In this festive yet unfiltered episode of Dads Against the Narrative, Jack and Nate cut through the holiday noise to explore the real history, biological rhythms, and spiritual significance of the Christmas season. While Jack rocks a Santa hat and Nate sports an ugly sweater, the conversation goes far deeper than festive attire.

The dads debate the origins of the holiday, comparing the Christian narrative of Jesus’ birth with the historical and pagan roots of the Winter Solstice, Saturnalia, and Sol Invictus. They discuss why they choose truth over myth regarding Santa Claus, ensuring trust remains the foundation of their parenting.

Beyond the history lesson, Jack and Nate challenge the modern hustle of "New Year, New You," arguing that winter is biologically designed for rest, not resolution-based burnout. They emphasize that the true magic of the season isn't found in consumerism or expensive gifts, but in slowing down, being present, and building lasting traditions that your children will remember for decades. Tune in for a raw conversation on how to reclaim the holidays, lead your family with intention, and embrace the season of giving.

How do you protect your children’s minds in an age of constant misinformation? In this episode of Dads Against the Narrative, Jack Nofel and Justin Kyser (Primal Dad Truther) sit down with Brett Pike, founder of Classical Learner, to discuss the "red pill" moments that changed their lives and the essential concept of Intellectual Self-Defense.

Brett shares his journey from being a history major to realizing much of his education was fraudulent, and why he now focuses on teaching young people how to identify logical fallacies and reconstruct their worldview. We dive deep into the challenges of "De-schooling Dad," navigating family relationships after "waking up," and why teaching your kids entrepreneurship and critical thinking is the ultimate way to take back power.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The "Aha" Moment: How a conversation about the food system led to a total breakdown of the status quo.

• Intellectual Self-Defense: Why your brain needs "antiviral software" against societal programming.

• De-schooling Fatherhood: The struggle and necessity of relearning everything to be a better guide for your children.

• Navigating Cognitive Dissonance: How to "seed" the truth to family and friends without destroying relationships.

• Empowering the Next Generation: Why we need to raise "good billionaires" and masters of multiple trades.

This podcast episode with guest Dakota May focused heavily on natural, conscious birth plans and the role of the modern father.

Dakota, preparing for his first child, detailed his and his partner's plans for a natural birth in a secluded valley in Guatemala. He explained his supportive, hands-off approach to the birth, prioritizing his partner's comfort and aiming for a minimal-intervention experience with a midwife.

Jack, Nate and Dakota criticized hospital births, advocating for natural, home-based deliveries while warning against unnecessary medical procedures like C-sections and epidurals. Nate shared his past experiences with hospital births and his later choice for more natural options.

The group stressed the father's need to be intentional and conscious about childbirth choices, even as they acknowledged the unpredictability of labor. Dakota discussed the challenges of his alternative parenting content and affirmed his choice to avoid conventional medical practices.
