Wake. Dad. Drink. Repeat.

I'm excited to share a special episode with you from The Travis Macy Show. Travis recently sat down with Kari Loya for a conversation that will leave you reflecting on your relationship with your father and children. Kari is the author of the book Conversations Across America which is about  a 73-day, 4,600-mile cross-country bike trip Kari took in 2015 with his 75-year-old dad, Merv, who had early-stage Alzheimer's. As I was editing this episode for Travis' show I found myself reflecting about my dad, some of the many adventures we have had together, and how fragile that all felt last summer when he was diagnosed with cancer againThere is a moment at the end of Kari and Travis' chat that just about killed me. I'm reminded how lucky I am to have the relationship with my dad (truly with both my parents) that I have, and if you are lucky enough to feel the same - I hope this conversation moves those same feelings in you. Please be sure to check out the Travis Macy Show for more inspiring conversations like this one - and also grab a copy of Kari's book!  Learn more about Kari LoyaBuy Conversations Across AmericaSupport the Show.

For this Father's Day episode of the podcast, I sat down with my dad Mike “Pappy” Palmer to have a real heartfelt conversation about family, parenting, and life. We sat down over a glass of bourbon and covered a lot of ground - from our experiences raising kids and being grandparents, to how family dynamics have changed over the generations.Dad shared his perspective on the differences between being a parent and being a grandparent, which was really interesting to hear. We also got a little deep talking about coping with his cancer diagnosis last year and what that was like for both of us as a parent and child. Dad had some really wise insights about preparing kids for life's ups and downs. I really enjoyed talking with dad about how we each define success at this stage in life. I'm really thankful I was able to sit down and have this talk with dad and hope you enjoy it! - - - - - - - - - -Anthony Palmer on InstagramPalm Tree Pod Co. Website | InstagramWake. Dad. Drink.

I'm really excited to bring you this conversation I got to have with my good friend and the host of the Travis Macy Show, Travis Macy, and legendary mountain guide and adventurer Jason Antin. You may know Jason from his incredible Beat Monday series where he and former WDDR guest Mike Chambers take on epic outdoor challenges in 64 hours from Friday evening to Monday morning. I've wanted to have Jason on the show for a long time, and I am glad Travis could join us for this chat. I love hearing from endurance athletes about how they can apply the grit and determination they learn from their training and adventures to parenting and vice versa. We got some great insights from Jason on topics like pushing kids into activities, specializing versus sampling sports, and how Jason manages risk both as a guide and a dad. Jason also shared lessons he's taken from his many adventures on living passionately while prioritizing family responsibilities. I think you'll really enjoy this conversation and I hope you take away from it as much as I did. If you haven't already please make sure to go check out The Travis Macy Show wherever you are listening to this podcast. I feel fortunate to call Travis a friend and to produce his podcast. Travis is a great podcast host and I feel like I have grown a little every week when I get done listening to his show, and I think that is pretty cool. Learn more about Beat Monday | Jason Antin | The Travis Macy Show- - - - - - - - - - Anthony Palmer on InstagramPalm Tree Pod Co.

I first met Dr. Scott Frey when editing an episode of Choose The Hard Way hosted by Andrew Vontz and was immediately drawn to his story. Scott is an award-winning scientist, mentor, husband, father, and lifelong endurance athlete with over 30 years of experience at the forefront of research on the relationship between the human brain, our thoughts, and behaviors.  Today, Scott joins me to discuss the lessons he has learned from parenting his children and stepchildren, how he approached raising his kids with an openness to diversity, and the challenges of navigating technology use as a family in today's world. We also touch on defining success and finding purpose beyond achievements or possessions. I really enjoyed this chat with Scott and appreciate his thoughtful perspective on parenting, childhood development, and living with intention.As you know my goal with this show is to have real and vulnerable conversations about the life we live as dads. A big thanks to Scott for doing just that and sharing his story this week.We will be back in 2024 with new episodes and I am really looking forward to it!

