    The Male Loneliness Epidemic and Four Tips To Start Beating It

    In this episode the dads kick off with a little catch up, a little April chatter, and then they'll discuss the parent’s funny tweets of the week about Spring.
    Then in this episode's Smart Articles by Smart People we go to the New York Times and PBS News Hour  and discuss why a growing number of American men say they are in a ‘friendship recession and why is it so hard for men to make close friends. We'll talk about our own experiences and look at tips on reversing the trend both personally and in group settings. A very important topic. Reconnection, longevity, and reestablishing or starting new friendships are all in play. 
    The guys will wrap back around and take a quick quiz on the season of spring and then finally wrap up with things that make them smile.
