šŸŽ™ļø Episode 217 – ā€œGolf, Goonies, and the Harsh Truth About Losingā€

This week on the Top Dad Podcast, we’re teeing off with some hard truths: golf is impossible, Goonies never say die, and your kids will eventually lose — at something.

Join your favorite suburban sages as we dive into the real struggles of parenting, like breaking your toddler’s thumb-sucking habit (without breaking your sanity), turning ā€œlife’s not fairā€ into a valuable lesson (instead of just yelling it in the car), and teaching your little ones how to lose gracefully (even when you accidentally spike the ball in their face during family dodgeball).

Plus: Matt talks photography, Ken takes a swing at golf, and we both take a nostalgic detour through the Gen Goonie jungle where everything can be solved with a treasure map and a truffle shuffle.

It’s parenting, it’s therapy, it’s comedy. And it’s definitely not fair.
