The Dad Code Podcast

I absolutely LOVE going to the movies! Check out my first ever true movie review as i give my opinion and take on the latest Mission Impossible installment from Tom Cruise. I also discuss whether or not Tom Cruise is the "last action hero" and why his movies are so good! #missionimpossible #moviereview #amctheaters #tomcruise #deadreckoning

We would all like to think our parents will never die or get older. But eventually it will be time that we have to take care of them as they did when we were children. I share my experiences over the last month in dealing with having to care for my mother in her time of need and the lessons we can pass on to our kids. #dads #dadpodcast

FAther's Day is here and we all look forward to be celebrated...but should we be celebrating ourselves or should we be celebrating fatherhood in general and remembering the father's and male role models who shaped us as fathers? Also, we delve into some of the craziness that has begotten the world in regards to the Bud Light Protest and the influence of woke ideology in our schools and media. I haven't ever got on a rant about these types of things and I am certain it wont be the last time. WE have to do better for ourselves and Our kids folks. Happy Father's Day to everyone! #fathersday #dadpodcast #dadsrock

He is Risen!!! Easter is always a favorite for me because it gives everyone a stark reminder that we have victory over the grave. Jesus didn't say that he died for just a few select people... no, instead he said I will die for everyone's sins and rise from the grave and everyone who believes in me will not die but have everlasting life... We don't deserve it but he did it anyway... He loves us as we should love each other!Coach Dad is in full swing. lots of bad weather have prevented me from being able to tell you guys much of what has been going on but we are officially starting our season this week and I look forward to sharing more with you guys about what these kids learn from each other, myself and my coaches... also what they teach us as parents and coached along the way!

I cant believe I am having to talk about another schoold shooting much less it being in my home state and within an hour of my house... I have done videos in the past that have addressed how I think we should solve the horrifying problem of these school shootings and I echo the same solution again! When will we take this seriously and stop arguing amongst ourselves over political crap? #nashville #nashvillestrong #covenant #protectourkids #guncontrol

Sunday Morning Sermon Time! I'm no preacher but these are the things that are on my heart this Sunday morning! We constantly are saving and grinding and worrying about what TOMORROW will bring for us. We act like TOMORROW is owed to us and is guaranteed, but the reality is TOMORROW belongs to GOD. Our heavenly father knows exactly what we need and how to get us there. We have plenty of reasons to worry about tomorrow for sure with threats of war, financial collapse, sickness and plague... but we can't forget the blessing of TODAY all for fear of what tomorrow may or may not bring! God has a plan for each of us and puts us exactly where we need to be and with the people we need to be with. Thank you everyone who has been following my situation, the prayers are much appreciated and have helped so much. Please be sure to share this message with anyone who you think could benefit from it and be sure to follow us on your favorite podcasting platform! #god #christianpodcast #believers #christian #Jesus

You know we love a good hot sauce review! But what happens when we combine a hot sauce review with a review of the All Inclusive Mexican Resort we just returned from? One word-- Awesomeness! We thank Woos! Hot Sauce for sending us all three of their hot sauces from their hot sauce line up. Three levels of heat and three levels of tastiness... how will they fair on our rating scale? Secrets Akumal was a great experience for us as a long awaited adults only get away. The service-- second to none. The food-- amazing! The people-- even better! We definitely have been chomping at the bit to review this resort ever since we returned and encourage you to check out our honest and frank opinions of every aspect of the resort experience from check in the check out... And not to put a damper on things... we thought we would go OLD SCHOOL on you and give a "Blake's Blast"... He definitely had plenty of ammo for one as he had a less than ideal experience recently with a loved one at a TRISTAR HCA facility. All we can say is.... DO BETTER! #secretsakumal #hotsauce #rivieramaya --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check us out on all social media! @thedadcodepodcast Audio Versions of all episodes are available on your favorite podcasting platform!

