About this listen
Josh and Bret tackle the misunderstood art of Resting Dad Face—why Gen X always looks mildly annoyed, even when we’re just thinking about what to make for dinner.
In a world where kids are encouraged to name every emotion, color-code their feelings, and express themselves constantly, we’re over here trying to teach emotional intelligence without turning every car ride into a therapy session.
We talk about how we were raised to suppress, eye-roll, and “walk it off,” why we still flinch at the phrase “safe space,” and whether our kids are emotionally healthier—or just more dramatic. Also: how we’ve learned (or not) to model emotional balance as dads without becoming walking affirmation posters.
This one’s for every dad who’s ever been asked, “Are you mad?” when they were just squinting at the thermostat across the room or contemplating rafts on the Colorado.
