Different Roads, Same Destination: Learning to Be the Dad They Need

Pokémon Go to Sleep: Summer Break is Super Effective (at Breaking Us)

Josh and Marcus are your summer survival squad this week — Corey’s still missing (probably evolving somewhere). This episode is a full-on dad-style battle royale where parenting meets Pokémon. Josh brings the toddler chaos. Marcus brings the teenage angst. Together, they take on the real Summer League: snack negotiations, moody teens, and that final week of break that feels 14 years long. It’s absurd. It’s sweaty. It’s relatable. And it’s got enough dad energy to make even a wild Snorlax roll over. Press start, and prepare to blackout from parenting fatigue.

A Dad’s Guide to Running on Fumes

Josh goes solo to keep it real about that deep-down tired every parent knows—the kind that no nap can fix. From juggling toddler meltdowns and teenage drama to the invisible mental load and creeping burnout, Josh shares what it really means to show up when you’re running on empty. Packed with honest reflections, pop culture nods, and a reminder that sometimes, just showing up is the biggest win. If you’re a dad—or just someone who’s tired as heck—this episode’s for you.

Different Roads, Same Destination: Learning to Be the Dad They Need

In this introspective solo episode, Josh (aka Bearded, aka The Parental Variant That Respawns With Snacks) opens up about what it really means to be a present, intentional dad across multiple stages of life. From raising a toddler navigating speech therapy and early intervention to parenting two teenage stepdaughters he proudly calls his own—this is the unfiltered reality of showing up, messing up, and trying again. With a little humor, a lot of heart, and just enough dad logic to keep things grounded, Josh explores: * What to do when parenting doesn’t match the version you imagined * Learning to speak your kids’ unique emotional languages * The pressure to "get it right" when you feel like you're winging it * Why parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being present This episode isn’t just for dads—it’s for anyone trying to be someone their people can count on… even when they’re running on fumes and microwave coffee.

Top 10s Across the Multiverse: Volume I

Welcome to the most unhinged listicle episode in the Multiverse. Josh, Corey, and Marcus each unleash their own Top 10s—from petty superpowers we’d take without hesitation, to which games we think are Top 10. It’s hilarious. It’s chaotic. And yes, Marcus gets roasted so hard we’re legally required to include a fire extinguisher with this episode. This isn’t just a filler ep. This is therapy with dice rolls, dad jokes, and deep cuts from the Multiversal archives. You might laugh. You might cry. You might question your entire childhood. Either way, welcome to Volume 1. And we are just getting started.
