Dear Old Dads

Thomas's friends are divorcing, and hearing the details hits a little too close to home. The dads dig into what it really means when someone can't stop making their partner feel small, whether people can actually change, and what it says about you when a friend's failing marriage makes you quietly wonder about your own.

It's another "Tom is sane despite all odds" episode! The dudes revisit a topic that Tom brought up in a previous episode about whether or not permission and support from parents are linked.
