Beyond the Porch: Dadalogues Unfiltered Podcast

Dadalogues EP 13 - Echoes of Our Fathers: Love, Loss, and Fatherhood

In this post–Father’s Day episode, we open up about the dads who shaped us and the ones we’ve lost. Cody reflects on the impact of losing his father and how those memories hit differently this time of year. Chris shares what it meant to celebrate Father’s Day with three generations of Krich men, and we talk about the lasting impressions our dads made—even in moments we didn’t realize at the time. We also dive into the idea of “don’t kick the dog”—how we sometimes take out our stress on the people (and pets) who just want to love us. It’s a reminder to protect the joy in our homes, practice patience, and show up with kindness. From overstimulated kids and coping with boredom to rainy baseball season endings and new summer adventures, we take it all in stride with stories from our childhood and life lessons we’re still figuring out. Beware, we may have had a few before this episode!

Dadalogues Ep 11 - Porches, Pit Stops & Paying It Forward

This week on Beyond the Porch: Dadalogues Unfiltered We’re hitting three big themes—American grit, personal projects, and remembering those who shaped us. Cody shares what it felt like to stand at the edge of the Talladega track, soaking in the full-throttle sound of V8 engines and pure American energy. Chris reflects on an emotional week—honoring the memory of a friend and reconnecting with people he hadn’t seen in over 15 years. We also get real about our DIY struggles: Chris building a porch, Cody doing a suspension job on a Jeep (and trying to align it with a tape measure…). And finally, we slow down to appreciate the wisdom and work ethic of older generations—farmers, helpers, and everyday legends. 🎙️ It’s a mix of horsepower, heart, and hard-earned lessons.

Dadalogues Ep 10 - The Dadship, Growth & Escaping the Comparison Trap

This week, we’re digging into what makes the dad journey real—and really challenging. From the underrated importance of dad-to-dad friendships to the personal growth that sneaks up on you between diaper changes and driveway basketball games. We open up about how far we’ve come since those rookie years and how we’re still learning every day. And let’s be honest—we all fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to those Instagram-perfect dads. This episode is about recognizing the value in your own chaos, leaning on your crew, and being proud of the version of fatherhood you're living—even if your truck’s not clean and your flannel doesn’t match.

Dadalogues Ep 9 - The Small Stuff, the Shut-Off Switch, and Making Dad Friends

We also tackle the strange and awkward world of trying to make new friends as grown men and why having a dad crew might just be one of the most underrated things we need. It’s equal parts real, reflective, and ridiculous—because that’s how we roll on the porch.
