Episode 214: Big Dad Energy, Budget Battles & Bingo Nights

This week on the Top Dad Podcast, we’re bringing the laughs and the life lessons. Ken and Matt share Big Daddy Parenting Tips, dive into St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ shenanigans, and recap a wild game of Grandparents Bingo.

We’re talking real dad stuff: budgeting wins (and fails), dieting struggles, and all the ancient tech our kids just don’t get—telephones, fax machines, and even the ol’ Rolodex. Plus, a little early morning radio trivia with the kids before school.

Parenting, nostalgia, and classic dad humor—just the way you like it.

“Algorithms, Cub Scouts, and the Dad Joke Algorithm – Episode 212”

📖 Episode Description:

Welcome to Top Dad Podcast Episode 212, where the Wi-Fi is strong, the jokes are stronger, and the dad wisdom is dialed in tighter than your dad’s fanny pack on vacation.

This week we’re deep-diving into our algorithm rabbit holes (turns out we’re 87% dad jokes, 10% wristwatch reviews, and 3% how-to videos on starting fires with pinecones). We talk technologically impaired parents, start our very own Top Dad Book Club, and uncover the mysterious world of Cub Scout leadership—spoiler alert: it involves knots, crafts, and herding small humans.

Also in this episode:

• How to recommend a book without reading it (classic dad move).

• The watch every dad needs, and why it shouldn’t have a calculator.

• Our best parenting hacks, including the revolutionary “Just Ask Mom” technique.

• And yes, more dad jokes than a PTA talent show.

▶️ Hit play and let your algorithm know it just found its new favorite podcast!
