This week, we officially launch the new direction of the show — real conversations centered around competition, leadership, fatherhood, and identity through the lens of sports and life. To kick things off, we’re joined by Ryan Verdecia. From CrossFit athlete and fitness coach… to firefighter, entrepreneur, Airbnb host, husband, and father — Ryan opens up about the mindset behind wearing so many hats while still trying to show up fully for his family. We dive into: where his work ethic comes from what drew him toward competition and coaching why he became a firefighter balancing entrepreneurship with fatherhood the challenge of being present at home while constantly chasing more and what kind of example he hopes to set for his boys moving forward We also discuss coaching your own kids, discipline vs confidence, and the lessons competition teaches that carry over into everyday life. Plus, Ryan becomes the first guest to “Pass The Mic” and leave a question behind for our next guest. This is more than sports talk now. This is Daddy Wants To Play. Competition. Leadership.

At home, the “no” phase has officially arrived — and now we finally understand what our parents were dealing with. Then we get into pain… the kind that only bad beats can bring. From Aberg to Fitzpatrick in the span of an hour, we break down one of the most brutal stretches and revisit some all-time gambling heartbreaks. From there, we get into real-life conversations — the kind every guy knows he probably should have but might be avoiding. When it comes to family and in-laws, are you stepping up or staying quiet?

Justin is approaching one month of dad life, Allen has been buried studying for a promotional exam, and somehow two grown men just spent $250 on brand new baseball gloves like they’re getting called up tomorrow. On the football side… things got real. The Dolphins are cutting ties across the roster, including the Uno himself — Tua Tagovailoa — officially closing the book on an era in Miami.

Justin’s back with week-two dad updates — less sleep, more perspective — and we finally get his full Super Bowl reaction after missing last week’s show. Has time changed the way we look at it? Or is the media already overcooking narratives for next season? Then it’s Dolphins reset mode. Miami moves on from Bradley Chubb, Tyreek Hill, Nick Westbrook-Ikene, and James Daniels — so what is this exactly? A rebuild? A retool? A culture shift? Or something bigger? We break down what it actually signals about the direction of this franchise. Around the league, things are quiet… but somehow everyone is already predicting next year’s Super Bowl and MVP.

And now every guy in America wakes up Monday morning thinking… what the hell do we do now? This week on Daddy Wants To Play , we break down the Super Bowl, the moments that defined it, and whether it lived up to the hype. We give our take on the halftime show, the legacy angles, and whether one team really did dominate like predicted. But this episode isn’t just about the game — it’s about what happens after it. The NFL offseason officially kicks off with Franchise Tag season, the Combine, free agency, and the Draft on deck. For real fans, this is the reset. The real New Year. The season where hope, scouting reports, and bad mock drafts take over. And somewhere in there, we ask the bigger question: Why do guys feel restless once football ends? And where does that competitive energy go now? Because competing doesn’t stop when the season does. You compete at home. In the gym. In your marriage. In fatherhood. Everywhere.

We kick things off diving into his first week of fatherhood, the emotions, the exhaustion, and the moments no one really prepares you for. From there, it’s a quick life check — potty training is underway in Allen’s house. Peeing? Elite. Pooping? Still very much a private operation. On the football side, it’s Justin’s turn to weigh in on the Dolphins’ new direction. We get into the Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan hires, what real alignment between head coach and GM means, where Justin truly stands on Tua, and whether there’s still a little lingering tension from Allen enjoying Miami’s College Football Playoff run a bit too much. Then it’s our Super Bowl Picks Show as the Seattle Seahawks take on the New England Patriots in a matchup the league just can’t quit. Allen finally reveals which team he believes is about to dominate, and both guys lock in their three favorite straight-up bets for the game — no odds, just vibes.

With Justin in the hospital welcoming his first child, it’s a one-mic, solo episode reflecting on fatherhood, friendships, and those life moments that hit harder than you expect. From what it feels like the first time you hold your kid, to running a marathon for the first (and last) time, this one leans into the real stuff. On the sports side, we unpack the College Football Playoff Championship — Miami coming this close, coaching decisions that swung the game, and why the “U” is firmly back in the NIL era. Then it’s onto the Dolphins’ reset: Mike McDaniel landing with the Chargers, the Jeff Hafley hire, alignment with the front office, and what this new direction actually means for the franchise moving forward.

This week, the boys dive into Justin being officially on dad watch as his wife’s due date approaches, which sparks a dangerous conversation: would our wives actually be better NFL GMs than us ? (Some parts of the job seem… suspiciously easy.) From there, we break down the Miami Dolphins GM search , debate realistic candidates, and ask the question everyone wants to ask — should the Dolphins take a swing at John Harbaugh , even with Mike McDaniel still in the building? The Hurricanes are in the College Football Playoff Semis , favored against Ole Miss, and the boys struggle to see any outcome that doesn’t involve Miami heading back home for the National Championship . And after completely bombing our CFB playoff brackets, Allen and Justin get a shot at redemption by picking NFL Wild Card Weekend and lock in their Super Bowl matchup and eventual champion .

We kick things off by catching up on everything we’ve been watching, arguing about, and overthinking over the last week in sports. From the Heisman Trophy ceremony to the Miami Hurricanes officially punching their ticket to the College Football Playoff over Notre Dame , the Canes are having a moment… and we’re absolutely soaking it in. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Miami’s other football team. The Dolphins are back to spiraling , and the once-unthinkable conversation is now very real: Is Tua Tagovailoa on the verge of getting benched? To wrap it up, each of us fills out our own College Football Playoff bracket , and we put Justin on the spot — can he actually name every playoff team if the season ended today , or are we exposing some fraud behavior?

Plus, the return of the Elf on the Shelf already has the entire household (and this show) questioning life choices. Then we hit the field: • The Miami Dolphins have won 4 of 5 and somehow find themselves in the hunt . Should we actually believe this time? • The Hurricanes close out the season with a statement win — but do they still have a playoff pulse? • The College Football coaching carousel goes nuclear, including Lane Kiffin to LSU.

We look ahead at the Dolphins’ next three weeks fresh off the bye, debate (again) whether Notre Dame or Miami deserves a playoff nod — and hear one very loud argument that neither should make it (Roll Tide?). After some open-floor sports talk, Justin and Yanny go head-to-head in a heated Blind Rankings showdown featuring the NFL’s top receiving, rushing, and passing leaders.

Then we jump into our rave reviews of the Internet Invitational before diving into Dolphins talk, breaking down Miami’s win in Spain, and what it means for Mike McDaniel moving forward. College football gets spicy as we debate whether Notre Dame deserves a higher ranking — and if they should really jump Miami even after the Canes beat them in Week 1.
