Ben Rector: The Great Sock Shootout

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 07:03:00 -0000

The fellas are back with our dear friend Ben Rector. It’s a classic dad-session—think driveway-wine-in-camping-chairs vibes. Ben drops some hilarious truth bombs, like his daughter's most accurate description of what he's like. He also breaks down his quest to look less like an accountant with his new robust beard and a legendary sock shootout method to find the perfect pair.

But it’s not all oatmeal-sifting rituals and badminton losses. The guys get into the "real" stuff, too. Ben talks about his career shift—choosing depth over scale so he can actually be present for his kids' math homework. It’s a funny, deep, and totally relatable look at suburban fatherhood.

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 07:08:00 -0000

How quickly could you get a horse to downtown Boston?

Well, today's guest McKittrick Simmons posed that very question to Dave and it really framed their 20+ friendship in a new way. After meeting his new friend, Jon McLaughlin, McKittrick breaks down the "neutron bomb" of intentional friendship and why "no theologians allowed" Bible studies are the secret to growth. Whether navigating the "beta test" of parenting, escaping the "shadow world," or bearing witness to friends, this deep dive is for you.

Andy Roddick: "Federer Ruined My Life for a Decade"

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 07:21:00 -0000

This week the fellas join up with former world number one tennis player and US Open champion Andy Roddick to discuss his legendary career and the transition into fatherhood. Jon is very excited!

Roddick reflects on holding the world’s fastest serve record, his humorous rivalry with Roger Federer, and the "light" feeling of retiring at age 30. He shares candid stories from the "School of Earth," including traveling the world alone at age twelve and why he believes parents must let their children fall sometimes to build resilience.

Roddick offers profound wisdom for sports parents, emphasizing the need to "control the controllables" and sharing Andre Agassi's advice on simplifying the path to excellence. From hosting Saturday Night Live to being the "third best player" on his high school team, Roddick brings his signature wit to a conversation about discipline, legacy, and the "white-knuckling" reality of parenting.

Riding the Pine for the Spirit with Jamie Winship

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 07:10:00 -0000

The fellas talk to Jamie Winship, a former DC police officer and federal agent turned global peacemaker. Winship shares "absolutely bananas" stories, including the time he felt a divine prompt to "de-arrest" a suspect who committed two felonies, leading to a year-long partnership and a miraculous outcome for the man’s family.

Then, they explore the Identity Method, which teaches listeners how to distinguish God’s voice from the "radio static" of internal accusations. Winship explains that your true identity is a gift to the world and an "inexhaustible energy source" that remains intact even when professional roles fail. From practical steps for confession and repentance to a preview of his new book, The War of Worldviews, this episode challenges parents to stop "future-tripping" and lead their families with fearless joy

How to Build a Chore Chart with Your Bare Hands

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:50:00 -0000

Whether you are currently on spring break or just trying not to be "spring broke," the struggle of dad guilt is a universal experience. The fellas dive into the work-versus-presence conundrum, exploring how early "husband guilt" evolves into a paternal fear of missing out on key milestones.

Then, they get honest about the triggers of feeling like a "warm body" while zoning out on soccer scores and the "comparison trap" sparked by other dads’ elaborate chore charts or "Spanish Wednesdays". From using a "brick" to battle phone distraction to the realization that most parenting is "caught, not taught," this conversation offers much-needed grace.

Matt Maher: Tacos, Topo Chicos, and "The Talk"

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 08:11:00 -0000

Buckle up, Dadville, because Matt Maher is in the house, and he’s bringing more than just hit worship songs. Ever wondered what happens when you walk into a college radio station, pretend to be Dave Barnes, and realize mid-song that your XLR cables aren't even plugged in?. Or how to survive "The Talk" with a 10-year-old using only tacos and a very necessary, panicked swig of Topo Chico?.

