Summary

A group of men have some feelings, don't know what to do with them, and get everyone around them into a big mess. Sound familiar? We discuss Fargo, what me mean by "straight men", and the great Marge Gunderson with Clementine Ford.

You can find Clementine on Instagram here! And here is Big Sister Hotline!

Why Are Dads is a show in which hosts Sarah Marshall and Alex Steed attempt to understand what the hell it means to be the grown children of dads and other dad-like figures. And, as they do with all difficult subject matter, they do so by looking through a pop culture lens.

You can find us on TwitterInstagram and Patreon.

You can find producer and music director Carolyn Kendrick's music here. She's also on Twitter.

Fresh Lesh produces the beats for our episodes.

Our Liz Climo "You Are Good" merch can be found here!

Sarah Marshall. Hello. Alex steed. Hello. Welcome to Why Are Dads, which is a show where

0:13.6

we talk about feelings and emotions and often dads. Yeah. In the context of movies, some

0:21.6

people have seen. And we talk about what a dad is or could be and how to build a better

0:26.5

dad and what to do with with the dads that we have. Got to do something with them. Totally.

0:32.4

And in doing so, we sneakily make you think about yourself. Yeah. And sneakily make

0:38.2

each other think about ourselves also, which I think is what makes it fair. We're not just

0:43.8

trying to like force the listener to have feelings. We're also making each other have feelings.

0:49.6

This is the truth. We referred to this in today's episode as I think a virtual or digital

0:55.4

sleepover, which is how I think we've talked about the show in that context before, but

1:00.2

that's increasingly how I feel about this show. It's a slumber party. It helps that I always

1:04.4

have a blanket over my head. You sure do as you do. I'm like, let me tell you about

1:10.2

the little girl who fell into the paper mill, which is a real scary story I made up in

1:15.0

the second grade. Oh, let's get to that in a second. We have on the show today Clementine

1:20.3

Ford. And we are talking about the movie Fargo. And Clementine has been on the show before

1:25.4

she's an outspoken feminist in Australia, which is a continent. It is. And an island fun

1:33.5

fact. And in island. From a placement. And she then on the show before she's an author

1:40.2

of hotcaster. She's prolific on the visual social media. And we love her so much. Or so

1:46.3

glad that she came on. We do love her so much. And I feel as if our repeat guests are like

1:50.3

establishing beats at this point. And Clementine's beat is home associality. And I feel as

1:58.0
