• And whether the sport is moving in the right direction

This is one of those conversations that every cheer parent—new or seasoned—needs to hear.

What happens when a cheerleader tries to test her dad… and he actually passes?

In this episode of The Cheer Dad Podcast, we sit down with the dad behind the viral TikTok moment where he confidently answered “VIP” with “Viscous In Pink”—and instantly became one of the most relatable cheer dads on the internet.

But beyond the laughs, this episode dives into what it really means to be a cheer dad.

We talk about:

• How he got pulled into the world of all-star cheer
• Learning the language (or at least pretending to 😂)
• The chaos and magic of competition weekends
• The role dads play behind the scenes
• And why just showing up matters more than anything

Whether you’re a seasoned cheer parent or brand new to the sport, this is one of those conversations that reminds you what it’s all about.

Because at the end of the day… it’s not about knowing every term—it’s about being there when it counts.
