Welcome to The Dad Chapter — two official dads and one unpaid intern (aka the clueless guy who hasn’t earned his official membership into the dad club yet), and a whole lot of stories about how life hits different when you trade happy hour for diaper duty.
This week, Kendrick, TJ, and Kevin take a deep, sleep-deprived dive into one of the hardest truths of fatherhood: there’s no such thing as balance. You’re not juggling life—you’re juggling glass, rubber, and whatever that sticky stuff is on the highchair tray. One wrong move and something’s crashing to the floor.From the bathroom becoming a safe haven (or makeshift office) to learning why you never—ever—wake a sleeping baby, this episode is jam-packed with laugh-out-loud fails and brutally honest dad truths. Like how canceling your gym membership isn't about giving up—it's about trading curls for carrying car seats, and cardio for toddler wrangling.But the real heart of this episode? The glass ball analogy.The guys break down a powerful metaphor: in life, you’re juggling multiple priorities—family, work, health, happiness, purpose—but not all of them are created equal. Some are rubber. Some are glass. Some you can drop and pick back up. Others? If you drop them, they shatter. The question becomes: which balls are non-negotiable?Spoiler: family is always glass. But what about happiness? Health? Work? The guys debate, reflect, and even get a little emotional as they open up about real breaking points—those 3AM moments when the baby won’t sleep, the dishes are piled high, and you're questioning everything.They talk about core memories—those little unexpected moments that stick for a lifetime. Like their kids hitting milestones, falling into inflatable water parks, or asking for help dribbling a basketball for the first time. These are the moments that make the chaos worth it. The ones you'll miss when the house is quiet. The ones that are the beautiful chaos.And let’s not forget the laughs—like Kevin’s wife asking TikTok if they’re getting divorced (they’re not) and if they’re having a baby this year (the jury’s out, but the psychic says yes).This is fatherhood, unfiltered: the sleep loss, the emotional landmines, the disappearing “me time,” the toys that multiply like gremlins, and the feeling that you’re always one diaper away from a meltdown. But it’s also love, growth, pride, and purpose.If you’ve ever felt like you’re dropping balls left and right—this episode’s for you.If you’ve ever hidden in the bathroom just to scroll your phone in peace—this episode’s for you.If you’ve ever looked at your kid mid-chaos and thought, “I don’t know what I’m doing, but damn, I love this little human”—this episode’s definitely for you.Listen now. Laugh hard. Drop a ball.
