This July, Robert and Kyle continue their ongoing conversation series, Great Dad Topics — a space dedicated to exploring what it means to show up as an engaged, thoughtful father. Our hope is simple: to inspire other parents to model healthy behavior as they raise great kids.Many of this month's discussion topics are drawn from The Daily Dad, a mailing list curated by author Ryan Holiday.This week's topics:This Is All You Get & Suddenly You Don't See Them They Won't Love This Forever Let Them Be BoredThis Is Worth It It's Not Selfish, It's Essential We Are All ComplicatedFind the Things Where They're Happy to Be With YouThis Is How You Get BetterSuddenly You Don't See ThemDon't Fritter It AwayIt Feels Good for a Moment... and Then HorribleThis Is How You Brighten a Place UpFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg  Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg==  Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc 

Just in time for the 4th of July, Kyle and Robert grab their hoppy beers and breakdown the 1972 horror movie Frogs. The movie stars a mustache-less Sam Elliott as an ecological photographer and it only gets weirder from there. The local wildlife seem intent on getting revenge against a patriarchal millionaire and his family who are vacationing at the island. The island is filled with dangers including snakes, spiders, alligators, geckos, komodo dragons, sentient vines, and Toads (but for some inexplicable reason, no Frogs). Were the amphibious assassins calling the shots all along? Or were these rich dummies just really bad at staying alive? Tune in this week to find out!

This week, Robert couldn't say 'No' when his daughter asked to paint his nails 'Mermaid Sparkle Blue', and he was pleasantly surprised by the public reaction. As a result, Robert wanted to tell Kyle about his experience as a loud and proud Girl Dad and ask whether the concept of masculinity has changed over the years. From ancient cultures to modern times, masculinity (and femininity) has been in constant flux. We discuss Spartans and Athenians, the cultural icons of past generations, and what it is like to be Girl Dads in the modern age. Tune in for some very fun and goofy stories peppered through a chat on a normally dry and serious topic.

For our February movie, Kyle and Robert are breaking down the absurd 80s Sci-Fi movie: Hell Comes to Frogtown! Starring professional wrestler and amateur Frog seducer Rowdy Roddy Piper, the premise of this movie is bonkers. After a nuclear war, main character Sam Hell is on a government mission to save fertile women from evil frogs and repopulate the country. Tune in to find out if Rowdy Roddy 'pipes' his way through the wasteland for Freedom.

Join Kyle and Robert as they discuss Part 2 of all of the shenanigans that 90s kids deemed perfectly normal. Do you remember turning the trampoline into an Olympic sport, purple nurples, prank calls, and wild clothing trends of the 90s? As parents, the guys would never let their kids get up to this nonsense. As Robert says, "Do as I say, not as I did...". Trust us kids, it's for your own good! As always, thanks for listening. Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg== Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

This week, Robert and Kyle recap childhood in the 80s and 90s. We're betting that most Millennials and Gen Xers will remember the socially acceptable parenting practices of sending your kid to the store to buy cigarettes, keeping the kids outside till the streetlights came on, and forgoing any kind of vehicular safety on long road trips. Join the guys as they reminisce about the whacky stuff grown-ups did 'back in the day'. To quote the great Bobby Boucher: 'Momma...my Momma...Momma says you should listen to the episode." Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg== Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the feelings of guilt that parents get about how much time they are able to spend with their children. When life, work, school, chores, and a million other obligations get in the way, how do we ensure there is enough time left on the schedule for our families and ourselves? Is it selfish to spend time on adult-only activities with your spouse, your friends, or by yourself? Does your children's age play a role in the amount of time they need from you as their independence grows? Tune in this week to hear the guys discuss these questions and more. As always, we appreciate you for listening! Email: [email protected]:https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg== Tiktokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

The guys are kicking off the New Year with an 80s bombshell! Join Robert and Kyle as they breakdown the hilariously absurd action movie: Hard Ticket to Hawaii!

