“Algorithms, Cub Scouts, and the Dad Joke Algorithm – Episode 212”

📖 Episode Description:

Welcome to Top Dad Podcast Episode 212, where the Wi-Fi is strong, the jokes are stronger, and the dad wisdom is dialed in tighter than your dad’s fanny pack on vacation.

This week we’re deep-diving into our algorithm rabbit holes (turns out we’re 87% dad jokes, 10% wristwatch reviews, and 3% how-to videos on starting fires with pinecones). We talk technologically impaired parents, start our very own Top Dad Book Club, and uncover the mysterious world of Cub Scout leadership—spoiler alert: it involves knots, crafts, and herding small humans.


Also in this episode:

• How to recommend a book without reading it (classic dad move).

• The watch every dad needs, and why it shouldn’t have a calculator.

• Our best parenting hacks, including the revolutionary “Just Ask Mom” technique.

• And yes, more dad jokes than a PTA talent show.

▶️ Hit play and let your algorithm know it just found its new favorite podcast!

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
