The Rad Dad Redemption Podcast

We recorded this episode the day after the Alberta separation petition was killed in the courts. Was it the super old laptop we entrusted with our podcast? Maybe. Or, perhaps Danielle Smith got involved and personally fried the hard drive to try and silence us? We can only speculate but it seems entirely possible she played some type of role in the laptop taking its final breath. We assume voodoo was involved. Anyway, listen to the Alberta separation episode as we break down the arguments in a way only the Rad Dads can.

It's the music episode that no one asked for! We pushed our songwriting skills to the absolute limit to bring you the best hit songs you haven't heard yet. With just a little bit (a lot, actually) of help from AI, we made the songs in our hearts come to life. Don't touch that dial - it's Rad Dad Radio!

We're back for another educational episode about drinking less beer, doing more exercise and... Also... Did Donald Trump poop in his pants during a press conference? It's everything you have come to expect from such a high brow, informative podcast like ours.

The holidays can be a special time. They can also be a terrible time. Expectations are high and results can fall short. Like how we recorded this episode a few days before Christmas with the expectation we would release it on time. At least we got it out before the end of the year, right? Even though Christmas may be over, this episode's magic lives on beyond an arbitrary date on the calendar.

We've both been with our wives for some time. We've both got two kids so we can say we've each had sex at least twice. Basically, we are more qualified than Dr. Phil to provide relationship advice. Don't miss this episode. Your spouse will thank you.

We did it. We finally made it. The podcast has exploded in popularity and we have become more famous than we ever could have imagined thanks to our dedicated fans around the world. Also, in this episode, we talk about Dex's comedy career and Drew's teaching career (currently on pause). Tune in for a great episode!

On the eve of the Alberta teacher's strike, we got together to discuss the finer details of classroom complexities. We also talked about the latest news since our last episode, Dex's budding comedy career, and feces. Literal poop. Don't miss it!

This episode features special guest, Darrell Hargrove, from the Good Enough Gaming podcast. We chat about video games, podcasting, being mutual friends with Drew, and much more. Listen to this episode then go listen to our friends at Good Enough Gaming Podcast and follow their socials, @gegpodcast.

We are busy dads with busy families. The recording schedule has been less of a schedule and more of a loose suggestion about making content. However, we found the time in the middle of summer family time to have a discussion, share some laughs, and catch some fish.

Dex took time out of his birthday to sit down for a recording session. We talk about all the most important things like comedy, riding electric scooters, golf, and more!

This episode is all over the place. It starts fun. We talk the great Okotoks Beaver War of 1990. Then we talk about the absolute horrid state of education in Alberta. Finally, we wrap it up with some stand up comedy talk. It's an existential crisis sandwiched between a couple fun conversations.

We break down the events of last week's election, provide our post-mortem, and include some very hot takes that you have come to know and love from the Rad Dad Redemption Podcast. Will Pierre Poilievre remain as leader of the Conservatives? Will Mark Carney build a million houses with his own two hands? Will the Edmonton Oilers win the cup? Listen here for all of that and more!

Join us for a comprehensive look at the tournament that captured the hearts and minds of sports fans around the world. We also discuss our favourite golf moments and memories in an episode that makes it feel like you're eating a hot dog on the 10th tee with 4 beer in your belly and the smell of fresh-cut grass in the air.

Dex is back from Las Vegas with a weaker liver and some stories to share. Plus, we dive into the updates on the Alberta Health Services scandal that continues to unfold. It's a jam packed episode that you don't want to miss.

Half of this episode is very fun. We talk about comedy, we talk about reels where we hump footballs, and we share many laughs. The other half of this episode is an intense look into just how much money the Alberta government is wasting to make their friends rich. We can do it all here on the Rad Dad Redemption Podcast.

After a super fun, super successful night at the Hubtown Amateur Standup Comedy Showdown; we invited aspiring comedian, Craig Bassett to the podcast. He tells us about himself, his life, his journey, and we talk a little bit of comedy along the way. Don't miss the next comedy showdown night at Hubtown on March 1st!

The trade wars have begun and Donald Trump can suck on our greased up nutsacks. Also, Dex did a comedy show, we sang Karaoke, and Drew drank lots. We unpack all of this on the latest episode made for true Canadian patriots.

