In honor of Father’s Day, Doug pays tribute to the women who made us fathers.

Listener questions and comments:

• Christine - I had the most optimistic father of all time. He used to say 'when you come from nothing, you appreciate everything'. (23:28)
• Constantine - My mother was not supposed to make it in childbirth and neither was I but I lived and she did too. I was able to tell my dad I loved him on the day of his death. (28:06)
• Caesar - I grew up in a Catholic family and my dad was sure we were brought up as good Catholic men. (4:34)