We’re diving into Matt’s Newfoundland roots—where the ocean is actively trying to kill you—and why he spent seven years as a "professional college student". From "Star Wars cantina" radio vibes to the "golden carrot" of the music industry, Matt breaks down why restructuring life around family is the real win. Plus, we tackle the baffling physics of girls' volleyball uniforms and why his daughter is basically a "method actor" for softball. It’s a masterclass in joy, resistance, and the visceral terror of letting go of your kid's bike for the first time.

Stephen Kellogg: Meeting Your Kids Where They Are At

Tue, 03 Mar 2026 08:15:00 -0000

In this episode, the fellas sit down with Stephen Kellogg—singer, songwriter, author, and "professional road dog." He joins the show from a waterless hotel in Indianapolis with a "lumberjack" vibe and a "hot word shower" of career reflections and parenting wisdom.

As he approaches his milestone 3,000th show, Stephen reflects on a 28-year career built on connection and relentless hard work. The heart of the conversation explores the "clunky" but beautiful journey of raising four daughters, from navigating their unique personalities to learning that every child requires a tailored version of their father.

The Gates of Teenage Thunderdome

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 08:18:00 -0000

The fellas welcome the official "Pastor of Dadville," Elliott Cherry back to the pod to discuss the hilarious and humbling realities of fatherhood, from the "gates of Thunderdome" (the teenage years) to the chaos of solo parenting at soccer games where treadmills are left unplugged.

Beyond the laughs, they dive into the profound concept of "making peace with the proximate"—learning to love the world as it is rather than demanding it be perfect. They explore the necessity of vulnerability, the beauty of being the "guy on the side of the road" who needs help, and the comfort of a "Misunderstood Messiah" who understands the lonely moments of parenting. Whether you’re looking for "homie yucks" or a rock to stand on, this episode provides a safe space for every dad.

The $200 Lemonade Stand

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 08:09:00 -0000

Think of this show as a "real-life ad for friendship" between two celebrity Nashville dads who are just like you. The fellas are just hanging out, laughing, and navigating the bizarre realities of life—like why the Kroger meat department employees are always so put out when you actually ask them to do their jobs.

This week, they discuss dealing with a "post-apocalyptic" ice storm that resets the day into "Tuesday 2.0" (hello, community laundry hubs!) and debate the merits of escaping prison in high-end Lulu running gear. We dive into life's most niche dilemmas: the shame of ordering decaf from a pompous barista, the awkward pedestrian "honor shuffle," and Dave's "most embarrassing story" involving a "Christian ring" and a police officer. From the parenting panic of a $200 lemonade stand to the necessity of stretching in public.

Dad GPT!

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 08:14:00 -0000

Using AI-driven prompts in their Dad GPT series, the felas tackle how marriage is "assailed by outside forces" like screaming babies and the difficulty of maintaining an "eternal foot down". A central theme is the battle for presence; they candidly discuss phone addiction and using physical "bricks" to stay engaged. Focusing on the "repair" over the "rip," the show aims for a future where children truly "like" their parents. It's an honest look at parenting, "brain butter" and all.

Greta Eskridge: Protecting Childhood in a Digital World

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 08:48:00 -0000

This week's episode features the fellas catching up with Greta Eskridge, a second-generation homeschooling mother and author, sharing a powerful narrative of redemption and proactive parenting. We talk about her latest book, It's Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn, and some practical advice for protecting kids in a digital world. She advocates for connection over policing, treating "the talk" similar to teaching a child to cross the street. By offering simple definitions and "what-if" scripts, Greta aims to remove the stigma of these "brown bag" topics, helping families find where true healing begins.

Tue, 27 Jan 2026 08:34:00 -0000

After two years away, the wives are back in Dadville—and the best part? They’re all still married to the same people! In this catch-up episode, the couples dive into the emotionally exhausting reality of raising older kids, where arguments are far more robust than the toddler days. They also tackle the hilarious side of parenting, like why their kids now narrate their father's rising frustration ("Daddy’s getting mad!") and Amy’s persistent habit of asking where every new friend went to elementary school. It’s a hilarious look at life, love, and the pursuit of "awesome dadding."

