  • Great advice for new dad

    I actually found this podcast during one of my 3 am feedings with my baby girl 3 months ago and been hooked ever since. The pod with Modern Family dad was my favorite but wish you would have asked him if we learned anything about being a dad from the show. And I love that this pod celebrates men and dads, because that’s not the default. Oh and really interested to see what you do for Father’s Day. And last thing love you on SNL, ok I’m done.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Wayne Brady
Q: Is it important to you when you think about these moments from shaving to tying a tie with your son who is two, is it going to be important for you?
Hell yes. Absolutely. Those pieces of ritual are important.
Wayne Brady
Q: Did you ever feel conflicted, disappointed in the fact that your father was this principled man who said, I'm gonna be a provider and a protector to my mother, but perhaps was not that for you?
No, I've never thought about my father in the negative light of you weren't here for me.
Wayne Brady
Q: Was there a point where you had any relationship with your dad at all?
No, I was raised by my grandmother after my grandfather passed away and my father was a distant satellite.
Ty Burrell
Q: Should I be approaching dating that way? Should I be giving guys second dates even if on the first one, I'm like, fine?
No, because if you didn't come away from this first date with a physical draw or real admiration for that person, it's probably not worth pursuing.
Randall Park
Q: What did your father instill in you that you now employ or would like to instill in your daughter?
He instilled the idea that love is not just about material things, but about family and meaningful relationships.
