Your Two Dads

Back again with another match from round 1. This one was tough. The winner all comes down to a mistake. Find out what I mean when a #2 seed Carl Winslow from Family Matters takes on a #3 seed Mufasa from the Lion King. Or as I called him in the first take, Mustafa. I got the Ali on my mind. Follow along as we find out Pop Culture's Best Dad! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informat...

This week I talked to Army Veteran, published Author, former D.C. press secretary, and all-around great Dad: Jeff Nelligan. Jeff did not disappoint when it came to providing that great Daddy Content we all love so much. We talked about how to raise confident, self-reliant children. We discussed how to instill a resilient nature in your children. We even give you the secret to your child's future s...

It's the start of the New Year and (coincidentally) the start of Season 2!! HORNS! CONFETTI! APPLAUSE!! *Use the Power of Imagination* It's appropriate that this episode is just Dan and I shooting the breeze (impossible to do safely btw) and bringing you a little bit of learning and a whole lot of laughing. This time we talked about keeping that dreaded work/life balance. After that stick around a...

I whet your appetite and now I'm back with some ear food. Round 1 of the 1st Pop Culture Dad Tournament is #4 seed Darth Vader taking on #1 seed Ned Flanders. It was... a good first start. See which of these two famous Fathers came out on top. Did Vader force choke Ned with his fatherly successes or did Ned take down that high-diddly doodler of evil deeds? The answer awaits you at the end of the e...

Welcome to the last episode of season 1 Daddios. This was was true blue Veteran Dad through and through. Life has been hard for Air Force retiree Chris Reynolds but he is a man among men. We talked about some heavy topics this episode. Sometimes we dip our toe in darkness and tragedy, but this time we went in up to our knees. Chris started off with his childhood history of being adopted at birth b...

Hey Daddies. This episode is the start of something that's just for the laughs. I've put together a tournament of the best dads from across pop culture. Comics, movies, etc. This is an intro to the idea, the entrants, and their tourney seeding. I look forward to feedback through any of the usual routes. Send your thoughts, ideas, or suggestions for future dad entrants. Hope you enjoy! Hosted on Ac...

Welcome back folks! This one is stuffed full of father sir. We talked to Travis Partington from the Oscar Mike Radio podcast. He's a Marine Veteran and Father out there making the world a better place with his show and outreach work. We hit all of the high notes this time. Interested in Marine stuff? Check. Anti-aircraft missile systems? Check. Being a better Dad? Check Check. We even managed to t...

We're back again with another triple threat guest. He's a veteran, a dad, AND one of the hottest new writers on the market. Jason Meuschke learned us up on quite a few things this interview. We discussed the complexities of going from Navy Seaman to stay-at-home dad. Jason also taught us the secrets to writing great novels. I can't tell you here, but the secret is there to be found. Check out Jaso...

This is the start of a mini-series on mental toughness. How to get it. Why you might not have it. How to pass it on to your kids. We'll be covering it all with a mix of new guests and old favorites. These have that same old humor, but do get pretty intense. Prepare yourself for some true Daddy Honesty. By the end of this series we'll be well on our way to being psychologically tougher. Have you li...

Dan and I are back again with more Daddy goodness! This time we dove into the tough topics. We started strong with how we're introducing our kids to their... ahem, biology. It's a toucy subject for someone that still says peepee and poopoo. After that, we got into everyone's favorite childhood stage-when your child starts questioning you. So much fun for you and me. We spend a brief moment laughin...

Going Old School is still cool right? The kids still say that, I think. Which makes me cool for saying we went old school this week baby! Just me and Dan again. Like a warm blanket right out of the dryer. You love it and we love giving it to ya. Wait... Anyway. We talked about how we're succeeding, or not, at feeding our kids nutritious meals. That was good enough that we probably could have stopp...

We're back again with another Veteran Dad. Our Dad show is growing up. Helping the two people that want it the least. Veterans and Dads. Such a big boy. I'm so proud of you podcast. Your work is cut out for you. This week we spoke to the very busy Dustin Hayes. Dustin splits his time between being a father, running his coffee company Red, White, and Badass Brew, and his podcast CCAB (Coffee, Conve...