Dave opens up about his battle with ulcerative laryngitis, a condition that forced him into total silence and led to a profound spiritual moment of surrender while walking near Vanderbilt.

Stephen James: Leadership and Scented Candles

Tue, 13 Jan 2026 08:17:00 -0000

In this insightful return to Dadville, Stephen James joins the fellas to explore the "ecology" of leadership, parenting, and personal evolution. Focusing on Council Leadership, Stephen explains his transition from licensed therapy to viewing leadership as a lived practice rather than a mere class. He delves into the profound concept of "I amness", advocating for stillness and presence over constant productivity. This episode serves as a masterclass in embracing "weirdness" and the art of finding one’s way home.

Intentional Parents: Milkshakes in the Dark

Tue, 06 Jan 2026 08:03:00 -0000

We welcome Elizabeth and Brook Mosser from the Intentional Parents Podcast for a "copod" that—despite the catchy name—is definitely not a killer whale documentary. They tackle the "Godzilla of intentionality", a terrifying concept that often looms over parents like a massive monster with surprisingly tiny arms. Moving beyond "prescribed trails" and scripture-based scavenger hunts, the group focuses instead on ordinary moments, like sharing milkshakes in the dark or surviving "homeschool sarcasm." You’ll learn about TikTok’s "aura farming" and why the best parenting strategy involves leaving your "fixing" agenda in the car to focus on simple curiosity.

Jeff Foxworthy: The $138,000 Snake Bite

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 08:04:00 -0000

In this episode of Dadville, we dig into the life and mind of a true comedy legend—the best-selling comedy recording artist of all time, Jeff Foxworthy. We talk about the grind behind his success, including the years of focused “10,000-hour” effort it took just to get on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show, which he describes as “the Everest of comedy.”
He opens up about wrestling with the blank page, the strange “sickness” that pushes comedians to turn even the worst moments—like a $138,000 copperhead snake bite—into material. We also kick around the big creative questions: Are comics born funny, or can you actually learn how to be great?

Hart reflects on Tonic's multi platinum success, including the exhaustion of the '90s, during which he witnessed the aftermath of Princess Diana’s car crash and later slept for three days.

Tue, 11 Nov 2025 08:03:00 -0000

Wertz is back! Longtime friend Matt Wertz details the daily chaos of his "punk rock" family of four, including managing the mental load and surviving on essential baby tech like the Snoo and the revolutionary swivel car seat. But the true trauma centers on his $300 green hoodie that was ruined by an oil stain. We also reflect on the benefits of late-life fatherhood, having gotten the "hustling" out of the way, and recall the wild, early touring days of playing for sorority chapter meetings to promote Austin shows. Plus, Matt shares details on his exciting new custom songwriting venture, Song Portraits.

Kringles, Orchestras, and Core Memories

Tue, 04 Nov 2025 08:04:00 -0000

Welcome to the vortex of Jon and Dave, where the fellas discuss the profound struggles of the middle-aged musician—a job akin to being a 60-year-old accountant desperately trying to invent a new Greek number! They dive into the logistics of hosting a terrifying 100-kid Halloween rager that thankfully "backed down" from a midnight curfew to 11 PM.

Hear about the genuine fear of losing a child in a "nanosecond" at College Gameday, and the proud father who risked his life on a step ladder to hang up black lights. Find out if the plan to sell sweatshirts to the seventh-grade crowd was a "quick shipment" success. Plus, one host finally achieves the ultimate parenting victory: sleeping an unbelievable 11 hours and 50 minutes, a feat not accomplished since infancy. Finally, we tackle the burning regional question: Do you call it Thanksgiving, or The Thanksgiving? Hint: we don't know either.

Glen Henry: Winning Arguments in the Car (Alone)

Tue, 28 Oct 2025 07:16:00 -0000

We welcome back visionary storyteller Glenn Henry (Belief in Fatherhood) as he discusses his new book, Father Yourself First (dropping November 4th). Glenn gets real about the hard work of parenting, moving past the romanticized YouTube version. He shares the personal crisis that fueled the book, including throwing a tantrum in the office mirror and the dilemma of his inner child being jealous of the parent he became.

