After a much-needed summer break, Micah and Addie are back with a full catch-up episode packed with family stories, life updates, and the usual chaos. They kick things off with a recap of their Tennessee family trip, including cave tours at Ruby Falls, too-close-for-comfort walking paths, a mysterious TSA microphone incident, and a very important family nickname: the Zucchini Family. From there, they talk through the whirlwind of moving, apartment life, and the reality of trying to settle into a new season of life while still making time for friends, fun, and family.

Addie shares what it’s been like adjusting to college in Lubbock, living in an apartment with roommates, making friends with the neighbors, and balancing a packed schedule of classes, work, and church involvement. She also talks about her new job at a Christian daycare, her interest in ministry and photography, and how she’s thinking ahead about honors work and thesis ideas. The conversation gets especially interesting when she dives into her fascination with psychology, serial killers, arson research, and the way people think about good, evil, and crime.

This episode is equal parts funny, honest, and a little bit all over the place — in the best way. It’s a catch-up episode about change, growth, busy schedules, weird facts, and trying to keep up with life one chaotic week at a time. Plus, there are dad jokes, game night stories, volunteer-life updates, and plenty of random tangents along the way.

If you’re looking for a laid-back, funny, and very real conversation about family, college, work, and whatever else comes up, this is the one to listen to.

Episode 33 is a chaotic, funny, and surprisingly thoughtful catch-up on everything from surviving summer camp to getting ready for a much-needed cruise. Micah and Addie recap Addie’s intense season as a camp counselor and media team member, including long days, bunk-bed struggles, endless editing, camp drama, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps camp running. They also talk about the faith-testing side of ministry, the meaningful moments that made the hard work worth it, and how camp pushed Petrea without changing the core of her belief.

The conversation then shifts into friend-group chaos, birthday plans, cruise prep, family travel, and the everyday madness of adulting. Micah shares his own summer updates, including his walking routine and the strange things he’s seen around campus, while Petrea talks about moving into her first apartment, packing books, and juggling a packed schedule of travel and celebration.

One of the biggest topics in this episode is dating and relationships in today’s world. Micah and Addie get into modern Christian dating, old-school courting, standards, communication, and why a lot of younger people are pushing for intentional, respectful relationships instead of wasting time. They talk about what it means to date with marriage in mind, how to spot red flags early, and why real connection matters more than apps, games, or surface-level attraction.

Also in this episode: a surprise friend drop-in, funny stories about camp crushes, family humor, and Addie’s big goal of handwriting the Bible and eventually comparing it with the Quran and Torah. It’s a lively, honest episode full of faith, friendship, dating, camp stories, and plenty of laughs.

In this summer catch-up episode of DYSNST 32, Micah and Addie return after a month away and jump straight into life at camp, where Addie has spent the past several weeks working nonstop. The episode covers everything from long camp days, sunburns, golf carts in torrential rain, and the chaos of keeping campers safe, to the deeper moments that make camp meaningful—like praying with students, sharing testimony, seeing a camper make a decision for Christ, and building real relationships that carry beyond the week. Addie also breaks down what a typical Christian camp looks like, including worship, small group time, activities, camp crushes, invitation nights, bell ceremonies, and fireworks.

Of course, it wouldn’t be this podcast without plenty of random side quests. Micah and Addie revisit the legendary “brown cow” debate, talk about their camp snack-bar rule-bending days, and spiral into conversations about the weirdest books in the Bible, why Psalms feels so dramatic, and which biblical or historical figures they’d most want to talk to. The episode also veers into true crime, Sherlock Holmes, Jack the Ripper, and Addie’s fascination with criminal psychology, all while keeping the tone funny, energetic, and conversational.

This episode is a mix of camp stories, faith, humor, nostalgia, and the kind of father-daughter banter that makes DYSNST 32 feel like catching up with two people who are just letting the conversation go wherever it wants. It’s a great listen for anyone who loves summer camp stories, Christian conversations, random deep dives, and genuinely funny family podcast energy.

