On this episode of The Cheer Dad Podcast, the dads sit down with stand-up comedian, teacher, and viral content creator Jay Yoder.

Jay has built a massive following online by turning the chaos of parenting, teaching, and cheer life into hilarious and relatable comedy. But behind the jokes is a proud cheer dad who knows exactly what it’s like to spend long weekends at competitions, learn an entirely new language of cheer terminology, and try to keep up with the wild world of All-Star cheer.

We talk with Jay about how he got started in stand-up comedy, what it was like performing his first shows, and how his daughter’s cheer journey eventually became some of his most popular content online.

Jay also shares stories about meeting cheer parents while MC’ing at Globals in Atlantic City, the unexpected reactions he gets from cheer families who recognize him from his videos, and how cheer culture has influenced his comedy both online and on stage.

Of course, we wrap things up with our fan-favorite Quick Hits, where we compare the worlds of stand-up comedy and cheer competitions to see which one is tougher.

Whether you’re a cheer parent, a comedian, or just someone trying to survive the madness of competition weekends, this episode is packed with laughs and relatable moments.
