It has been almost a year - a YEAR! - since our last Wake.Dad.Drink.Repeat. episode dropped and we are kicking things back off with a very special story.
This week on the pod, Phillip McCall joins me for a very deep and personal conversation about the journey that he, his wife Erin, and their son Wade have been on since 2021.
While Erin was pregnant, their son Wade was diagnosed with Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO). While their story is filled with challenges, anxiety, setbacks, and periods of mourning - it is also full of love and support and has left Phillip with a deep understanding in the power of opening up, sharing, and “letting people in.”
Phillip and I talked about miscarriages and the emotional and mental struggles men face during difficult pregnancies. We also discussed finding peace in chaos and navigating major challenges with our healthcare system.
Plus, Phillip shares powerful stories about how they nurtured their marriage relationship while their son was in the NICU. For a deeper dive into the Mcall’s story you can check out their blog here.
This story is a perfect example of why I started this show, and I am so grateful to be back with each of you. Thanks for tuning in.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
