Fatherhood and Hip Hop collide in this episode as we sit down with Bret Green, the mind and mic behind @DadGotBars. What started as therapy in rhyme form turned into a viral wave that’s giving parents everywhere a soundtrack to real life. Bret breaks down how fatherhood fuels his art. From honoring his wife’s C-section and postpartum journey with a tribute that touched millions, to flipping clapbacks at trolls into anthems that every Dad can feel. Bret gets real about the highs and lows: raising 2 kids, educating others on the process of IVF, and making sure presence and love stay at the center of his grind. He talks about breaking cycles from his own childhood and turning family moments into verses that resonate way beyond the studio. The crew dives in with their own stories: from Manny and EFN repping for their kids’ passions to calling out the madness at youth competitions. By the end, Bret gets his flowers for keeping it authentic, blending fatherhood, Hip Hop, and heart into a movement that proves being a father is the realest role you’ll ever play.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage

Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
