Then we get into it: red flags you spot in other dads. The ones smoking in the car with a kid in the backseat. The ones who lose their kid at the park and don't even flinch. The "I got him a chicken tender, I did my job" dads. We talk drinking, smoking, checked-out providers, and the guy who doesn't know his own kid's bedtime. It gets honest fast.

We close it out arguing about whether dads today are actually better than our dads were and somehow end up ranking sitcom TV dads, questioning Ghost from Power's parenting, and debating hot dog etiquette. Real talk, real dads, real chaos.

We're diving into the lessons we wish someone handed us sooner — the stuff we're now trying to pass down to our own kids. From what we wish our parents had taught us, to the father figures (blood or not) who put us on game, to how sports and teamwork shaped who we are as men and dads — this one's got heart, some hard truths, and of course, the usual chaos in between.

Plus: Song of the Week, and we've got thoughts on Russell Westbrook calling it a career.
