The Better Off Dad Podcast It’s been said in jest that fatherhood is great because you can ruin someone from scratch.

From cubicle to caregivers, two Cleveland stay-at-home dads offer relatable fatherhood fodder as they embrace self-deprecating learning moments and progressive parenting. Well, we’re ready to rewrite the recipe book and serve up a new brand of progressive parenting. We are Tim and Matt, a pair of Cleveland fathers who recently transitioned from the cubicle to being full-time caregivers. As newly-m

inted stay-at-home dads, we hope to offer relatable father fodder, self-deprecating learning moments and a fresh take on topics ranging from parenting to childhood development to progressive family issues. We look forward to hosting insightful guests and providing an honest glimpse into our worlds of full-time dadlife. So follow us for more “recipes” as we make our foray into the podcast realm and finetune our dad joke repertoires.

At long last we are back with an episode that was worth the wait: Our interview with Lakewood City Councilperson Bryan Evans!

Matt & Tim speak with a real, live public official (and dad, too) about the importance of getting involved in local politics, how to raise kids up to college-age, and his worst parenting memory...spoiler alert, there's two kinds of p**p! Plus, first haircuts, competitive kids, and someone's child can't stop listening to Kendrick Lamar. And Matt shares his fears of flying while Tim gets drunk with his neighbors on the regular.
