Let’s be real—the guy you were before the car seat and the 3 AM wake-up calls? He’s officially retired. In this episode, De’Meco and Blair talk through the reality of letting the "old you" go and why it feels more like an upgrade than a loss. We aren’t experts and we definitely don’t have a crystal ball—we’re just two dads sharing the playbook that’s getting us through this week, knowing full well we might have to scrap it and start over by next Tuesday.What we’re navigating in this session:The "Pre-Dad" Ego: De’Meco on why he’s letting the old version of himself go and how he’s growing into the version his daughter needs today.The "Shut Up and Listen" Strategy: Blair shares how he’s learning to stop parenting from his own past and start observing his kids as the individuals they actually are.Parenthood as the Great Unknown: Why we’re tossing the "expert" books and just trying to hit the fairway one shot at a time in a game with no fixed rules.The Music Shuffle Mirror: How a transition from 90s R&B heartbreak to Sea Shanties and BB Mak reflects the men we’re becoming (for better or worse).The Scrubs Effect: Finding the real-life "dad gems" in fictional bromances and navigating the "Millennial Cringe" of the latest revivals.📍 Episode Chapters00:00 - Finding Our Fictional "Ride or Dies"The bromance draft: From Nick Miller and Schmidt to the Turk and JD blueprint.04:02 - The Toddler Intro WorkshopDe’Meco’s realization that his daughter is outgrowing her intro (and a quick 4.0 GPA brag from Blair).05:36 - The Meatball Sub Rule: Dad Risk AssessmentWhy the version of you that ate trash-can subs is officially retired for the sake of the kids.05:58 - R.I.P. to the "Pre-Dad" Version of MeDe’Meco’s deep dive into why you have to let fatherhood change you—because there’s no going back.08:15 - The "Shut Up and Listen" StrategyBlair on why our kids aren't mini-versions of us, and how to stop parenting from our own old playbooks.13:36 - The "Shuffle of Shame": BB Mak & Sea ShantiesThe moment we admit our music taste has evolved into something our friends (and maybe our kids) would judge us for.21:09 - 90s R&B Heartbreak & Dorm Room VibesA nostalgic trip back to 2008, crying to Toni Braxton, and the "ripple" iTunes screensaver.29:50 - Is the Scrubs Revival "Millennial Cringe"?Navigating the nostalgia of reboots and why we just need a reason to laugh again.38:50 - Parenting Through the Noise: Real Talk on Racial AnxietyThe heavy reality of navigating mental health, grocery store runs, and parenting during trying times.About the ShowFather Time with De’Meco & Blair isn’t just another "dad show"—it’s a look at the legacy of fatherhood from the people who actually live it.

We’ve been at this for two years, but it’s time for a reintroduction. We’re stripping it back to our four pillars—Fatherhood, Relationships, Careers, and Passions—and exploring why the truest judge of our legacy isn't us, but the people on the receiving end of our time.

In the mix this week:

• The Reset: Why Episode 54 is the new foundation for Father Time.

• The Four Pillars: How we balance the chaos of being a man in 2026.

• The Stark Legacy: Why Iron Man's dad is the "Forgotten Fictional Father" of the week.

• Shamrock Shuffle: Training for a Chicago 8K without letting "AI trainers" ruin your knees.

Father Time with De’Meco & Blair isn’t just another "dad show"—it’s a look at the legacy of fatherhood from the people who actually live it. Whether you’re an expecting father staring at a positive test, a dad in the toddler trenches, or navigating the world of elementary school algebra, this is your home base.

We believe the truest judge of a father isn't the man himself, but the person on the receiving end of his parenting. That’s why we bring in perspectives from every stage of life to talk about the ripple effects of how we show up.

Beyond the "Dad Gems," we’re just two friends trying to balance it all:

• Fatherhood: Breaking old cycles to raise the next generation.

• Relationships: Staying afloat in the "roaring rapids" of marriage.

• Careers: Making the 9-to-5 work for the passion, not the other way around.

• Passions: Everything from MCU deep-dives to 8K training—staying you while being a dad.

We’re just trying to be 1% better than we were yesterday. Glad to have you along for the ride.

About the Show

Traditional golf has long been defined by "blue blazer" exclusivity, but Matt Sakdalan is using streetwear and his Filipino heritage to kick the doors wide open. In this episode, we dive into how the influence of a father can shape a creative legacy and why "community" is the ultimate disruptor in a privileged sport.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to translate niche cultural identity into a global fashion brand.
• The "Tiger Woods effect" and why representation matters on the course.
• The truth about "Hype Culture"—is it bringing people in or just creating new gatekeepers?
• Why the "recipient" of fatherhood has the best perspective on a parent's legacy.
• The "Inside Scoop" on whether the birds at The Masters are actually real.

About the Show:Father Time with De’Meco & Blair is an authentic, witty, and grounded exploration of modern manhood. We sit at the intersection of fatherhood, career hustle, and the passions that keep us sane—from the golf course to the toddler potty training trenches.

"If you really love something, you need to trap that."

From growing up in a broken home—where the Huxtables felt like "oxygen"—to the staggering personal revelation of divorcing and then remarrying his wife after years apart. It’s a masterclass in reconciliation, patience, and what it actually looks like to "trap" your life back into position when the puck isn't in your hand.In this episode, we explore:The Coach Ted Orion Lesson: Why "two-way hockey" is the perfect metaphor for surviving the seasons of life when things aren't going your way.Girl Dad 101: Aaron is the only male in a house of four (even the dog is a girl).

"My presence is a presence." We’re kicking off a brand-new era of Father Time with De'Meco & Blair. We’re officially moving away from "Seasons" and into a continuous, fluid flow of conversation. No more breaks, just real talk, throughout the "Sacred Timeline" We start with Blair shaking De'Meco out of a self-sabotaging "pity party," reminding him that his presence is a presence. This is an honest look at the self-imposed expectations that haunt dads and how to give yourself grace when you’re "running on E."In this episode, we dive into:The "Utility Player" Mindset: Why every team doesn't need a Barry Bonds. Sometimes, being a great dad means playing second base today and right field tomorrow—being exactly what your family needs in the moment.Breaking the Cycle: A raw, visceral discussion on the "whoopings" of our past. We reflect on the "dragon" in the house and make the conscious choice to choose safety over fear.The Kevin Hart Reaction: Unpacking the silent burdens fathers carry so their children don’t have to.Therapy & Control: How Blair and De'Meco are using therapy to recognize patterns, drop the "boo-boo face," and simply "pick their chin up."The Magic of Moms: De'Meco gives flowers to his wife, Kate, and acknowledges the "manufactured joy" that moms work so hard to create.Fatherhood is a rock spinning in nothingness—it's finite, it's messy, and it’s beautiful. Whether you're navigating the "three-nager" stage or trying to be a better man than your father was, this episode is for you.Get ready for laughs, insights, and a whole lot of proud dad talk.Let us know what topics you'd like to hear us discuss this season, in the comments below!Presented by: Father Time MediaExecutively Produced by: De'Meco Deanes & Blair CuttsEdited by: De'Meco Deanes & Blair CuttsTheme Song by EemsWYNK Seltzer + THC - https://drinkwynk.com/ - “FatherTimePod” for 20% off at checkoutFather Time Reacts - Diary Of A CEO featuring Kevin Harthttps://youtu.be/5sCGZAcXKWg?si=W9QulfBuJ9ryHVe8&t=5050#FatherTimePod #NeverNotDad #ThisIsFatherTime
