Parenting Status & Kid Count
The hosts compare notes on their children, with Dingo rearing three kids, Robbbie raising two boys and a girl under 10, and Tad fathering two daughters (9 and 5 years old). They discuss the genetic lottery of having twins versus singles, and light-heartedly debate whether men can be described as "brunette."
The Best Ages for Kids
The crew identifies 18 months as the perfect sweet spot for young children—cute, loving, and agreeable. Robbbie explains that as kids get older into the 3-10 year range, parenting becomes more enjoyable because they transform into actual companions you can hang out with and play sports alongside.
Why Kids Are Fundamentally Difficult
The hosts unite around a central truth: kids don't listen. Robbbie describes the exhaustion of repeating himself endlessly before resorting to yelling, while Dingo mentions his oldest was checked for hearing problems despite having perfect hearing—he's just "a dick." They conclude that children are inherently selfish and stubborn, making parenting a test of patience.
Female Adolescence & Growing Up Too Fast
Tad expresses concern that his 9-year-old daughter is trying to act like a teenager already, a trend the hosts attribute to modern times and increased access to technology. They discuss vaping among kids and the difficulty parents face in monitoring their children's activities and secret-keeping.
Would You Do It Again?
When asked if parenting is worth it on a scale of 0-10, Robbbie firmly states he's done and wouldn't have more kids. The hosts explore the hypothetical of starting over and choosing a child-free life, setting up deeper conversations to come about the true cost-benefit analysis of parenthood.
Kids are dicks. That's the thing. Kids are dicks. We're just getting back to it. Call a spade a spade.← All episode posts
