·1 hr 54 min·5 clips

Willie One Shelf admits he got key facts wrong about his daughter Rue's seizure story after his wife's 'after pod report'.

The episode opens with host Willie One Shelf addressing a correction from his wife regarding a previous story about his daughter Rue having a seizure; he had misremembered her age and details. Co-host Sherm joins, and they discuss the show's growth, hitting 50,000 Instagram followers. They pose a question from the last episode: 'What's the hardest part of parenthood?' and read listener emails. Responses highlight themes like watching children grow up, the fear of not doing it right, and dealing with health issues like type 1 diabetes. Willie shares a poignant moment where his three-year-old daughter Rue asks if he's sad she's turning three, leading to a discussion on the bittersweet nature of parenting. The hosts then read their first hate mail from a Spotify user who calls the podcast 'dumb Call of Duty, sport betting, bro talk,' which they laugh off as accurate but not for everyone. They shift to celebrating new dads in their community, reading shout-outs and congratulations. A segment on preparing for a snowstorm in Nashville includes tips on sleds, snowmen, and winterizing homes. The episode also touches on topics like Valentine's Day plans, new merchandise, a babysitter success story, and seeing 'Zootopia 2.' Throughout, the tone is casual, humorous, and vulnerable, emphasizing community and shared experiences among fathers.
