PAPA DO PREACH: The Dad Podcast

This week on Papa Do Preach, we sit down with the one and only Spencer Selmon, the mind (and muscle) behind Swamp Fox Jiu-Jitsu, for a conversation that’s equal parts insightful, unhinged, and laugh-out-loud dad-core.We dive into the serious side of fatherhood as Spencer breaks down what it really means to protect your kids, both physically and mentally. But in true dad-podcast fashion, we don’t stay serious for long. Soon we’re swapping ridiculous stories about the “animals” we call our children, celebrating the strangely emotional journey of owning a Roomba, and debating whether a robot vacuum counts as part of the family.Of course, no episode is complete without our fan-favorite recurring segments: This Week in Dadding — where we discover just how many things can go wrong in seven days.Grumpy Old Men — where we come face-to-face with the alarming (and hysterical) reality that it takes almost nothing to set us off anymore.It’s an episode full of hilariously relatable dad-rage, unexpected wisdom, and the kind of chaotic storytelling only dads can deliver.New episode drops every other Wednesday for the holidays — don’t miss out!

In this laugh-filled Halloween episode of Papa Do Preach, we sit down with the one and only Thomas Blackmon for a conversation that starts with costumes and candy and somehow ends with dad guilt, dad pride, and dad hypocrisy… the good kind.We swap stories about trick-or-treating with our families — the chaotic costumes, the over-eager toddlers, the teens who swear they’re “too old” but still want the candy — and we dive into that universal dad reflex: getting protective the second someone else pokes fun at our kids, even though we’ve been roasting them lovingly for years. It’s the classic dad double standard. We get to laugh at our own families… but everyone else? Watch yourself.We visit our regular segments of This Week In Dadding and the all important Grumpy Old Men section and it's sure to, once again, not disappoint.Between the jokes, the parenting confessions, and the moments of, “Yeah, I guess we do the same thing,” this episode is equal parts heartwarming and hilarious. Grab your Halloween candy (preferably the stuff you stole from your kids’ stash) and join us for a fun, honest, dad-level deep dive into family, boundaries, and the spooky season chaos we all pretend we’ve mastered.New episodes Wednesdays!Be sure to like, follow and subscribe to our YouTube Channel also where you can watch the full video episode!
