Dumb Dad Podcast

Great podcast for parents. Helpful advice mixed with self-deprecating humor. Listening to these two makes me feel like a more competent dad and inspires me to be a little better every day.

I just love listening to the Dumb Dads, it’s refreshing and realistic and downright funny. The escapades of being a “dumb” parent are refreshing. It’s nice to hear that we’re all a little stupid, and that’s okay. It’s so much better than another self help program where you are being pushed to an unrealistic standard. Wish I could make it to the live shows, have fun!

Kyle and Evan are true modern dads. Like more and more of us, they do it all… making appointments, consoling, bedtime routine, etc… all while doing what dads do best and messing up along the way. The retrospective look at their “fails” as fathers while laughing and learning from them is so relatable. Generally men don’t share their feelings and fears with each other, so it’s refreshing to hear other men have similar issues and thoughts. They each have a great perspective, and even the moments where they’re vulnerable and not trying to get a laugh are insightful and sometimes enlightening. The comedic lens that place on fatherhood is something I look forward to weekly. My name is T, and in a dumb dad.

This show reminds us all that you’re not the only one that makes mistakes. I’m writing this review as I sit next to the bathtub in my parents’ apartment with my 2 and 4 year old. As an example of what to expect on this show, here is my dumb dad moment of the week: They were playing nicely together about ten minutes ago, when I heard a low grumbling noise. I assumed the four year old pushed the button to activate the spa jets. I pushed it again to turn it off. The noise amplified and I realized to my horror that the previous sound was actually from a loosened drain plug and I had just turned the jets on myself. But it was too late. The water jets sprayed everywhere and both kids immediately erupted in tears. Mom showed up just in time to witness my failure and start the process of calming them down. In conclusion: if you’re a dumb dad too, join the club.