We all want our kids to grow up being polite and productive people right? Of course we do... What is the best way to get there in terms of how we raise them? Do we want to raise them to be timid, shy, agreeable folks who go along with everything anyone ever throws out there to them? How do we think that will go over when they start dating? Will they leap to the first person who gives them attention and get walked all over and do it all gleefully in the name of "being in love"? OR How will this play out when they get into the job market when they are do for a promotion or maybe have earned a promotion but are too agreeable and timid to ask for what they have earned in the career. Will they just smile and "Yes sir, right back to work sir!" OR Will they make a stand... will they follow the example that we have set for them as fathers and let them know that as Dr. Jordan Peterson says, "A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very, very dangerous man who has it under voluntary control." Whether we like it or not our kids are always watching and will mimic what they experience as a "FATHER"... That is, the example you set as a dad, is what they think a dad IS... No one is saying you should be a jerk to your kids... but they should know that there's a side to Dad that he keeps under control by his own free will... but won't hesitate to let him out when he deems it necessary... Do you want to be remembered as a "nice guy".... OR.... as a good FATHER? The ball is in your court! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Check us out on Instagram, Tiktok, Rumble, Youtube, and Twitter!

I really tried to move on from this subject. It's really not the kind of content I like to put out-- but as a father, I feel like I have to weigh in on the absurd way that this situation was handled and how I would like to see security in out schools change. A few episodes back I did a reaction to the Uvalde tragedy and gave what I thought was a reasonable safety measure to protect kids from these kinds of events whilst the "gun debate" can wage on. I proposed that we put guards or security in or around schools. I caught quite a bit of flack for those comments both from my immediate circle of friends and from folks reacting to my video. Most of them had to do with the fact that I am not an "expert"... well... guess who is... Jocko Willink. In a recent episode of Jocko Podcast (#338), he apparently agreed with what I suggested. Jocko!.... An EXPERT! Finally someone with sanity! Link to video below! The fact still remains that these types of tragedies are preventable...some will argue that they are preventable if we ban guns... not realistic in my opinion and also not convinced it stops deranged people from finding ways to hurt people. I believe that guarding schools like we do other events or venues is the solution for the short term (and maybe long term). Police clearly need more training to be able to execute their duties without hesitation in these types of instances. But in the mean time I'm not sure I would be willing to give up my firearms and put them in the hands of folks like the Uvalde Police Dept who are untrained and ILL- prepared for these types of scenarios. #Uvalde #Jockopodcast #Gundebate ---------------------------------------------------------- Jocko Podcast #338 Link: https://youtu.be/a0OXa02j6dE Check us out on Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and Twitter! @thedadcodepodcast Audio Versions of all the podcasts are available on your favorite podcasting platform!

Reading some of the headlines out there (without getting to political) is often hard, but I try and steer clear from political crap and only point out things I find to be relevant or boarder on absurdity. I think we as Dad's have to stay abreast of the happenings in the world today and be able to formulate our own opinions based on the values we want to instill in our kids. DON'T just read the title and nothing else-- often the news organizations pick the most hyperbolic statement they can (often misrepresenting the actual facts) to get their own narrative out there. READ THE WHOLE ARTICLE and READ MULTIPLE ARTICLES. GET ALL THE INFORMATION before you form your opinion. It's HOT as hell out there. Apparently there is a "Heat Dome" that has formed. Is it normal or is this a unique thing? I think it has always happened in the summer personally. Fuel prices are THROUGH the roof! If you were of adult working age in 2008 this might feel eerily similar. The high fuel prices appear to be spurring on a likely recession. I hope I am wrong, but increased fuel (particularly diesel prices) I fear will lead to supply chain disruption and cause food prices to be unrealistic for some lower income families. These things are all important and we need to have our ducks in a row for what we will tell our kids if we have to tell them that we cant afford name brand food anymore or we need to eat spaghetti again this week. OR we can't afford to go on vacation. Our kids have really never known hardship of any kind, but I fear they will be the ones who learn about hard times through real life experience. DADS-- make sure you are prepared... be prepared mentally, physically, and supply wise. HAVE A PLAN. I mention MYPatriotSupply.com in the video and will be reviewing some of their products to give you guys some ideas for what's out there. We are in this together Dads... Let's figure this out and be ready for anything... We are Dads... This is what we do. ------------------------------------------------- check out MyPatriotSupply.com: https://mypatriotsupply.com/collections/case-pack-food-pouches Like and Subscribe on Youtube and Rumble!

