My scale hasn't comfortably moved down since the 8th grade. Here are my official Fatherhood tips: abandon your dream weight goals, embrace elastic waistbands, and lean into Parenting comedy to survive the existential dread. Being a Dad means your body retains water just from looking at a slice of pizza.

Drop your current weight-plateau frustration in the comments and listen to the new episode.

New Episode! "Older Dads vs. Pinterest 2026: Feta Cheese Fails & The Yodeling Torture! (S2E2 Part 1)"

Welcome to a new episode of our parenting podcast for dads where older dads breakdown the Pinterest 2026 parenting trend report! We dive into funny parenting moments, 15-month milestones, and classic dad humor about why modern kids need a 1970s analog lifestyle.

Navigating fatherhood later in life brings unmatched humor in life. In this laugh-out-loud session of parenting comedy, Frank and Carlo share essential new dad advice and fatherhood tips. We dissect a teenage marriage study from scarymommy.com and debate the "slow motherhood" movement. Frank shares his ultimate dad life struggle: his daughter entering a wobbly toddler phase where everything—from a drill to a tree—is called "Dada," except for a chunk of feta cheese, which she aggressively rejects. From MTV ruining the 1980s to the glorious wonder of Amish pies, this is raw fatherhood advice for any Gen X dad currently raising kids. Get the best parent advice and baby advice on stripping away screens for real-world adventures, because being a dad means swapping iPads for dandelions!

Welcome to a new episode of our parenting podcast for dads where older dads breakdown the Pinterest 2026 parenting trend report! We dive into funny parenting moment…

05/16/2026

We spent a week on a cruise where
Baby Josie was the star of the show. Every
hallway was a red carpet of waves and "hellos".
Then we hit the Orlando airport. It’s like Vegas
—people are either desperate to arrive or
miserable to be leaving. Josie is doing her
usual heavy eye contact and royal wave, but
the exhausted travelers are just blanking her.
She’s looking at us like, “Don’t these people
know who I am?”. The ego hit is real. This is the
Parenting comedy we live for.

Ever had your kid realize they aren't the
center of the universe?