I am really excited to share this conversation with Alex Palmer. And even though we have the same last name and an almost identical accent - we are not related. In this episode, Alex and I talk about what it is like to experience a difficult pregnancy, fertility treatments, miscarriages, IVF and many of the other challenges that can come with trying to get pregnant - from the male perspective. As listeners of this show will likely know, this subject is very personal to me and one that I feel is very important for men to talk about. Alex and I talk about how lonely and one-sided the process can feel for men and why we feel it is so important for men to talk to other men about what they're going through. Alex and I recorded this conversation this summer, so you will hear him talking about being pregnant during this conversation. I am happy to report that in early November Alex and his wife Gretchen's baby boy joined them and they are all doing well and are properly sleep-deprived! Alex is the founder and host of The Fellowman Podcast (formerly the Blackdog Cast) and does great work over there so be sure to check it out. My goal with this show is to have real conversations about the life we experience as dads.  A big thanks to Alex for getting vulnerable and sharing his story.

It has been almost a year - a YEAR! - since our last Wake.Dad.Drink.Repeat. episode dropped and we are kicking things back off with a very special story.This week on the pod, Phillip McCall joins me for a very deep and personal conversation about the journey that he, his wife Erin, and their son Wade have been on since 2021.While Erin was pregnant, their son Wade was diagnosed with Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO). While their story is filled with challenges, anxiety, setbacks, and periods of mourning - it is also full of love and support and has left Phillip with a deep understanding in the power of opening up, sharing, and “letting people in.”  Phillip and I talked about miscarriages and the emotional and mental struggles men face during difficult pregnancies. We also discussed finding peace in chaos and navigating major challenges with our healthcare system. Plus, Phillip shares powerful stories about how they nurtured their marriage relationship while their son was in the NICU.  For a deeper dive into the Mcall's story you can check out their blog here. This story is a perfect example of why I started this show, and I am so grateful to be back with each of you.

They talked a bit about the music industry and some of the changes Barry has seen during his time in it and spent the last part of the conversation talking about regenerative farming, why they practice it at Bales Farm, and why we need to see changes happening in our farming and food culture. A big thanks again to Barry for joining the podcast! In This Episode: Barry Bales on Instagram Aliceson Bales on Instagram Bales Farm Website | Instagram | YouTube | Cookbook Anthony Palmer on InstagramPalm Tree Pod Co.

Not only is he the host of the Travis Macy Show, but Travis is a friend, a client, and someone who I have really come to admire and have a lot of respect for as a human.  A huge thanks to him for taking over the show.

To all of you - if you are ever experiencing these types of challenges and struggles in your life, please know that talking to people about it really does help! Whether that is a professional, a family member, or a friend - knowing you have a support network of your own is so important. You will hear JB and me talk about this alot. If anyone out there is ever needing someone to talk to, I am always happy to share my experiences on this journey and to lend an ear. While we cover the mental health piece for most of this episode we also talk about WEDŪ, THEMOVE and THEFORWARD podcast, cycling, Operation Get Out, music, the perfect margarita and much more.

We also talk about their new strength program, Ripped and Ready, that is perfect for dads looking to get back in shape or keep their fitness journey moving forward. David was kind enough to give our listeners 20% their first month of the program using the code “WDDR”. David shared a great Today’s Dad definition that focused on the ability to be multi-purpose in your role and being sure to prioritize yourself and your relationship with your spouse.

This week on the pod we are joined by Dr. Allen Rigell! Allen is a dad to one, a husband, an Adult Outpatient Psychiatrist and Palmer’s Psychiatrist. We had Allen on the pod to discuss mental health for dads and men and really had a great conversation! Allen’s Today’s Dad definition was all about the different hurdles that come with all the different phases of fatherhood and how a Today’s Dad looks to the Tom Hanks that has been stranded on the island for years for advice about fatherhood instead of the Tom Hanks that just washed ashore. He also spoke about being in “autopilot” mode as a parent and partner and the balance of that. We talk about a lot on the pod this week, but the biggest take away we hope you get is that it is good to ask for help or a place to talk when you need it. We use this pod as an outlet to share our experiences and know the benefit of talking about the ups and downs of life.
