The Real Dad Podcast

Those darn kids with their stocked snack drawers, fancy dance classes, and name brand cereal!  

They've got it all, why can't they step up the the plate and JUST DO IT (TM) ?

Well wait, maybe it's not just platitudes, maybe it's our own bad attitudes? Perhaps we've gotta look in the mirror, go easy on our Dad Bods, and show a little of our own Dad Gratitude!?

Mark and his Chaotic Good energy are off this week, so the remaining Dad's have an intimate chat about A+ Coaching, Making Friends as Adults, and The Big Man Upstairs. 

Are you feeling like you're pushing a mountain up a mountain? Having a hard time "choosing happiness"? Struggling to go from nervous to nervous-cited? Well, don't let the title fool you, it's time to try out the magic C-Word...COMMUNICATION, with the Real Dads! 

"Professor" Brent Walker is back to talk Dress Codes, Compliment Sandwiches, and starting Forest Fires with your buddies! 

Mama Mia! It's a big, sloppy Spaghetti Dinner on this episode of The RDP: An amuse-bouche of wedding shenanigans, a salad course of Mid-Thirties Athletic Recovery, Forkfuls of Road Trip advice, and finally Weird Erections for dessert! 

Being a Dad can be tough, whether you're high stakes camping with Grandma, dealing with a "Dexter phase", or your kid swipes bike-riding bragging rights from under your nose. But it's all going to be okay. Probably! 

Mark's back from his sabbatical, so the dads can finally talk about what's on ALL our minds: Brian's Vasectomy! Plus: The Olympics, Breakfast Cereal, and the tricky definition of the word "gaping".  

Special guest dad Ian Campbell sits in for Mark for a wide ranging chat of fears, thrills, phones, and... fungus?

The Dads do their best Siskel & Ebert Impressions and review Eminem's new album "The Death of Slim Shady" and Pixar's latest offering "Inside Out 2", then discuss what effect Shady's loathsome lyricism might have on a kid, and what effect Inside Out 2 had on Mark. SPOILER: He Cried! 

Vasectomies, Organized Sports, and tips for becoming a Confident Conversationalist! All things that take BALLS, this week on The Real Dad Podcast!
