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.

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.

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.

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.

Episode 68 starts hot — literally. Allen’s riding one hell of a betting heater while Justin proves (once again) he’s not always the best listener… until a certain Dolphins coaching candidate gets mentioned and suddenly he’s locked in.

From there, the boys break down an electric weekend of playoff football and look ahead to the Divisional Round — where they somehow don’t agree on a single game. We rank the top NFL coaching vacancies, debate what the Dolphins should actually be looking for, and wrap things up with the ultimate question: what would be the better storyline coming out of the College Football Playoff National Championship?

No stats. No consensus. Just vibes, opinions, and confidence.

Episode 67 is pure "67 energy" — confidence high, logic optional.

This week, the boys dive into Justin being officially on dad watch as his wife’s due date approaches, which sparks a dangerous conversation: would our wives actually be better NFL GMs than us? (Some parts of the job seem… suspiciously easy.)

From there, we break down the Miami Dolphins GM search, debate realistic candidates, and ask the question everyone wants to ask — should the Dolphins take a swing at John Harbaugh, even with Mike McDaniel still in the building?

The Hurricanes are in the College Football Playoff Semis, favored against Ole Miss, and the boys struggle to see any outcome that doesn’t involve Miami heading back home for the National Championship.

And after completely bombing our CFB playoff brackets, Allen and Justin get a shot at redemption by picking NFL Wild Card Weekend and lock in their Super Bowl matchup and eventual champion.

Stick around for Spotlight or Shade, as Allen unloads on his favorite team’s so-called fearless leader.

All gas. No stats.

The boys close out the year with one final run — All Gas, No Stats.
We kick things off with the Dolphins locking up their 7th win of the season and breaking down the NFL playoff picture heading into the chaos of Week 18. From there, we dive into the College Football Playoff quarterfinals and why Carson Beck might be the key to a Canes' W.

To cap off the year, we get a little nostalgic and a little reckless — answering the question: If you could change the outcome of one sporting event in history, what would it be? Then we look ahead to the new year with one sports change we’d love to see in 2026.

No spreadsheets. No hot takes for clicks. Just fans who care way too much.

Episode 66 — let’s end the year right.

The boys are back and diving headfirst into the latest chapter of the Miami Dolphins saga — and yes, it somehow gets more chaotic every week. We break down what’s next, what’s broken, and why being a Dolphins fan should probably come with a warning label.

Meanwhile, the Hurricanes head into College Station and come out victorious, which sparks a heated debate: Is Allen actually a Canes hater, or just keeping it real? The brothers go back and forth as Miami’s season continues to raise eyebrows across the college football landscape.

To close things out just in time for the holidays, we bring some Christmas chaos to the mic with a Naughty or Nice Challenge, handing out judgment to teams, players, and moments that defined the sports week.

No spreadsheets. No suits. Just fans who care way too much.
