Episode 198: Building Core Memories 80’s Style 🔙⏰

Great Scott! It’s Back to the Future Day, and we’re diving into the time-traveling DeLorean to relive our favorite 80s moments. In this episode, we’re talking about the highs and lows of flying solo as a dad, bonding with our kids over classic 80s movies (yes, Uncle Buck is required viewing), and why music makes everything better—even epic bedtime battles of good vs evil.

Plus, we dig into why parenting should be a partnership and how building those core memories is really the best part of the job (second only to perfecting dad jokes). So grab your Walkman, crank up the Journey, and join us for a laugh-filled trip down memory lane!