Well hey everybody! Hey. Quick question. How do Lebron James and JJ Watt stay at the top of their game? Napping!! We dug talking about sleeping and talking to veterans so much that we combined the two and talked to an Air Force veteran that is also a Certified Sleep Expert. More sleeping you say? Hell yes I say! Napping while my son naps is one of the highlights of my day. Don't take this away fro...

It's a hard knock life, for us dads but you always have Wednesday to look forward to! Take a break from that pressure-filled day and listen as we put another Dad from the Armed Forces under the lights and grilled him for all the info that we could get. Jack Robertson was another victory in our war against dad isolationism. We're bringing ALL of them together. One giant family. I'm talking to you l...

Hey everybody! It's actually not the same old song Dad, because we have an all new, original guest! Thaaaat's right! Ross Yerger is an ex-secret service member, an adoptive father to a teenage son, and a jack of all things podcasting. He talks financial trading on The Doggy Traders. He talks politics on his show Up the Middle. He's even doing a radio show with Yergz Tonight. He's so busy that I th...

Do you want to know EVERYTHING about sleep!? Me too! That's a different show. What we did do was start that journey by interviewing Father and Sleep Coach Andrew Bradley. He's the founder of TheSleep. Pro and he's helping men improve their health, wealth, and happiness through an increased focus on, you guessed it, dentistry. No! Sleep!! Are you doing it right? Listen here to find out! If you're n...

Welcome to an extra special episode! We interviewed our very first listener this time. I feel like he deserves a gift for taking a chance. Caleb Potts doesn't have a podcast or a book or a motivational career but he is still an inspiration. This single dad has been through almost everything that life can throw at you and he's still going strong and being an awesome dad to two kids. This time aroun...

Howzit Dads? The interview this week was with a dad that could easily be a co-host on the show. Todd Poor is a good old boy from Oklahoma. Before this interview, I thought we only had those in the south. He brought the fatherly wisdom AND the funny this time around. We talked about his podcast The Toke and Muddle Podcast and how hard it is to promote yourself when you're starting out. Todd talked...

Hey Dads. This week we spoke with an amazingly wise father by the name of Jesse Sweed. Jesse's program "A Parent Leadership" is so helpful to parents that I subscribed to it myself. His regular email correspondence is actually a series of personal stories that are always a great way to start the day with some positive parental analysis. I highly recommend it and it's FREE. Jesse gave us and our li...

Hey Dads! This time we talk to AC Bergen-Fischer. He hosts the In The Blood Podcast and co-hosts The Estranged Heart Podcast. AC continues our streak of awesome fathers and we're all smarter for having talked to him. We talked all about the fragility of familial relationships and the effort that is needed to keep those relationships healthy. We went deep on connecting to and understanding your chi...

Lonely is the Dad. When he's parenting alone. He's feeling kinda sad. And his time is not his own. Lonely is the Dad. When there's no one left to call. The baby's kinda mad. See the writing's on the wall. Yeah... It's a full house this week as your three Digital Daddies go teacher mode and discuss and debate the 4 Parenting Styles. Things did not go quite as I expected. Wisdom and laughs abound. M...

This week we talked to the super friendly Victor Antunez from down Miami way. Victor is a real estate agent and the author of The Autism and Special Needs Family Relocation Blueprint. He is the father of an autistic daughter and we really dove into the deep end when it comes to raising and relating to an autistic child. Victor gave us all of his tips and tricks to make things easier for any other...

This time around our awesome guest, Glen Jackson, had a bit of an audio issue. Will you notice you? I don't know. That being the case, I'm releasing this as a bonus UNEDITED episode. It's literally the only one in the backlog. My self-esteem typically isn't high enough for risks like this. Glen runs things over at the Nite-Lite Studio, producing multiple entertaining shows such as Para OR Normal G...

We were all over the place with this one, Daddy-maniacs. The dad we spoke to this time was the one and only Bobby Doll from the Caffeineated Cryptid podcast. He's a wise oldish father of 3 daughters that schooled us on a great many things. He learned us up on Bigfoot. He taught us some helpful tips about getting your kids to go to bed at night. He tells us the problem with The Goonies. I'm realizi...

We've got another Friday Night Special (on a Sunday) for ya. This time, Dan and I dove into a couple of topics that are hitting us both at the same time. We talked about socializing your kids and how much you need to worry about that. We followed that up with a little complaining about how we're always stepping on toys. I swear there was a firefight. Did you enjoy my Dad of the Week segment? Good,...
