  • New listener and can't get enough.

    i grew up and still have an incredible father. i know that many out there do not have that same privlage and I'm so fortunate. A real father is not just around, but he is fully present and sets the trajectory for their children. It starts with how to treat their mother. How you treat your wife sets the example of how your kids will treat their mom, and when they grow up will show your sons how they should treat their wives and your daughters how they should expect to be treated and know that the... more

  • 5 stars!

    This podcast is awesome. It’s funny, authentic, and doesn’t try to pretend parenting is perfect. For the Dads makes fatherhood feel real, messy, and meaningful all at once. Definitely worth a listen for any dad.

  • Long time friend, first time listener

    Long time acquaintance of Sherm while growing up in the Funk before he was aptly named Fat Stafford. This is a great change of pace from the typical dad pods. Perfect mix of vulnerability, laughs and articulating the shared grind of fatherhood. Currently have 2 on the ground and 1 in the oven. In the trenches and glad to know there are other bro’s taking constant mortar fire and mustard gas with me! Good work y’all!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP #73 - A Surprise Video From Wrestling Icon Dan Gable! + An Insane Halloween Dad Hack | For The Dads
Q: So advice here, like I want to go to the dad. But I feel like the dad is just going to brush it off and be like, boys are boys. No, like your kid's an asshole. We need to address this because the mom, my wife talked to the mom and the mom turned it around saying that I'm too hard on her son at practice. Look around lady. I'm hard on all the kids at practice. That's why we're undefeated, getting ready to win a championship. But boys, any advice, any tips you got?
The hosts suggest focusing on how the child responds, teaching him to state when behavior makes him uncomfortable, and going to a teacher or nearby adult if it continues. As children mature, they can learn to set boundaries and stand up for themselves without becoming bullies. They note that speaking with the other parents may not help unless the conversation is collaborative.
EP #72 - 50 Bite Reports in 2 Years?! + Earning The Dad Medal Of Honor | For The Dads
Q: At what point do I shift the conversation from “we don't bite our friends” to teaching her how to bite strategically?
The hosts joke about the child hiding her bites, but also acknowledge that toddlers may not understand the force of their bites. They suggest working with daycare staff and coaching the child directly, while offering no definitive solution.
EP #70 - Spooktober Is Here! + Sherm’s Flag Football Team Needs A Win | For The Dads
Q: What's going on with the Spooktober merch and brand collaboration?
The hosts highlight new merchandise, Papa Team 6 gear, and collaborations, emphasizing brand pride and community spirit while also tying it into Halloween-themed products.
