We’re joined this week by Chris Gethard. He’s a comedian and longtime wrestling fan who’s new book is entitled Dad at Peace. He’ll tell us stories about becoming friends with Sami Zayn and hanging out backstage at wrestling shows. 

This past weekend, Perth, Australia hosted Elimination Chamber, the final PLE before WrestleMania. The responses were middling, but the event did succeed in setting up the WWE’s biggest show of the year. The team discusses their opinions on why every match was at least worth watching on Saturday.

Plus, a love tribute to Virgil, an underrated wrestling icon of a bygone era. 

The Main Event

Ever since his WWE debut, Dominik Mysterio was dismissed as little more than a nepo baby hire. And these days he arguably gets more heat than anyone else in the company BECAUSE he's a nepo baby hire! And a goth!

Lindsey put over the OK show.

Doug shares his experience of moving to NYC to be a drunken harlot before finally chasing his standup dreams, but not before dipping a toe in the world of improv with his former teacher and this week’s guest, Chris Gethard.

They discuss the terrors of witnessing your child’s head trauma over FaceTime, the prospect of ending up as t-shirt salesmen, and how peer criticism can unfortunately outweigh fan support.

[This is part 2 of a 2 part conversation]  In "The Lonely Dad Conversations," comedian Chris Gethard interviews a dozen dads to explore commonalities between their fatherhood journeys. What he finds, is that, plain and simple, when we become dads, we turn pretty lame. That's not to say that becoming a parent isn't an amazing, powerful, and positive life change, but think about it... are you as cool as you used to be before you had kids? Me neither. Chris joins us to laugh, ponder, and dissect some of the recurring themes in "The Lonely Dad Conversations."

In Episode 84 of Modern Dadhood, the guys quickly recap Easter and Adam asks Marc to kindly share some compliments about his wife, before returning to Part 2 of their conversation with Chris Gethard. Chris is promoting his new book on Scribd called "The Lonely Dad Conversations," and the guys ask him about some of the recurring themes that pop up in the book, including:

•  How dads are like "backseat passengers"
•  How the baby boomer generation are different dads than we are
•  The role of your social life when you become a dad
•  Our kids observing our screen time
•  And More!

Before closing out the 'sode, Adam and Marc share a quick round of "Kisses and Disses" inspired by recent podcast reviews. Leave a review for the show and you, too, could be featured in an upcoming segment!

Most new-dads-to-be do the obligatory preparation: You look through the couple of "survival guide" style books gifted to you by a friend. Watch YouTube videos on swaddling techniques. Read up on tips for potty training. Buy a new coffee maker to elevate your caffeine game. And ready your mind for the impending insanity of parenthood. But somehow, despite all the "thorough" preparation, every new parent gets sideswiped with a slew of unexpected emotions and challenges. And here's what those "survival guide" books can't possibly set you up for: Becoming a parent will change you... And it can bring on some intense emotions and self-revelations. Comedian, writer, actor, and podcaster Chris Gethard returns to Modern Dadhood to chat about the cultural shift that's enabling dads to examine these feelings. In classic Gethard style, even the heavier themes which appear in his new book The Lonely Dad Conversations are explored with openness, sincerity, and a lot of humor, and the same is true of our chat in this episode. Don't drop off before another installment of the beloved (sub)segment Did I Just Hear That Out Loud?  [This is part 1 of a 2 part episode.]
 

Episode 83 of Modern Dadhood opens with Marc & Adam trying out an exercise where they expedite their catch up by reducing it to 5 words. They keep it brief because they know that their first returning podcast guest, comedian Chris Gethard, is going to bring the goods. Chris hosts his own podcasts Beautiful Anonymous and New Jersey Is The World, he stars in standup specials, has appeared in numerous TV shows and films, and he returns to Modern Dadhood to discuss his new book The Lonely Dad Conversations.

Chris and Hallie's son Caleb ("Cal") is 4 years old, and as Chris shares candidly, he's potty trained, but can't yet wipe his own butt. After reassuring him that Cal will hit that game-changing milestone soon, we get down to business and talk loneliness. When Cal was born, Chris found himself in a state of deep loneliness, and in an effort to better understand these feelings, he interviewed a bunch of fellow dads about their unique fatherhood experiences. Chris grouped the answers by common themes that came up, and spoiler alert... it turns out he wasn't alone in his loneliness.

The guys discuss a number of themes which pop up in The Lonely Dad Conversations, including:

•  The rejection of "Hustle Culture"
•  Focusing on your own death when you become a parent
•  The importance of maintaining your sense of self
•  How your concept of time shifts when you become a parent
•  And more!

The conversation will span two episodes, so please subscribe to Modern Dadhood so you'll be alerted when episode #2 releases!

The guys round out the episode with an installment of Did I Just Say Hear Out Loud?

Episode 63 of Modern Dadhood opens with a brief conversation about something called an "amuse-bouche," and a story from Marc about one of his 4-year-old twins working through some big emotions like a true champion. Marc shares that something very special happens during the second half of our interview with comedian Chris Gethard: Previous Modern Dadhood guest Brian Manor (Episode 41) is invited back to meet Chris, whose 2017 HBO special "Career Suicide" had a meaningful impact on Brian's own journey with mental illness. The conversation covers topics including:

•  The uncluttered, unbiased love that a kid shows their parent
•  Chris' fear of his son Cal discovering his writing and stage work
•  Previous guest Brian Manor addresses Chris directly
•  Beard growing techniques
•  The risk of becoming a spokesperson for depression
• And more!

