    What’s Up Dad Podcast | “Find God Sooner” + Rapid Fire Dad Questions!

    Send us a text Welcome to the What’s Up Dad Podcast — a dad podcast recorded in Columbus, Ohio hosted by Grayson Thompson and Ryan Phipps. In this episode, we hit rapid fire questions with laughs, dad debates, and real-life parenting moments. We talk sleep patterns, favorite drinks (coffee for sure), movie night memories, dad style (polos are essential), and the classic family vacation question: beach vs. mountains. Then we shift into the meaningful stuff — life lessons, faith, and a simple reminder that hits hard: “Find God sooner.” We also wrap with books for dads and why reading with your kids matters more than you think. About the show: What’s Up, Dad?! is a place for dads to openly talk about what’s on their mind — “networking for dads without the networking.” 👇 Subscribe for weekly episodes of What’s Up Dad?! 🎙 Real dads.
