Episodes

  1. Controversial Takes Within

    In this especially rambly episode, your two favorite dads that are way too tired talk about a handful of things.

  2. Christmas Ramblin'

    We're ramblin' about Christmas! We talk about Christmas plans, some of our favorite and least favorite Christmas movies, and the Spurs win! Can you believe it? Neither can we. Thank you for listening and supporting us. If you like what you hear, please share it around. Please feel free to message...

  3. We Pitch Our Hallmark Christmas Movies!

    Welcome to another Christmas episode! In this episode, we talk about fake-sick kids, physical media vs streaming, and how terrible, awful, and no-good the San Antonio Spurs are. We mistakenly think they're only 3 and 16. Justin corrects them and says it's actually 3 and 17. But then we find out…

  4. More Unnecessary Christmas Movie Sequels!

    Ho Ho Ho! It's Christmas time...again! Welcome to our holiday-themed episodes! In this one, it's short and sweet.

  5. Santa Be Patient!

    With Thanksgiving behind us, the Christmas season can officially begin! We talk a lot about our Thanksgivings and the importance of being thankful.

  6. The Children Must Awaken For School!

    And we're back...again! In this episode we talk about all manner of things with little direction as per usual. John did his part as co-host and found an article to read whilst Justin did nothing!

  7. The Boys Are Back!

    That's right ladies and gentlemen, the boys are back! We know you've missed us! John finally realized this podcast is more important than his family and rejoins it!

  8. Spooky Scary Takes

    In a spooky solo episode, Justin rambles (I know, you're surprised) on and gives out some of his takes on all sorts of things. Nearly not having a place to celebrate his 10th anniversary, work/life balance, the Halloween movie franchise, and more. Yes, most of us have to work and should work. But...

  9. Justin & Dad Actually Do Talk About James Bond...Eventually

    In another Justin and his dad episode, Justin talks a lot about the awesome new movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse to his dad who isn't a Spider-Man fan.

  10. Justin & Dad Definitely Talk About James Bond

    In this episode, Justin and his dad definitely stay on the topic of James Bond and don't ramble on about nothing. We talk about everything from our weeks, the LEGO video games, trashing a&m, and more. For the next few episodes, John will be taking care of his new son and unable to record. The…

  12. Ahsoka Discussion (Ep. 3)/Ramblin'

    *SPOILERS FOR AHSOKA AHEAD!* In this episode your two favorite guys talk about their weeks and give way too many details.

  13. Ahsoka Discussion (Ep. 1 & 2)/We're Bad Parents

    *SPOILERS FOR AHSOKA AHEAD!* We're back! In this episode we talk about screen time for kids and how that can be an issue for some people.

    Justin's dad joins the party. It's back to school time for many of us, so we talk about our experiences in sending little ones to school.

  18. We Bad!

    Villains! We love to hate them. In this "bad" episode, we talk about some of our favorite villains from movies and tv. Some spoilers, I guess?

  19. The Polarizing Fast Food Episode

    In this episode, we talk about how to do the best you can when you get fast food to eat with your kids. We all love French Fries, but are those the best thing for the kiddos to eat?

  20. CC and BCC DC, But Don't "Reply All"

    In this episode, DC is king. We talk about all manner of DC! Nolan's Batman, The Arrowverse shows, The Snyderverse, and more. Was Michael Sheen in Man of Steel or was that Michael Shannon?

  24. Are You Fearful of Lack of Light?

    Happy Mother's Day from us at Too Tired Dads! We (or our children) literally wouldn't be here today with you awesome ladies!

  25. Too Many Tantrums and Complaints

    In tonight's very much rambley and edited-for-couging-spells episode, we talk about behavior problems, tantrums, and what we're doing to try and curb it.

    *TRIGGER WARNING* We talk about a very scary experience at the hospital. Everything turns out okay, but we talk about things to look out for to keep mom and baby safe and healthy. Not a very jokey episode this time. Thank you for listening and supporting us. If you like what you hear, please…
