New year, same dads — but this time we’re keeping it short, sweet, and only moderately caffeinated.

In this episode, we’re ringing in 2026 the way all responsible parents do:
by pretending we can stay up until midnight while our kids demand snacks, sparkly hats, and that we replay the same Frozen song 19 times “because it’s New Year, Daddy.”

Jason kicks us off by declaring his longstanding war on New Year’s resolutions (he hasn’t made one since 2010 and is very proud of this streak). Nate, meanwhile, tries to convince the world — and apparently every business owner — that changing tables belong in men’s restrooms too. Justice for dads with diaper bags!

Then we get a little reflective as we talk about what 2026 means to us as a two‑dad family:
✨ The hopes
😬 The worries
😂 The joys that make us laugh even when we’re covered in slime or stepping on LEGOs barefoot
And the big dream for the year: more date nights than dentist appointments. Please.

We also chat about what’s ahead for the show — more guests, more parenting stories, more voices from families like ours, and maybe one or two surprises if we figure out how to record without someone’s child demanding a yogurt pouch.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Two Gay Dads without This Week in the Gay Agenda, where we dive into everything from the mass exodus from anti‑LGBTQ religious spaces to how 2026 might (finally!) bring relief and progress for trans people — plus a wild but true fact about who’s actually getting breast‑reduction surgery.

Finally, we wrap up with our favorite tradition:
What We Learned From Lizzy This Week, followed by a little holiday‑card wisdom to carry us into the year ahead.

Grab your confetti, your sparkling juice of choice, and your most reasonable resolution (like “survive January”) — and join us for Episode 7!
