Dads Talkin' Football

The DADS put the 2024 season to bed by holding their annual draft of their favorite moments/plays/storylines of the season. We also bring Tommy back and get his feedback on how the Chiefs's season came crashing down. And we also get into some recent free agent moves. Sit back, relax, crack a cold one, and enjoy responsibly. Bear Down, Bolt Up, Niners Nation

The Dads are back to recap Super Bowl LIX, which includes praise for Chris's SB Party and the Halftime Show, and the disappointment around the actual game itself. Cheers! Bear Down Bolt Up Niners Nation

The DADS are back from their BYE week and give their bold takes and predictions for the upcoming Super Bowl featuring the back-to-back champ Chiefs and Eagles. Cheers! Bear Down, Bolt Up, Niners Nation

Thanks for listening to the DADS as we break down the four Divisional matches last week and preview the AFC and NFC Championship games. We also listen to a new voicemail, discuss the Bears' new coach Ben Johnson, and explain how showering with 2 minutes left in a playoff game is not the best practice. Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation

The DADS are back in the bunker and we finally get to bring on and reveal the show's *mostly Mel* villain: Tommy. After his appearance, we get back to recapping Wild Card weekend and then focus most of our energy on the Divisional Round coming up. Cheers fam! Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation!

Welcome back after the hiatus of the holidays! The Dads are back, and we got a voicemail from our #1 listener. We also pay our respects to the 2024 49ers and Bears before turning our attention the six playoff games this weekend. Get in your Goon cave and crank up the Dads!! Bear Down and BOLT UP, Niners Nation

Mel is on another bye week, maybe scared of the pending arrival of Tommy, the pod's newest villain! But Chris and Jim are present to break down the beatdown from the Niners last weekend. We also talk about the Dan Campbell effect and how punting just isn't cool anymore. Enjoy! Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation!

Thank you for listening to the Dads! We give Mel center stage as his team is the last team playing for something, but spend the most of the pod breaking down the AFC and NFC Wild Card contenders. We also give thanks to the bye week before and cover what we did on Thanksgiving. We also explore the idea of fear boners and tease the upcoming Bears NIners match this week where Jim and Chris put some s...

Mel and Jim take on primary hosting duties in this one, breaking down our teams' games and concentrating more on the BILLS and STEELERS victories. Addl. commentary on Thanksgiving plans, Mel prepping for a visit to SoFi, and Mike Tyson's cake. Enjoy! Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation

We got the full trio of Dads back in the bunker for this supersized episode covering Week 10 of the NFL. We go a little longer on this one as we obviously missed each other and went on a number of entertaining side conversations and NFL rumors and theories. We hope to leg out the rest of the season after the BYE - thank you as always for listening! Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation

It's Jim and Chris ridin' dirty in the bunker again as Mel's bye week has transformed into a sabbatical. The Bears v Commanders game of the week takes center stage in the pod before we cover the Niners win over Dallas, the Chargers victory over the Saints, and then check-ins on all other action. We wrap the episode up with our mid-season awards and callouts, including a bold and fiery zinger from...

It's Jim and Chris ridin' dirty again in this episode, and boy do we get dirty! Everything from DAdvice on relationships, being nice to all the girls in class, and awaiting Jameis Winston... the MEME Machine. Sit back, relax, and enjoy responsibly. Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation

Chris has ventured his way back from multiple work trips to grace us with his presence for the episode. Mel is out this time but Jim and Chris are able to break down the three main games, all victories, before touching on other major storylines. Bear Down and Bolt Up, Niners Nation!

It's just Jim and Mel again for this episode as Chris is still licking his wounds from back to back Niners losses. But we will welcome him back with arms wide open when he's ready... We also break down the first head coach of the season to be fired, the way we're still rooting for the 1-4 Bengals, and the rise of the Bears. Bear down and Bolt up, Niners Nation!!

No Chris til next week, but Mel is back in the bunker with Jimbo and it's some good shootin' sh*t. Breakdowns of the Bears, Chargers, and Niners games + discussions on other storylines as we put Week 4 of the season in the rearview. Want us to talk more about your teams and their games?

This is the first episode ever where we only have one host. Chris and Mel are out but Jim is carrying the torch for the trio. We cover Week 3 in full - highlighting more on Da Bears, Chargers, and Niners. There are some hot takes, red flags, but wrapped up neatly with Jim telling his experience coaching Pop Warner 10U football with his son. Now with added sound effects! Enjoy!

Week 2 in the NFL was a wild and crazy ride. We saw upsets, QBs being benched, a multitude of injuries, and many many field goals. This season is as unique as we were hoping for. ENJOY!

The Dads are back from the end of the 2023 Season and it feels so good to be back in the bunker. For the first time in our short storied career, all three of our teams (Bears, Bolts, Niners) are all undefeated after Week 1. We quickly recap the year prior, offer insights on other developing storylines, and finish off by going on the record with who we each believe will be the final teams standing...

Think of this as an open mic segment for the Dads. We cover the highs of Super Bowl Sunday, specifically Chris's epic party, the behavior of our kids at the party, and the Halftime show. But Chris gives equal attention to the downside... how the game ended. This one is raw, but kudos to the Dads for keepin it real and bringing it from the modern perspective.

The second half of our supersized Super Bowl preview is all about the food and refreshments at our ideal Super Bowl parties. Listen as the DADS draft against each other to fulfill a main dish, side, snack, dessert, and a beverage. We dare you to not be hungry after this one... Cheers and good luck to the Niners!!

This Super-Sized Super Bowl preview episode is so big, we had to cut it in half. Enjoy the back and forth excitement and anticipation from the DADS as we hear how Niners Camp is doing to prepare for their big day against the surging Chiefs. Chris also gives an in-depth preview of his party and expectations on how to deal with him at said party. Mel then provides many Prop Bets and Parent Prop Bets...

We have our full crew tonight and get full breakdowns on both the AFC and NFC championship games. Jim also gets detailed about how his wife is motivating him at home with a sticker chart. Saving all the big Super Bowl LVIII preview til the next episode but this one still hits. Enjoy!

Mr. Chris is out for this one, but Mr. Mel and Jim step it up to recap each of the four great games (well three and a half) from Divisional Round week and then preview the Final Four teams. Not too many hot takes, but definitely need to listen in on how Jim is mourning Josh Allen but is happy to rebound with Jason Kelce... in pickup basketball, you sickos.

The full trio of Dads are in the bunker as Chris is off his BYE week and gives us a full update of what the Niners are doing to prepare for the Pack. We also rehash the crazy upsets from Wild Card Weekend before going full conspiracy mode as to what could prevent the Bills from beating the Chiefs this weekend. Enjoy it and good luck to your team if you're still in it!

Mr. Chris is out sick but Mel and Jim lead our listeners over a number of topics that have shaken up the NFL landscape as the regular season comes to a close. Listen in and get ready for quick, rapid-fire questions and answers, and possibly the best take on this pod, ever. Brought to you by Mr. Mel around the 41:20 mark. Let us know what you think! Cheers and good luck if your team is playing this...
