The Dad Voice Podcast

You can’t spell ADHD without Dad.

This is a comedy podcast about marriage, parenting, and navigating adulthood with ADHD.

We’re two dads figuring out executive dysfunction, time blindness, overstimulation, hyperfocus, unfinished projects, and the daily chaos that comes with raising kids while your brain refuses to color inside the lines.

Each week we drop:

A focused episode exploring ADHD in marriage, fatherhood, relationships, work, and emotional regulation
A Dad Blast episode where the structure disappears and the real-life ADHD energy shows up

We’re not therapists. We’re not gurus.
We’re dads trying to be better husbands and fathers while learning how our brains actually work.

If you’re an ADHD dad who’s tired of feeling behind, misunderstood, or like you’re the only one struggling, you’re not.

Subscribe and figure it out with us.

The Smartphone Stepping Stone: Preparing Your Kid for Tech
Handing a young child an unrestricted smartphone is like handing them the keys to a sports car before they can reach the pedals. In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re diving into the absolute battlefield of parenting in the digital age: When should you give your kids smartphones, and how do you prepare them responsibly? We break down the psychological risks of early, unmonitored smartphone access, and ways to ensure you're not setting your kids up for failure in a tech forward world. More importantly, we discuss starter technology and stepping stones you can use before handing over a full smartphone. From kid-safe smartwatches (like Gabb, Bark, or Gizmo) and brick phones to restricted tablets, we share practical dad strategies for teaching digital responsibility without giving away the keys to the entire internet. In this episode: The Readiness Check: How to know if your child is mature enough for a phone (it’s not just about age). Stepping Stone Tech: Using kid smartwatches, basic feature phones, and stripped-down devices as training wheels. Building Digital Literacy: Teaching boundaries, privacy, and online safety before giving full access. Managing Screen Dopamine: Preventing tech addiction when you have an ADHD household.

You’re Not Lazy: The Truth About Executive Dysfunction
"Why can’t I just get up and do the thing?" In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re taking on one of the biggest misconceptions about the neurodivergent brain: Executive Dysfunction. We break down what executive dysfunction actually is, why it gets wrongly labeled as "laziness" or a lack of willpower, and the practical systems we use to manage it when our brains hit a wall. Then, we roll into our Dad Blast segment! We discuss the heavy updates surrounding the Lindsay Clancy trial, as well as the new Netflix docuseries (Death of the Pastor's Wife) examining the tragic case of South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller and Mica Miller. On a lighter note, Cole shares his very first experience stepping foot inside a Costco and the immediate, blinding sensory overload that comes with bulk shopping. Finally, we wrap up with a Dad Gripe every household understands: people who share your streaming account but refuse to use their own profile, completely destroying your carefully curated recommendations with reality TV and kids' shows. In this episode: Executive Dysfunction Explained: The difference between being lazy and being neurologically stuck. Management Hacks: How to break executive paralysis and get moving. The Costco Initiation: Surviving the sensory nightmare of bulk shopping. Dad Gripe of the Week: Streaming profile squatter etiquette. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.

Welcome to the brand new era of The Dad Voice! To give you the best possible show without burning out, we are officially merging the Dad Blast directly into our mainline episodes as a dedicated segment! In this week's episode, we tackle a great Dadvice submission from our listener Eugene, who asked about the inevitable changes and sacrifices we make when transitioning into fatherhood. Eugene shared his story of having to trade in his beloved, souped-up Honda Civic for a practical, family friendly Lexus prompting a deep dive into how our identities, hobbies, and priorities shift the moment we bring a kid home. Then, we kick off our first ever embedded Dad Blast segment! We settle the undisputed law of School Folder Colors (Math is BLUE, Science is GREEN, English/Language Arts is YELLOW, and Social Studies is RED...no exceptions). Finally, Phil puts Cole on the hot seat with a high-stakes "Would You Rather": Would you rather live next door to a nuclear power plant or a massive tech data center? In this episode: The New Format: Merging the Dad Blast into the Mainline show. Dadvice Submission: Eugene’s transition from modified Civic to family Lexus. The Identity Shift: Balancing who you were before kids with who you need to be now. The Folder Law: Settling the back-to-school subject color scheme once and for all.

