Searching for that parenthood balance so when our kids are old they look back and say, "yeah, my dad (or mom) was awesome," however we get there. And while we love our kids unconditionally, that doesn't mean we're wimpy pushover dads who have lost every shred of dignity and respect in the home. Let's find that balance together. We are Max Valverde and Matt Naylor. We are MILKLESS.

  • Best dad podcast by a mile

    I’ve been looking for a good dad podcast for awhile and Milkless is far ahead of the pack. Accessible but still deep and thoughtful. Will continue to listen to these chuckleheads as long as they are cranking out content.

  • I want to hang out with these guys

    This podcast is my new favorite thing. As a dad who tries hard to be a good parent, but also gets annoyed with his kids, and also likes to swear, this podcast feels like coming home. It’s so fun, and I wish we could hang out in person and share stories about fatherhood. Must listen!
