Father's Day 2025 | Father/Son Reflections on Being a Dad

Does it get more "meta" than interviewing your own parent about parenting? For our Father’s Day 2025 Special, Adam Flaherty goes deep with a truly special and personal guest: his own father. Tom Flaherty isn’t just Adam’s dad; he's a father of four (spanning 20 years in age!), an Air Force veteran, a retired police officer, and an inspiration and beacon of hope to many people recovering from alcohol addiction. In a first for the show, Adam and his dad get real about raising kids across two generations, building resilience through tough times, and the evolving role of fathers over the decades. After the interview, Marc and Adam tackle the wild world of kids' slang in a gut-busting "So That's a Thing Now" about the cringeworthy phrases their children have brought home.

Modern Dadhood | Unpacking Fatherhood + Parenting for Dads (and Moms!) · Thomas Flaherty, Marc Checket, Caspar Babypants, Chris Ballew, Adam Flaherty, Spencer Albee
