Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast!

In this episode, Nate and Jesse are sending all of their love, thoughts and prayers to the Bo Leuder's family and friends, and everyone with the Hardlore Podcast and Harm's Way. Bo's passing highlights the secret struggles that men deal with, and the importance of checking in with your friends. Even more than checking in, dad's need to be intentional about setting aside time where we are really asking each other how we are doing and put aside the awkwardness and being honest about how tough life can be sometimes.

If you, or someone you know is hurting, or needs help, you can talk to someone right now. Help is available. Dial 988 to talk to someone right away.

Welcome to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! This weeks, Jesse goes over some of the woes of doing graduate school in your 30's and Nate shares what it was like going to Disney for the first time ever.

Later, the dads go over tips for anyone who is going to a hardcore show for the first time, and a bit more of "Hardcore 101". What's the difference in moshing styles? Is one better than the other? What's the most important thing to remember at a hardcore show?

On the dad life side of things, the guys chat about the struggle of growing up in a scene that was so anti-culture and pushed against the "American Dream" and then becoming and adult that still loves that music and that scene, but also has to clock in and out of a normal job and pay the bills.

The dads start this week by recounting their recent home repair woes and how your household appliances seem to know when you have extra money...so that they can die on you.

Jesse and Nate also discuss the state of hardcore and its growing popularity. Are massively popular heavy bands good for the scene? What makes a band "baddie-core"? Has Knocked Loose discovered the key to making it big without selling out?

Later, they go over the topic of male friendship and why it seems so difficult for guys, especially dads, to make good, solid friends. Life gets busy, and lots of guys feel like they need to go it alone, but we all need someone that is there for us, no matter what.

Welcome back to the Dads Who Mosh Podcast! In this episode, Jesse and Nate get their first look at the lineup for Sound and Fury 2026! The dads also swap recent show stories and talk about bands like Poison the Well and Converge, that we'll defend until we die, no matter how good their new material is.

They also look back on Furnace Fest and try to anticipate what the future of the festival will look like after being sold to a major festival company (and pray that it hasn't been sold to Kid Rock).

Nate survived Furnace Fest and has some stories to tell! From the blistering Knocked Loose Main Stage set, to the emotional finale of Petey USA's Pond Stage set, to the beautiful mayhem that was every set on the Shed Stage, Nate recounts his magical weekend at Furnace Fest.

In this episode of Dads Who Mosh, Nate recaps the Terror show and how weird Spirit World is. He also goes over how Take Off Your Pants and Jacket by Blink-182 is a perfect album, and then talks about the impact that spiritual abuse can have on people and mentions Holy Hurt by Hillary L. McBride.

In this episode, Nate talks about the Poison the Well tour and how it's bringing together the old and the new generation of hardcore kids. Also, the lineup for Within These Walls at The Nile in Mesa is STACKED!

In the last episode, we talked about how guys need to have a lighthouse - this week we talk about the impact it can have on us to miss our lighthouse during the week and struggle on without that point of contact.

Finally, Nate complains a little bit about how much the American dream costs nowadays, but that just makes the moms and dads out there who are working hard every day mean even more.
