13. ’Heirs To The Jelly Throne’ - Friends in a Dad’s World

What are friends to dads?

A scientist once said that "men over 50 only have like, 2 friends." In this episode, we find out whether or not this is true, by examining our dads' various friendships throughout the years. From Alvin's reluctant palling around with a shirtless sofa salesman and a swimming instructor who spear-tackled an old woman, to Kev's glory days with the 'king of the plumbers' and a man who used to wear a McDonald's uniform to play golf. We also look at tales from the current friend rosters of our dads - Alvin attending a gay wedding and exchanging memes with a naughty vicar, Kev getting free tickets to watch the Newport-Gwent Dragons in the royal box (which is more of a hut, really). Finally, we explore the concept of having friends as a dad - do all dads meet their friends through their wives' friends? Do you have much of a choice who you're friends with as a parent? Will we still have as many friends when we're dads? Also, Joe gets on a roll at one point with a couple of "jokes."

Got a dad story for us?
