The fellas make a point to ask every guest a very specific question. "What's it like to walk in space?" So far, nobody has been able to answer with any type of authority. Today's guest, Chris Hadfield, finally puts an end to that streak. He's an astronaut, test pilot, author, musician, speaker, has collaborated with the Barenaked Ladies, and recorded a version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity" while IN SPACE. In this episode he discusses one of his most harrowing days in space and why he doesn't consider himself a thrillseker. He is also unanimously voted as Dadville's Resident Astronaut.

The fellas are using this week for some self reflection. Some might call it a check up from the neck up. In a strange twist, Jon takes the lead and offers up a handful of observations and reflections that aim to answer the following questions: Exactly why is Jon talking so much? Do you live in a palatial estate if you have seven smoke alarms? Could you combine a Roomba with a fireplace? Is youth passing me by (literally)? What gives you irrational confidence? What's the parent tax on pastries? Finally, Jon and Dave share their darkest (animal-related) fears and do their best to induce your anxiety with stories about misguided airport decisions.

This week in Dadville we caught up with Lawrence Guy, who is the defensive tackle for the New England Patriots. Naturally, Dave and Jon have a lot in common with Guy and they dive deep into what it takes to prepare for the playoffs, the difference between being hurt and injured, and the time he threw a baby shower for 40 single moms. Guy's work off the field is truly inspiring—which is why he's a nominee for this year's Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Thanks to our sponsors!
