We are once again joined by Melissa. Specifically, I wanted a woman's perspective on this not a rule.
While what I have to say in this episode is not a rule, this is all how I think it should be. But, since I will never get a majority of people to agree on these exceptional points, I can't make it an official Dad's Rule.

Sure, it starts off nice with a game of "Would you rather..." taken from the Icebreaker Deck by Best Self(not a sponsor), but the tangent is something fierce after that. We cover a little of everything from the Santa Clarita Diet, jumping in near freezing pools to please my clients in the Splash Program marketing system. (no extra syllable in Realtor).

Melissa felt a lot could go wrong.
She mentioned roller coasters. As long as they aren't the wooden spawn of satan ones, I am okay with that.

It is one thing to write your goals down and tuck them away to never be looked at again. A year from now, you sit down to go through the practice of writing them down again only to fall into the same trap.
