    It's another "Tom is sane despite all odds" episode! The dudes revisit a topic that Tom brought up in a previous episode about whether or not permission and support from parents are linked. If your parents let you do something (like join a school sports team), would that mean you could expect them to cheer you on at your games? What were the dads' experiences in their childhoods with this, and how do we want to show up for our kids with the things we've given them permission to do?
