🎙️ Episode 230 — Alge-bros: Two Dads vs. Fifth Grade Math

This week on the Top Dad Podcast, we ask life’s most dangerous question: Are you smarter than a 5th grader? (Spoiler: No. No, we are not.)

Top Dads Ken and Matt dust off their calculators, sharpen their #2 pencils, and try to survive a pop quiz from the most terrifying teacher of all—elementary school math. Common core? More like common confusion.

We also get deep and sentimental (but not too sentimental) with some lightly uninformed thoughts on college, letting your kids find their own path, and why allowing them to “choose their own adventure” is both brave… and sometimes ends with slime in your car.

Other hot Dad topics on this episode:

  🧮 How long division broke our spirits

  🎓 College prep panic attacks (and it’s only 5th grade)

  🧭 Letting kids lead without going completely off the rails

Packed with bad math, good laughs, and heartfelt parenting fails, this episode proves one thing: being a dad is the ultimate open-book test—and we’re still failing Algebra.