Hear how Glenn had to reconcile with his wife, even taking a CNA job (resulting in a very memorable story) to prove his willingness to work. We also unpack the unexpected Stanley Cup experience that led him from hating hockey to being "all in".

Andrew East: Squeezing the Genetic Sponge

Tue, 21 Oct 2025 07:12:00 -0000

The fellas sat down with former NFL long snapper, Vanderbilt grad, PhD candidate, and full-time force of nature, Andrew East. Dave kicks things off by recounting his extremely awkward cornhole tournament experience, a moment of social anxiety where he suddenly found himself in a new "gauntlet" of gigantic, ripped athletes.
Andrew then dives deep into the absurdity of competing on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test alongside his Olympic gold medalist wife, Shawn Johnson. He reveals the terror of backing out of shrinking tunnels and the grueling 15-hour interrogation where they were put in stress positions while listening to "pigs getting slaughtered."
Andrew shares why the zero-to-one jump was the hardest identity shift, leading him and Shawn to intensive counseling after having their third child. Plus, hear Andrew's "free-range parenting" philosophy and why elite athletes often adopt a "relaxed posture" toward sports. It’s a rollercoaster ride from awkward cornhole to the torture chamber!

Peter Enns: "Dad, Snakes can't talk."

Tue, 14 Oct 2025 07:21:00 -0000

Dr. Peter Enns joins the fellas for a candid discussion on faith, complexity, and institutional conflict. Enns recounts the "very scary" reality of losing his academic boundaries after teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary for 14 years, following the controversy surrounding his book, Inspiration and Incarnation. He delves into the core issue: the historical evidence showing the Bible is written by real people during real cultures. Enns shares his deeply personal journey through doubt, realizing he valued integrity and authenticity above all else.

He advocates for embracing the Bible’s multivocality—the way scripture "speaks with multiple voices" on the same topic. Ultimately, he argues, Christianity is about "faithing God," or simply trusting the divine presence.

Dave and Jon: When to Push Your Kids

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 07:00:00 -0000

They demanded it, so here we are: satisfying the masses with a conversation featuring just Jon and Dave. But even a simple chat can’t escape the daily grind. The fellas dive deep into the brutal reality of music promotion and Jon explains the existential crisis behind his deadpan viral video where he unwraps his own albums as gifts, and why his new album, Scenarios, required the discipline to only include songs he truly loves.

They also discuss youth club sports, debating the provocative idea that these leagues are a business. If parents are the customers, do they have the right to refuse tournaments or quit the team if the product isn’t delivered? Plus, Jon reflects on how competitive swimming and classical piano instilled the essential "acceptance of daily grind," even when all he wanted to do was quit.

Lee Dixon: "I Won't Even Say Their Name."

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 07:11:00 -0000

We finally did it! After five years of plotting, leveraging, and extreme Arsenal giddiness, we landed an absolute legend. Yes, Jon is honoring Dave’s obsession (who wore a full Arsenal kit, naturally), as we have the legendary Lee Dixon joining Dadville!

We dive deep into his legendary career, which started with his humble beginnings as a tiny striker whose permanent shift to right back only happened because a teammate got the flu. Lee shares gold on the "geography teacher" Arsène Wenger, the manager’s strategic "stretch war," and the hilarious confrontation with an angry Manchester United window cleaner during a team walk.

Dixon explains why he refuses to ever use the nickname of his rival and recalls the emotional final games, including the moment Tony Adams finally gave him an unforgettable compliment. He reveals the career-long anxiety of waiting to be "found out" and the utter terror of that Monday morning after Wenger delivered the final, perfect line: "Lee, it is time". This episode is five years in the making—and worth every minute!

