## Resource

A recent NYT article discussed a study outlining the impact of cellphone bans in school. The dads chat about those results, and get into a number of tangents, such as age verification. Then, in the bonus exclusive to patrons, Thomas lays out one of the weirdest medical relationships (his doctor) he's ever been in.
