About this listen
This week, Bret and Josh crack open the surprising origins of the dad joke — the most groan-worthy, eye-roll-inducing, low-effort form of humor ever invented. From ancient puns and Shakespearean wordplay to the psychology of why dads become pun machines in midlife, the guys unpack how cheesy jokes became a love language for generations.
It’s equal parts history lesson, cultural anthropology, and classic TFMT foolishness — because sometimes a bad joke isn’t bad at all… it’s just how dads say “I love you.”
