The Dad Voice Podcast

This is our final Dad Blast for a couple of weeks, and we are leaving it all on the table.
We start today with some incredibly heavy and shocking news in the sports world: the passing of NASCAR champion Kyle Busch. We take this moment to look inward and have a real conversation about the absolute necessity of dads taking care of their physical health, managing stress, and listening to their bodies before it’s too late.
Next, pulling from our roots in the heavy music scene, we break down the news of Caleb Shomo (Beartooth) publicly coming out as gay, and how his wife and the scene have reacted to the announcement.
On a lighter note, we review the new Netflix sci-fi series The Boroughs discussing why its unique, older-cast perspective is a brilliant and fun twist on the classic alien invasion genre.
Finally, we wrap up with a classic Dad Gripe: The people on Facebook and Instagram who carefully scribble out or emoji over their license plates in photos. We break down the hilarious lack of logic behind this internet paranoia—newsflash: bad guys can just look at your car in the Walmart parking lot.
In this episode:
In Memory of Kyle Busch: A wake-up call for men's health and wellness.
Caleb Shomo's Announcement: Breaking down the Beartooth news and heavy music scene culture.
The Boroughs on Netflix: Why this sci-fi thriller hits the mark.
Dad Gripe: The utter pointlessness of hiding your license plate online.

50 episodes. A full year of chaos, dad gripes, and hyper-fixation deep dives. We have officially reached the Season 2 finale of The Dad Voice, and we’re closing things out by taking a look at where we started, where we're going, and delivering on a long-awaited promise.
A while back, a short clip went viral where Cole mentioned a horrific event from his past but never got to tell the full story. Tonight, he finally opens up. Cole breaks down the chilling reality of the fate of his neighbor who went missing in July 2013 and was tragically discovered to have been murdered by her boyfriend, Cole discusses what it was like living right next to that environment, the shock of the discovery, and his experience being interviewed by Fox News the morning after the arrest.
Before things get too heavy, we take a walk down memory lane to react to our cringey, awkward Episode 1. We look at how our production, audio, and chemistry have evolved over 50 episodes, and we pull back the curtain on our massive plans for Season 3.
In this episode:
The Promise Fulfilled: Cole’s true story about his former neighbor, Angelique Sylvester.
The Flashback: Reacting to the technical glitches and awkwardness of Episode 1.
The Growth Check: Staying consistent for 50 episodes with an ADHD brain.

You cannot make a 10-hour video game into a 2-hour movie word-for-word. Today on The Dad Voice, we’re cutting the brakes on a massive Dad Gripe regarding video game adaptations. We are calling out the purists who demand that movies and TV shows be note-for-note replicas of the source material. Why do people expect a medium built on player agency to translate perfectly into a passive viewing experience? It makes no sense, and we're breaking down why creative liberties are actually a good thing.
We also dive into the utter stupidity of the Chud the Builder because he sucks and he's lame and deserves to be made fun of. Plus, we’re breaking down the newly announced NFL schedule release, looking at the biggest primetime matchups, bye weeks, and who got absolutely screwed by the schedule makers.
In this episode:
Chud the Builder: Breaking down the self-inflicted disaster.
NFL Schedule Drop: Our instant reactions to the primetime slates.
Dad Gripe of the Week: Why 1-to-1 video game movie adaptations are a terrible idea.

Why is sticking to a gym routine so brutally hard for the ADHD brain? In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re breaking down why traditional fitness advice fails neurodivergent men and how to build a system that actually sticks.
We dive into the psychology of Gamifying Fitness to keep your dopamine high, the massive role that Sleep plays in executive function, and how to use Meal Prepping to completely remove the decision fatigue from your diet. If you’re tired of "grazing" through the pantry out of pure boredom, we show you how to take the thought out of eating so you can hit your goals.
(Disclaimer: We also touch on why starting an underground Fight Club in the local Sheetz parking lot across from the gym is probably NOT a sustainable workout plan (legally), no matter what the gas station supplements promise.)
In this episode:
Gamification: Turning your workout tracking into a video game.
The Sleep Deficit: How a bad night of sleep kills your dietary discipline.
Meal Prep Magic: Defeating the "ADHD Grazing" habit.
Building the Guardrails: Creating low-friction routines you can stick to for years.

