Dads Take On The World

Join longtime buddies and fellow Dads; Dave and Matt as they take on the world, one humour packed rant at a time. In each episode they tee up topics in any three of their hilarious categories: things they love, things they hate, things their wives say, things they're afraid of, "alright let's do it!", and things they don't give a s*** about, all while racing the clock to keep the episodes under 45 minutes (and usually failing). Raising kids, providing for your families, and avoiding land mines from the wives is no easy feat, but to a Dad, it's just par for the course.This is Dads Take On The World.
