    DOD146: Would You Kill 1 Trolley Problem To Save 2 Trolley Problems

    We've got a Reddit hypothetical that launches some great philosophical discussion regarding the push and pull of morality when our partners and kids would bear the sacrifice. We also discover Tom and Thomas are actually literal twins, and it freaks them out as much as it's bound to freak all of you out just reading it here.

    Very Famous TikToker Eli shared a video with Tom and Thomas, and the dads get into a discussion about how much physical affection is appropriate in front of your kids. What about in a public place where other kids may be? How much of this is just shaped by society at this particular point in time, and should that be challenged?

KelleyBooks ,

Very relatable….

I identify so strongly with Thomas when he talks about how difficult it is sometimes to manage personal feelings of stress vs making sure your kids are having a good time. Anytime I go out to do something with my kids, my biggest concern is that I’m not going to be able to handle whatever it is we’re doing. I feel like such a failure of a mom in those scenarios… so it’s validating to hear other parents talk about that struggle. Thanks dads!

Just as Fun for Us Non-Dads

I’m a childfree woman, and I still love this podcast. The way that at least on person throws the other two off completely every episode brings me immense joy. All three hosts have charm and chemistry between each other that makes me smile while listening.

30 grams of shrooms Tom?

Mr. McKenna was speaking of FRESH SHROOMS. That's around 7 grams dried. Trust me, it will take you off the planet. Especially todays strains.
