We Have Some VERY Questionable Parenting Advice | Dad Mailbag #93
Would you ever admit that you love your spouse more than your kids? Should you lie to your children to protect another family in your community? And is staying together "for the kids" actually doing more harm than good?
It's MAILBAG TIME on World's Greatest Dad, and Neil and Ali are tackling some of the most awkward, uncomfortable, and downright bizarre parenting dilemmas we've ever been sent in the old WGD mailbag.
This week, we're talking about a family that wants an entire town to lie about their dead dog, a father considering taking out a $30,000 loan to send his son abroad, a wildly inappropriate dad making everyone in his friend group uncomfortable, and one man who can't stop telling people he loves his wife more than his toddler!
Plus: the great smartphone debate, whether miserable parents should stay married for their children, Neil's complete indifference toward other people's dogs, a surprisingly heated argument about French fries, and a young listener whose family drama sounds suspiciously like a Disney movie.
Real questions. Questionable advice. Two dads doing their best.
Welcome to World's Greatest Dad.

The Internet Is Making Men Weird: Toxic Tate Bros, Looksmaxxing Explainer, and Two Dads Who've Had Enough
What the hell is happening to men? This week on World's Greatest Dad, Neil and Ali dive headfirst into the bizarre world of looksmaxxing, Clavicular, Andrew Tate, the manosphere, and a guy who literally had his legs broken to become 6'4". Along the way, they confront an uncomfortable parenting question: when teenage boys are getting their life advice from internet grifters, who's offering them something better? Plus, a crash course in Yiddish insults, Neil's first viewing of Point Break, and Bryan Cranston demonstrating what being a good dad actually looks like. Forget looksmaxxing. We're soulmaxxing, baby.
Trick or treat? Neil and Ali celebrate Halloween by tackling some of the holiday's trickiest parenting dilemmas. Is it ever okay to take more than one piece of candy? What happens when your kid refuses to wear the $80 costume they begged you to buy? Should you lie so your child can ditch their friends for the cool kids? And how much emotional trauma is worth a nonrefundable haunted house ticket?
The dads also rank their favorite Halloween candies, share some practical parenting hacks, and debate whether trick-or-treating is secretly communism.
Plus: Neil's dad falls in love with ChatGPT, Ali faces another outrageous medical bill, and the guys contemplate the horrors of getting older.
It's a Halloween special full of laughs, questionable judgment, and the scariest creatures of all: other parents.
