Two dads. Two completely different paths to fatherhood. And all the stuff nobody warns you about.

Daddies is a new podcast from Man of Many, hosted by Rob Stott, Editor-in-Chief of Man of Many, raising a daughter with his husband via surrogacy, and Marcus Hurley, a single dad navigating co-parenting.

This isn't a tips-and-tricks parenting show. Nobody here is going to tell you how to raise your kids. Each episode takes a piece of modern life; fitness, friendships, work, money, identity, guilt,

00:46For some reason, I'm picturing a really big kind of...
00:49Turkey baster?
00:50Yes.
00:50Yeah. Isn't it weird to think, like, I have a three-year-old, you have a four-year-old.
00:53They still might not remember any of the stuff we're doing for them right now.
00:56Which is the argument going, why are we spending so much money on these?
00:59Why even bother?
01:00Disney on ice. $75 for an Elsa blonde.
01:03I think the one thing that I landed on was the fact that there will now be another man in
01:09my daughter's life.
01:10The inevitable question that will come for us is, like, Dad, why don't I have a mum?
01:16Yes. I've always wanted to say like and subscribe, so like and subscribe.
01:20We've been Daddies.
01:21We've been Daddies.
01:22And you've been great.
