43: No More Non-Dad (or: "There's a wolverine, and you have to sleep train it")
Big news - Tyler's gonna be a dad!
We discuss the things Tyler has to unlearn from the rest of us, our Dad accidentally(?) roasting all of us, and how long we'd all last on the show "Alone." Even when Tyler presents with life-altering (and incredibly relevant to this show) news, we still can't stay on topic very long.
Two episodes in a couple weeks look at us being actual real podcasters!
42: Gideon Says the Big One (or: "A sweet taste of pre-Covid life")
We pulled this one out of the vault (Kevin forgot to release it)!
Gideon says a bad word, Andy goes on a run, Derek's kids call him by his name, Tyler has a very relatable "You know what I hate?" - it's a fun one. We actually recorded this back in February, so you can hear the joy in our voices that the last 7 months has drained from our bodies.
Also there's a couple moments where Andy sounds like he's recording from inside his own dishwasher, sorry about that, he'll be fined.
We missed you!
41: More Quarantine Life (or: "I'm too fat for my jorts")
The phrase "HeyDad's stupidest episode ever" gets thrown around a lot these days, but we're pretty confident this one takes the throne.
We discuss apartment timeshares, discover maternity clothes, debate the best ways to get a pharmacist's romantic attention, and introduce a new character: Corey Allis.

40: Ryan Rucker (or: My Favorite GirlDad)
*This episode was recorded pre-Coronavirus, so you will hear a glorious dearth of quarantine, social-distancing, shelter-in-place, etc. references.
Ryan Rucker is an old friend of Tyler's and a much better dad than any of the HeyDad guys. Tyler and Kevin talk to him about his experiences as a black father, a GirlDad, an aspiring ice cream tycoon, and so much more.

39: Quarantine Life (or: "I meant it as a compliment.")
Well y'all we're sheltering in place. Spending a whole lot of time with our families. Allowing more screen time than ever.
So do you want to listen to us complain and make dumb jokes? To listen to Kevin whine? To listen to Tyler find zen in a soup label? To be harangued into buying Andy's dog? To hear whatever weird thing Derek does during the intro?
Put on some headphones, find a corner of your house, hug your knees, rock back and forth, and hang out with us.

38: Potty Training (or: "You're not ready for Module 4")
Happy New Year! It's time for a topic that's been requested a lot - potty training!
The guys discuss the various ways they've messed this up, judging other parents, mailing it in, and provide zero practical advice.

Special episode: Guns (or: "we're here to ruin Thanksgiving.")
We're back with a very different episode from our usual silliness.
Kevin goes deep into the issue of guns and mass shootings in America, prompted by the fears that he (and so many others) feel when dropping their kids off at school.
We know this isn't what you're used to, but being a dad colors every single aspect of our lives - silly stuff and serious stuff alike.
This is a long and emotional exploration of an issue that we are very bad at talking about in America, and we hope that you take the time to dive in with us. Let's try to talk about this without just yelling at each other.
And fear not, we'll be back with a much more normal episode (Potty Training!) very soon.
37: Back to School (or: "Yard Duty Tenure.")
School's been back in for a while so we should probably talk about it.
Parent teacher conferences, standing up to fake bullies, explicit lanyards, "yes, and" with your kid's teacher as they tell you what your kid is doing wrong - this episode has all the good stuff.
New segment! Dad facts, where we talk about basic things we should already know but for sure don't.

36: Halloween (or: "Depression Peanuts and G.I. Joe Turds”)
Halloween recap! The guys talk about a T-Rex fight at school, Tyler's encounter with a banshee, Kevin calls his sweet beautiful oldest son a wuss, and there's a lot of arguing about tootsie rolls. Also somehow we make "it's a me, Mario!" sexy...
Also "You know what I hate?" is back, and somehow the whole segment is about Taco Bell.

35: Andy's Vasectomy (or: "You're still a man.")
And we're back!
Season 3 kicks off with quite possibly our best episode ever. There comes a time in a man's life when he needs to stop making people. That moment recently came for Andy, and naturally Tyler and Kevin decided to chaperone the whole experience. Derek had work or something, he will regret not being there to his dying breath.
The car ride there, tailgating in the hospital parking lot, spitballing vasectomy-related business ideas, telling stories of all the dumb stuff Kevin did during his vasectomy...if you're not excited about this episode then we probably shouldn't hang out.

34: Performance Review (or: "San Francisco's hottest club is...")
If being a dad is "the most important job you'll ever have," then it's time for a performance review. Tyler does some very basic internet research on how to do one of these, then pulls Kevin into the office with HR to talk through his performance this last quarter.
Also, the BuzzFeed game is back!

33: Shea Serrano (or: "Splotch and Blob")
A very special epsiode of the HeyDad Podcast, where we get a chance to interview Shea Serrano from The Ringer. He's an amazing writer, full-on Thing on the Internet, and a Dad of three boys. We talk about positivity, hard conversations with his kids, and which rapper/character from The Office he would choose to be his dad.
FYI: There is some adult language in the interview - so if you're listening with kids, you've been warned! :)
Also, "You know what I hate?" is back!