This was an episode I really had to think long and hard about whether I wanted to publish it or not... I have not ever had a medical issue in my life but have quickly learned that it is something that will rock you to your core... It made me think about some changes both to my job and people around Me's job that seem to be in "flux" at the moment. It made me think about how I spend my time and energy and whether or not it is fruitful for me to entertain being potentially taken advantage of at work... Life is Short dads... Let's make the most of it and teach our kids some healthy boundaries for our work/life balance... enjoy! #dadlife #dowhatyoulove #Thyroid ____________________________________ https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml

As a Coach it is voery difficult to teach kids how to win... It is even more difficult to teach them how to operate in the confines of a more hostile championship atmosphere. In this episode I detail our experience as a team in our league championship game & Oh what a game it was! I also recap my overall assessment of the year and how proud I am of all "my boys". It should go without saying that if anyone had questions about whether their kids should play youth sports, games like this one made a great case for why they should. MY BOYS showed extremely high fortitude and character in the face of great adversity. Sports are meant to teach us how to handle adversity and failure-- These are the life skills and tools we need all kids to learn! They don't learn it by sitting inside all day playing video games... They learn it by being a part of a team and learning and growing together and overcoming adversity TOGETHER! This one was a good one folks! Enjoy! ***Sorry about the Audio*** Someone has been messing around with the Equipment in the studio and apparently turned the Mic WAAAAAy Down. _______________________________________________ TikTok: thedadcodepodcast Rumble: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code Podcast Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Twitter: @thedadcode YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA RSS Feed: https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dad-code-podcast-real-dads-real-talk-no-bs/id1620586430 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VEGme51EzibLyA7eylSE2 Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWRpYS5yc3MuY29tL3RoZWRhZGNvZGVwb2RjYXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s

It has been a long hard road but we are finally here! We have earned the right to play in the championship game! These kids have made me proud all year regardless of their win/loss record. The improvement and buy in have been second to none this year and it is showing on the field. Obviously as always there are things we can work on to get better but for the most part I am VERY happy with how we played. Now on to the championship game... coaching kids to win in a championship environment is different at this age. These kids are old enough now to understand the situation and will manifest pressure of their own to put on themselves on top of the natural pressure there is in the game itself can't wait to play the game and see how we do! The game is this afternoon so we will be sure to keep you posted! #coachdad #baseballcoach #championshipgame --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TikTok: thedadcodepodcast Rumble: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code Podcast Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Twitter: @the_dad_code YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA RSS Feed: https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-dad-code-podcast-real-dads-real-talk-no-bs/id1620586430 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VEGme51EzibLyA7eylSE2 Google Podcast: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWRpYS5yc3MuY29tL3RoZWRhZGNvZGVwb2RjYXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s

What a week this has been. Between the city league changing the dates for our games several times over the last week, to playing our first tournament game, to teaching my wife to shoot a handgun for the first time, to CRASHING A 10 yr High School Reunion on accident-- we have had a lot going on! Coach Dad updates include the results from our first tournament game as well as having to "coach up" an assistant coach, and more praise for how improved our boys have become over the season. If you showed up to a bar and their was a 10 year high school reunions going on there would you leave or stay and crash it? Well we stayed and oh what sites there were to see! I also give my thoughts on what I saw from watching a group of high school friends who we did not know and the lessons we can pass on to our kids or save for the right time to teach them! #coachdad #togetherwecan #highschoolreunion _____________________________________ Check us out on all your favorite podcasting platforms! https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml Check us out on Instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, and Twitter!

This Dad Rant was one I really debated and contemplated not doing... I don't usually comment on these types of things, but felt like as a father I had to say something about how this situation was handled by police officials and also express my condolences to the families involved. The tragic school shooting in Uvalde, Texas again rocks us as Americans to our core... Are guns to Blame? No, I don't think so... Was it a mental health issue? Probably... I'm not here to debate gun laws or gun control, but we have to do something to protect our kids until we as "the adults" can figure out how best to move forward. Instead of political posturing, we need to be focusing on protecting our kids. We have no problem protecting celebrities, concerts, sporting events, etc. Now we need to turn our focus to protecting the most precious among us... our kids.