In this episode of Dad You Should Never Say That, Micah and Addie kick things off with the kind of off-the-rails conversation only this podcast can deliver — from favorite chips and random snack discoveries to the eternal debate over weird restaurant choices. What starts as a tangent about Doritos and ramen quickly turns into a full recap of life lately, setting the stage for a laid-back, funny, and very honest catch-up.

Addie shares what it’s been like coming home after her first year of college, unpacking the difference between campus life and being back under one roof with family. She talks about the freedom, the friendships, the strange dorm moments, and the lessons she learned along the way — including why making new friends in college matters more than people might think. Along the way, Micah adds his usual commentary, dad jokes, and observations, making the conversation equal parts thoughtful and ridiculous.

The episode also covers a memorable allergic reaction, a few chaotic restaurant experiences, and plenty of stories from college, dorm life, and campus culture. It’s a fun recap of a big year, a look ahead at camp and upcoming plans, and a reminder that the best parts of life are usually the people, the memories, and the stories you get to laugh about later.

In this end-of-the-school-year episode of DYSNST Ep 30, Micah and Addie kick things off with their usual chaos, catch up on Addie’s week, and celebrate the podcast’s first ever listener message. Addie also shares a big personal update: she and her boyfriend broke up, and she’s been spending more time on Snapchat meeting new people and spreading the word about the show. From there, the episode shifts into a fun reflection on her freshman year of college and the friendships that made it memorable.

Addie reads favorite college memories submitted by friends and roommates, including stories about late-night Spoons games, first-week adventures, random dorm hangouts, campus exploring, double dates on Tinder, and unforgettable nights out. Special shoutouts go to friends like Natty, JB, Austin, Chitty, Cade, Rachel, Lacey, Val, Jack, Drake, Rex (well not really REX), and her roommate Nat Nat, whose sweet message about their friendship and shared ER trip adds a heartfelt note to the episode. The conversation is full of inside jokes, roommate stories, and a few wildly funny quotes from the year.

To close things out, Addie shares her own favorite memories from the year, including dancing at Rodeo4, meeting Izzy, New Year’s Eve with family and friends, and building a weekly ritual with Micah through the podcast itself. Micah reflects on how meaningful those conversations have become and how the show has helped them stay connected. The episode ends by highlighting the importance of making time for the people who matter most, while also revisiting some of the most ridiculous quotes from the year.

This week’s episode is pure organized chaos in the best way. We catch up on the end of the school year, summer plans, camp training, birthday ideas, books, concerts, and the usual random side quests that somehow turn into half the conversation. Somewhere between all of that, we also end up talking about flat tires, roadside problem-solving, escape rooms, family plans, and the kind of everyday disaster stories that make for the best podcast material.

It’s funny, scattered, and full of the usual mix of tangents, life updates, and questionable decisions — basically, a very accurate snapshot of what happens when we sit down to record.

In this episode of The Dad You Should Never Say That Podcast, Micah and Addie kick things off with a very important conversation about gas prices, then somehow end up in a full-blown debate about college, AP credits, minimum wage, server life, and why some jobs feel way more exhausting than they should. They also talk through the weirdly specific joy of Waffle House, the superiority of certain late-night food spots, and what kind of restaurant each of them would actually want to run.

Along the way, they spiral into classic podcast chaos with ideas like shock-collar trivia, birth simulators, Jackbox games that get way too inappropriate, and the ongoing question of whether adults should be trusted to make decisions after a certain number of caffeinated drinks. It’s funny, a little unhinged, and exactly the kind of conversation that proves Micah and Addie should probably never be left unsupervised with a microphone.

If you like off-the-rails family banter, food arguments, college rants, and deeply questionable business ideas, this episode is for you.

Between joking about cats, school stress, campus weirdness, sports, weather warnings, and random life updates, this episode somehow manages to cover everything and nothing at the same time.