This week, Robert and Kyle discuss the difference between quitting too soon vs. burn out. How do we encourage our kids to work through challenges while being careful not to force them into activities that they grow to hate/resent? As parents, we think it's important to help our children build skills like resilience and self-confidence by tackling difficult things. But how do we properly moderate and find that balance while avoiding burnout for ourselves and our kids? Also, did Robert Rick Roll Kyle and everyone else...?

This week, Kyle and Robert discuss having vicarious joy for others. There is no need to treat Success as a limited resource; happiness is not zero sum. We should find joy in others' success and look to them for inspiration that can help us in our lives. Shifting from a comparison mindset to an inspiration mindset will do wonders for your friendships. As always, thank you for listening!As always, feel free to reach out to us at ⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠.

This week, Robert takes us through his recent knee surgery (Happy 40th Birthday) and hobbling around for his holiday break. Kyle gets the *perfect* stocking stuffer (one day early) but he'll have to wait till next year for a new batch of underwear (size: average).

Kyle and Robert explore the idea of learning styles—personal preferences for how people take in information, such as visual,auditory, or hands-on—and the many models that attempt to categorize them. While these frameworks are popular, the guys discuss major criticisms, including how difficult learning styles are to measure and the lack of strong evidence that people actually learn better when instruction is matched to apreferred style. Research suggests that most of us are naturally multi-sensory learners and that focusing too narrowly on one style may even be limiting. The key takeaway is that effective learning comes from using multiple methods,spacing practice over time, matching the teaching approach to the material itself, and reinforcing understanding by teaching others. Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy!

Just in time for the holiday season, the guys are breakingdown the hilariously whacky 1964 classic: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians! Joining the hosts this week is our resident shark expert and holiday movie enthusiast friend Chris! The group doesn't shy away from the hard questionssuch as: Which is the scarier villain to encounter in a snowstorm: A Devious Martian, a Polar Bear with Rabies, or Torg the Evil Robot? Can Santa bring holiday cheer to the poor Martian children? And what the heck is the deal withDropo the Martian? Join Robert, Kyle, and Chris for some holiday cheer and some cinematic nonsense!

Part Two of our Advice episodes is finally here! This week, Kyle and Robert discussed how to give advice. First things first, make sure you know what you are talking about! Don't use your friends as guinea pigs to test your random half-assed theories. Don't be afraid to ask the person if they are truly looking for advice, or just validation/acceptance/sympathy/encouragement.Finally, frame your advice in terms of how you would put it into practice, rather than issuing commands.

This week, Robert and Kyle give their thoughts on how to askfor advice. First make sure that you actually want advice, rather than encouragement or sympathy. Be specific with your requests, open-minded, goal-oriented, and respectful of the other person's time. Asking for advice is only half the battle, listening, reflecting, and putting the advice into actionis the tricky part. Take it from us, advice is just empty calories until you act on it.

Just in time for our Halloween Spooktacular, the guys arebreaking down the 1991 troll infested kid's movie: Ernest Scared Stupid!

Grab your favorite brew (or a glass of MIAK) and join the guys as they suffer/enjoy the insanity of 90's kid's movies. Be sure to let us know which is your favorite Ernest movie by emailing us at [email protected] for listening!Facebook:⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/share/16mBCdWWdu/?mibextid=qi2Omg⁠⁠Instagram:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/deephopics?igsh=MXdvOXdtcGkxenNoYg==⁠⁠ Tiktok⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@deep.hopics?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc⁠⁠ Youtube:⁠⁠www.youtube.com/@DeepHopicsPodcast

This week, Robert and Kyle offer some recommendations for how to ask for help. The guys look back on what Benjamin Franklin can teach us about getting to know your neighbors and how to endear yourself to others. They also discuss the stigma surrounding admitting when you need help. As so much of our self-image is tied up in our ability to do things on our own, asking for help can be difficult. Remember, asking for help isn't the admission of a weakness, it can be turned into a strength when done properly.

Some meaningful tips offered are the importance of prioritizing care, managing stress in your personal and professional life, building good habits, and taking small doable stepswith your workouts (progressive overload) and nutrition (no crash diets!). The guys make time for some funny workout stories, including creatine-induced intestinal troubles, praying for a port-o-potty during long runs, and teachingkids a valuable lesson about safety in the weight room.
