    Dad Brands!

    👔 Hosted by Casey Lambert👟 Co-Hosted by Dan “Cargo Shorts Forever” Dameron 🔥 Fire up the Blackstone, grab a gas station coffee, and let’s mow down some marketing truths. In this dadcore deep dive, Casey and Dan (two certified girl dads with strong backyard energy) break down how the rebellious brands we grew up loving – like Vans and Ariat – have evolved into the emotionally available, joke-cracking, meat-smoking brands made for the modern man. They unpack how today's dad brands aren’t like our dads’ brands — those were all work and no wink (Red Wings, Carhartt, Craftsman). Today’s brands know you’ve got a soft side and a socket set. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and yeah, they might get a little misty over an HP ad about fatherhood.👕 Cool dad or drool dad? That’s the question. And it gets answered.
