Chris Franjola is a nationally headlining comic who was one of the stars of Chelsea Lately. You might know him from his time on Heather McDonald's Podcast, Juicy Scoop, or his own new podcast Cover to Cover. He's still living that free living childless lifestyle, but something tells me that's about to change.... Hmmmm. The Dadlands Cover to Cover

Jimmy Pardo is a world renowned comic who has hosted the "Never Not Funny" podcast for almost 14 years. He stopped by to point his laser sharp wit at the absurdity of parenting in today's world and his podcast name is insanely accurate. He takes aim at celebrity children, bullying, getting pregnant, his mother's notes on his comedy, and apparently, "crabs". He's a great dad and a ridiculously funny guy. Always a great guest, he is truly never not funny. Enjoy. The DadLands

Never Not Funny

My personal accountant, a celebrated comic, host of "Money You Should Ask", and the author of "The Money Nerve", Bob Wheeler helps parents prepare for the financial chore of having kids. From Life Insurance, to setting up a trust, to starting a college fund for your kids, this is the most important podcast you'll hear for raising children. Yes, we made it funny, but hear real life stories (names have been changed) that will help you avoid the pitfalls involved with the cost of children. We put it into the simplest terms possible because this side of parenting is painful. BUT NECESSARY! Seriously, a must listen for parents. The Money Nerve

Two of my oldest friends and bartender types join me to relive a simpler time before children "changed" our lives. Dave is a comic and voiceover artist who has been the voice of many of your favorite games, and Brendan is John Wayne's grand son and an actor in his own right. And I can't spill all the beans but he may have something to do with the upcoming "Mandalorian" (A Star Wars Saga) on Disney Plus in November. Stories include a few drunk nights in Santa Monica when we were slinging drinks and doing stupid things. Luckily there is no video evidence of the destruction. But stories are better anyway. Enjoy.

Ralph Garman, from The Ralph Report on Patreon as well as The Joe Shmoe show, Hollywood Babble-On with Kevin Smith, and over 200 episodes of The Family Guy, discusses The Elf on the Shelf, sending our kids to Lesbian Camp, YouTube influencers, Missing Cats, teaching your kids the words Vagina and Penis, and how he used to be heavily involved in the "Swinging Community". Yes, that's exactly what you think it is. The DadLands

Jay Kogen, from The Simpsons, Frasier, The Tracey Ullman Show, Wendell and Vinnie, and School of Rock, talks about growing up in the business as the son of television writer, and what it's like raising a genius son who's on his way to Stanford. Oh, and his son also has a new album out. Charlie Kogen/Songs from the Front Seat Jay is a great dad and has some fantastic insight into raising kids, but the truth is, he got pretty lucky too. This is a super lesson in how to help your kids navigate life, but also how to get out of their way. Enjoy! The DadLands

Michael Bunin, from My Boys and Superstore, joins Jamie and his guest co-host Murray Valeriano, to discuss why his Dad always carried a roll of dimes in case a fight broke out, parents of pets, the problems of texting, and how you can't possibly trust someone who won't admit that they've at one point in their life crapped their pants. We also find out that Murray is a conspiracy theorist who thinks we didn't land on the moon. Seriously, Murray, WTF? The Van Allen Ring?!?!?! The DadLands

Murray Valeriano, from All Things Comedy's "Road Stories", has been a comedian and a television writer for a long time. But he's also the dad of a seven year old son. We talk about Murray's childhood as the son of a Preacher, his experiences within the cliquish world of pre-school as an involved Dad, and the time a 15 year old Murray lost his Virginity to a 33 year old woman who tutored for the church. What?!?!?!?!? Yes... it's insane. The Dadlands
