In this episode, the Hot Dad Radio crew gets meta—like, Sims-level meta. Josh, Derek, and Ryan dive into the art of capturing fleeting thoughts and turning them into something more permanent: soft paper to hard drive, voice to transcript to prompts. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how ideas become content in the Hot Dad universe.

We also wax philosophical about how life feels a lot like The Sims—equal parts chaotic, hilarious, and occasionally glitchy. And if that’s not enough, we tease something big: our first live taping of Hot Dad Radio is coming soon, and Ryan is dropping the official event details any day now.

Whether you're here for the tech-talk-meets-therapy-vibes or just want to hear some dads get way too introspective about their recording process, this one’s for you.
