The boys discuss modern fatherhood and staying fit despite endless responsibilities.

Plus, practical advice on fitting workouts into chaotic schedules and sourcing affordable protein without breaking the family budget. We're debunking the myth that fatherhood equals fitness failure; we can't let the dad bod come for us.
