In this episode of 2 Dads Gen X Edition, we dive deep into the hilarious and sometimes painful truth of going from six-pack abs to the dreaded dadbod. Join us as we explore body shaming from wives, girlfriends, and society, and how men’s body image and self-esteem have changed over the decades. With humor, honesty, and a touch of raw emotion, we tackle the struggles of modern fatherhood, divorce, dating, and loneliness, giving men a voice and helping women and kids better understand the male perspective. If you’re a Gen X dad—or love one—this is the real talk you’ve been waiting for.
