Big Daddy Debrief

Kids EN ↓ 13 episodes

Welcome to Big Daddy Debrief, the weekly incident report from the front lines of fatherhood. Every week, I break down the dad wins, the dad fails, and the “what just happened?” moments that come with raising tiny humans. We’ll laugh at the chaos, unpack the lessons, and occasionally question how we were ever trusted with this much responsibility. Featuring honest conversations and hilarious stories from other dads who are also making it up as they go. Because nobody warned us… and we’re debriefing anyway.
