In this Episode I have the pleasure of sitting down with Step-Up Dad, Ben Largent. A 23yr Air Force vet with an incredible family (thanks to Drea). We discuss, his origin, the first time he got called Dad, what it's like to look different than your family in West Texas, how cool youth sports are, parenting in 2020, and Ben's thoughts on being an effective team member & leader.  We also perform a particularly awful dad joke segment, and Medea & Phix burst in with some BATHROOM TALK.  Enjoy & Follow us at @GonzoFatherhood on IG & FB.
