PAPA DO PREACH: The Dad Podcast

EPISODE 27: MERRY DAD-MAS

In this special Christmas-themed episode of Papa Do Preach: The Dad Podcast, we’re joined by the crew from the Rowdy Friends Podcast as Lane Oliver sits down with us for a festive, laugh-filled crossover episode. The dads swap stories about growing up with different holiday traditions, how Christmas looked in their households, and how those traditions have (or haven’t) carried over into dad life today. The conversation takes some hilarious turns as we reminisce about snowy holidays, childhood chaos, and unforgettable moments like tackling snowmen, winter mischief, and other wild stories that could only happen during the holidays. Just when things couldn’t get more fun, a surprise guest makes a return to the show, adding even more laughs, nostalgia, and unexpected twists. It’s a warm, rowdy, and relatable holiday episode full of dad humor, memories, and Christmas chaos you won’t want to miss. 🎄🎙️

EPISODE 26: THE ANIMAL WHISPERER? feat. Sean Austin

In this episode of Papa Do Preach: The Dad Podcast, we sit down with our friend Sean Austin for a wide-ranging, laugh-filled conversation about the realities of fatherhood. Sean shares what it’s really like growing up alongside your kids while raising them in sports—the wins, the lessons, and the moments that matter most along the way. Things take a hilarious turn as Sean recounts his truly horrible streak of luck with animals, proving that not every dad story goes according to plan. And of course, no episode would be complete without our fan-favorite segment, Grumpy Old Men, where our trio leans into their inner curmudgeons for plenty of relatable complaints and big laughs. It’s an episode packed with heart, humor, and the kind of dad talk every parent can appreciate.

EPISODE 25: DAD-JITSU feat. Spencer Selmon

This week on Papa Do Preach, we sit down with the one and only Spencer Selmon, the mind (and muscle) behind Swamp Fox Jiu-Jitsu, for a conversation that’s equal parts insightful, unhinged, and laugh-out-loud dad-core. We dive into the serious side of fatherhood as Spencer breaks down what it really means to protect your kids, both physically and mentally. But in true dad-podcast fashion, we don’t stay serious for long. Soon we’re swapping ridiculous stories about the “animals” we call our children, celebrating the strangely emotional journey of owning a Roomba, and debating whether a robot vacuum counts as part of the family. Of course, no episode is complete without our fan-favorite recurring segments: This Week in Dadding — where we discover just how many things can go wrong in seven days. Grumpy Old Men — where we come face-to-face with the alarming (and hysterical) reality that it takes almost nothing to set us off anymore. It’s an episode full of hilariously relatable dad-rage, unexpected wisdom, and the kind of chaotic storytelling only dads can deliver. New episode drops every other Wednesday for the holidays — don’t miss out!

EPISODE 24: HALLOWEEN TREATS feat. Thomas Blackmon

In this laugh-filled Halloween episode of Papa Do Preach, we sit down with the one and only Thomas Blackmon for a conversation that starts with costumes and candy and somehow ends with dad guilt, dad pride, and dad hypocrisy… the good kind. We swap stories about trick-or-treating with our families — the chaotic costumes, the over-eager toddlers, the teens who swear they’re “too old” but still want the candy — and we dive into that universal dad reflex: getting protective the second someone else pokes fun at our kids, even though we’ve been roasting them lovingly for years. It’s the classic dad double standard. We get to laugh at our own families… but everyone else? Watch yourself. We visit our regular segments of This Week In Dadding and the all important Grumpy Old Men section and it's sure to, once again, not disappoint. Between the jokes, the parenting confessions, and the moments of, “Yeah, I guess we do the same thing,” this episode is equal parts heartwarming and hilarious. Grab your Halloween candy (preferably the stuff you stole from your kids’ stash) and join us for a fun, honest, dad-level deep dive into family, boundaries, and the spooky season chaos we all pretend we’ve mastered.

EPISODE 23: THE CLEANSING feat. Adam Richardson

In this heartwarming and insight-packed episode of Papa Do Preach: The Dad Podcast, we welcome special guest Pastor Adam Richardson for an inspiring conversation about faith, family, and fatherhood. Pastor Adam shares his perspective on how structure and stability form the foundation of a strong home, and why spiritual grounding can be a guiding force for dads navigating the everyday chaos of family life. We dive deep into the importance of quality time—how to make the moments that matter truly count—and discuss simple, practical ways to bring more intention and calm into your household routine. Pastor Adam also opens up about his own experiences as a father, husband, and faith leader, offering powerful insights that any dad can relate to. Of course, we keep up with our regular segments: * This Week In Dadding: where we swap stories, wins, and mishaps from the past week of dad life. * Grumpy Old Men: and this week, Jake shocks everyone with a surprising (and maybe even heartwarming?) take that no one saw coming. It’s an episode filled with laughter, reflection, and real talk about what it means to lead your family with purpose and love. 🎧 Tune in for encouragement, dad wisdom, and a few good laughs—because even the best dads need a little preaching now and then.
