We always just assume that David and Sissy (pronounced SIS-E) just want to hang. Well, we finally get that chance today while they talk about the new line of Daystar Dogs books for kids. The new books feature characters like Lucy and Owen, which focuses on teaching courage and resilience. The duo discusses the importance of resilience, especially as kids take fewer risks, the challenges of parental "over-attending" versus the "under-attending" of previous generations, and the difficulty of letting kids "sit in the struggle."

This week, the legendary Dan Wilson joins Dadville from "the Minneapolis of California." You surely know Dan from the many, many, many hits he's written for The Chicks, Adele, Chris Stapleton, and dozens of others. Oh yeah, he's also behind one of the biggest hits of the '90s, "Closing Time." We unpack Dan's incredible career, from his time in Trip Shakespeare and Semisonic to his ridiculously long list of songwriting and production credits, and his new instrumental piano album, 'Goodnight, Los Angeles.'  Plus, discover what his 17-year-old jazz bass self would think of it all ("What happened to the bass?") and why parenthood is the ultimate "helpful constraint."

In this episode, Dave and Jon dive deep into the hilarious (and sometimes infuriating) world of dad pet peeves. From Dave's intense dislike for sidewalk chalk on his property–a hill he declares he'll die on–to the endless battle against tiny wrappers on the floor and wet towels left anywhere but the rack, they air their most relatable frustrations. Jon shares his number one peeve, and they both lament the cans that don't quite make it into the trash. Amidst the abundance of humor, they grapple with the tension between wanting a tidy house and the perspective that "you won't care when they're 80."

In this episode, we're tackling the boss-level challenge of parenting teens headed for college with Dave Kozak of Elite College Planning. The fellas get real about the stress of saving for college (spoiler: most families feel behind), the ever-growing cost of tuition, and whether the whole college experience is actually worth the hype—or just a very expensive four-year experiment. Enter Dave Kozak, our financial Yoda for the episode. He breaks down college savings like it's Money 101 for Hogwarts parents—especially 529 plans, which are basically your magical vault at Gringotts. He also explains the difference between “green money” (the scholarships and grants—aka free money, the good stuff) and “red money” (loans, aka the dark side). Plus, he's all about helping parents level up their strategy when it comes to understanding financial aid, college pricing games, and how to help your kid channel their inner Elle Woods and advocate for themselves. So if college planning feels like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded, this episode's here to help you figure it out—and have a little fun along the way.

Listen in for a comedic dive into the chaotic circus of technology and family life takes center stage as our guest discusses how to balance it all. Joey Odom founded a company called Aro, which helps parents to be more intentional away from your phone.

Joey recounts his own cringe-worthy moment: missing his son's first goal while chasing a “must-read” meme on his phone.

Quite a bit has happened with Mike Donehey since his last visit to Dadville.  As a father of four girls, Mike has come to grips with the fact that at any moment someone in his house is crying and someone else is laughing. He also talks about what lead the re-forming of 10th Avenue North—with all new members. (Sorry, there's no real drama there.) This is an incredible episode that talks about work/life balance, dealing with your kids' mental health, and when to "overshare."  Join us: http://dadville.substack.com Thanks to our sponsors!