Pure Athlete: Why Dads Cuss

Tue, 23 Sep 2025 07:01:00 -0000

Welcome to the ultimate therapy session for dads trapped in the youth sports mess! We’re coming in scorching with Pure Athlete co-founders Britt Lee and Brad Williams, who bring their hard-earned wisdom (and admissions of doing a lot of things wrong) to the table. We tackle the agonizing questions facing parents in the thick of it. Why are we compromising our spiritual commitments—like skipping church—for the sake of tournaments?
Britt and Brad share gut-punch moments and discuss why parents are prone to living vicariously through their children to heal our wounds. We debate the rise of early specialization and the parental dilemma of hearing your kid say, "We’re not done yet!" when they want to quit. Get ready to find your unbelievably clarifying goal as we prioritize relationship and mental health over the next trophy. Tune in and try not to be the guy crying in his car.

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 07:14:00 -0000

This week we have Matt Nathanson joining the fellas for a chat that dives into MySpace nostalgia, discussions about Hugh Grant-level hair, and the general 'churn' of parenting – sometimes involving mooning your daughter from the garage. The banter is sharp, the compliments are lavish (especially about Matt's violently attractive looks), and the self-deprecating humor flows freely. It's a laugh-out-loud, informal gabfest where even the worst onstage moments become gold!

Goodwin discusses his deeply personal look at the gut-wrenching experience of dropping his daughter off at Vanderbilt University and the emotional shift in fatherhood, including his daily "Good morning, buddy" texts.

When is it OK to Skip Church? with Elliott Cherry

Tue, 29 Jul 2025 18:09:00 -0000

At this point, Elliott Cherry is the official Pastor of Dadville. We bring him back for a yearly check-in, where we kick things off with giggles before digging into how much pastors pay attention to church attendance. Then, Elliott drops some golden takes on the vital role of forgiveness in marriage, why corporate worship is a powerful realignment with reality for our insanity, and the little known "Q-Tip" method for healthier relationships.

From Homeless to ... Here with Brett Swayn

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 07:04:00 -0000

Get ready for a wild ride as we chat with Brett Swayn, a chef from Perth, Australia, whose life journey is anything but ordinary. You'll discover how his profound spiritual experiences included feeling God playfully call him "dummy" and being "absolutely smashed in the spirit."

Hear about his less-than-glamorous arrival in Nashville via a Greyhound bus with a broken toilet, his ingenious method of using peeled 'loves' as earplugs in the mission, and why his ideal job involves "red boots and a cape."

From getting hilariously lost on the way to Green Hills to surprising dignitaries with his famous fish tacos, Brett’s story is a testament to faith, resilience, and a wonderfully weird sense of humor.

Charles Kelley: "I'm A Little More Country Club"

Tue, 15 Jul 2025 07:02:00 -0000

Dig coffee and vinyl? Help us out by taking this very short survey for a chance to win both!

The fellas finally wrangled Charles Kelley! We kicked things off with his legendary brag sheet—apparently, they stopped counting at 80 bullet points! As one-third of Grammy-winning country trio Lady A, you definitely know "Need You Now" (and so does AC radio, judging by how often Charles hears it instead of his own new solo single).

But it's not all chart-toppers! We delve into Charles's unique vocal warm-ups (it basically involves singing that song's intro), his declaration that he's "accomplished everything" he needed to with drinking, and how a surprisingly romantic night led to a surprise baby number two (he hilariously takes the blame!). Plus, that "not a big deal" band name change? Turns out, it was quite the story.

Chores, Contracts, and Core Memories

Tue, 08 Jul 2025 07:11:00 -0000

The fellas are back from vacation and have lots to catch up on! Jon recently returned from Europe. He bravely transformed into "vacation Jon," embracing the holiday spirit by not stressing about money and being ready to spend "enchanted money," despite usually being more frugal. He even endured intense cycling in Mallorca and had a run-in (kinda) with Obi-Wan.