It has been a HOT MINUTE since we have done a Hot Sauce Review! I'm pleased to say it has officially returned and with the return, we sample three GHOSTLY offerings-- (of course) a sauce from the "international box of mystery", B.J. Reece Orchard's Caspar the Friendly Ghost Pepper Sauce, and Marshall's Haute Sauce Whiskey Smoked Ghost Sauce. Two of these three were surprises i think for us and one is an obvious BUST!

Often we just expect kids to go out on the field of play (or Life) and jsut figure out how to win. But for many kids its just not that simple. We have to get our hands dirty as coaches and get in there and teach them how to manage emotion within certain situations. we don't do this by simply calling out individual players and pointing out their mistakes in an effort to embarrass them into fixing the issue. We instead have to take the time to break down the situation and use it as teachable moments for EVERYONE. The bottom line is we can't fail our kids/players by not teaching them how to win- it is a basic life skill that is learned through experience, grit, and COACHING! #coach #youthsportscoach #coachdad __________________________________ __________________________________ Rumble: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Twitter: @the_dad_code YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA

Do we ever really stop and think about how pressure affects young kids and not only their performance but their psyche as well? I think there are lessons learned particularly in situations where we have put more experienced kids in roles where they are meant to be "captains" when maybe they aren't ready for it quite yet. Also, what do you do when kids are having issues off the the field and they need to use sports as an escape? We need to provide that for these kids and be there for them with and "open door policy". Kids that continue to defy expectations and improve are something to cherish. not only do they give you positive affirmation that what you are doing as coaches is working but it also is something that should be publicly recognized to boost their psychology as well.

This could be an unpopular opinion amongst some folks, but I am of the opinion that we cant let whining and crying creep into youth sports. There's really no place for it. Is there a "crying time out"-- NO. What would we be teaching kids if we were to allow them to just cry every time something doesn't go their way on the field??? maybe that's what's wrong with young people today? maybe they think they can jsut cry about something and they will get their way? Figures.....sign your kids up for sports and don't let them whine their way through it and cry about everything. Make sure you have a coach that will push them!

I can't express to you how much fun I have coaching youth sports. These are just some updates on my son's 8U coach pitch baseball games. I plan on posting these updates to tocuh on some topics that always inevitably pop up during the course of the game. I really hope this maybe helps some one at some point with how i handle my kids on the field and after the games... Right or Wrong, I am sure there is something to be learned! Go Coach your kids!

A lot of Dads today have lost the respect that they once had. They are no longer taken seriously because they no longer take themselves seriously... THEY COMPROMISE. There is always an easy way out and it's very easy just to go down easy street and not have to think about doing what's right. But what are we telling our kids? That it's ok to be treated like crap? That it's ok to be scared to do the right thing or stand up for what's right? That it's ok not to take care of yourself once in a while?... NO MORE COMPROMISING... Do better Dads... No more settling...Stay Strong Dads. #dadrant #Nocompromise #Nosettling #thedadcodepodcast __________________________ 🎵 Song: 'Keys Of Moon - The Epic Hero' is under a creative commons license license. https://www.youtube.com/c/keysofmoonmusic​ 🎶 Music promoted by BreakingCopyright: https://youtu.be/ETbsXdqgcTM _____________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________ YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfKX3Kuu4kFZl2PR893vcDA Rumble: https://rumble.com/register/Thedadcodepodcasr/ Twitter: The_dad_code Instagram: Thedadcodepodcast Facebook: The Dad Code RSS Link: https://media.rss.com/thedadcodepodcast/feed.xml Spotify Link: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VEGme51EzibLyA7eylSE2 Google Podcasts Link: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9tZWRpYS5yc3MuY29tL3RoZWRhZGNvZGVwb2RjYXN0L2ZlZWQueG1s

I have been wanting to do a video like this for a long time now. Coaching has become something I am seriously passionate about. what does that mean? It means I stay up late at night thinking about how i can do it better. It means I am emotionally invested in the kids i coach development both as young men and players. Dads, coaching is so rewarding to both you and the kids. If you have any questions about it I am happy to answer. JUST DO IT! you wont regret it. Looking forward to sharing more about my coaching journey moving forward...the good, the bad, and the FUNNY! #coaching #youthsports #coach
