Dads of the Multiverse Podcast

On Earth-718, we’re talking about dad side quests.The hobbies we gave up. The friendships we let fade. The goals we put on pause. The parts of ourselves we slowly lost while trying to be good dads, good husbands, good providers, and the guy everyone expects to hold it all together.This episode is a lighter but honest reminder that sacrifice and disappearance are not the same thing.Your family matters.But dad to dad…You’re part of the story too.

A transmission from Earth-301.In this solo episode of Dads of the Multiverse, Josh talks through one of those uncomfortable adult friendship moments where somebody snaps, shuts down, or says they’re done, and you realize the thing that set them off probably wasn’t the whole story.Sometimes the last straw wasn’t the whole weight. It was just the final thing added to an already impossible pile.This episode is about pressure, friendship, pride, anxiety, checking on your people, and learning how to care without crowding. It’s about realizing the project, the schedule, the podcast, the plan, or whatever “thing” you’re trying to build can’t matter more than the people it was supposed to connect.No gossip. No airing anybody out. Just an honest message from a dad trying to choose the better timeline.Check on your people. Choose a better timeline.Listen to Dads of the Multiverse wherever you get your podcasts.

Before the full crew returns, Josh sits down solo to get back into the rhythm, talk about where his head has been, and why Dads of the Multiverse still matters. It’s a quick, honest reset about dad life, burnout, creativity, and building The Ultimate Dad Squad into something bigger than just a podcast.

Josh and Marcus are your summer survival squad this week — Corey’s still missing (probably evolving somewhere).This episode is a full-on dad-style battle royale where parenting meets Pokémon. Josh brings the toddler chaos. Marcus brings the teenage angst. Together, they take on the real Summer League: snack negotiations, moody teens, and that final week of break that feels 14 years long.It’s absurd. It’s sweaty. It’s relatable. And it’s got enough dad energy to make even a wild Snorlax roll over.Press start, and prepare to blackout from parenting fatigue.

Josh goes solo to keep it real about that deep-down tired every parent knows—the kind that no nap can fix. From juggling toddler meltdowns and teenage drama to the invisible mental load and creeping burnout, Josh shares what it really means to show up when you’re running on empty. Packed with honest reflections, pop culture nods, and a reminder that sometimes, just showing up is the biggest win. If you’re a dad—or just someone who’s tired as heck—this episode’s for you.

In this introspective solo episode, Josh (aka Bearded, aka The Parental Variant That Respawns With Snacks) opens up about what it really means to be a present, intentional dad across multiple stages of life. From raising a toddler navigating speech therapy and early intervention to parenting two teenage stepdaughters he proudly calls his own—this is the unfiltered reality of showing up, messing up, and trying again.With a little humor, a lot of heart, and just enough dad logic to keep things grounded, Josh explores:What to do when parenting doesn’t match the version you imaginedLearning to speak your kids’ unique emotional languagesThe pressure to "get it right" when you feel like you're winging itWhy parenting isn’t about being perfect—it’s about being presentThis episode isn’t just for dads—it’s for anyone trying to be someone their people can count on… even when they’re running on fumes and microwave coffee.

And we are just getting started.

He’s a father. He’s a leader. He’s... maybe the reason Shady Sands is now a radioactive crater. In this episode, we dig deep into Fallout's Hank MacLean—the man who tried to rule with love and logic, but ended up lying, bombing, and breaking his kids in the process. Was it duty? Was it delusion? Or was it the inevitable cost of leadership in a crumbling world?Join us as we navigate his double life as a devoted dad and cold-blooded Overseer. We’re not just here to roast Hank (okay, maybe a little)—we’re here to challenge the ethics behind his decisions and the very real reflections they cast on our own world.This episode tackles questions like:Can love and leadership coexist when survival is on the line?Is it ever truly justifiable to sacrifice others for the greater good?Do lies told “to protect” actually do more damage than the truth?Where’s the line between maintaining order and seizing control?And the toughest one: Would you have done the same in his place?Whether you see Hank as a tragic protector or a manipulative tyrant, this one will have you questioning more than just your Fallout playthrough choices. Buckle up, Wastelanders—it’s time to walk the Vault-Tec tightrope of morality.

In this episode, we dive deep into the life and legacy of Giovanni, the infamous leader of Team Rocket and one of the most complex figures in the Pokémon universe. Beyond his criminal empire, there’s a deeper story—one that ties him to Silver, his estranged son, and even to Ash Ketchum in ways that spark wild fan theories. Was Giovanni always destined for villainy, or did something push him down that path? How does his fractured relationship with Silver mirror real-world father-son dynamics? And what does his relentless pursuit of power really tell us about legacy and redemption?We break it all down, exploring Giovanni’s motivations, his failures as a father, and what Pokémon fans—and parents—can learn from his story.Discussion Questions:What kind of legacy do we leave behind as parents?Can a child find role models outside of their parents?How does a father’s absence shape a child’s identity?What happens when a parent prioritizes power over connection?

Cayde-6 was more than just a wisecracking Exo with a love for hand cannons and chicken sidekicks. He was the Hunter Vanguard, the guy who made reckless look cool, and the heart of Destiny’s story—until that heart was ripped out by Uldren Sov in Forsaken.But before all of that, he was a man. A father. Someone who lived with regret, but never let it define him.

We’re breaking down one of the most unlikely yet relatable dads in animated history—Shrek.

Yeah, welcome to fatherhood.Shrek starts his journey as the ultimate ‘Leave-Me-Alone’ dad. He’s cranky, sarcastic, and would rather wrestle an angry dragon than deal with people. But fatherhood? That’s the one thing that completely unravels him—and turns him into a real hero. Today, we’re going to look at how Shrek’s journey reflects the struggles of modern dads, what lessons he learns, and how we can apply them to our own lives.Discussion Questions:What’s one lesson from Shrek’s journey that you’ve experienced in your own fatherhood?How do you balance your need for personal space with your responsibilities as a parent?Do you think fatherhood changes men for the better? Why or why not?Shrek struggles with feeling like he’s “losing himself” in family life. Have you ever felt this way? How do you deal with it?If Shrek had a ‘Dad Mantra,’ what would it be?

Geralt isn’t just a monster hunter—he’s a dad, whether he likes it or not.

His body is fused with the souls of the people of Xerxes, which gives him immense knowledge and strength—but also leaves him carrying a huge weight of guilt. Driven by both regret and a deep sense of responsibility, Hohenheim is on a mission to stop “Father,” the being who’s behind much of his suffering. Although he truly loves his sons, Hohenheim struggles to balance protecting them with facing his own painful past. His decision to stay away from his family creates a complicated bond with Ed and Al, who both grapple with the emptiness his absence left in their lives. Hohenheim’s journey is all about redemption, sacrifice, and the high cost of his choices, and he brings out powerful themes of family, legacy, and forgiveness.
