Squirrel (Guests: Baker Ranger Ben and Bill Cheeto from Z2H)
What do you get when Papa Podcast, Baker Ranger, and Bill Cheeto get together with no script and no game plan? Absolute chaos. In this special episode, three friends catch up on life, share updates on what’s been happening behind the scenes, dive into all things nerd culture, and chase more than a few conversational squirrels along the way. It’s a laid-back, unfiltered conversation full of laughs, friendship, and the kind of random tangents that only happen when old friends get together. So grab a snack, settle in, and prepare to go wherever the squirrel takes us. A Personal Note from Papa Podcast: Many of you have reached out asking how you can support our family during my wife’s treatment journey. First and foremost, thank you. Your messages, prayers, and encouragement have meant more than words can express. For those who have asked how they can help, I’ve included links below to our Meal Train, Venmo, and Cash App. There is absolutely no obligation—your continued support of the show and your kindness already mean the world to our family.

Skipping School and Beyond with Dr. Joren Whitley
For Episode 183 of If You Give A Dad A Podcast, Jared sits down with one of his oldest friends, Dr. Joren Whitley, for a full-circle conversation years in the making. What started with skipping PE and grabbing food at Sonic turned into a 20-year friendship shaped by anime, life changes, career growth, and unexpected journeys around the world. Joren shares his path from small-town beginnings to worldwide travel, the experience of going viral online, and how he’s handled criticism and backlash surrounding his work. Along the way, the two revisit the moments that built their friendship — including the story of how they first met — and dive into behind-the-scenes stories you won’t hear anywhere else, including a wild connection to Tiger King. More than an interview, this episode is about friendship, growth, and how the people we meet early in life can shape who we become.
