Welcome back to Ask Dad, where we explore life’s twists, turns, and unexpected slip-ups with a mix of heart and humor. Post-Thanksgiving, it’s natural to reflect on the year’s gratitude and growth, but what about those “black ice moments” that catch us off guard? Today, we’ll ask the big question: when in life should we take our foot off the accelerator—or hit the brakes? How can we find balance when the path ahead feels uncertain or overwhelming?
We’ll also dive into a listener’s heartfelt question about building meaningful connections in their LGBTQ+ community and share some wisdom on staying grounded during life’s curveballs. And for a dose of laughter, we have some "mom-approved dad jokes” to lighten the mood. Grab a cozy seat, and let’s navigate life’s slippery roads together—because even when the ice is black, we can find our way forward.
The love is real and the man is real - we talk about it all. The good. The bad. The Dad.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
