Episode 9 - St Patrick's Favorite Drink?

🍀 St. Paddy’s Sips & Friday Night Lights Beginnings 🍀 This week on Old Fashioned Dads, we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day the right way—pouring up some bold cocktails, testing out a few Irish-inspired mixes, and, as always, getting a little carried away in the process. But between the clinks of the glass and questionable drink decisions, we get into something real—our 15-year-old kids kicking off a brand new football season. The excitement, the pressure, the early practices, and that wild moment when you realize they’re not little kids anymore… they’re stepping into the game for real. We talk about what it’s like as dads watching them chase it, the pride that hits different, and yeah… figuring out how hard you’re allowed to yell from the sidelines without embarrassing everyone involved. It’s laughs, it’s whiskey, it’s fatherhood in real time—where St. Paddy’s chaos meets the start of something big under the lights. So grab a drink, settle in, and join us for a fun, honest, and slightly unhinged episode. 🍻

Episode 8 - Taste The Rainbow

Episode 8: Taste the Rainbow 🌈 (But Make It Questionable) What started as a normal conversation took a hard left turn… straight into chaos. This week on Old Fashioned Dads, we dive headfirst into one of the most unhinged ideas we’ve ever discussed — including a “Let Jesus Take the Wheel” tramp stamp that absolutely no one was prepared for. Somewhere between questionable tattoos, bad decisions, and the kind of debates you only have after two Old Fashioneds, things escalated quickly. We talk about: • The wild things people commit to permanently • Why modern culture has zero chill • The difference between bold and “what were you thinking?” • And how dads somehow always end up judging… but laughing It’s ridiculous. It’s slightly inappropriate. It’s deeply unserious. Pour yourself a drink and taste the rainbow responsibly. 🎙️ New episodes every two weeks. 🥃 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
