After nearly a year away, Josh and Steph return with their most raw, emotional episode yet. Both members of the unofficial “Dead Dads Club,” they share their very different but deeply connected journeys of losing their fathers — men who were loving, flawed, traumatizing, supportive, and complicated all at once.

Josh recounts the final phone call with his father, the redemption arc of his last year, and the bittersweet gift of closure. Steph opens up about the painful patterns with her own dad, the lingering grief for the father she wished she had, and how therapy reframed everything.

Despite the heavy themes, the episode remains unapologetically Unhinged Unicorns — full of dark humor, emotional support penises, and the kind of laughter that only comes from two best friends who refuse to process trauma quietly.

If you’ve ever struggled with parental relationships, grief, guilt, healing, or breaking generational cycles… this episode will meet you where you are.