How Corporate Greed is Ruining Football Season | Dad Blast
Gridiron season is back, but so is the endless nickel-and-diming. On today's Dad Blast, we’re cutting straight into the corporate greed taking over football season. From absurd ticket prices and parking fees to needing six different streaming subscriptions just to watch your favorite team, we rant about how the ultimate fan experience is being turned into a paywalled cash grab. Next, we shift over to combat sports to discuss Islam Makhachev breaking Anderson Silva's legendary UFC win streak record, what does this mean for his legacy, and where does he rank on the all-time list? Plus, we celebrate the return of Reacher and why it’s peak "dad TV." Finally, we wrap up with some pure, unfiltered host roasting as we break down Phil’s fashion style which is effectively based on what he can loot from his grandfathers corpse, and the undeniable fact that he walks around like an cartoon character. In this episode: The Football Cash Grab: How corporate monetization is killing the fan experience. UFC History: Islam Makhachev surpasses Anderson Silva’s historic record.

"Weed or Lotion?" & The Texts That Give You Panic Attacks
"We need to talk." Four simple words that can instantly ruin a dad’s day and send his heart rate into the stratosphere. In this loose, late-night style Dad Blast, we’re opening up with a Dad Gripe that hits way too close to home: people who send vague, ominous text messages when the actual reason for texting is completely harmless. Then, things get ridiculous as Cole hosts a brand new game show for Phil called "Weed or Lotion?" Can Phil tell the difference between a high-end strain of cannabis and a seasonal Bath & Body Works body wash just by the name? (It’s significantly harder than you think). Finally, we take a sober turn to discuss the true crime media cycle and how cases like the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie—which completely dominated the news early in the year—seem to fade from headline coverage over time despite remaining unsolved. In this episode: •Dad Gripe: The physiological panic of "We need to talk" texts. •"Weed or Lotion?": Phil guesses between dispensary strains and lotion scents. •The Media Cycle: Discussing the Nancy Guthrie missing person case and internet true crime fatigue.

The ADHD DIY Trap: Why Dads Struggle With Home Projects
"Why hire a professional when I can buy $500 in tools and take 6 months to do it worse?" In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re getting real about the chaotic, expensive, and hilarious world of DIY life as an ADHD dad. We break down the classic ADHD DIY cycle: the initial surge of hyper-focus dopamine, the late night YouTube research sprees, the optimistic trip to the hardware store, and the inevitable moment where the project hits 80% completion and vanishes from your working memory forever. From unfinished baseboards and half-tiled backsplashes to emergency plumbing fixes, we share our worst home improvement disasters, the shame of the "Project Graveyard," and how to finally know when it's time to put down the drill and just hire a contractor. In this episode: The Hyper-Fixation Pipeline: Why every new DIY project feels like our new life calling. The 80% Rule of Renovation: Why finishing the last 20% feels like the hardest part. The Tribal Knowledge Trick: Learning to lean on your tribe to help you figure it out Knowing Your Limits: Balancing the urge to "save money" with preserving your sanity (and marriage).

Social Media is Warping Normal Human Interaction | Dad Blast
When did everyone start acting like they’re living inside a TikTok feed? On this Dad Blast, we’re calling out one of our biggest social pet peeves: people who perform unprompted in public. From random strangers belting out songs in the grocery store aisle to people forcing uncomfortable comedy bits into normal conversations, we break down why "Main Character Syndrome" makes everyone around them want to crawl out of their skin. Then, we dive into a much-needed conversation about the overwhelming relief of stepping away from social media. We discuss how being hyper-connected distorts normal human interaction, warps our expectations of everyday conversations, and how logging off brings back genuine peace. In this episode: Public Performance Gripe: Why unprompted singing and forced bits ruin the vibe. The "Main Character" Trap: How social media ruined basic situational awareness. The Social Media Exit: The massive mental relief of logging off. Restoring Real Connection: Relearning how to have normal, low-pressure conversations. NEW TO THE DAD BLAST?

