You can’t spell ADHD without Dad. This is a comedy podcast about marriage, parenting, and navigating adulthood with ADHD. We’re two dads figuring out executive dysfunction, time blindness, overstimulation, hyperfocus, unfinished projects, and the daily chaos that comes with raising kids while your brain refuses to color inside the lines. Each week we drop: A focused episode exploring ADHD in marriage, fatherhood, relationships, work, and emotional regulation A Dad Blast episode where the structure disappears and the real-life ADHD energy shows up We’re not therapists. We’re not gurus. We’re dads trying to be better husbands and fathers while learning how our brains actually work. If you’re an ADHD dad who’s tired of feeling behind, misunderstood, or like you’re the only one struggling, you’re not. Subscribe and figure it out with us.

    The Ultimate Halloween Episode: Costumes, Candy, & Trick-or-Treating Times

    From houses handing out full iPhones to neighbors aggressively passing out raisins, Halloween brings out the absolute weirdest in humanity. In this special holiday episode of The Dad Voice, we’re breaking down the chaotic landscape of October 31st. We kick things off with the eternal Costume Dilemma: do you buy a cheap, low-effort costume off Amazon at 11:00 PM the night before, or do you lose your mind hyper-fixating on a full home-built production? Then, we debate the optimal, peak trick-or-treat time, the absurdity of the neighborhood houses giving out toothbrushes, and the absolute collapse of social contract known as the unattended "Take One Piece" candy bowl. In this episode: The Costume Battle: Cheap convenience store masks vs. ADHD-fueled prop building. Trick-or-Treat Timing: Pinpointing the exact window before the chaos gets out of hand. The Spectrum of Handouts: From the neighbor handing out iPhones to the house passing out dry raisins. The "Take One" Lie: Why leaving an unattended candy bowl outside is a social experiment destined to fail. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD. We’re here to build a community for neurodivergent fathers who are tired of "one-size-fits-all" parenting advice.

    The Fall Episode: Fire Pits, Leaf Blowers, & Pumpkin Spice Hate

    Sweater weather sounds great in theory until you’re freezing in the shade and sweating in the sun. In this week's episode of The Dad Voice, we’re welcoming autumn the only way we know how: by aggressively complaining about seasonal changes. We dig in to the eternal struggle of trying to dial in a comfortable home or outdoor temperature when the fall weather refuses to make up its mind. Then, we dive into the mandatory seasonal discussions of building the ultimate backyard fire pit, the corporate over saturation of pumpkin spice (seriously, did we need pumpkin spice everything?) and blowing leaves. In this episode: The Weather Dial: Why fall weather makes it impossible to find a comfortable temperature. Pumpkin Spice Overload: When seasonal flavoring goes too far. The Leaf Blower Debate: Cole’s hatred of yard work vs. Phil’s strange love for blowing leaves. Fire Pit Season: Building the ultimate backyard hangout spot.

    Dishes vs. Drywall: The Weird Truth About Dad Chores

    Why is unloading the dishwasher less fun than patching a hole in the drywall? In this week's episode of The Dad Voice, we’re breaking down the age old dad conflict: Can chores be fun and if so which ones are the most fun? We dive into why an ADHD brain treats washing dishes like an insurmountable mountain, while a complicated DIY repair somehow gets hyper-focused to completion. Plus, we take a detour into the music world. Cole explains why he just can't connect with Drake's music, and why the latest Taylor Swift releases completely miss the mark for his taste. In this episode: The Chore Tier List: Which household tasks are actually tolerable and which ones belong in the trash. Dishes vs. Drywall: The strange ADHD phenomenon where small chores feel heavy, but big projects feel urgent. Pop Music Hot Takes: Why mega-hits from Drake and Taylor Swift leave us completely cold.

    Live and Let Live: Our Thoughts on Pointless Social Norms

    When did social interaction get so needlessly complicated? In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re kicking back to break down the baffling social norms we just don't understand and the everyday habits society is quietly phasing out. We start by tackling the unwritten rules of modern life that make zero logical sense, like the absurdity of being "fashionably late" and why respecting someone's time has gone out the window. We also look at the shifting baseline of human interaction: things like basic acknowledgments, eye contact, and common courtesies that are getting edged out by screens and modern isolation just like Uncle Ted warned us would happen. Finally, we wrap up with a grounded look at personal beliefs and religion, landing on a simple live-and-let-live philosophy: do whatever you want, just don't use it to control or hurt other people. In this episode: The Time Trap: Why "fashionably late" is a social norm we are officially over. Evolving Etiquette: The everyday social interactions and habits getting edged out of modern life. The Live-and-Let-Live Rule: Our unfiltered take on personal beliefs, freedom, and keeping out of each other's business. Casual Vibes: Unfiltered, unscripted basement conversation.

