We Only Get 12 Good Years With Our Kids

In this episode, Nick and Marty open up about the messy, honest side of fatherhood — from trying not to repeat their own dads’ mistakes to quietly mourning who they used to be before kids. They get into why they’re suddenly obsessed with soaking up every moment, the awkward family run-ins that left them questioning what’s really normal, and why one simple fact about raising kids absolutely wrecked them. They also touch on how marriage plans fell together in ways neither expected, the weird relief of not caring about going out anymore, and why they feel lucky to be building all of this alongside lifelong friends.