Are You Relaxing Wrong? The Secret to ADHD Recovery
When the house is in total chaos, how do you actually turn your brain off? In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re breaking down the science and reality of how ADHD dads wind down, recharge, and recover from overstimulation. We dive into the big divide: Passive Relaxers vs. Active Relaxers. Why do some dads need to sit on the couch and do a whole lot of nothing, while others need to hit the gym, go to a bar, or jump into a high-energy hobby just to feel normal again? We talk about shedding the guilt around how you take your breaks and how to communicate your recharge needs to your partner without starting a war. In this episode: The Sensory Overload Trap: Why traditional "relaxation" (like sitting in a quiet room) can make ADHD anxiety worse. Passive Relaxers: The art of guilt-free zoning out and rotting on the couch. Active Relaxers: Why working out, socializing, or hyper-fixating is actually a form of rest for high-dopamine brains.

Nobody Knows How to Load a Dishwasher | Dad Blast
Is comedy dying, or was the White House Correspondents' Dinner just that painful? Today on The Dad Voice, we’re recapping the latest Dad Blast and cutting straight through the noise. We open by picking apart the total comedic shortcomings at the Correspondents' Dinner, what happened to the comedy, and why is political humor so painful to watch lately? Then, we break down the latest massive headlines surrounding LeBron James and his move to Philly. Next, we take a trip down memory lane to talk about the absolute peak of Saturday Night Live—discussing the stars of our generation's SNL cast (the Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Seth Meyers, or Bill Hader eras) and why modern sketch comedy just doesn't hit the same way. We also give a massive shoutout to the lit-RPG phenomenon Dungeon Crawler Carl and why it’s the ultimate hyper-fixation read for any dad into gaming and sci-fi. Finally, we wrap up with a Dad Gripe that happens in almost every kitchen in America: Nobody knows how to properly load a dishwasher. We're calling out the people who place bowls flat side up, block the spray arms, and treat the bottom rack like a free-for-all. In this episode: Correspondents' Dinner: Why the comedy bombed. LeBron's Big Move: Breaking down the latest NBA headlines. SNL Nostalgia: Who belongs on the Mount Rushmore of our generation's cast?

Recalibrating Your Life: How To Navigate Unexpected Change
When life throws a curveball, your instinct is to fight it, and figuring out how to work through it can be the hardest part. In this mainline episode of The Dad Voice, we’re getting real about adjusting to major life changes, navigating unexpected pivots, and why trying to get back to "how things used to be" is a trap. We break down practical strategies for managing big transitions when you have an ADHD brain. From giving yourself permission to operate at a sustainable 80% capacity instead of burning out at 100%, to focusing on the small, controllable routines in your day, we share how to keep your foundation solid when everything around you is shifting. In this episode: Resistance Vs Revision: Why being able to pivot is actually easier than fighting the change altogether. The 80% Rule: Why perfectionism is the enemy of adaptation. Controlling the Controllables: Focusing on micro-routines during chaotic transitions. The Growth Catalyst: Reframing uncomfortable shifts as a step forward, not a setback.

Thermostat Wars: We Finally Get Why Dads Defend the A/C with Their Lives
From international conflict to the battle over the living room temperature, we are tackling it all in this Dad Blast. We open with major political breaking news: the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham and what his absence means for the political landscape. We also follow up on the increasingly bizarre and sketchy public appearances surrounding Mitch McConnell, what is actually going on behind closed doors in Washington? Then, we take a trip through modern history to break down the ongoing, cyclic tension between the U.S. and Iran. How many times have we been on the brink of conflict with Iran over the years, and why does history keep repeating itself? Finally, we wrap up with the ultimate domestic Dad Gripe: The Thermostat Wars. Why do family members feel the need to adjust the temperature by five degrees every time they walk past the wall? We’re defending the dial and explaining why touching the thermostat without permission is a direct declaration of war in a dad's house. In this episode: Lindsey Graham: Breaking down the passing of South Carolina's most notorious turd. Mitch McConnell Watch: Sifting through his sketchy presence and public statements.

