Welcome to Just One Dad Talking. This week Doug is unavailable, but we love you all enough that we don't want to leave you without a weekly dose of Dadding. We've covered a LOT of ground over two years and 63 episodes; dreaming cephalopods, Charlie Weiss being a say-nothing-mushmouth for millions of dollars, redshirting our kids, the deuce fairy, even the fantasy land Narnia (or was it Australia?). Today, Tom's giving an update fro...
If you survived last week's Snake Ducks, you're going to like this one. Have you ever heard of the Principality of Sealand? This place is amazing. In its short history, Sealand has riveting tales of pirates, a hostile coup, a daring helicopter rescue, and the Sovereign Prince Michael, who once captured his abductors and ransomed them back to their host nations. Seriously.
This place is amazing, and it would fit in Tom's front yard...
We're covering another crucial pop culture debate, 100 Men vs. a Gorilla. According to AI, " We navigate the ups and downs of this intricate debate—kicking off with a light-hearted banter about their previous episodes before diving into a remarkably detailed analysis of various combat scenarios.
"Tom shares his deeper thoughts on military strategies, drawing parallels with historical guerrilla tactics, while Doug questions the fea...
Remember the early episodes where we just kind of went EVERYWHERE? Today we're talking about Easter and the Pope, Doug humping a police car, Bonnie Blue (Yup, we're back on her like everyone else), a literal curse on American Presidents that may be a bit confused, and a 2DT-style debate about which movie was better, Moana or Frozen.
Want some Mo' (ana) 2DT in your life? Check out the hours of bonus content on the 2DT Patreon.
Our most heated discussion since Alabama vs IVF (Veni, Vidi, In-Vitro), this week we're talking about Elon Musk, DOGE, and ethics in government and oversight. How Dodgy is DOGE? Does Musk's conflict of interest Trump the potential for reform? We went long on this one, so buckle in for an argumentative, philosophical, ideological battle that lasted longer than Doug's bladder or Tom's patience. Go Dad Go.
This week we have a special guest, Drunk Tom! In addition to our one-sided Tomocracy, we talk about the Jason Voorhees of elephants, butcher the last name of a national champion (sorry Paige!), trigger Tom on Dire Wolves being "de-extincted," and share "the worst thing we've ever done while drunk" stories.
Bring Yourself Back to Life with the 2DT Patreon and vote for Tom!

Who is Cain Velasquez, why did he open fire into a pickup truck before chasing it for eleven miles, and why are we sort of happy he only received a five-year prison sentence with time served? We're also talking a little about Vore, mental health professionals identifying as turtles, and possibly the greatest traffic stop interaction of all time.

Where else can you find a podcast that starts with sh*t and ends up talking about engineers and lawnmower purchases...and call centers...and pants turtles? Also, if you've ever wanted to feel sad for camels, Tom has you covered this week.

Who knew taxes could be so fun? Just kidding, they still aren't. But they are weird when they apply (or don't) to baseballs, body parts, and breast implants. Also, Doug actually has a good idea for reforming property taxes? Shoutouts to Aaron Judge, Jude Law, quantum computing....and our apologies to Forest Whitaker. We love you.
Join the 2DT Patreon and write it off as an emotional expense!
These links are taxing....
Okay, maybe that last one is just a fun reference at the end. But this is in fact an episode with a little bit of everything. So kick back, relax, and learn more from our dad fails. Oh, and if you get a chance to come back to life, don't touch the stuffies!

Ross Ulbricht (aka The Dread Pirate Roberts), the notorious mastermind behind the most infamous dark web marketplace, was pardoned by Trump. As usual, Tom and Doug have thoughts. What we didn't have (because we are dum-dums and forgot) was dad jokes, so let us make it up to you:
What do you call it when a blind person goes on the internet? The Dark Web
Sorry for the recent technical issues with getting new episodes out. Let the ...
We're going all in talking about the recent escapades of Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips. We go deep into who did it better, how integral fluffing is, and add a little bit of psychoanalysis to make Freud proud.
We're bound to do another gift card giveaway, but you have to join the 2DT Patreon to have a chance!

We've had a couple of controversial debates, but never anything quite like this. Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? Also, why your kids should NOT watch Gremlins, dirty Santa jokes, and Doug's internet makes the naughty list. We're taking a short vacation after this week, we'll see everyone in 2025. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals.

Steal your children's money and gamble it away, launder most of your income and hide it from the IRS, open a front Pizza shop that's too good to lay low, and fund interpretive art to spy on your enemies and undermine the Soviet zeitgeist.

There's a crazy (brilliant) (useless) (progressive) law being passed in Narnia...we mean Middle Earth...Neverland?...Australia! That's right, we're going back to the made-up land down under to talk about their recent plan to ban social media for kids under 16. And because we're not entirely sure Australia really exists (see episode 43 for more on that), we'll stumble down a rabbit hole or two and throw in our usual quota of Dad jok...
