Should women keep the burden of birth control to themselves or should men go under the knife? In this weeks episode of PopSmack, Daddy Clay ask bloggers Jason Avant (dadcentric.com) and Nathan Thornburgh (dadwagon.com) the tough question, would you get a vasectomy? DadLabs EP 606.

Daddy Clay: Hey there, welcome to PopSmack. The show where daddies are popping off on the subject of the day. I'm joined by the guys from DadWagon and from DadCentric and the topic for today is vasectomy.
Daddy Clay: So guys welcome. I've got Nathan from DadWagon and Jason from DadCentric joining us on the show today. Guys thanks a lot for being here.
Nathan: You bet Clay.
Jason: Thanks for having us Clay.
Daddy Clay: So let's cut to the chase, let's get to the point, let's keep this cut short. So we're talking about vasectomy, and let's just start off by saying, I myself am still intact.
Jason: Vasdeferensly challenged I think is the PC term.
Daddy Clay: I was gonna say castrated. Is that not, that's not, they don't actually cut your balls totally off.
Jason: They don't cut your balls off. And I do believe that probably about 99.9% of American males are aware of this.
Daddy Clay: I guess the question of the day is - would you? Wouldn't you? Why or why not? And so Nathan let's start with you. What's your thinking on the subject, and will you or won't you?
Nathan: The more I think about it, it doesn't quite make sense for me. I have to say it seems like an extreme birth control method at a time when I'm not 18 anymore. Birth control just not the life or death issue that it used to be.
Daddy Clay: It just seems like that's using a bazooka to kill a fly.
Nathan: Vasectomy is a way or sort of bragging whether or not it's actually necessary. If you have a vasectomy clearly Jason, you are signaling to the world listen, we could get pregnant at any possible moment. I needed to do something drastic.
Daddy Clay: It's a little bit like bragging to say I gotta snip that vas deferens or I'm gonna be a Duggar for God's sakes.
Jason: You know birth control when you're married, let's face it, it's pretty one-sided. The wife at least in my household bears the burden of making sure that we didn't have kid number three. And having tried birth control pills and devices and things like that, the ladies do really bear the lions share. All we gotta do is a) put a raincoat on it or b) pull out and cross our fingers.
Daddy Clay: I'm gonna go ahead and say this, I know most men are probably afraid to admit this. I'm gonna go ahead and be brave here. I'm really thinking about my second wife. What if she wants kids? You know, anything can happen, I'm not saying we're having problems or anything but you know.
Nathan: Really, think about all the love children out there that you're avoiding if you actually could get this procedure done right?
Daddy Clay: I'm a long term planner. I got a long career ahead of me. Anything can happen. I'm totally kidding right now.
Nathan: The question for Jason, did you stash a little away just before the procedure, maybe send it to a freezer or something to start that beautiful new family somewhere else.
Jason: Well there's the stalactites that are hanging from my ceiling. No, I'm very realistic. I'm 40 years old. I don't want to burden my next wife with changing my baby's diapers as well as my own. So, two and out, I'm done.
Daddy Clay: Guys thanks a lot for coming in for PopSmack. This is our very first episode. We hope to do many of these, so let us know what you think. Any ideas or topic, you can send them to DadLabs.com, over at DadWagon, DadCentric. Let us know what you want to hear us popping off about here on PopSmack. We'll see you next time.