Basement Blast: Lazy RSVPs, Bad News from Sony, & Moving Studios
Welcome to the bunker. Today on The Dad Voice, we are officially broadcasting from our brand-new, designated studio space in Cole's basement! We’re kicking off this Basement Blast with a quick update on our recording schedule before diving straight into the news that has the entire internet talking. First up, we look at the absolute media void and growing mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell’s health and his extended hospitalization. Why is the timeline being kept so top-secret, and what's really going on?? Then, we tackle a massive corporate betrayal in the gaming world. Sony’s official announcement to discontinue physical game discs by 2028. As physical media preservationists, we break down why an all-digital future is an anti-consumer nightmare that strips away ownership from the players. Finally, we wrap up with a highly relatable Dad Gripe: The absolute death of the RSVP. We are calling out Millennial and Gen Z parents whose anti-social tendencies mean they simply refuse to let you know if their kid is showing up to a birthday party or a backyard cookout. In this episode: Studio Update: Welcome to the new basement setup. The McConnell Mystery: Sifting through the rumors surrounding the Senator's health.

The Season 3 Prologue: Get to Know the Dads Behind the Voice
Before we officially cut the brakes on Season 3, we’re taking you behind the microphone. While we are currently on a short production break setting up our brand new studio space, we wanted to drop a special Season 3 Prologue episode. We realized that while we talk to you every week, we’ve never truly sat down to interview each other. In this special episode, we pull back the curtain on the lives, histories, and brains behind The Dad Voice. We dive deep into how our own fathers influenced our parenting styles (for better or worse), the comedic legends that shaped our sense of humor, and the specific podcasts that inspired us to start this show in the first place. Plus, Cole goes down memory lane to share his roots, history, and experiences coming up in the hardcore and heavy music scene.

Kyle Busch, Caleb Shomo, & The Boroughs: The Final Dad Blast Before Break
This is our final Dad Blast for a couple of weeks, and we are leaving it all on the table. We start today with some incredibly heavy and shocking news in the sports world: the passing of NASCAR champion Kyle Busch. We take this moment to look inward and have a real conversation about the absolute necessity of dads taking care of their physical health, managing stress, and listening to their bodies before it’s too late. Next, pulling from our roots in the heavy music scene, we break down the news of Caleb Shomo (Beartooth) publicly coming out as gay, and how his wife and the scene have reacted to the announcement. On a lighter note, we review the new Netflix sci-fi series The Boroughs discussing why its unique, older-cast perspective is a brilliant and fun twist on the classic alien invasion genre. Finally, we wrap up with a classic Dad Gripe: The people on Facebook and Instagram who carefully scribble out or emoji over their license plates in photos. We break down the hilarious lack of logic behind this internet paranoia—newsflash: bad guys can just look at your car in the Walmart parking lot. In this episode: In Memory of Kyle Busch: A wake-up call for men's health and wellness. Caleb Shomo's Announcement: Breaking down the Beartooth news and heavy music scene culture. The Boroughs on Netflix: Why this sci-fi thriller hits the mark. Dad Gripe: The utter pointlessness of hiding your license plate online. NEW TO THE DAD BLAST?

The Season 2 Finale: Growth, Cringe, and The True Crime Story Never Told
50 episodes. A full year of chaos, dad gripes, and hyper-fixation deep dives. We have officially reached the Season 2 finale of The Dad Voice, and we’re closing things out by taking a look at where we started, where we're going, and delivering on a long-awaited promise. A while back, a short clip went viral where Cole mentioned a horrific event from his past but never got to tell the full story. Tonight, he finally opens up. Cole breaks down the chilling reality of the fate of his neighbor who went missing in July 2013 and was tragically discovered to have been murdered by her boyfriend, Cole discusses what it was like living right next to that environment, the shock of the discovery, and his experience being interviewed by Fox News the morning after the arrest. Before things get too heavy, we take a walk down memory lane to react to our cringey, awkward Episode 1. We look at how our production, audio, and chemistry have evolved over 50 episodes, and we pull back the curtain on our massive plans for Season 3. In this episode: The Promise Fulfilled: Cole’s true story about his former neighbor, Angelique Sylvester. The Flashback: Reacting to the technical glitches and awkwardness of Episode 1. The Growth Check: Staying consistent for 50 episodes with an ADHD brain. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.

