Dad Mode

Welcome back! After a little break, Dad Mode is back with two topics that are close to many dads’ hearts: grilling and bonding. With the warmer weather here, Rich and E. dive into the world of grill types and share some essential tips and basics. But the real focus is on bonding. Food is a great way to bring people together, but there are other ways to spend quality time with the ones you love and care about. So, grab a cup of coffee and listen in as they discuss the importance of bonding with kids, spouses, family, and friends.

Rich & E discuss recent moments of maturity their children have displayed.

Rich and E are back from their winter break and kick off 2025 with the topic, "Burnout."
