| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the weekend edition of the Daily Dad podcast, where on the weekends we do a deeper dive |
| 0:08.4 | at how to get better at our most important job, being a parent. Sometimes in these episodes, |
| 0:14.2 | I talk to best-selling authors and elite performers and other guests, but lately I've also been |
| 0:19.5 | having conversations with my wife, Samantha, the co-parent |

| 1:32.6 | away for work this weekend. |
