Ever-shifting gender and family roles have brought upon the rise of the “Stay at Home Dad,” or a father who is raising their child as the primary caregiver during the working day. While generations before us have become accustomed to the mother often finding herself on baby duty, more and more, dads are taking on the responsibility themselves.
While neither Brian or Andy are stay at home dads themselves, it’s a trend they haven’t let go unnoticed. On today’s episode of Millennial Dads, we dive into the rise in daily daytime dad duty, some of the reasons for that rise, and also our own experiences having to be the primary caregiver in the family, if only temporarily.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
