Before they were dads, they were bros! The Dad Brotocol explores the past to better understand the present. This podcast is packed full of nostalgia, laughter, family, and everything in between! Brought to you by Antpod Studio!

Uncle Chris is in charge. You've been warned.The boys survive a night at a small-town karaoke bar, meet some unforgettable characters, debate Marvel vs. DC, and discover that neither of them remembers nearly as many cartoon theme songs as they thought. Also: Book of Pennies, late-night HBO childhood trauma, and nostril hole cancer.

Dad joins the podcast for stories about haunted houses, lost keys, treasure hunts, fishing disasters, and the kind of family stories that remind us why we show up for each other. Before we were dads, there was Dad.

We tried to record a normal episode. Instead, Mom grabbed a mic.From there it’s part game night, part family hangout, and whatever happens when nobody sticks to the plan. Mom jumps in, has opinions, and somehow takes over the room.Before we were dads, we were bros… now we’re podcasting with Mom.

Episode 57: Lights Out Crash OutA family gathering, a simple problem, and one very long night.What starts as an attempt to get some sleep quickly spirals into confusion, conflicting eyewitness accounts, and allegations that RC may have been crashing out over absolutely nothing.Featuring cousins, chaos, and a mystery that should have been much easier to solve.

This week on The Dad Brotocol, Uncle Chris and Uncle RC accidentally turn on the microphones and stumble into an episode about adult friendship.What starts with a text to an old friend turns into awkward memories, ghosting, late-night phone calls, high school band stories, and one important realization:Nobody teaches you how to be a friend when you’re 42.1

What age did we peak?This week we invent a game to figure out the perfect age for random life experiences and immediately get distracted by road trips, cruises, Hot Wheels, football, and questions that make society stop making sense.

Uncle RC and Uncle Chris finally begin their MCU journey the only way two underprepared dads can: by immediately getting distracted, arguing about nonsense, and somehow spending way too much time discussing whether a missile should realistically have legs.Somewhere in there, we also talk about why Iron Man still works, why Tony Stark is weirdly compelling, and why Uncle Chris goes 0-for-4 during the quote game.One universe at a time.

This week on The Dad Brotocol, the guys suffer through a terrible joke book, argue through a chaotic round of Who’s Most Likely To, and bring Aubrey on for a family-friendly game of Outburst.Then, after a very serious warning, things go completely off the rails with the “Disturbed Personality Test” version of Disturbed Friends, where everyone tries to defend the least insane answer possible.Listener discretion is advised for the final segment.

RC thinks he just came up with a million dollar idea… and Chris is not convinced.In this episode, we break down Podcasting Without Fear, a classroom project where students build confidence by running their own podcast—interviews, segments, games, and all. It’s public speaking… without the part where everyone is terrified.We put the idea to the test:Chris attempts to interview Aubrey (with mixed results)We dive into a chaotic Did You See That? segmentAnd the episode ends with a full-on Superfight battle featuring arguments that absolutely make no senseSomewhere in the middle of all this, we might actually prove that podcasting can help kids find their voice.Or we just prove that we shouldn’t be in charge of anything.

In this episode, we go all in on Nintendo—where it started, what it is now, and where it might be going next. From old-school memories like Duck Hunt, Tetris, and Game Genie to the chaos of modern Nintendo and the new Mario movie, we cover it all. Along the way, Uncle Chris drops some Nuggets, we debate the best Mario games, and try to figure out why Nintendo still works when nothing they do should make sense.
