PAPA DO PREACH: The Dad Podcast

LEAD THE CHARGE - Special Guests: Reeves Cannon & Robert Thomas (Double R Flow-Town Podcast)

In this heartfelt and hilariously relatable episode, we welcome Reeves Cannon and Robert Thomas from the Double R Flow-Town Podcast to talk shop on all things dad-life. From the latest in our ongoing segment “This Week in Dadding” to the tough but important conversations about raising well-rounded, emotionally grounded kids — this episode goes deep without losing the laughs.

We open up about the beautiful complexities of adoption, the ever-growing challenges of preparing teens for the road (literally) as they near driving age, and how we as fathers can help our daughters navigate a world where social media often tries to define their worth.

And of course, no episode would be complete without our crowd-favorite segment, Grumpy Old Men, where we all get a little curmudgeonly about “kids these days,” modern trends, and whatever else got under our dad-bods this week.

In this episode:

• “This Week in Dadding” – the highs, lows, and sideways moments
• Real talk on adoption and what it’s taught us as fathers
• Teen drivers: fears, prep, and letting go of the wheel
• Raising daughters with confidence in a curated digital world
• Grumpy Old Men – fresh complaints from seasoned dads

It’s honest. It’s funny. It’s four dads trying to do their best — and find their way to live successful lives with successful kids with successful dreams.

In this unforgettable episode, we laugh harder than we ever have before — like, actual can't-breathe, tears-rolling kind of laughs. We're joined by a longtime friend and first-time dad Ryan Rhodes to talk about growing up with music in our bones, the wild ride from garage bands to lullabies, and what it really feels like to play a show and miss your family (spoiler: it’s awesome).

Expect stories that hit the heart and the funny bone — from crackin' jokes about the dumb names people call us, to an unexpected laugh from an unexpected playlist...this episode is DEFINITELY a change of pace and return to laughter.

And stick around for a blooper reel so ridiculous, we almost didn’t include it. Almost.

It’s music, fatherhood, and full-blown chaos — the good kind.

In this episode of Papa Do Preach, we dive headfirst into one of the most controversial topics making waves in today’s world of social media, negativity, and family dynamics. Recently, a series of events surrounding a public figure sparked a storm of debate among parents. His statements, social media presence, and involvement in politically charged discussions have left many fathers questioning what to truly fear in this age of digital discourse.

We also discuss the difficulty of what Jake and his family had to go through with an unexpected surgery on his 2 year old daughter and the fears that came with not knowing what to expect when surgery, anesthesia and unsettled waiting occur.

Join us as we break down the complexities of this unfolding situation, exploring how this moment of tension highlights a larger cultural crisis. Is social media feeding division, or is it simply reflecting the cracks already present in society? How do we, as parents, navigate these tricky waters, balancing the need for open conversation with the concern of raising our kids in a world where misinformation and hate seem more rampant than ever?

We’ll discuss:

• The aftermath surrounding the horrible event that took place in Utah.
• The growing mistrust in social media platforms and their role in shaping values.
• How fathers can engage with their kids on sensitive topics like trust, opinions of others and digital ethics.
• What it means to raise a generation with integrity in a world where moral compasses seem fractured.
• The haunting truth behind our children and technology available at their fingertips.

With candid commentary and personal insights, this episode will leave you with valuable takeaways for navigating today’s decaying trust in media and society, all while empowering you to have more open, honest conversations with your children. Whether you agree or disagree with the issues at hand, this episode will spark thoughtful reflection on how to be the guiding force your kids need in a world where trust feels in short supply.

Tune in, and let’s talk about the hard stuff—because sometimes, that's the only way to build something better, where faith and positive energy are the only things that can defeat the fear and negativity we all deal with daily.

In this week's installment, we sit down with the man, the myth, the legend and Jake's dad, Mark Westerbeck. We find out what "Papa" is up to nowadays with retirement, what it was like raising 3 kids in the 90s, and here some racy stories about Jakes decisions as a 10 year old...
