Still one of my favorite podcasts to date. Great discussions about parenting, video games, and everything in between. Much love to Trevor and Jeff! My name is Matt and I have a 7yr old and a 1 yr old.
I love listening to this podcast on a weekly basis. Trevor and Jeff are great people who will read and answer your questions about gaming and fatherhood on the show. It’s great having a conversation with them and their tips have helped me with my kids and to find time to fit in gaming as a new father.
Always interesting and informative! great content. Love the show.

Hosts Trevor and Jeff feel like close friends and tha... more
