Ep. 3- When It All Goes Wrong

Let's Dad This

Welcome back to Let’s Dad This, the podcast by two brothers just trying to dad their best. In Episode 3, “When It All Goes Wrong,” Adam and Jason get real about what happens when the parenting plan derails—hard.

From poop emergencies to delivery room scares, this one dives deep into the messiness of being a dad, emotionally and literally. Buckle up.

👶 Little Baby Topics

• Holden’s Revenge: Adam shares a very crappy story involving his 15-year-old Weimaraner, Holden, and the aftermath of a restaurant outing with baby Wren.

• One Month of Wren: Baseball onesies, longer stretches of sleep (hallelujah!), and what early dad life really feels like.

• Group Pediatric Visits: Adam and Alex attend a newborn group checkup—and discover the magic of not feeling alone in the chaos.

• To Swear or Not to Swear?: The bros talk about keeping things clean-ish for the sake of other parents and their kiddos.

• The Night Shift: Jay asks how Adam and Alex are surviving the newborn nighttime routine—and spoiler alert, they’re crushing it (for now).

🍼 Big Baby Topic: When It All Goes Wrong

After sharing Wren’s birth story in the previous episode, this week Jason opens up about the birth of his two youngest kids, Eliza and Skye. It’s real, it’s raw, and it gets heavy.

• Eliza’s birth: back labor, midwives, and a surprise speed-up to delivery.

• Skye’s birth: a smooth start… and then a terrifying postpartum hemorrhage that nearly took Jess’s life.

Jason’s honest reflection on being scared but trying to stay calm, supporting his wife, and what it means to be a partner when everything feels like it’s falling apart will stay with you long after the episode ends.
