This episode dives straight into the awkward collision between past dating life and dad life. I talk about why certain… names… used to be great, why having a kid changes everything, and how one innocent word can suddenly ruin the mood forever. From there, it spirals into nicknames gone wrong, Spanish honorifics I want no part of, and the two very specific situations where lying in a relationship is not only acceptable — it’s encouraged.

I get into honesty, ego, Christmas gifts, performance illusions, and why every guy quietly hopes his wife fakes enthusiasm sometimes. It’s blunt, self-roasting, and full of ridiculous honesty about how men and women talk, don’t talk, and pretend everything’s fine.

Highlights

• Why “daddy” hits different once you actually become one

• The Latina nickname situation that crossed a weird line

• The two lies every man is 100% okay with

• The truth about male confidence (spoiler: women built it)

• Why kindness sometimes is lying

• Childhood lessons, adult cluelessness, and Monster energy drinks
