There is a version of Sunday where you see every snap and your wife still gets her whole day back. We found it.

Hey Dads. We're back and in the studio! First up, Jay's brother wants to know why Dad Pad isn't the sponsor of this podcast, which is a question he should probably be asking himself. Then: the parenting move where a mom offered her five year old a box of matches and a shovel, how kindergarten in New York now costs $75,300 a year, and the guy at the youth basketball game who made Jay stare directly into his own future.

Plus the segment this whole episode was built for. Two weeks from Week 1, we draft the ultimate strategy for watching every second of football on Sunday with a baby in the house. Boom, bust, sleeper.

Mary Beth Barone says every white dad either cares how the dishwasher is loaded or cheats on his wife. Great news for our wives: we're definitely dishwasher dads. Bad news for anyone who has ever put a small cup in the big cup spot in front of Greg.

Also this week: What you actually do when your daughter needs a public bathroom and there's no family restroom. Why the Wolff house has zero sippy cups left. Greg on the injured list after a Little Tikes trike fought back. A guy who ran a 4:17 mile pushing a stroller and beat the world record by nine seconds. Knicks ring night, October 20, LeBron in the building. The worst text you can get from your wife, including "Yep." And the first ballot of the Dad Hall of Fame, which somehow does not include LeBron.

Sam Altman thinks the drive to school should be an AI podcast about your own kids. Alex Hirsch replied "what if you just talked to your children" and got roughly twenty times the engagement. We take both sides, and Greg ends up somewhere neither of them expected.

Plus: Greg flies LA to Portland alone with an eleven month old and learns what a 5PM departure does to a baby. Jay hires the one baby proofer in Brooklyn, a French guy who crawls around your house pretending to be a baby to find the hazards. Jay turns 39, starts creatine, moves his alarm to 5:30, and says out loud that he is not going to make the 40 under 40. Greg, who has , is very sorry to hear it.

Hey papis - this week we have everything. Veteran dad advice, LeBron to Philly, and a fight about the butt spatula.

First up, a real card carrying member of Dad Club emailed us. Kevin from Maryland is flying with a six month old and wants to know how to survive it, so we get into checked bags, the Doona, the three seat hack, night flights, and why you should rent the gear instead of hauling it.

Then Greg is solo parenting this week and realizing there is no tap out. Jay collects three pieces of advice from veteran dads at a dinner party, one of which reveals that he has been applying diaper cream with his bare hands this entire time. Greg has thoughts. Greg has many thoughts.

Also: ESPN ran our USMNT take without any acknowledgment, LeBron signs with the Sixers and immediately becomes Gandalf, we make the case for the fanny pack, and Robyn files two stat corrections that Jay does not accept.

Hey Dads - big week this week. First up, a mom wrote in asking how to support your wife postpartum. We realized right away that this was a great question and a huge trap. Then we ranked the worst fathers of all time, starting with Odysseus, because Christopher Nolan just spent three hours reminding us the original action hero ghosted his kid for twenty years.

Also this week: real dad hours, a $25 bet to win a million bucks, why the World Cup was a loss for dads, and a new segment where our wives correct everything we got wrong on last week's show.

Hello dads - What should you actually bring to the hospital? We answer the question every new soon to be card carrying member of Dad Club asks, then get into our dads of the week: the guilt of being relieved when the nanny arrives Monday morning, how to do 24 hours in Vegas without the kids, and the real fear of going from one kid to two. Plus, Jay reintroduces the world to French News of the Week and we nominate the events that would feature in the first ever Dad Olympics.

Hey dads! This week, two guys who are extremely not qualified to give you a toddler milestone map give you a toddler milestone map. The CDC confirms your kid is a sociopath until age two, we walk through the official Dad Club potty training method (leave him outside, no pants, all summer), and we get honest about the day your alcohol tolerance quietly filed for divorce somewhere around 38.

Also on the docket: the Swift-Kelce wedding at MSG, the martini as a strategic speed bump, who becomes our generation's Bruce Springsteen, and Bill Simmons learning about the Jalen Brown trade while coming out of anesthesia. We close by drafting a full XI of American athletes from other sports and daring them to bring home 2030.

LeBron plays striker. We regret nothing.

Hey dads. This week we get into the deep end early: the actual day our kids showed up.

From there we get into this week's dad-ness: taking a trip without the baby and the guilt-slash-relief that comes with it, the World Cup turning us both into people who suddenly care a lot about soccer, and why Bluey is the only cartoon that respects your intelligence.

We also get into the big stuff nobody warns you about: moving your whole life to the suburbs for a school district and the quiet project of staying yourself while becoming someone's dad.

Plus a genuinely heated debate about dad footwear, and Jay's House Rule that governs what happens to a toy when its time has come.
