Fit Dad Game Dad

Between trips to New York, Seattle, and an upcoming trek to Philadelphia, Brett reveals his most obscure travel plan yet: a flight to Indianapolis just to watch Christopher Nolan's next movie in one of the country's few remaining 70mm IMAX theaters (and maybe grab a NASCAR race and a state map sticker while he's at it). Because why watch a movie down the street when you can fly for fre...

First things first: Brett owes the audience a massive apology for dropping this month's episode on the 10th instead of the 1st! His computer completely broke down and had to be sent off to the Geniuses at Apple Care, which caused a major delay in getting the show posted. But hey—the 1st and the 10th are only different by a single digit, so mathematically speaking, it’s pretty much the same thi...

This month’s episode of Fit Dad, Game Dad starts innocently enough and immediately goes off the rails when Josh’s intro music detonates inside his brand‑new AirPods. That moment sets off a delicate chain reaction involving a medical shot, excessive bleeding, sacrificed pants, washed‑and‑deceased headphones, and an impulsive leap from Android back into the Apple ecosystem—where Josh now lives in a...

This month on  Fit Dad Game Dad , Josh calmly carries the emotional weight of employment uncertainty, wins most of the fitness categories, eats responsibly, and somehow still finds time to game like a disciplined, well-adjusted adult. Meanwhile, Brett buys a handgun, immediately concludes that decades of couch gaming have secretly made him an elite marksman, and spends the rest of the episode conf...

December saw the dads make up a lot of ground with their new daily point competition. Brett forgets to talk about gaming, but Josh saves the episode in the end. The dads conclude their third season by declaring a winner. Brett won season one, and Josh won season two. Listen to see who will take the lead and find out if the ultimate prize comes down to a game of rock, paper, scissors, or skillful n...

We're back after a break! Brett tries to make the argument that we have worked on our podcast every month because we recorded our last episode in September, released it in October. Then we recorded this episode on the last day in November and released it on the first day of December. Josh said Brett is full of it! For the rest of the episode the dads discuss what has been keeping them busy in...

Why did Josh and Brett wake up early to record this episode?

Brett shows up to work dressed as a six-foot human ruler, Josh is proud that Brett finally catches on to two years of ridiculous Riverside usernames, and the dads spiral into ADHD-fueled tangents about teenagers’ sketchy job choices, a scary family health update, and a curb-painting scam from Josh’s Boy Scout days. They review Assassin’s Creed Shadows (“too big for a full-time dad”), Star Wars Out...

That dads had to record this episode twice. They managed to cut the length of the episode in half the second time, but they weren't able to cut out any of the pre-pubescent boy humor. Listen in as they discuss plastic balls, instruction manuals and gaming glasses.

This episode was nearly lost in the woods...LITERALLY. The dads recorded their show LIVE as they hiked down a mountain for their co-op goal. Josh tripped halfway down and dropped his phone off the side of a cliff. Brett, inspired by the episode's discussion, bought a new cell phone the next day and lost half of his recording to cyberspace. Despite all the setbacks, the dads spliced together a show...

The dad's recorded this episode on Brett's 45th birthday: Friday, September 13th! This dark and morbidly themed episode centers around memory loss. The older the dads get, the worse their memories get. Josh didn't remember he'd been to the doctor for his knee twice, and Brett couldn't remember Frank's last name until he started typing this episode description - it's CRISP, Frank Crisp, and he's fi...

This summer has been a whirlwind for the dads. They have experience adventure, triumphs, setbacks and heartbreak. It's been so nuts they had to combine two month's worth of content into one episode. The resulting episode is...meh. So, come along if you want to hear about CrowdStrike misadventures, rambling book reviews, and untimely Olympic news. If not, at least stop in for Ed Placencia&#...
