This episode starts off exactly how you’d expect from DadCo—laughs, stories, interruptions, and absolute chaos—but underneath the humor is a conversation every dad can relate to.

The guys dive into the realities of fatherhood that nobody talks about enough: pressure, sacrifice, identity shifts, marriage challenges, exhaustion, and learning how to lead your family when you still feel like you’re figuring life out yourself.

From hilarious parenting moments to serious conversations about discipline, emotional growth, and becoming the kind of man your kids actually need, this episode is packed with honesty and perspective.

Whether you’re a new dad, future dad, or just trying to become a better man, this conversation hits deep.

This episode starts with laughs, random dad chaos, and stories that spiral completely off the rails—but quickly turns into one of the deepest conversations the podcast has had so far.

The guys sit down with Conrad Craft for an honest discussion about mental health, identity, pressure, purpose, and the hidden weight so many men carry in silence. From funny childhood stories to vulnerable conversations about burnout, depression, anxiety, and feeling lost, this episode dives into what happens when life doesn’t look the way you thought it would.

More importantly, it’s about hope. About showing up anyway. About learning that asking for help doesn’t make you weak—and that being a dad, husband, or man isn’t about pretending you’re okay all the time.

This one is real.
