Sexy Dad Jokes

In today's Sexy Dad Jokes Quickie, your friendly neighborhood sexy dadders come together to offer our HOT take on Apple's announcement that it would fix its autocorrect function that uses "ducking" to replace one of our favorite expletives. Perhaps this crazy world we live in is not all ducked up beyond repair, after all. (We quack ourselves up.)

In our debut episode of SDJ Quickies, we dive headfirst into the controversy surrounding the casting of a black actress as the lead in the live-action adaptation of "The Little Mermaid." We explore the impact of representation and the challenges of reimagining beloved characters. Don't miss this thought-provoking exploration of art, identity, and the power of storytelling!

Are we willing and able to confront hard truths about the language we use? The SDJ Crew comes together to discuss ableism and how it relates to toxic masculinity, with the help of a very special guest! Also, Square 50s Guy heads up to Rhode Island and gets some advice from a certain, “familiar guy”!

The SDJ Crew share the role models they look up to who inspire them to achieve more and be the best they can be. A warm episode of inspirational conversation of who we are and what we strive to be. Also, Square 50s Guy stops by to share with Jonny Spazz who he looks up to… and the results may shock you!

The SDJ Crew gets all worked up about taking a moment to smell the roses. The boys discuss the importance of having an “Attitude of Gratitude” when admiring the world around us and the worlds beyond. We should strive to put down our devices and look away from the screens to see that there is more to life than all the silly things we all get so worked up about. Square 50s Guy gets advice on respecting nature from an environmental activist and former British spy who goes by the name of Pierce, and Merz officially becomes Ginger Gesus.

The SDJ Crew comes together this Independence Day to discuss the toxicity that occurs when certain freedoms end up damaging the freedoms of others, and how we striving to be good men should react. They discuss real-world events, including the recent SCOTUS Roe v. Wade debacle of 2022. Elsewhere, Square 50s Guy (Richard Richards the Third Jr.) tries to find a true understanding of freedom with help from a friend that is truly “more than meets the eye.”

In this Father’s Day episode, the SDJ crew look at the holiday itself and address the importance of fathers and father figures in our lives. To help with this journey, they look to the people to help share their thoughts and opinions on the matter. Also Square 50s Guy goes on a literal magical journey to find the true meaning of being a father-figure to people from a certain grey wizard named Gandalf.

The SDJ Crew looks to de-stigmatize mental health with special help from returning guest Dr. Russell Kolts. They discuss redefining how having the courage to be vulnerable as a man is True Strength, find out what compassion-focused therapy is, share the 4-7-8 breathing technique, and explore how to deal with anger and rage as men. Also, Square 50s Guy looks for advice on easing his mind in a galaxy far, far away with none other than the galactic wizard himself, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In this special episode, an elementary school teacher (and card-carrying member of the NRA), a grocery store worker, a father of two, and the son of two schoolteachers try to make sense of three mass murders in 10 days — each perpetrated by men.

The SDJ crew creates space to process grief, while trying to understand how someone could possibly murder 19 kids from ages 8 to 11 in cold blood.

Special guest Dr. Russell Kolts says we as a society have turned to guns as our primary threat regulation strategy, and have lost sight of using community, connections, and relationships as a way to build a sense of personal safety.

Hopelessness and despair, mixed with the hate, anger, and rage of toxic masculinity, combined with easy access to lethal weapons provide a sure path to the Dark Side.

In Level 3 of the SDJ Video Game Saga, the gang tackles a boss level of discussion about sexism in gaming. We take stock of female and nonbinary characters in the games we play, misogyny and sexism with girl gamers, and the lack of diversity in the gaming community — and how all that is slowly changing. Square 50s Guy wonders how a woman can go joystick to joystick with men.

The guys return for round two of the video game discussion to hit more serious topics: toxicity in the playing of video games. They discuss the toxicity in having video games becoming an addiction, creating toxic competition, and ultimately creating a hostile behavior for some, which leads to the notion of “rage quitting” and causing violence. They also take a moment to play their own game, in the form of Are You Smarter Than a Game Character with some special video game cameo appearances.

The boys fire up their consoles to level-up their masculinity XP by diving into a conversation around video games! They share their best gaming memories, while discussing the pros and cons of video games — for kids and for adults. We catch Square 50s Guy looking lost as he wanders around a gaming store. And we earnestly discuss what we can learn from the infamous Leeroy Jenkins about what it means to be a man. Level 1 of SDJ’s Video Games Saga.

Was Will Smith acting as a heroic guardian of his family? Or did he too quickly resort to violence, assaulting Chris Rock in front of a global audience? Everybody's talking about the whack heard 'round the world. We break down this #Oscars slapdown from the perspective of healthy masculinity, on our perpetual journey to be better men.

Would we rather be talking about LIFE rather than talking about DEATH? Absolutely. But it’s concepts like death — a taboo topic no one ever really talks about (and, of course, death’s cousin, FEAR) — that is holding us back from truly being able to LIVE a full LIFE.

So we confront, head-on, the fear in our lives that hold us back from being able to feel truly ALIVE.

The boys also talk about those without love, and we learn how Square 50s Guy joined Sexy Dad Jokes.

Rather than face the reality of losing an election, our sore loser-in-chief decided instead to incite a violent insurrection on the U.S. Capitol.

The gang talks dad jokes and toxic masculinity in this trailer!

The gang’s all here, and toxic masculinity is hot off the press. Ben & Jonny ask, What is toxic masculinity, and what are the basic principles of what a new, modern type of masculinity can look like? We observe a Merz in the wild, as we meet SDJ's newest contributor. Square '50s Guy nearly serves up a knuckle sandwich to Jonny. Merz talks about getting called out for saying “you guys.” And Ben pulls out his new power drill.

What is the gender spectrum? What's a fake alpha? And does getting a power drill make you a man? The gang gets into the meat and potatoes of it all in a revamped Sexy Dad Jokes!
