Episode 78 brings everything together — dad life, big sports moments, and a little chaos.

We kick things off with a coaching moment that might divide every parent listening. A little leaguer hits a home run, flips the bat, and celebrates with his team… so the question is simple — if that’s your kid, are you letting it ride or shutting it down?

From there, Justin talks about his first days back at work as a dad and how different everything feels.

Then we get into This Week’s Gas ⛽️:

• Rory McIlroy goes back-to-back at Augusta, something we haven’t seen since Tiger in 2001–2002
• Our first ever Masters Pool recap… and yeah, some decisions didn’t age well
• What we learned from Masters weekend and what we’d do differently

We shift to the NFL where the Dolphins are starting to show real alignment. With De’Von Achane labeled “not available,” insight into the Malik Willis move, and a clear connection between Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan, things feel different heading into the draft.

With two first-round picks, we build out what a perfect draft night looks like for Miami — who we’re taking, what we’d change, and what would actually move the needle.

We close it out with what’s been pissing Justin off this week and a final take heading into the weekend.

It’s finally here… Masters Week.

We kick things off with some life updates — Jayce takes his first trip to the Keys, the HOA saga somehow continues, and Allen finds out the hard way what a HYROX race really feels like.

Then we get into This Week’s Gas ⛽️ — a full slate of questions that say a lot more about you than you think:

• Chocolate or vanilla… and what your answer actually means
• You’re 8+ innings into a shutout — do you want your manager asking you before pulling you?
• A very questionable “just a friend” rooftop scenario
• Would you rather break 90 forever or attend the Masters every year?
• And how much do Masters “trends” actually matter

From there, we lock in on Augusta.

We break down the trends, narrow down the field, and give our picks for who’s slipping on the green jacket this year — including sleepers and fades.

Episode 76 is chaos… in the best way.

We kick things off with dad life, where Kai officially drops his first curse word — and somehow manages to blame someone else for it. Meanwhile, Justin is back in the ring with the HOA for Round 3, and at this point it’s starting to feel personal.

Then we get into This Week’s Gas ⛽️:

• Gary Woodland delivers one of the best comeback stories in recent memory
• Tiger Woods has everyone talking as he steps away from the game
• MLB’s ABS challenges are already getting… questionable
• Allen is starting to come around on the Dolphins’ new regime
• Duke’s heartbreaking tournament loss leads us into ranking the most painful moments in sports

From there, we switch it up.

After watching Ultra Weekend in Miami, we draft the Top 3 best feelings in sports — the moments where the lights are on, the crowd is going crazy, and you feel like the main character.

We close it out with what’s been pissing Justin off this week and a final take to send you into the weekend.

Episode 75 is loaded.

We kick things off with a question that hit a nerve — what’s something you said you’d NEVER do as a dad… that you now do every day? Turns out, we’re all becoming our parents whether we like it or not.

From there, we get into This Week’s Gas ⛽️:

• Justin goes into Round 2 with the HOA (and might actually be up… for now)
• Fitzpatrick gets it done while Koepka feels this close — plus a check-in on our Masters pool
• NFL Free Agency continues to hand out bags — we sort through what actually matters and what doesn’t
• March Madness chaos and the Bryan Hodgson storyline
• MLB Opening Night on Netflix and whether baseball is finally figuring things out

Then we have some fun.

We spin the wheel, land on a random franchise, and build an all-time team — full lineup, starter, and manager — no stats, no Googling, just memory and gut. And if you miss someone… you’re getting called out.

Episode 74 is a little bit of everything — because that’s just where we’re at right now.

We start with the aftermath of the HOA clip that turned into a full-blown support group, plus a real update from Justin on how things are going. 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?

On the sports side, we hit the latest:

• Jaylen Waddle heading to Denver

• The Maxx Crosby trade that didn’t happen

• And whether the World Baseball Classic is actually becoming one of the best events in sports

Then we get into a game — blind ranking our way-too-early Super Bowl contenders, no stats, no changes, just gut decisions.

We wrap it up with what’s been pissing Justin off this week and a final take heading into the chaos of the offseason.

Daddy Wants To Play is back after two weeks off — because life happens.

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.

Around the league, NFL Free Agency is already chaos. Bags are being handed out like candy and teams are racing to “win the offseason.”

We break down the biggest moves, what it means for the Dolphins, and whether winning free agency actually matters.

Then we jump into another competitive game segment — trying to fix a struggling franchise with only three moves.

We wrap it up with what’s been pissing Justin off lately (an HOA might be involved).

Episode 72 is offseason energy at full volume.

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. We react to the February overreactions, trade rumors, and early favorites.

And then we have some fun.

We build a Super Bowl-winning team live on the show — one position at a time — no stats, no Googling, just gut instinct and competitive debate.

We wrap with Spotlight or Shade and a Final Gas to send you into another week of offseason chaos.

The Super Bowl is done. The confetti’s cleaned up. Bad Bunny shut down halftime.

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.
