#60 Dad Mode and the Politics We Didn’t Ask For
About this episode
Being a dad in today’s world means navigating way more than just bedtime routines and forgotten science projects—it means explaining headlines, answering impossible questions, and trying not to scream during PTA meetings or political ads.
In this episode, Josh, Sean and Bret dig into the wild intersection of fatherhood and politics—from the dinner table debates we never planned for to the tightrope walk of teaching values without raising little extremists. What do you say when your kid asks, “Are we Blue or Red?”
We talk about what it means to be a modern dad in a divided world, why staying silent isn’t always an option, and how to model respect, accountability, and being curious about other points of view.
This one’s for the dads who are trying to raise decent humans without losing their minds—or their group chat privileges.
