Does anyone even read these? Let me know. This is a tesssssst. Let me know @EatMoreTinyTrees on IG.

In this episode, the Hot Dad Radio crew gets meta—like, Sims-level meta. Josh, Derek, and Ryan dive into the art of capturing fleeting thoughts and turning them into something more permanent: soft paper to hard drive, voice to transcript to prompts. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how ideas become content in the Hot Dad universe. We also wax philosophical about how life feels a lot like The Sims—...

*The New Avengers What if your favorite Marvel villains got bored of being evil and tried playing hero instead... and actually started liking it? In this thunderously chaotic episode of Noodling with Josh, we dive helmet-first into the gloriously messy history of Marvel’s most morally confused superteam: The Thunderbolts. From their shocking 1997 debut—where they tricked the entire Marvel Universe...

So I'm not in the business of holding on to content; I love to record, publish, and learn based on feedback. This is an older episode, as in last week, not because I was holding onto it for any precious reason, but I truly forgot to press upload. SOOO, there's a chance it's already out of date by the time you listen...but hey, still need that feedback - LMK HMU PLZ BB! @EatMoreTinyTrees @HotDadRad...

*we were legally required to put this. In this sprawling, laughter-filled episode of HotDadRadio, the crew dives into everything from childhood sports trauma to scuba mishaps and suspect cranberry-sauce alibis. Derek opens up about cosmetic procedures, Ryan praises Detroit, and Matthew unknowingly crashes the recording with some morbid deep-sea tales and improvised voice impressions. Expect a wild...

In this episode of Noodlin’ with Josh, we dive deep into the weirdly intimate relationship between a person and their workspace. Josh opens up about the joys and hazards of life spent behind multiple monitors, light stands, microphones, and an apartment floor that’s slowly surrendering to his sitting habits. It’s part ergonomics rant, part love letter to his highly customized home studio—and part...

Noodlin' on Interviews, or "Help, I’m Unemployed (and Other Interview Adventures)" Hey friends, welcome back to Noodlin’ with Josh! Today's episode is one part job hunt therapy session, one part AI love letter, and all parts honest reflection on surviving the interview process. After my mom’s gentle nudge ("you should do more of those podcast things"), here I am—filling up terabytes of cloud stora...

Welcome to The Everything Episode — where the tangents are frequent, the topics are global, and the vibe is pure HotDad chaos.

But honestly? We talk about everything... and nothing… all at once. If you’re into...

Hot Dad Radio – Episode #7: Lost in the Loud This week on Hot Dad Radio, we get real. Like, really real. Ryan opens up in a way we haven’t heard before—about therapy, trauma, and the long road of figuring yourself out. We talk about what it means to heal, how to break cycles, and why checking in on your “happy” friends might be more important than you think. Also: • Derek reminds us that firing yo...

Hey...uh...if you don't want to hear a detailed recounting of one of the HotDads almost drowning you should skip this episode. It gets dark, but that's sort of the point, right? Examine the unexamined. Oh we also talk about music and movies and such...but just wanted to give a heads up. Enjoy!

Hey evr’budy! Soooo, we decided to put the transcript of Episode 5 into chatGPT to see what it’d do…and the answer is write the most mid-description imaginable. However, we felt bad we wasted all that energy to get such a shit description, so we’re publishing it so at least it was “worth it”. -HotDadRadio – Hot Dad Radio | Episode 5: Mickey 17, Movie Bets, & A Musical Meltdown 🎬🎶 This week on Ho...

In this sprawling and completely unhinged episode of Hot Dad Radio, the crew cracks open the vault to read through Josh’s old sketch treatments, riff on pop culture deep cuts, and somehow spiral into a chaotic table read of Good Cop / Recently Divorced Cop. Along the way, they cover everything from snack preferences to obscure superhero comics, the perils of creative procrastination, and the const...

"Josh and Derek talk sound boards, writing books, new music, make box office bets, and casually and carefully dip a toe or two into our shared trauma from our shared workplace. Or maybe I'm just reading into this too deeply. It's a good episode." -the Producer

Hijacking this RSS feed for an experimental HotDadRadio! Regularly streaming on twitch/youtube on Fridays 8pm PST/10pm CST - HotDadRadio is a collective of arguably attractive (mostly) non-fathers, on the internet. The name makes sense. Stop asking. Danny Rathbun started as a friend of a friend of a friend...a call out for promo/interview fun turned into a wild interview with this New York based c...

ClaireAfterAll is motivating. Over the past 6 years I've had the distinct pleasure of playing D&D weekly with Claire and if I had to pick just one word, first it would take me all day, but I would eventually have to land on motivating. Professionally she's moving mountains to make art, personally...she does the same, but in such a real and honest way it's forever motivating. She is Claire, after a...

Lily Maslia (@LilyMaslia) is literally heinous. No literally. This television tested celebrity expert is cool as hell. And that contains multitudes. Recently moved to NYC, Lily and I talk about which coast is better...whether they knew it or not....what brought us together, our hopes and dreams of stardom, and the importance of para-social relationships with celebrities. Everything else you'll hav...

Hey everybody, and welcome to another episode of Noodlin’ with Josh - on this episode I get to noodle with fellow actor and transplant to the city, Shelby Shea. Spelled like the butter but no relation. I’m going to start by pulling right from her IMDB bio because that’s not something I get to say very often - PLUS, she sounds fancy as fuuuuuck and I wanna be her publicist, but that’s a story for a...

IG Jessi. Hobbs Tik tok jessi_hobbs13 On this episode of Noodlin' with Josh I get to chat with newly published author, producer, and fellow Los Angeleno, Jessica Hobbs. The path to your dreams is as long as you want it to be. While kicking ass as a Producer in Hollywood, Jessica realized her true passion was in writing and after stumbling into Short Stories came out on the other side with a new ca...

On this episode of Noodlin' with Josh I got to chat with Jacqueline, Jacq for short, a badass who I met while streaming an episode of HotDadRadio on twitch. Jacq aka PaleGirlCantDraw can't actually draw, but she has an incredible recording voice and even wanted to be a Radio DJ (which I totally called by the way). We chat about a lot of things, but if I have to suggest two things it would be to st...

On this episode of Noodin' with Josh, we have a guest in studio...ASHLEY FEE! As we hit record we quickly realized that we had a third silent guest on the show, George Clooney. Or at least the tequila tasting fruit of his labors. Because for some reason, there's something about recording in person that makes taking 5 shots of Casamigos Tequila each both bearable and a requirement. Tune in and get...
