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…

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. Al…

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.patr…

*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, a…

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 intr…

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 ser…

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…

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 launch…

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 ri…

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 …

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 …

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 -…

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 fro…

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 Moth…

Tyler takes the wheel and finally gets his chance to convince us that having a dog is like having a kid. Tyler lays out the similarities, Andy makes some confessions, and Derek finds a way to mention his remodel again. The discussion ends with a story that was almost too gross for this podcast. Plus we have a dog theme song that plays for so, so lo…

How, just how does everything get so messy so quickly? The podfathers discuss messiness, conflict about said messiness, expectation setting, and how to deal with one of the more annoying realities of parenting. You know what I hate is back, as well as "Is my Kid a Psycho?" Call anytime and leave us a voicemail with a story of your kid being a psych…

Having a kid turns even the most optimistic of us into worriers. You love them so much and they're so dumb and dangerous and helpless. In this episode we talk about irrational worries, the co-parenting dynamic when one person is more worried about something, what this podcast will be like when our kids are teenagers, and so much more. Also Derek ba…

Episode 26. What do you do when your kid is too hard on himself? What is the right amount of worrying about a kid? Is it ok to project current behavior into the future (what will be be like when he's 15)? How do you teach a kid to value some adult's opinions over others? But it's not all too heavy-handed and whiny, we do our usual stupid stuff too.…

Heyoooo it's new episode time. Today we're talking about when you have to be a dad in front of other people, and all of the complications that brings. Derek lives at his in-laws for two months, Andy delegates potty training to a baby sitter, and Kevin's kids desperately want to be dropped off at Grandma's house, rather than having Kevin stay and ha…

Y'all be cool ok it's time to talk about secrets. Specifically, how our kids cannot handle them at all and make the process of keeping any kind of secret/surprise from them a total nightmare for the whole family. We also talk about creating a vibe in the house where kids don't feel the need to hide stuff, we tell each other some of our own secrets,…

Holiday episode! We're not gonna bury the lede here, Derek uncorks an incredible story at the end of this episode that will shake you to your very core. We also talk about whether the holidays are better/worse with kids, Kevin tells a story of how he accidentally badgered his daughter into putting her life in danger, Andy briefly nerds out about gi…

Episode 22 is all about keeping score, the pettiest, most tempting, and most unsatisfying aspect of co-parenting. (Extremely Emperor Palpatine voice): Good, gooooood, let the resentment grow.This is part two of the conversation we started last episode, and it's a good one. It starts with Andy telling an amazing story involving public transportation…

Season Premiere! The long wait is over.This episode centers on a conversation we've been having a lot lately: how do I take care of myself while I'm taking care of all of these other people? How do I ask for help? Do I still get to have needs even though all of these shorter people living in my house spend all day yelling their needs at me?But you …

Season finale! Podcasts are doing "seasons" now, and we're not trying to get left out so guess what? SEASON FINALE.So many questions left unanswered for next season. Will they? Won't they? Who shot Mr. Burns? Will these guys ever stop talking over each other(no)? Can Derek keep raising the stakes for his weird intros(yes)?Also we talk about sports,…