2024 is behind us, 2025 is ahead of us, and we are getting Eiffel Towered right in the middle. Tune in as we recap the biggest events of the year that was and look ahead with predictions to the year that will be. Spoiler alert: lots of people died and lots of people will probably die again this year barring some incredible advancement in medical technology.

It's another Christmas special from the Rad Dads to you, our loyal listener. This year we come with the gift of our Christmas hot takes. It's a seasonal special done the way only the Rad Dads can do it. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

We said we wouldn't do another election special after the ill-fated Alberta election coverage. But, like any good politician, we have flip-flopped on our promise on the eve of the American election to bring you this hard-hitting coverage. Plus, the biggest guest our show has had to date make a brief appearance to share their personal insights about the election. It's election analysis you can't get anywhere else.

We totally had the best podcast ever recorded. You'll have to take our word for it. But then the power hungry maniacs at "Big Radio" shut it down. They trampled on our little podcast dreams. So, instead of that incredible episode that would have won a Pulitzer Prize... We made this.

We heard that true crime podcasts were the hottest genre around so we're shamelessly leaning into it. Join us for this epic episode featuring Retired Sergeant RCMP, Murray Hoover. He details his life from training in Regina to working major undercover homicide investigations and everything in-between.

Hot on the heels of the Olympics; we have superfan, elite athlete, and Rad Mom, Alisha Dunford, join the show for a rundown of the hottest stories from the games. We're talking Simone Biles. We're talking Summer McIntosh. We're talking rivers of literal human feces. We may not win a gold medal for our athletic abilities but we get a participation ribbon for the effort in this episode.

Like caterpillars emerging from their cocoons as beautiful butterflies; we expertly navigate our transition into a hard-hitting investigative news podcast. Not only do we bring the facts, we also bring the solutions. If you need water to live then this episode is a must listen.

The dudes, Geeze and B-Ren join us in the Rad Dad Redemption Podcast studio to talk about their careers in hip hop from the very beginning all the way until today. There are laughs, cheap sparkling wine presented as Champagne, and great discussions throughout. Don't miss it!

It's one of our most requested episodes ever! We sat down with our wives, the mothers of our children, the so-called "Rad Moms" for a hilarious conversation about life, love, and celebrity hall passes. It's an episode you absolutely don't want to miss.

The day finally arrived... It was time for the Rad Dad Fitness Combine. This event marks the culmination of 4-months of hard work as Drew and Dex go head to head in a series of physical challenges. Joe Hoover joins to share his experience at the combine and help the guys break down the events. It's easily the hottest, sweatiest episode we have ever put out. Put on your running shoes, grab a bottle of whatever hydration drink will give us the most money to mention them here, and settle in for an action-packed episode.

We have been on our fitness journey toward the upcoming Rad Dad combine. Throughout, we have shared our thoughts and experiences which, to say the least, don't hold a lot of weight in the health and fitness community. In this episode, we bring on Kelsey Norman to provide some insight and hopefully clear up all of the misinformation we have been sharing for the past few months. She's a group fitness instructor at F45 and Goodlife. She knows her stuff. It's an episode that's literally good for your health.

The Rad Dads enter the brand new studio with an episode that has something for everyone. There's fitness talk, golf talk, a live phone interview, and a detailed breakdown of the wildest local wrestling match seen in Okotoks since two deer got into it over a compost bin that was left open. Don't miss a single second!

This episode is so jam packed you can call it Smuckers. Plus, stay tuned until the end when we put out a special call to the listeners for help in guiding the content of the next episode. We got big plans and you're part of them!

Like a big 'ol box of chocolates after an unsuccessful night at the speed dating event; this episode has a lot to sink your teeth into. We talk Valentine's Day, Super Bowl, the fitness challenge, and somehow Adam Sandler discussion takes up an inordinate amount of time. It's got something for everyone!

It's the clip show that no one asked for! With over a year of work under our belts, we decided to take a trip down memory lane with some of the best clips from past episodes. Don't worry, we didn't include any clips from the Alberta Election Special. Hits only.

