🎧 Episode 216 – “Cosplay, Cops, and Cars”

Buckle up, dads — it’s a road trip down memory lane, complete with Dad-approved detours, Lego mishaps, and a few questionable fashion choices.

In this episode of the Top Dad Podcast, we unpack the chaos of spring break hangovers (spoiler: the kids bounce back faster than we do), dad-style April Fool’s jokes (mostly harmless… mostly), and the critical differences between pre-dad and post-dad road trips (hint: more Goldfish crackers, fewer mixtapes).

We also dish out the ultimate Top Dad Do’s and Don’ts for surviving New Orleans without losing your dignity (or your wallet), relive Matt’s brush with cosplay (it involved spandex), and hear about Ken’s totally-not-suspicious run-in with the police (cue dad panic mode).

Plus: 18+ LEGO sets — because why should kids have all the brick-building fun?

🎙️ Listen now and remember: parenting might be a wild ride, but at least we’ve got a podcast to complain about it on.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
