MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!
It's the week of Christmas and the crew is talking holiday traditions. From White Elephant, tree pickles, and opening gifts on Christmas Eve, all the fun things we love about the holidays are here! So grab a mug of hot chocolate (or something stronger, you do you man) and come celebrate Christmas with your friends!
This week, the crew kicks off the holiday season with a conversation about Christmas movies!
We find out everyone has their favorites and of course...some hot takes on others.
So join us as Travis trashes a beloved classic and the rest of the cast trashes him for it.
I mean...could Misterguided kick off Christmas any other way?
And we're back! Season 2 of Misterguided is here!
Our guest today is Matt Wells. Matt's a husband and father of 5 so we're talking family dynamics and how we deal with drama, schedules, etc.
We'll be honest, Jesse deserves the award for Best Editor of All Time for this episode.
What started as a simple Q&A from some listener sent questions, turned into a hilarious conversation about everything from Santa, to the county fair, and even the bathroom habits of the guys.
Join the crew as we laugh, shock, and maybe even pull out a nugget of wisdom or 2 out of the chaos in this weeks episode.
But lets be real, it's proably just chaos..
Can you sense it? The slight chill of morning highs in the mid 70's. You're back to leaving the house 10 minutes earlier because school buses are back on your morning commute. The smell of pumpkin spice is literally everywhere.
It can only mean one thing in Texas...
FOOTBALL IS BACK!
This week, the crew is talking all things football. Pro, college, fantasy, and how our families survive it. It's all here on this week's episode of Misterguided.
WARNING: This episode does contain a brief conversation about miscarriages. Please be advised.
Between end of summer vacations, sickness, and back to school, it's been a while since the crew has been together. And we have a lot to talk about.
After a brief round of what's been good, what's been bad (Slays & Neys?), the cast talks about what back to school means in their respective houses.
We also introduce the new segment: "Gen Z Words with Titus Tapley!"
Finally, Travis gives everyone a chance to play Ask A Teacher.
One of goals when we started Misterguided was to have conversations that we believe more men should be having, more often. This is one of those conversations.
Jason Powers is back for his 3rd of 3 episodes to talk about his experiences with anxiety and what lessons he has learned from it.
After each of the guys talks about his own experiences with anxiety, the crew talks about the importance of showing emotions and being authentic with our struggles. Lastly, the cast discusses the challenge of raising sons to not shy away from emotion, but to know that we are made to feel, and how to process those emotions in a healthier manner than past generations.
Jason's back for his 2nd of 3 episodes!
This week, the cast talks about creativity in story and their love for The Boy Who Lived!
This week, we have the first of three episodes with our guest, Jason Powers.

This week, Misterguided welcomes it's second guest to the podcast, Titus Tapley!
Titus (14) sent the MIsterguided guys a text asking to be on the show and they guys responded with "You have 10 minutes to write down 5 questions". What he came up is with a wide array of different questions about manhood and fatherhood, such as :
- How scared were you when your found out you were gonna be a father?
- What do you look for in a friend?
- When will you let your kid have social media?
And as you would expect, the answers are deep and wide, with plenty of laughs and a lot of insight.
Look, if we're gonna have conversations that men are having, then we have to have an episode on conspiracy theories.
From Nessie and UFO's, to lizard people and ol' Sasquatch himself, the crew gets into their favorite theories and maybe even some they believe!
In the age of an instant and sometimes concerning news cycle, the crew talks about how we parent when it seems like the world has lost it's collective mind.
It's Father's Day! On this episode of Misterguided, the crew celebrates the day for dads!
The guys talk about things like:
-why we should probably throw expectations for parenting out the window
-what do they feel they do really well and what not so well
-what is their favorite things about being a dad?
So join us as we celebrate fatherhood and why it's the best job on earth!
The Bro Code. Some believe it to be nothing more then a myth. For others, it it is a strict code of conduct by which all men must live.
And so the Misterguided Crew is here to talk about what's real, what not, and why guys feel a need to follow at least some sort of law for men.
This week, we're talking culture and values at home.
After a rather tense conversation about socks, the crew digs into the importance of building a healthy culture in your home. The guys talk about the values and traits they hope to build at home and what it is they want their family to be known for.
This week, the Misterguided crew is talking about driving habits!
If we're having conversations men are having, then we definitely can't skip the conversation about how awesome we all (think we) are at driving.
So buckle your sets belts and hold on (especially if Billy's driving). It's the driving episdode of MIsterguided.
It's just past the dawn of a new era. The smart phone era. With it, comes a whole new parenting hurdle when it comes to these devices and all the other distractions that come with life.

On this week's episode, Billy and Travis have a bone to pick with Dad Duty! The crew discusses where the idea of a dad "babysitting" his own kids comes from and why it needs to go.
This week on Misterguided, the crew answers the questions "What do guys mean when they say they're thinking about nothing?".
Hey! We started a podcast! What do two guys on the opposite end of marriage, parenting, and life do when all they talk about is how different their stages of life are? They start a podcast of course. We are Billy and Travis. Together we combined 30+ years of marriage and parenting as well as 40+ years in fields of ministry, education, and life coaching. If that doesn’t impress then neither will this podcast.
Joking aside Billy and Travis are well acquainted with everything that comes with being a guy. On our podcast, we will set out to tackle the age-old questions of what is a man and what makes us do or don’t do the things we do. Driven by a passion to see men break through the barriers and myths of what a man is vs what a man should be we will set out to cultivate a space where we will discuss topics like communication, vulnerability, accountability, and more Misterguided is a weekly hangout, with our friend Jeanette who will not only do her best to keep us on track but will provide an invaluable female perspective to the conversation.
Come hang out with us as 2 guys and their friends get together to have conversations guys are having and the conversations we wish men were having.
We may not help you, but we’re here for you.
