    Episode 74 is a little bit of everything — because that’s just where we’re at right now. We start with the aftermath of the HOA clip that turned into a full-blown support group, plus a real update from Justin on how things are going. At home, the “no” phase has officially arrived — and now we finally understand what our parents were dealing with. Then we get into pain… the kind that only bad beats can bring. From Aberg to Fitzpatrick in the span of an hour, we break down one of the most brutal stretches and revisit some all-time gambling heartbreaks. From there, we get into real-life conversations — the kind every guy knows he probably should have but might be avoiding. When it comes to family and in-laws, are you stepping up or staying quiet? On the sports side, we hit the latest: Jaylen Waddle heading to Denver The Maxx Crosby trade that didn’t happen And whether the World Baseball Classic is actually becoming one of the best events in sports Then we get into a game — blind ranking our way-too-early Super Bowl contenders, no stats, no changes, just gut decisions.

    Back in the Game + Tua Era is Over

    Daddy Wants To Play is back after two weeks off — because life happens. Justin is approaching one month of dad life, Allen has been buried studying for a promotional exam, and somehow two grown men just spent $250 on brand new baseball gloves like they’re getting called up tomorrow. On the football side… things got real. The Dolphins are cutting ties across the roster, including the Uno himself — Tua Tagovailoa — officially closing the book on an era in Miami. Around the league, NFL Free Agency is already chaos. Bags are being handed out like candy and teams are racing to “win the offseason.” We break down the biggest moves, what it means for the Dolphins, and whether winning free agency actually matters. Then we jump into another competitive game segment — trying to fix a struggling franchise with only three moves. We wrap it up with what’s been pissing Justin off lately (an HOA might be involved).

    Rebuild or Regress?!

    Episode 72 is offseason energy at full volume. Justin’s back with week-two dad updates — less sleep, more perspective — and we finally get his full Super Bowl reaction after missing last week’s show. Has time changed the way we look at it? Or is the media already overcooking narratives for next season? Then it’s Dolphins reset mode. Miami moves on from Bradley Chubb, Tyreek Hill, Nick Westbrook-Ikene, and James Daniels — so what is this exactly? A rebuild? A retool? A culture shift? Or something bigger? We break down what it actually signals about the direction of this franchise. Around the league, things are quiet… but somehow everyone is already predicting next year’s Super Bowl and MVP. We react to the February overreactions, trade rumors, and early favorites. And then we have some fun. We build a Super Bowl-winning team live on the show — one position at a time — no stats, no Googling, just gut instinct and competitive debate. We wrap with Spotlight or Shade and a Final Gas to send you into another week of offseason chaos. Sports talk + dad life.Group chat energy.Compete everywhere. Especially at home. All Gas.

    Compete Everywhere

    The Super Bowl is done. The confetti’s cleaned up. Bad Bunny shut down halftime. And now every guy in America wakes up Monday morning thinking… what the hell do we do now? This week on Daddy Wants To Play, we break down the Super Bowl, the moments that defined it, and whether it lived up to the hype. We give our take on the halftime show, the legacy angles, and whether one team really did dominate like predicted. But this episode isn’t just about the game — it’s about what happens after it. The NFL offseason officially kicks off with Franchise Tag season, the Combine, free agency, and the Draft on deck. For real fans, this is the reset. The real New Year. The season where hope, scouting reports, and bad mock drafts take over. And somewhere in there, we ask the bigger question:Why do guys feel restless once football ends? And where does that competitive energy go now? Because competing doesn’t stop when the season does.You compete at home. In the gym. In your marriage. In fatherhood. Everywhere. We close it out with Spotlight or Shade and a Final Gas take to send you into the offseason. Sports talk + dad life.Group chat energy.Compete everywhere. Especially at home. All Gas. No Stats. ⛽️

    Daddy’s Back & Super Bowl Picks

    Episode 70 is a full house again — and Justin is back with a brand-new title: Dad. We kick things off diving into his first week of fatherhood, the emotions, the exhaustion, and the moments no one really prepares you for. From there, it’s a quick life check — potty training is underway in Allen’s house. Peeing? Elite. Pooping? Still very much a private operation. On the football side, it’s Justin’s turn to weigh in on the Dolphins’ new direction. We get into the Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan hires, what real alignment between head coach and GM means, where Justin truly stands on Tua, and whether there’s still a little lingering tension from Allen enjoying Miami’s College Football Playoff run a bit too much. Then it’s our Super Bowl Picks Show as the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots in a matchup the league just can’t quit. Allen finally reveals which team he believes is about to dominate, and both guys lock in their three favorite straight-up bets for the game — no odds, just vibes. We close it out with Spotlight or Shade and a Final Gas take to send you into Super Bowl Sunday. No stats. No scripts. Just life, football, and real takes.All Gas. No Stats. ⛽️

    Solo Dolo

    Episode 69 hits a little different. With Justin in the hospital welcoming his first child, it’s a one-mic, solo episode reflecting on fatherhood, friendships, and those life moments that hit harder than you expect. From what it feels like the first time you hold your kid, to running a marathon for the first (and last) time, this one leans into the real stuff. On the sports side, we unpack the College Football Playoff Championship — Miami coming this close, coaching decisions that swung the game, and why the “U” is firmly back in the NIL era. Then it’s onto the Dolphins’ reset: Mike McDaniel landing with the Chargers, the Jeff Hafley hire, alignment with the front office, and what this new direction actually means for the franchise moving forward. We wrap with conference championship fallout and a little Spotlight or Shade to close it out. No stats. No scripts. Just takes, feelings, and football.All Gas.
