Big news - Tyler's gonna be a dad!  We discuss the things Tyler has to unlearn from the rest of us, our Dad accidentally(?) roasting all of us, and how long we'd all last on the show "Alone." Even when Tyler presents with life-altering (and incredibly relevant to this show) news, we still can't stay on topic very long. Two episodes in a couple weeks look at us being actual real podcasters!

The HeyDad Podcast

43: No More Non-Dad (or: "There's a wolverine, and you have to sleep train it")

We pulled this one out of the vault (Kevin forgot to release it)! Gideon says a bad word, Andy goes on a run, Derek's kids call him by his name, Tyler has a very relatable "You know what I hate?" - it's a fun one. We actually recorded this back in February, so you can hear the joy in our voices that the last 7 months has drained from our bodies. Also there's a couple moments where Andy sounds like he's recording from inside his own dishwasher, sorry about that, he'll be fined.  We missed you!

42: Gideon Says the Big One (or: "A sweet taste of pre-Covid life")

The phrase "HeyDad's stupidest episode ever" gets thrown around a lot these days, but we're pretty confident this one takes the throne.  We discuss apartment timeshares, discover maternity clothes, debate the best ways to get a pharmacist's romantic attention, and introduce a new character: Corey Allis.  ICYMI: We launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/heydad If you love this show and want to help us make more, please consider supporting us there.

41: More Quarantine Life (or: "I'm too fat for my jorts")

*This episode was recorded pre-Coronavirus, so you will hear a glorious dearth of quarantine, social-distancing, shelter-in-place, etc. references. Ryan Rucker is an old friend of Tyler's and a much better dad than any of the HeyDad guys. Tyler and Kevin talk to him about his experiences as a black father, a GirlDad, an aspiring ice cream tycoon, and so much more.

40: Ryan Rucker (or: My Favorite GirlDad)

Well y'all we're sheltering in place. Spending a whole lot of time with our families. Allowing more screen time than ever.  So do you want to listen to us complain and make dumb jokes? To listen to Kevin whine? To listen to Tyler find zen in a soup label?  To be harangued into buying Andy's dog? To hear whatever weird thing Derek does during the intro? Put on some headphones, find a corner of your house, hug your knees, rock back and forth, and hang out with us.  ICYMI: We launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/heydad If you love this show and want to help us make more, please consider supporting us there.

39: Quarantine Life (or: "I meant it as a compliment.")

Happy New Year! It's time for a topic that's been requested a lot - potty training! The guys discuss the various ways they've messed this up, judging other parents, mailing it in, and provide zero practical advice.  ICYMI: We launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/heydad If you love this show and want to help us make more, please consider supporting us there. Come on dooo it.

38: Potty Training (or: "You're not ready for Module 4")

We're back with a very different episode from our usual silliness.  Kevin goes deep into the issue of guns and mass shootings in America, prompted by the fears that he (and so many others) feel when dropping their kids off at school.  We know this isn't what you're used to, but being a dad colors every single aspect of our lives - silly stuff and serious stuff alike. This is a long and emotional exploration of an issue that we are very bad at talking about in America, and we hope that you take the time to dive in with us. Let's try to talk about this without just yelling at each other. And fear not, we'll be back with a much more normal episode (Potty Training!) very soon. 

Special episode: Guns (or: "we're here to ruin Thanksgiving.")

School's been back in for a while so we should probably talk about it.  Parent teacher conferences, standing up to fake bullies, explicit lanyards, "yes, and" with your kid's teacher as they tell you what your kid is doing wrong - this episode has all the good stuff.  New segment! Dad facts, where we talk about basic things we should already know but for sure don't.  ICYMI: We launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/heydad If you love this show and want to help us make more, please consider supporting us there. Come on dooo it. 

37: Back to School (or: "Yard Duty Tenure.")

Halloween recap! The guys talk about a T-Rex fight at school, Tyler's encounter with a banshee, Kevin calls his sweet beautiful oldest son a wuss, and there's a lot of arguing about tootsie rolls. Also somehow we make "it's a me, Mario!" sexy... Also "You know what I hate?" is back, and somehow the whole segment is about Taco Bell.  ICYMI: We launched a Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/heydad If you love this show and want to help us make more, please consider supporting us there. Come on dooo it.

36: Halloween (or: "Depression Peanuts and G.I. Joe Turds”)

And we're back! Season 3 kicks off with quite possibly our best episode ever. There comes a time in a man's life when he needs to stop making people. That moment recently came for Andy, and naturally Tyler and Kevin decided to chaperone the whole experience. Derek had work or something, he will regret not being there to his dying breath. The car ride there, tailgating in the hospital parking lot, spitballing vasectomy-related business ideas, telling stories of all the dumb stuff Kevin did during his vasectomy...if you're not excited about this episode then we probably shouldn't hang out.

35: Andy's Vasectomy (or: "You're still a man.")

If being a dad is "the most important job you'll ever have," then it's time for a performance review. Tyler does some very basic internet research on how to do one of these, then pulls Kevin into the office with HR to talk through his performance this last quarter.  Also, the BuzzFeed game is back!  Call anytime and leave us a voicemail with a story of your kid being a psycho - (415) 340-2349 -- IG: @heydad Twitter: @heydadbox email: podcast@heydad.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/heydad/support

34: Performance Review (or: "San Francisco's hottest club is...")

A very special epsiode of the HeyDad Podcast, where we get a chance to interview Shea Serrano from The Ringer. He's an amazing writer, full-on Thing on the Internet, and a Dad of three boys. We talk about positivity, hard conversations with his kids, and which rapper/character from The Office he would choose to be his dad.  FYI: There is some adult language in the interview - so if you're listening with kids, you've been warned! :) Also, "You know what I hate?" is back!

33: Shea Serrano (or: "Splotch and Blob")

It's Father's Day! So naturally we asked the only non-dad on the show to talk about his parenting angst.  Tyler shares his perspective on losing the "non" in his title, and the rest of the guys share about how and why being a dad means so much to them. Also somehow Tyler transitions from an endorsement of survivor into a new take on an old classic - "You know what I miss?"

32: Father's Day (or: "I text you every time I try")

Lies! A story about Kevin's 1st grader regularly coming home with wildly incorrect information becomes a wider conversation about lying and kids. Andy shocks everyone with some truly terrible boyfriend behavior in the cold open, and the guys tell very real stories about the worst lie they've ever told (and we unintentionally lifted some of this from The Office, but imitation is the highest form and all that).

31: Lies (or: "Did you know in the olden days everyone drank blood?")

Mother's Day! The guys describe how watching our wives give birth makes us borderline worship them, Tyler seamlessly works a Beyonce reference into a discussion about birth, we all talk about some of the things we love about watching the women in our life be moms, and DEREK INTERVIEWS OUR MOM. Also we thought it would be a good idea to start a Mother's Day episode with a circumcision anecdote, because we're idiots.  Call anytime and leave us a voicemail with a story of your kid being a psycho - (415) 340-2349 HeyDad: The code "heydadpodcast" gets you $10 off at HeyDad.com - do it!
