What’s the real male fantasy — locking shields and charging into a glorious last stand like the Spartans at Thermopylae… or just making it through another day of diapers, tantrums, and never-ending dad duties?
Brian and Dave explore why so many men are secretly addicted to the tragic romance of the “epic last stand” and how that fantasy can quietly sabotage the quiet, grinding work of actually being a good father and husband.
Shield wall? Sure.
More diapers? Hell no.