Meanwhile, Dave took his own family to Trail West, a Young Life camp in Buena Vista Colorado, describing it as a resort experience focused on family bonding, conveniently without televisions in the rooms. They also delved into their kids' music tastes. Dave, ever the music enthusiast, admitted to running a "regime" in his car, making his kids listen to '90s R&B and hip-hop. He uses these car rides as teaching moments for music history. They also dive deep on getting your teenager their first phone.

The Mayor and Governor are Back!

Tue, 17 Jun 2025 07:26:00 -0000

We always just assume that David and Sissy (pronounced SIS-E) just want to hang. Well, we finally get that chance today while they talk about the new line of Daystar Dogs books for kids. The new books feature characters like Lucy and Owen, which focuses on teaching courage and resilience. The duo discusses the importance of resilience, especially as kids take fewer risks, the challenges of parental "over-attending" versus the "under-attending" of previous generations, and the difficulty of letting kids "sit in the struggle."

Oh yeah, he's also behind one of the biggest hits of the '90s, "Closing Time." We unpack Dan's incredible career, from his time in Trip Shakespeare and Semisonic to his ridiculously long list of songwriting and production credits, and his new instrumental piano album, 'Goodnight, Los Angeles.'

Plus, discover what his 17-year-old jazz bass self would think of it all ("What happened to the bass?") and why parenthood is the ultimate "helpful constraint."

The Dark Side of Sidewalk Chalk

Tue, 03 Jun 2025 07:08:00 -0000

In this episode, Dave and Jon dive deep into the hilarious (and sometimes infuriating) world of dad pet peeves. From Dave's intense dislike for sidewalk chalk on his property–a hill he declares he'll die on–to the endless battle against tiny wrappers on the floor and wet towels left anywhere but the rack, they air their most relatable frustrations. Jon shares his number one peeve, and they both lament the cans that don't quite make it into the trash. Amidst the abundance of humor, they grapple with the tension between wanting a tidy house and the perspective that "you won't care when they're 80."

Dave Kozak: Plan Early and Pay Less

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode, we’re tackling the boss-level challenge of parenting teens headed for college with Dave Kozak of Elite College Planning. The fellas get real about the stress of saving for college (spoiler: most families feel behind), the ever-growing cost of tuition, and whether the whole college experience is actually worth the hype—or just a very expensive four-year experiment.

Enter Dave Kozak, our financial Yoda for the episode. He breaks down college savings like it’s Money 101 for Hogwarts parents—especially 529 plans, which are basically your magical vault at Gringotts. He also explains the difference between “green money” (the scholarships and grants—aka free money, the good stuff) and “red money” (loans, aka the dark side). Plus, he’s all about helping parents level up their strategy when it comes to understanding financial aid, college pricing games, and how to help your kid channel their inner Elle Woods and advocate for themselves.

So if college planning feels like trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded, this episode’s here to help you figure it out—and have a little fun along the way.

Joey Odom: How Injured Do You Want to Get?

Tue, 19 Nov 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Listen in for a comedic dive into the chaotic circus of technology and family life takes center stage as our guest discusses how to balance it all. Joey Odom founded a company called Aro, which helps parents to be more intentional away from your phone. They tackle the universal truth that constant connectivity often means we're "disconnected" from what really matters—like catching your kid's epic soccer goal because you were too busy arguing with autocorrect. Joey recounts his own cringe-worthy moment: missing his son’s first goal while chasing a “must-read” meme on his phone. It’s the kind of story that makes you want to uninstall every app ever invented—except maybe the one that orders pizza.

Dadville Classic: Amy Grant

Thu, 08 Aug 2024 05:00:00 -0000

We have so many new members of the Dadville crew that we thought it would be great to revisit some classic Dadville episodes (don't worry, new episodes will still come every week). Our first Dadville Classic episode features the incredible Amy Grant. This quote really sums it up—but still listen to the episode, ok?

"It doesn't matter if someone's churched or unchurched, whether they know the Bible or don't know the Bible, anybody can talk to God. 'Thank you' and 'help' are good conversation starters."

—Amy Grant
