July 2026 - God Bless Josh Stapleton
<p>Between trips to New York, Seattle, and an upcoming trek to Philadelphia, Brett reveals his most obscure travel plan yet: a flight to Indianapolis just to watch Christopher Nolan's next movie in one of the country's few remaining 70mm IMAX theaters (and maybe grab a NASCAR race and a state map sticker while he's at it). Because why watch a movie down the street when you can fly for free on standby as a Delta employee to ensure nobody's forehead gets cropped out on a standard screen? Classic Brett.</p><p>Meanwhile, Josh is actually staying grounded, surviving the single-dad life while his wife is at girls' camp and prepping for his son Andrew’s massive mission farewell. The guys talk about the chaos of trying to feed up to 200 people with Italian beef sandwiches, and they dive into the high-stakes world of neighborhood lawn care. While Brett is out here committing environmental sins by watering his grass twice a day to attract homebuyers, Josh has been accidentally conserving water simply because he forgot to update his sprinkler timer.</p><p>Plus, with the nation's massive Semiquincentennial on the horizon, the guys play a special patriotic-tavern-gambling mini-game to celebrate the 250th birthday of America!</p><p>Finally, it’s time for the mid-year points check-in. The fitness numbers are at an absolute all-time low for both dads. Brett is currently bragging about a 17-point lead, but Josh gets candid about the wall of exhaustion he’s been hitting and his journey to find the root cause.</p><p>Can Josh close the gap once he gets his energy back, or will Brett's massive water bills and IMAX obsessions keep him ahead? Tune in to find out!</p><p><strong>Connect with us:</strong>Are you one of our mythical 20 listeners? Prove it!

June 2026 - Brett's Tears of Sam's Kingdom
<p>First things first: Brett owes the audience a massive apology for dropping this month's episode on the 10th instead of the 1st! His computer completely broke down and had to be sent off to the Geniuses at Apple Care, which caused a major delay in getting the show posted. But hey—the 1st and the 10th are only different by a single digit, so mathematically speaking, it’s pretty much the <strong>same</strong> thing, right?</p><p>Once the audio actually gets moving, Josh starts the episode with enough wild, 90s WWF energy to wake the dead—only to immediately admit his fuel tank hit absolute "E" the second the introduction ended. While a fatigued Josh spends the rest of the episode trying to be the sensible voice of reason through a gauntlet of family graduations and a brutal grass allergy (he literally <strong>has a row</strong> with the lawn), Brett brings his own brand of chaotic, over-the-top dad energy. Between dealing with broken sprinkler pipes—which really <strong>put a damper</strong> on his weekend—and icing his back after treating an elementary school kickball game like the Seventh Game of the World Series, Brett is somehow sitting on top of the world.</p><p>The monthly stats are in, and a massive scoreboard flip-flop has the guys rethinking their summer strategy. Hear how Brett used a high-stakes Switch 2 bribe to completely hijack Sam’s gaming habits (Zelda fans, there's a <strong>Ganon</strong>-ball sized twist here), and why Josh has wisely swapped his controller for a book. Plus, they dive into why expensive Italian restaurants can never compete with the glorious carb-load of Olive Garden. Don't worry, they are completely <strong>im-pasta-ble</strong> to reason with when it comes to breadsticks.</p><p>Stay tuned for the end of the show where Josh tries to close the scoreboard gap by casually claiming he cured cancer and saved an orphanage this month. Showing his true, goofy leadership style, Principal Brett actually agrees to negotiate the points—proving that while Josh can't buy a break, he can definitely get a pity point out of his co-host.</p><p>Eat well, get fit, and game on!</p>

May 2026 - You Paid How Much For This Podcast?
<p>This month’s episode of Fit Dad, Game Dad starts innocently enough and immediately goes off the rails when Josh’s intro music detonates inside his brand‑new AirPods. That moment sets off a delicate chain reaction involving a medical shot, excessive bleeding, sacrificed pants, washed‑and‑deceased headphones, and an impulsive leap from Android back into the Apple ecosystem—where Josh now lives in a confusing world of blue bubbles and Googling how to mute a phone.</p><p>Meanwhile, Brett reveals a life‑altering decision of his own, complete with selling a house, moving toward the mountains, waking up at 5:30 a.m. on purpose, and quietly accepting that he may be temporarily homeless. Along the way, the dads somehow track fitness stats, calories, and gaming hours so precisely that nearly everything is decided by a single point, while also spending alarming amounts of money on art, tech, ties, podcast software, and things they absolutely did not plan to buy.</p><p>There’s a mini‑game where no one guesses correctly, money still changes hands, and Rock‑Paper‑Scissors seals the emotional damage. There are gaming tangents, parenting moments, and just enough self‑reflection to pretend this episode has a point.</p><p>It’s chaotic, heartfelt, and exactly what happens when two middle‑aged dads hit record and let the conversation go where it’s clearly going to go anyway.</p>