Sir David Attenborough has officially hit 100, and nature is still trying to kill us. In this Dad Blast, we’re celebrating a century of the world's most iconic voice while simultaneously panicking about the Hantavirus. We managed to find the humor in biological threats and rodent-borne illness, because if you don't laugh, you'll cry
Then, we shift gears to a Dad Gripe that unites us all: The Gas Pump Squatters. We’re calling out the people who treat the fuel island like their own personal parking space. You know the ones; they finish pumping, leave the car at the nozzle, walk inside to buy a lottery ticket, use the restroom, and contemplate their life choices while a line of 10 cars forms behind them.
In this episode:
Attenborough at 100: Happy Birthday to a legend.
The Hantavirus: Making the scary stuff funny (and what to actually look out for).
Dad Gripe of the Week: Why you need to move your car as soon as the "click" happens.

Today, we’re celebrating the "Magic" in the madness. While we usually talk about the struggles of ADHD, this episode is all about the Silver Linings. We’re diving into the creative fire, the hyper-focus wins, and the unique perspective that only a neurodivergent brain can provide.
Of course, it wouldn't be The Dad Voice if we didn't get a little derailed. We spend a good chunk of time exploring our theory on Celebrity Variants, the idea that Hollywood only has about 50 "base models" of people and everyone else is just a slight doppelgänger variant. (Wait until you hear our take on the Jack Black to Jonah Hill spectrum).
We also introduce our brand new segment: Dad Hypes! To balance out the Gripes, we’re sharing the things that actually make being a dad awesome. Today’s hype? The undisputed glory of the Mid-Week Day Off.
In this episode:
The Silver Linings: Why we wouldn't "cure" our ADHD if we could.
Celebrity Variants: Our list of the most uncanny Hollywood doppelgängers.
Dad Hypes: Why a Wednesday off hits different than a Saturday.
Just Goofing Off: A much-needed break from the heavy stuff.

Is it just us, or is the "outside" overrated? In this Dad Blast, we’re cutting the brakes and getting real about why making plans after the age of 25 feels like a chore. We discuss the glory of staying in and why the "Stay-at-Home Dad" (even on the weekends) is the ultimate lifestyle.
We also dive into the dark art of the Facebook Algorithm. Have you ever noticed how your feed is perfectly curated to make you angry? We’re sharing our funniest and most ridiculous stories of rude interactions on social media, and how to spot the bait before you get hooked.
Finally, we wrap up with a Dad Gripe for the ages: The "Helpful" Customer. We’ve all been there, the customer who tries to help but ends up making the job ten times harder, or the ones who simply refuse to use their brain in the checkout line.
In this episode:
The 25+ Threshold: Why we stopped wanting to leave the house.
Facebook Bait: How the algorithm wins by making you mad.
Troll Tales: Our funniest "Mean Comment" stories.
Dad Gripe: Why "Helpful" customers are actually the biggest obstacle.

For many ADHD dads, the 9-5 grind feels like a slow death, while our "true passions" sit on the sidelines waiting for us to go full-time. But is quitting your job always the answer?
In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re breaking down the Work vs. Passion struggle. We explore the "Novelty Expiration Date" that leads to job-hopping and the dangerous "Passion to Prison" trap where turning your hobby into a career actually kills the joy.
We’re sharing a new way to look at your career: not as a cage, but as the Lead Sponsor for your creative life. Learn how to use your "Jack of all Trades" versatility as a professional asset and why you should treat your passion project as a business before you ever walk away from a steady paycheck.
In this episode:
The Novelty Expiration Date: Why we get bored of jobs so fast.
Passion to Prison: Why demand avoidance kills the things we love.
The "Sponsor" Mindset: Re-framing the 9-5 as a tool for your dreams.
Scaling Sustainably: Moving from hobbyist to professional creator.

In this episode:
Correspondent’s Dinner: Breaking down the controversy.
From Season 4: Why this show is the ultimate mystery.

"I thought I was just a failure." For so many dads, receiving an ADHD diagnosis in their 30s or 40s feels like finally receiving the manual for a brain they’ve been fighting their whole lives. In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re talking to the undiagnosed and recently diagnosed dads who spent decades wondering why simple tasks felt impossible.
We dive into the spirals and discoveries as well as the relief of finally having an answer, and the common realization that happens when your child gets diagnosed and you see yourself in every single symptom. This isn't just about a label, it's about shedding the shame and learning how to actually lead your family with a brain that works differently.
In this episode:
The "Mirror" Effect: Realizing you have ADHD through your kids.
Why We Can't Connect: How diagnosis kills the internal critic, and helps navigate a social life
It's Not Being Self Absorbed: Understanding the need to relate through anecdotal experience, even if some people don't understand the intent.
Deep Breaths: Understanding the hard parts like overstimulation and RSD so that you can work through them.
