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!

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.

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! But it all boils down to a simple question, really: how many listeners to Dear Old Dads should file for divorce? PLUS: patrons get an extra-long bonus segment at the end of this episode!

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. And later, in the patron-exclusive story, more unbelievable Curry household lore. What in the world is happening in Illinois...