    The Economy is Trash, But At Least Kids Keep Us Laughing

    No script. No advice. Just pure, unadulterated podcast therapy. On this week’s episode of The Dad Voice, we decided we couldn’t be bothered to prep a structured show, so we threw out the rulebook, heated up the mics, and got back to the loose, authentic vibe this channel was built on. We kick things off sharing the most unhinged, objectively dumb things we believed as kids (and the hilarious, bizarre logic our own kids are operating on right now). Then, we get real about how the grinding state of the economy and everyday affordability are squeezing households everywhere. Finally, we pull back the curtain on why we’re consciously stepping back, dropping the forced creator-rigidity, and returning to the fun, loose-cannon format we've always wanted to maintain. In this episode: The "No-Prep" Episode: We couldn't be bothered to make another rigidly planned episode this week so its all vibes. Kid Logic: The funniest myths we believed growing up versus the weird things our kids do and say today. Economic Reality Check: How everyone is feeling the pinch of the current economic climate. The Reset: Dropping the stress of forcing out episodes that don't feel like us to protect our mental health and chase better vibes. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.

    The Smartphone Stepping Stone: Preparing Your Kid for Tech

    Handing a young child an unrestricted smartphone is like handing them the keys to a sports car before they can reach the pedals. In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re diving into the absolute battlefield of parenting in the digital age: When should you give your kids smartphones, and how do you prepare them responsibly? We break down the psychological risks of early, unmonitored smartphone access, and ways to ensure you're not setting your kids up for failure in a tech forward world. More importantly, we discuss starter technology and stepping stones you can use before handing over a full smartphone. From kid-safe smartwatches (like Gabb, Bark, or Gizmo) and brick phones to restricted tablets, we share practical dad strategies for teaching digital responsibility without giving away the keys to the entire internet. In this episode: The Readiness Check: How to know if your child is mature enough for a phone (it’s not just about age). Stepping Stone Tech: Using kid smartwatches, basic feature phones, and stripped-down devices as training wheels. Building Digital Literacy: Teaching boundaries, privacy, and online safety before giving full access. Managing Screen Dopamine: Preventing tech addiction when you have an ADHD household.   ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.

    You’re Not Lazy: The Truth About Executive Dysfunction

    "Why can’t I just get up and do the thing?" In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re taking on one of the biggest misconceptions about the neurodivergent brain: Executive Dysfunction. We break down what executive dysfunction actually is, why it gets wrongly labeled as "laziness" or a lack of willpower, and the practical systems we use to manage it when our brains hit a wall. Then, we roll into our Dad Blast segment! We discuss the heavy updates surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial, as well as the new Netflix docuseries (Death of the Pastor's Wife) examining the tragic case of South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller and Mica Miller. On a lighter note, Cole shares his very first experience stepping foot inside a Costco and the immediate, blinding sensory overload that comes with bulk shopping. Finally, we wrap up with a Dad Gripe every household understands: people who share your streaming account but refuse to use their own profile, completely destroying your carefully curated recommendations with reality TV and kids' shows. In this episode: Executive Dysfunction Explained: The difference between being lazy and being neurologically stuck. Management Hacks: How to break executive paralysis and get moving. The Costco Initiation: Surviving the sensory nightmare of bulk shopping. Dad Gripe of the Week: Streaming profile squatter etiquette. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.

    What We Give Up When We Become Fathers (Dadvice Episode!)

    Welcome to the brand new era of The Dad Voice! To give you the best possible show without burning out, we are officially merging the Dad Blast directly into our mainline episodes as a dedicated segment! In this week's episode, we tackle a great Dadvice submission from our listener Eugene, who asked about the inevitable changes and sacrifices we make when transitioning into fatherhood. Eugene shared his story of having to trade in his beloved, souped-up Honda Civic for a practical, family friendly Lexus prompting a deep dive into how our identities, hobbies, and priorities shift the moment we bring a kid home. Then, we kick off our first ever embedded Dad Blast segment! We settle the undisputed law of School Folder Colors (Math is BLUE, Science is GREEN, English/Language Arts is YELLOW, and Social Studies is RED...no exceptions). Finally, Phil puts Cole on the hot seat with a high-stakes "Would You Rather": Would you rather live next door to a nuclear power plant or a massive tech data center? In this episode: The New Format: Merging the Dad Blast into the Mainline show. Dadvice Submission: Eugene’s transition from modified Civic to family Lexus. The Identity Shift: Balancing who you were before kids with who you need to be now. The Folder Law: Settling the back-to-school subject color scheme once and for all.