The Earth made another trip around the sun. In a galactic sense, it's kind of a silly thing to celebrate. But we are humans and we have assigned arbitrary meaning to January 1st. It's when everyone decides to stop being such a bag of garbage for a fleeting moment in time. Could you resolve to be healthier and happier on June 23rd? Yes. Do you? No. The only resolution anyone really needs is to listen to our podcast more and spend all disposable income on Rad Dad Redemption merch.

It's that time of year again... Presents sit under the tree. Children's laughter fills the air. And also, apparently, Ludacris has a new Christmas movie out. We didn't know that before we recorded this but that doesn't stop us from inserting copious amounts of Ludacris discussion into what was intended to be a Christmas episode. Happy holidays!

The Rad Dad Redemption Podcast is 1-year old and we invited friends to the basement for a very special recording. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You won't get cake. It's a lowered expectations birthday party only we can deliver on!

We eat a bunch of candy. Then we provide our expert rankings. That's all this episode is. Just candy wrappers and chewing.

How do you grow a podcast audience without being better and more entertaining? That's the impossible question posed to the Rad Dads in this episode. Listen as we discuss some groundbreaking marketing ideas to grow listenership with the ultimate goal of getting matching branded Baja Blast mountain bikes or something of equal dopeness.

Remember our first episode when we basically just talked about the Untold episode featuring Mantei T'eo? We're not even 20 episodes in and we're out of ideas so we're running it back, baby! Netflix has a new season of Untold out now. Call us the Swamp Ass Kings.

School is in session and who better to discuss this pivotal time of the year than two people who could add together their high school math grades and still fail. Plus, there is some seriously sexy talk about Oppenheimer which is totally unrelated to back to school but very worth it. Spoiler alert: bomb go boom.

We've missed you. You've missed us. Let's never be apart again. The Rad Dads are back from their summer vacation shenanigans with some stories and a review of the Rad Dad Variety Night.

Remember, back in the day, how there would be good movies you would go to see in the theatres and it would be a whole event for friends and family? Then there was an entire different set of films that were released straight to VHS and placed on the back wall of your local video store? This episode is the podcast version of the latter.

This episode has all the poop, submarine, and golf talk you can handle. Hold onto your butts for a dive 14,000 feet under the sea and then right into Dex's lower intestine. It's like if the Magic School Bus was on HBO.

It's a big episode filled with listener gifts, mailbag deliveries, and a breakdown of Dex's first stand up comedy night. These guys go to one comedy show and suddenly think they're comedic geniuses. That's the funniest part of the whole episode right there.

It's election night in Alberta and Lord knows you haven't heard enough uneducated people talk about the hard hitting issues already. Listen to this on the way to your polling station so that you can become a more informed voter. Also, we talk about Selling Sunset, Keeping up with the Kardashians, and all the other great entertainment options that smart political experts enjoy.

In this episode, we discuss what's cool and how to be cool. We also take some time to solve the climate crisis and leverage artificial intelligence to round out the episode's content. It's a jam packed episode with more anime references than you can shake a tentacle at.

We did it. We finally sold out. Official Rad Dad Redemption Podcast merchandise is now available at www.BajaLife.Style and we take this opportunity to shamelessly promote our wares while also discussing the finer details of fashion. Our faces are on hoodies now and we immediately let it go to our heads.

Do you like HGTV? Well then this episode is going to be incredibly disappointing for you because we know nothing. All we can say for sure is that one of us has a deck screw through their weiner shaft and the other only has 9 remaining fingers, 6 of which are held on with Gorilla Glue and staples.   Email [email protected] for paint matching services.

You aren't your own person with your own unique likes and dislikes. The algorithm makes you who you are. You thought you were special? Think again, bud. Just listen to this and then go buy the next thing you see recommended on social media. Feed the capitalist machine every day until you turn to dust.

Tune in for episode 8 to hear the biggest news ever broken in the short, insignificant history of this podcast. Also, we shamelessly beg Tom Green to come hang out with us and give our show a platform it doesn't warrant or deserve.

We admit it... Audio quality on this episode is straight doo doo. But don't let a little bad audio stop you from hearing the unfiltered truth about the world. We talk conspiracies and even invent our own which. Everyone knows the best conspiracy theories are made up by two dudes in a basement.
