Two Dads Talking

In this episode, we name names. No, seriously. Like should a child be able to sue his parents for being given a crappy name? What does a name do to your kids and their potential success? Who (if anyone) should be changing names after a marriage? And how important it really is to pick the right spouse. Also discussed for the pleasure of your earholes: Will Smith's marriage rant, shooting accuracy t...

You aren't ready for this one. We're talking about a real-life identity fraud case that went on for thirty years and incarcerated the VICTIM. We also want to introduce Master Sergeant GamblyFace, a man who bet hard against Venezuela and is now facing charges (and a bit of hypocrisy) after a $400,000 payday.  Bonus content: Tom got a BAD haircut, What if your spouse suddenly became a Flat Earther a...

Border protection takes a wild turn, women are obsessed with serial killers, Tom was attacked by a fire truck, and the hits just keep coming this week.  Links for perspective, context, and to prove we're not making this up:  Border Protection in India The "Traitor" story. Serial killer gets nailed (story) Serial killer gets nailed (video) Women want to nail this serial killer. Ice Cream and the go...

Disney is a lot like Australia (except it's real): We keep talking about it, it's a magical place full of strange imaginary creatures, and someone is Lion about it. This week we take Pride in the most recent Disney lawsuit, buckle in for a Tom / Doug argument just like the good ole days.  We also cover the epic history of the horse, Tom's daughters are asking tough questions (insert Dad fail here)...

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 p...

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 d...

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!).    The Rosenhan Experiment   Why Files: Liminal Spaces and the Backrooms     Follow us on social ch...

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?  Episode links below, please consider joining our...

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...

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:...

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?   No links this week, because Doug talked too much.   Get your 2DT swag here. Follow us...

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 a...

Halloween season continues! This week we're talking about a few urban legends you've probably never heard, ranging from Nigeria to Japan to the strange land of Virginia.

Looking to scare the crap out of your kid while they're on the...

Tom kicks off the Halloween season with this special bonus episode, diving into the origins of Halloween.  When did it start? What does it have to do with a Big Mac? Where do Jack O' Lanterns come from? And why do we bob for apples?  Tom covers all of this in an ODDD-style bonus episode just in time to kick off our Halloween programming. Get ready for three weeks of tricks and treats!  If you like...

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 A...

Welp, we went there... from Bonnie Blue to a crooked Judge to a Police Officer who doesn't understand probable cause (or doesn't care) to black market Orca semen. Yup, that's the journey we're taking you on today. You're welcome.  Links for the show:  https://www.carscoops.com/2025/08/former-u-s-attorney-falsely-arrested-for-dui-hits-back-at-trooper/ https://www.wpr.org/news/wisconsin-judge-mcginn...

How do you think your kids would handle an emergency? This week's journey includes Tom finding out exactly how his kids would do, a creepy story courtesy of The Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings, a controversial substance found in (nearly) every home, John Cena....and Dad Jokes. Always Dad Jokes.   The Antiquarium of Sinister Happenings - Lot 028 Dihydrogen Monoxide Research Division John Cena Pu...

In this episode we recorded weeks ago (yeah, we're that far behind). we talk about the Annunciation Church shooting and the responsibility of a parent for their children's actions (or lack thereof). There's also some finger pointing, some ethics debate, and of course Dad Jokes.  As always, you can sign up for the  2DT Patreon  for bonus content, including amazing Farsight reaction videos.  Get 2DT...

This one's exactly as it sounds. Ethan Guo,  a 19-year old American Influencer, violated his flight plan and flew to Antarctica. It didn't go well...  Also, we've affected foreign policy. Hail Sealand.  Show links:  https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ethan-guo-antarctica-unauthorized-flight-stranded/   As always, you can sign up for the 2DT Patreon for bonus content, including amazing Farsight reaction...

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...

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...

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). Make Tom feel better, get some 2DT swag here. Follow us on social channels using  Linktree , and email your feedba...

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 s...

In the spirit of this week's episode, we're going to be radically honest with our listeners. We don't remember recording this episode (seriously). We recorded about three weeks ago, then Tom got STUPIDLY sick and Doug embarked on a new job and a camping journey, and aside from Will Smith's interview about Radical Honesty we don't remember what we talked about.  Enjoy, hopefully we weren't terrible...
