Where R the Adults

Single Parenthood - Same title very different situations

This week, we are the adults. Nate and Paul pull back the curtain on life as single dads, swapping stories, survival tips, and the kind of unfiltered honesty you only get from guys who've had to Google "how to do a braid" at 7am on a school day. Paul brings the divorced dad perspective; Nate brings the widower's lens. Two different roads, same destination: figuring it all out one day at a time. Presented with Minimal Edits! What We Get Into: * How each of them landed in the single dad life — and how those paths feel different (and surprisingly similar) * The moments that hit harder than expected, and the ones that turned out weirdly okay * Parenting wins, parenting failures, and the blurry line between the two * What nobody tells you before you're doing it alone * Finding humor in the chaos — because what's the alternative? Some more Nate Musings!

Episode 12 - Road Tripping Tunes

This week the boys went full nostalgia overload with a road trip CD draft. Not just albums, but CD's. You'll find out.  Paul and Nate each picked 15 CDs they'd want locked in the car for a long haul. From STP and Nirvana to Porcupine Tree and Hans Zimmer, the picks were personal and passionate. I am sure we got some wrong, let us know! wrta.pod@gmail.com Then things got philosophical with some classic Nate musings, and naturally, things devolved from there. Toilet humor may or may not have been involved.

Episode 11 - AI Anxiety

Alright… we’re back. After a few weeks off — which is just enough time for the world to get weirder —  Where R the adults? AI isnt slow down. Its writing songs, term papers.  Its generating art.

And how many were made by AI trying to convince us AI is totally fine and not at all plotting to replace us? Tonight we’re diving into: – AI in Super Bowl ads – Whether we can (or should) legislate it – Why half of us are excited… and the other half are quietly wondering if we should learn how to farm again Is AI our new assistant or our new overlord Welcome back. Let’s get into it. #WhereRTheAdults #AI #Anxiety #SuperBowlAds #FutureOfWork #TechCulture #ArtificialIntelligence #AIHype #HumanVsMachine #PodcastLife #parenting #seahawks

Episode 10 - Top 5 Domestic Visits and Bucketlists

This week we’re counting down our Top Five Domestic Locations — the places that already stole our hearts and the ones still sitting high on the bucket list.  From iconic cities and jaw-dropping national parks to must-see states and legendary landmarks, we break it into two lists: Top Five We’ve Been To and Top Five We Still Need to See.  Along the way, we wander into current events, travel daydreams, and end with the kind of banter that only comes from friends arguing over what really counts as “worth the hype.” Come travel with us. #travel  #travelpodcast  #bucketlist  #domestictravel  #nationalparks  #nationalparklife  #roadtrip  #travelinspo  #wanderlust  #exploreamerica  #usatravel  #citytravel  #naturelovers  #outdooradventures  #boston  #chicago  #yellowstone  #denali  #nationalparkadventures  #traveldreams  #beenandbucketlist  #topfive  #podcastlife #adulting #kids #parenting

Episode 9: Titanic

Welcome back to Where R the Adults? This week, we’re diving into one of the most infamous disasters in modern history: the Titanic. A ship that was supposedly unsinkable… yet launched with doors that didn’t function the way they should, lifeboats that weren’t fully utilized, and systems that failed when they mattered most. Tonight, we’re not just talking about the iceberg — we’re talking about design decisions, human judgment, and institutional confidence. Why were basic safeguards ignored? Lifeboats? Morse code failures, And how did so many small things stack up into one massive catastrophe? Because once again, we’re left asking: Where R the Adults? We’ll catch you up on what we’ve been up to the last couple of weeks — life, work, random chaos — and then we’ll wrap things up with some lighter questions and fun hypotheticals to cleanse the palate after a heavy topic. Titanic first, questions last. Let’s get into it.  #WhereRTheAdults #Titanic #Titanic #Podcast #History #HumanError #SystemsFailure #LeadershipMatters #CriticalThinking #HistoryLessons #Adulting #LongFormPodcast #PodcastDiscussion #SocietyAndCulture #DeepDivePodcast #CasualButSerious #BigQuestions #PopHistory
