Dads I'd Like To Friend
In this episode, we’re celebrating dads for Father’s Day by talking about iconic DILFs…Dads I’d like to FRIEND (even though some of ya’ll got that twisted!). From the shadow daddies quietly carrying entire storylines from the background to the chaotic father figures doing their best with varying levels of success, we’re honoring the full spectrum of paternal excellence. Whether you want to friend, or ‘friends to lovers’ them, we’re giving flowers to the dads who shaped pop culture.
