DaD 148 - The Games That Made Us - Part 1

<description>&lt;p&gt;A bit of a different topic this week as Ryan and Crofton share stories about times that they felt misunderstood for being a parent and advice on how to support your parent friends as they embark on a sometimes scary, always tiring, new journey. But before that Crofton has more to say on Hades II, while Ryan watches The Meg with Kayden and Peacemaker Season 2 by himself. All of this and one of the boys gets a new pet!
