The Dumb Dads Finally Meet The Brainy Moms

from The Brainy Moms · host Dr. Amy Moore

For our 200th episode, we had to celebrate in a BIG way. In this sort of funny and highly engaging conversation, The Brainy Moms interview The Dumb Dads! Dr. Amy and Sandy bring on comedians Evan Berger and Kevin Laferriere to talk about what modern fatherhood actually looks like when the cameras are off and the kids are melting down. We laugh about the daily stuff that tests your patience and your parenting skills: motion-activated toys that will not stop talking, slime that somehow becomes part of your carpet forever, and the special frustration of kids’ gadgets that need a mystery battery plus a tiny screwdriver. The stories are funny because they’re painfully real and they lead to something useful: how to notice when you’re overloaded, own the mistake, and do the repair with your child.We also talk about social media algorithms, parenting comparison, and how to protect your mindset while still finding community. We share the “detective” framework we use with families, including tired, hungry, sick, or stressed checks, plus how unmet needs and weak cognitive skills like attention, auditory processing, and memory can drive behavior. Subscribe for more practical parenting advice with a brain-based lens, share this with a mom or dad who needs a laugh today, and leave a review to help other families find us. What’s the one parenting moment you can finally laugh about now?ABOUT US:The Brainy Moms is a parenting podcast hosted by cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Moore and Sandy Zamalis.
