Some of you may have noticed that one of our Dads is a woman. This raises the question: What is a Dad?

For D&D Dads, Dad is a philosophy. A Dad is a guide, a caregiver, a coach, and a teacher. A Dad is a shoulder to cry on and a source of practical solutions. We see being a Dad as a state that anyone can embody, regardless of gender or parental status.

You’re a Dad when you care for others with kindness, empathy, honesty, and humor.

When we decided to make an advice show, we didn’t want to make it from the point of view of experts who thought they knew better than you. We wanted to be the people you could turn to with a problem. People who looked at you and your question with compassion.

Both of us are parents, Brennan of two adult children and J.R. of a three year old. Being a parent means caring about someone, not because you think you’re better than them, but because you want them to do well, to succeed. That felt right to us. We thought about the best of what a Dad could be, a Dad ideal, and knew that this was what we wanted the show to be.

So here we are, your D&D Dads.

Got a question? Come on in and ask your Dads.