There’s no definitive guidebook to parenthood. (It would sure be a lot easier if there were though, huh?) In episode 62, Adam and Marc wax lyrical with comedian, actor, writer, fellow podcaster, and dad Chris Gethard about toddler poop, fatherhood fears, vulnerability, and destigmatizing mental illness. With Chris’ essay Dad On Pills serving as a guidepost, the conversation explores Chris’ determination to normalize the conversation around mental health. After, Marc shares a mildly macabre incident in the segment "Did I Just Say That Out Loud?" This interview with Chris Gethard is part one of two.

Episode 62 of Modern Dadhood opens with an acknowledgement of the passing of the amazing Emilio Delgado, who played Luis on Sesame Street for decades, and was kind enough to join us on the podcast in July of 2020. The guys get right into part one of their conversation with comedian, actor,  writer, and fellow podcaster Chris Gethard. Chris is promoting his new essay on Scribd called "Dad on Pills" which is a powerful piece about his history with mental illness, his experience becoming a father, and the art of balancing these two big pieces of his life. Chris discusses topics such as:

•  Fleeing from his home in Queens with a newborn when the pandemic hit
•  Getting poop on your hands
•  Potty training: boys vs. girls
•  Normalizing the mental health/mental illness conversation
•  Moving away from "workaholic" culture
•  Being "too soft" vs being "tough"
•  And more!

The second part of the conversation will be featured in our next episode.

Chris Gethard (The Chris Gethard Show) gives us a full New Jersey episode. He talks about why people in New Jersey have a stepped on attitude and why he felt compelled to work so hard at comedy. He also talks about working for a magazine called "Weird Jersey", getting a writing assistant's job to learn about writing, and why he decided to make a public access show after a cable show he was on failed.

I mean, it’s Chris Gethard, y’all! This Jersey-proud, deeply funny and deeply honest Boy of Summer talks high school, hot dogs, highs and lows, and so much more in this glorious episode.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly one in five adults in the U.S. lives with a mental illness. If anything, that statistic tells us that those who are struggling are not alone in their struggle. Still, reaching out for help can sometimes feel insurmountable. In this episode, guest Brian Manor, a dad to two, shares his personal story and talks openly about his challenges with clinical depression, social anxiety disorder, and seasonal affective disorder. Stick around to the end for another round of the infamous recurring segment, Confessions. 
 

Episode 41 opens with hosts Adam and Marc briefly recounting their experiences getting their first doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, coincidentally scheduled on the same day. The guys transition to a discussion of mental illness; specifically the ways in which society addresses mental health, and how the conversation has shifted over the past 30 years. The guys welcome Brian Manor to the conversation. Brian is a husband and a father of two. He lives in Wisconsin, works for a blood donation organization, and writes for his fatherhood-themed Fatterhood: A Humorous New Dad's Blog. Brian shares openly, (both in his blog and during our conversation), about his history with mental illness and how it has affected his life, his job, and his role as a father. The conversation covers many topics including:

•  Why Brian is not ashamed of his mental health
•  The difficulty in diagnosing mental health conditions in children
•  Overlapping symptoms of clinical depression and anxiety disorders
•  The importance of SEEKING HELP!
•  The importance of checking on your friends if you’re concerned about them
•  The rise of discussing mental illness publicly and without shame
•  How educating his support system is helpful
•  How finding the right provider led to significant improvement
•  Being aware of potential signs in your children
•  Shop around for the right provider if you are able to
•  "It's not your fault, but it's your responsibility."

The episode culminates with  arguably one of the strongest Confessions sessions to date.

On a personal note from Adam and Marc, in each episode, we invite our listeners to reach out to us by e-mail. If you can relate to Brian's experience or you connect with this episode for any reason, you are more than welcome to reach out to us. While we are not experts on mental illness, fatherhood, or much of anything, really—we are good listeners. And we are here for you.

We've included links below that pertain to our conversation with Brian, as well as some additional resources that we'd encourage you to explore. But as a reminder, there is no shame in seeking help. And, despite how it may feel, you are NOT alone. We love you and appreciate you!

On today's episode, I have one of my favorite improv teammates, Nate Brown. 

We met in comedy, but Nate Brown has an extensive career in film and television. He is currently working as Studio Floor Director on "Chris Gethard Presents" and Studio Floor Supervisor on "NY1 News." 

I truly love how honest and raw Nate is on this episode. It's really heartfelt, and we talk about battling our insecurities, disappointments, and what is truly considered "successful." If you are working two successful t.v. shows simultaneously, wouldn't that be considered "success?" And if it's not, is there ever a point where you are going to feel you've "made it?" Nate's episode epitomizes everything this podcast is about. I'm so glad he came on and I think you are going to love it. 

Subscribe, rate, and review, and see ya next week! Episode is sponsored by Theatrical Index, with music by Sofie Zamchick. 

Nate is wonderful, and so are you.
