Just Another Monday Night

Should a Dad Be Handy?

Should dads know how to fix things, or does it not matter anymore? This week we debate whether being handy is still something dads should care about. There's a genuine argument that knowing how to handle basic repairs is practical and gives your kids something useful to learn from watching you. There's also an argument that none of that has anything to do with being a good dad, and that we've just collectively decided it does because that's what our fathers did. We go back and forth on where this expectation even comes from and what it means for dads who grew up without anyone teaching them this stuff in the first place.

What Were Our Parents Thinking?

This week we spent a lot of time talking movies. We kick things off with our very first movie memories, then dive into the films we actually love and the ones we shouldn't have watched as kids. That leads to a bigger conversation about how our parents handled the whole "is this movie appropriate?" question and how we plan to navigate that with our own kids. If you've ever snuck into an R rated movie before you were ready, argued about what counts as a "family film," or just need some good comedy, this one's for you.

Just a Taste of Monday Nights - Teaser Episode

This isn’t a full episode—it’s a quick peek at what’s coming your way. We hit record without a plan and ended up talking about hair thinning (and the magic of Rogaine), why Wendy’s Frostys are chocolate and not vanilla, and fatherhood wins and fails of the week. If you’ve ever cleaned up spilled food, driven to practice, or wondered if you’re doing this dad thing right, you’re in the right place. Future episodes will dive deeper into sports, good food, faith, and the everyday wins (and fails) that make life real. Join us for this short teaser and get ready for conversations that remind you: even in the routine, there’s something worth talking about.