The Dumbest Thing We Saw This Week (+ NFL & Video Game Rants) | Dad Blast
You cannot make a 10-hour video game into a 2-hour movie word-for-word. Today on The Dad Voice, we’re cutting the brakes on a massive Dad Gripe regarding video game adaptations. We are calling out the purists who demand that movies and TV shows be note-for-note replicas of the source material. Why do people expect a medium built on player agency to translate perfectly into a passive viewing experience? It makes no sense, and we're breaking down why creative liberties are actually a good thing. We also dive into the utter stupidity of the Chud the Builder because he sucks and he's lame and deserves to be made fun of. Plus, we’re breaking down the newly announced NFL schedule release, looking at the biggest primetime matchups, bye weeks, and who got absolutely screwed by the schedule makers. In this episode: Chud the Builder: Breaking down the self-inflicted disaster. NFL Schedule Drop: Our instant reactions to the primetime slates.

The ADHD Fitness Blueprint for Dads: Routine, Sleep, and Dopamine Hacks
Why is sticking to a gym routine so brutally hard for the ADHD brain? In this episode of The Dad Voice, we’re breaking down why traditional fitness advice fails neurodivergent men and how to build a system that actually sticks. We dive into the psychology of Gamifying Fitness to keep your dopamine high, the massive role that Sleep plays in executive function, and how to use Meal Prepping to completely remove the decision fatigue from your diet. If you’re tired of "grazing" through the pantry out of pure boredom, we show you how to take the thought out of eating so you can hit your goals. (Disclaimer: We also touch on why starting an underground Fight Club in the local Sheetz parking lot across from the gym is probably NOT a sustainable workout plan (legally), no matter what the gas station supplements promise.) In this episode: Gamification: Turning your workout tracking into a video game. The Sleep Deficit: How a bad night of sleep kills your dietary discipline. Meal Prep Magic: Defeating the "ADHD Grazing" habit. Building the Guardrails: Creating low-friction routines you can stick to for years. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.

Why People at Gas Stations are the Absolute Worst | Dad Blast
Sir David Attenborough has officially hit 100, and nature is still trying to kill us. In this Dad Blast, we’re celebrating a century of the world's most iconic voice while simultaneously panicking about the Hantavirus. We managed to find the humor in biological threats and rodent-borne illness, because if you don't laugh, you'll cry Then, we shift gears to a Dad Gripe that unites us all: The Gas Pump Squatters. We’re calling out the people who treat the fuel island like their own personal parking space. You know the ones; they finish pumping, leave the car at the nozzle, walk inside to buy a lottery ticket, use the restroom, and contemplate their life choices while a line of 10 cars forms behind them. In this episode: Attenborough at 100: Happy Birthday to a legend. The Hantavirus: Making the scary stuff funny (and what to actually look out for). Dad Gripe of the Week: Why you need to move your car as soon as the "click" happens. NEW TO THE DAD BLAST? The Dad Blast is our unfiltered, high-energy companion to The Dad Voice Podcast.

ADHD Silver Linings & The Great Celebrity Variant Theory
Today, we’re celebrating the "Magic" in the madness. While we usually talk about the struggles of ADHD, this episode is all about the Silver Linings. We’re diving into the creative fire, the hyper-focus wins, and the unique perspective that only a neurodivergent brain can provide. Of course, it wouldn't be The Dad Voice if we didn't get a little derailed. We spend a good chunk of time exploring our theory on Celebrity Variants, the idea that Hollywood only has about 50 "base models" of people and everyone else is just a slight doppelgänger variant. (Wait until you hear our take on the Jack Black to Jonah Hill spectrum). We also introduce our brand new segment: Dad Hypes! To balance out the Gripes, we’re sharing the things that actually make being a dad awesome. Today’s hype? The undisputed glory of the Mid-Week Day Off. In this episode: The Silver Linings: Why we wouldn't "cure" our ADHD if we could. Celebrity Variants: Our list of the most uncanny Hollywood doppelgängers. Dad Hypes: Why a Wednesday off hits different than a Saturday. Just Goofing Off: A much-needed break from the heavy stuff. ABOUT THE DAD VOICE PODCAST: You can't spell ADHD without DAD.
