Taking Your Kids Five Places | Ep. 54

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/10/01

A simple outing with your kids comes with negotiations, bathroom stops, and requests to see someone who may not even live in the state. Andrew talks through five places we bring our kids: schools and activities, restaurants, grocery stores, general errands, and car rides and road trips. There’s the challenge of getting out the door, figuring out restaurant behavior, fielding backseat requests, and occasionally running an errand just to run out the clock. Then comes the top five list of kid ...

Dad Sports Leagues: The Long Stretch

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/09/24

At 25, stretching was optional. At 45, stretching is the sport. Andrew explores the world of middle-aged dad sports: his disastrous experience in a men’s pickup basketball league, his much more successful return to softball, and the increasingly serious competition surrounding bowling, golf, cornhole, bocce and every other activity dads refuse to play casually. It’s about dead legs, adult-league characters, postgame beers and the reason grown men still need somewhere to compete. Maybe we ar...

What Bartending, Baseball & Show Business Taught Me

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/09/10

As Andrew prepares to turn 45, he looks back at three very different jobs that shaped him: bartending, teaching baseball, and working in show business. From making people feel welcome and dealing with irrational sports parents to surviving rejection and having the nerve to put your work into the world, each job offered lessons that followed him into fatherhood, relationships, and the New Jersey Dad Podcast. Three jobs. Nine lessons. And one common thread: the small things are often the whol...

Things I Never Thought I’d Become as a Dad | NJ Dad...

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/08/27

I genuinely thought I’d go through life with the energy of a golden retriever—always moving, always looking for the next thing and never really calming down. Then, slowly, I became a guy who wears the same dad shirt multiple nights in a row, worries deeply about the state of other people’s driving and somehow learned how to handle paperwork, bills and the daily machinery of running a household. In Episode 49, I’m talking about the things I never thought I’d become—and how growing older, bec...

Episode 47: Does Dad Like Piña Coladas?

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/08/13

Everybody knows “Escape (The Piña Colada Song).” But have you ever actually listened to what the hell is happening in that song? This week on the NJ Dad Podcast, Andrew takes a closer look at one of the most cheerful-sounding songs ever written about two people quietly trying to cheat on each other — with each other.

Episode 45-LIVIN’ THE DREAM (Makes a Man Want to Scream)

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/07/30

We’re told to chase our dreams, but very few people talk about what that actually looks like. For Andrew, it’s recording podcasts after the kids go to bed, learning editing software from scratch, posting videos that barely get seen, celebrating small wins, and showing up again the next day anyway. This episode isn’t about quitting your job or chasing fame. It’s about giving yourself permission to pursue something meaningful alongside the life you’ve already built. Whether it’s a creative pr...

IN-SANITATION

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/07/23

Two garbage pickups a week. Recycling. Cardboard. Breaking down boxes—or apparently deciding you’re above that. And, of course, the all-important Christmas envelope. This week on New Jersey Dad, Andrew gets into one of the unsung pillars of suburban life: sanitation. From the unwritten rules of garbage day to appreciating the people who make sure your house doesn’t stink, it’s an 18-minute trip through one of those mundane parts of adulthood you somehow end up having very strong opinions ab...

OUT ON THE TOWN

The NJ DAD Podcast ·

2026/07/16

When was the last time you had a real night out? In this episode, Andrew talks about why dads need an occasional escape, the guilt that somehow comes with it, and why getting together with friends can actually make you a better husband and father. From planning the night to the inevitable texts home and the next morning’s responsibilities, it’s a funny look at what “going out” means once you’re raising a family. Pour yourself a drink, settle in, and enjoy Episode 43 of the New Jersey Dad P...