32: Father's Day (or: "I text you every time I try")
It's Father's Day! So naturally we asked the only non-dad on the show to talk about his parenting angst.
Tyler shares his perspective on losing the "non" in his title, and the rest of the guys share about how and why being a dad means so much to them.
Also somehow Tyler transitions from an endorsement of survivor into a new take on an old classic - "You know what I miss?"

31: Lies (or: "Did you know in the olden days everyone drank blood?")
Lies! A story about Kevin's 1st grader regularly coming home with wildly incorrect information becomes a wider conversation about lying and kids.
Andy shocks everyone with some truly terrible boyfriend behavior in the cold open, and the guys tell very real stories about the worst lie they've ever told (and we unintentionally lifted some of this from The Office, but imitation is the highest form and all that).

30: Mother's Day (or: "Somehow we got our mom to be on the podcast!")
Mother's Day!
The guys describe how watching our wives give birth makes us borderline worship them, Tyler seamlessly works a Beyonce reference into a discussion about birth, we all talk about some of the things we love about watching the women in our life be moms, and DEREK INTERVIEWS OUR MOM.
Also we thought it would be a good idea to start a Mother's Day episode with a circumcision anecdote, because we're idiots.

29: The FurBaby Special (or: "it's time to talk about non-dad stuff")
Tyler takes the wheel and finally gets his chance to convince us that having a dog is like having a kid.
Tyler lays out the similarities, Andy makes some confessions, and Derek finds a way to mention his remodel again. The discussion ends with a story that was almost too gross for this podcast.
Plus we have a dog theme song that plays for so, so long.

28: Cleaning (or: that fat dude from Seinfeld got eaten on the toilet")
How, just how does everything get so messy so quickly? The podfathers discuss messiness, conflict about said messiness, expectation setting, and how to deal with one of the more annoying realities of parenting. You know what I hate is back, as well as "Is my Kid a Psycho?"

27: Worrying (or: "is it legal to bleach a kid’s mouth?")
Having a kid turns even the most optimistic of us into worriers. You love them so much and they're so dumb and dangerous and helpless. In this episode we talk about irrational worries, the co-parenting dynamic when one person is more worried about something, what this podcast will be like when our kids are teenagers, and so much more. Also Derek basically does an unpaid ad for Disneyland during "Is my kid a psycho" and we all resent him for it.

26: My kid is too hard on himself (or: "You failed because you were ticklish")
Episode 26. What do you do when your kid is too hard on himself? What is the right amount of worrying about a kid? Is it ok to project current behavior into the future (what will be be like when he's 15)? How do you teach a kid to value some adult's opinions over others?
But it's not all too heavy-handed and whiny, we do our usual stupid stuff too. There's our first unanimous "yes" to an "Is my kid a psycho?" voicemail, and You Know What I Hate? is back!

25: Parenting for an Audience (or: "Blueberry-related crimes.")
Heyoooo it's new episode time. Today we're talking about when you have to be a dad in front of other people, and all of the complications that brings. Derek lives at his in-laws for two months, Andy delegates potty training to a baby sitter, and Kevin's kids desperately want to be dropped off at Grandma's house, rather than having Kevin stay and hang out.
In other news, the BuzzFeed game is back and also we have a new "Is my kid a psycho" and you are NOT READY for the ending.

24: Secrets (or: "She sees surprises as insults")
Y'all be cool ok it's time to talk about secrets. Specifically, how our kids cannot handle them at all and make the process of keeping any kind of secret/surprise from them a total nightmare for the whole family. We also talk about creating a vibe in the house where kids don't feel the need to hide stuff, we tell each other some of our own secrets, and submit a new entry for the world's shortest, saddest story (we're on your corner Hemingway).

23: Holiday (or: "Did...did someone tell you?")
We also talk about whether the holidays are better/worse with kids, Kevin tells a story of how he accidentally badgered his daughter into putting her life in danger, Andy briefly nerds out about gingerbread houses, and the guys all have way too much fun with Grinch and Willy Wonka references.
Don't forget!

22: Keeping Score (or: "This Nintendo Switch ain't gonna buy itself.")
This is part two of the conversation we started last episode, and it's a good one. It starts with Andy telling an amazing story involving public transportation and diarrhea, and it ends with a new segment: "Is my kid a psycho?" -- where YOU can call in and tell us about your kid and we will give our professional opinion on how weird your kid is. We've reached the final level of parenting: judging other kids.

21: Who's going to take care of me? (or: "Welcome to podcast therapy.")
20: Sports (or: "My strength will overcome my chubby big brother")
So many questions left unanswered for next season. Will they? Won't they? Who shot Mr. Burns? Will these guys ever stop talking over each other(no)? Can Derek keep raising the stakes for his weird intros(yes)?
Also we talk about sports, and how to be a good sports dad. Andy tells us about his first fight, and clearly misremembers how cool he was. Kevin tries not to resent his kid for not being as into sports as he is. Tyler talks about peeing his pants on third base and injuring several 10 year olds. Derek is on the podcast too.
