    Episode 37: Our interview with Lakewood City Councilperson Bryan Evans

    Matt & Tim speak with a real, live public official (and dad, too) about the importance of getting involved in local politics, how to raise kids up to college-age, and his worst parenting memory...spoiler alert, there's two kinds of poop! Plus, first haircuts, competitive kids, and someone's child can't stop listening to Kendrick Lamar. And Matt shares his fears of flying while Tim gets drunk with his neighbors on the regular.

    Episode 36: What This Year Taught Us About Parenting

    Welp, it's been a year, has it not? Time for Matt & Tim to reflect on the biggest parenting takeaways of a year that brought us the Paris Olympiad, rat-shaped holes in Chicago, and the ever encroaching doom of Artificial Intelligence. Side note: when will it take the job of stay-at-home parents? TAKE ME NOW, GOD. Plus, what happens when you stop pretending you don't have kids in work and other social settings? Tim decides to find out. And it's time to return to everyone's favorite controversial subject - daylight saving time.

    Episode 35: Post-Election Nightmare...Err Special

    Here at the Better Off Dad Podcast, we pride ourselves on balanced reporting and unbiased perspectives on politics, just as we do in parenting. Oh, who are we kidding? We've got election hot takes as undisciplined, uninformed and one-sided as we always do. Find out what has us freaked out about Trump 2.0. Plus, the trick-or-treat takeaways from this year's candy haul. And Matt makes us all feel inadequate as he plans an awesome party for his son.

    Episode 34: A Back to School Study Session

    Got kids headed off to school for the first time? Thinking your kid needs prepped for pre-k? Morbidly curious about how ugly of a crier you'll be at the first day drop off? Matt & Tim are here to answer all your questions from pre-k and beyond - like, what's with that "T" in kindergarten? The Germans, really? The beer's enough, we don't need the spellings. Get a download on early childhood education from two guys with no formal training, but all the misplaced confidence to share their perspectives. Plus, are neighborhood schools destined for the history books? The guys cover some local headlines that could be playing out in your community. And what does the perfect Presidential ticket look like - for a 5 year old? We offer critical insight.

    Episode 33: Dad Camp (Our Interview with author Evan Porter)

    Matt and Tim interview the creator of Dad Fixes Everything, and now the author of the book "Dad Camp", Evan Porter. Then, we discuss the Surgeon General's Op-Ed about placing tobacco-style warnings on social media sites for kids. Plus, some tips on summer travel from a parent who nearly got his daughter's leg ripped off by a moving train (no gore in this episode, we promise). And the boys get a little misty eyed over firsts and lasts.

    Episode 32: What to do about screen time (and cutting the cord of a very deferens kind)

    Matt & Tim return to the studio to discuss screen time. How much is too much? When did you introduce screens in your child’s life? Which episode of Bluey makes you cry? We share all our learned insights. Plus, we talk cord cutting that’s totally unrelated to the television set. You might say it’s a vas deferens topic all together. And the guys share their views on everything from Cleveland Browns stadium proposals to getting plucked of Disney Cruise Ships.

    Episode 31: New Year's resolutions (Sorry it's March) and our interview with T Nadas - the guy we cyber bullied at the Children's Museum

    Remember when we cyber bullied a guy at the children's museum for the simple crime of dressing like a bad ass? Well, he's come to the BOD Pod studios to take revenge. We spoke with T Nadas about fatherhood, working while parenting and he shared the incredible (horrifying?) story of their child's birth. We have to say - it was amazing of T to share his story. Delivery day did not go as his family expected and their story is so helpful for all of us to hear. It pierces the Instagram filtered bubble of birth! Plus, Matt & Tim are still hanging around with nothing better to do than complain about their children. They share some New Year's resolutions on the parenting front and tackle the media's problems with Taylor Swift.
