In this episode I’m joined by 3 of my under-12 kiddos: Savannah-Grace, Chancellor, and Presleigh-Rose. We talk about some bad behavior by adults at S-G’s basketball tournament over the weekend, along with reading progress and learning math. Oh, and of course a few dad jokes :-)

Enjoy this bonus episode!

This is truly a must-listen episode - after all, who knows when our next episode will drop?!?

After 2 months we are back with another episode of Explain it to me like I'm 5 and we are bringing the heat 🔥 on this episode! We tackle many of our normal segments, including the Gen Z term of the week and not one but TWO dad jokes... plus we give an honest assessment of the Mariners' season thus far, as well as exclusive live recordings from Mike's trip to the Judah & The Lion concert in South Carolina.

Lots of greatness packed into this episode, after all it's only been 2 months since we last hit the record button and released an episode... 😮

In this episode we welcome a very special guest - Matt Laughlin. Matt is a good friend of Mike and is an expert coach and former practicing therapist. He joins this episode to talk about Mike's extreme health commitments, talks him out of being so extreme, and gets Mike on a very specific plan that is more realistic, and far more likely to stick...

Matt is an amazing human and was an absolute joy to have on the podcast -- he's another guest we will absolutely have back on the show soon, especially now that he's guiding and coaching Mike in the health and fitness realm.

Normal segments as per usual.

In this episode, Mike reveals his extreme and inspired commitments related to health, fitness, and overall life optimization (with a heavy influence from Andrew Huberman and Dr. Peter Attia). We also discuss the ongoing NCAA Tournament, the shocking upsets, and some predictions.

Plus, our popular segments such as dad joke of the week, fight song of the week, regular song of the week, and so much more.

Just push play and enjoy ;-)

For the second consecutive episode, we celebrate another birthday - this time the Mama Bear herself joins the show for the first time. Malynda brings the heat and shares some important life advice for the kids, as well as the parents. 

We also tackle important topics like:

This episode pulls - don't miss it!

It's been 15 days since we dropped an episode and the fans have spoken loud and clear... we shall never allow 15 days between episodes ever again. Our sincerest apologies to all of our die-hard fans, we vow never to let you down again with a minimum of at least one episode every week...

Now, in this episode, we welcome Judah into the world of teenager land and he shares all about what it's like turning 13. Special guest appearance from S-G! Plus our regular segments that you've grown to love :-) 

In this episode we hear from the LEGEND himself - Rees Johnson. Rees is an expert in all things Movies, TV, Music, and winning at life. We share life lessons, Gen-Z terms, and some really deep dives on the Star Wars and Marvel empires... As usual, we also tackle relevant and interesting sports topics of the day, as well as the dad joke and song of the week with some EPIC recs by Rees himself. Oh yeah, we also cover some very important advice you need to know before going to the Y.

You should absolutely check out Rees' podcast - Seafloor Thoughts - where you will enjoy thoughtful discussion from a self-proclaimed smart person. Also, movies.
