In today's episode Kail sits down with the Dude Dads for a candid, funny, and unexpectedly tender catch-up that hits everything from joining the “dead dads club,” visiting her estranged father before he passed, and what closure actually feels like. Tom and Jerry open up about losing their dads, addiction in the family, and why the first holidays without someone you love can wreck you.They swap stories about fatherhood, lineage, and the quiet pressure of being “the one who handles it". It’s messy, honest, and weirdly healing exactly the kind of conversation we want you to send to the men you love.
This episode is full of laughs, hard truths, and a reminder to keep traditions (and yourself) going. And if you need a new pod for your favorite guy, the Dude Dads want your follows and reviews.

| 0:04.5 | It's your fave villain, Kail Lowry. |
| 0:06.4 | And you're listening to Barely Famous. |
| 0:38.8 | All right, everyone. Welcome to Barely Famous Podcast. I'm sitting with the Dude Dad's, your favorite male co-hosts. Welcome to Barely Famous. That's pretty, your favorite male co-host. That's pretty special. No, at least I am. How are you guys? Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing. How are you? I haven't seen you in a long time. |
| 0:56.3 | I see Jerry almost every morning, but I have not seen you in a long time. You know, we graduated. I left at school. You know, we moved up. Yeah. I don't see you in morning. For anyone listening to this podcast in Delaware, you can send your kids to any school you want. I think I've talked about it on coffee convo. You can send your kids to any school in Delaware if you're willing to drive them. |
| 1:13.7 | So my kids keep asking me to be a bus rider. And I'm like, when we build a new house, which who knows when that's going to happen. Yeah. When we build a new house, then you'll be a bus rider. But for now. Yeah, is what it is. I actually read out to your property yesterday. Did you do hunt on it? No, I just wrote out there. Just put my eye on it. Oh, yeah. See how the beans are doing. |
| 1:14.9 | Yeah. Yeah, is what it is. I actually wrote out to your property yesterday. Did you do hunt on it? No, I just wrote out there. Just put my eye on it. See how the beans are doing. You know what I mean? Is it still being farmed? Do we know if that? Oh, okay, because I went out there one day and I was like, I don't even know if he's doing the farming here anymore. No, it's planting beans. You got a nice neighbor across the street. That little garage house. That looks really nice. I haven't seen it. I haven't been over there. There's no reason for me to go over there because we haven't started to build. Brand new, really nice. Jerry sold me the land for whatever if I build on it or not. It's, you know, 20, almost 20 acres. So I mean, 20 acres on that part of Delaware is pretty nice. Well, I've had people ask me to buy it from me, and I'm not. Don't. I will sit on it. Even if I never build on it, I will sit on it forever. Keep me a place to hunt. Yeah. There's a stand out there already. So, um, but so Jerry and I have been going through it a little bit. Um, I entered into the dead dads, as everybody knows, and both of y'all's |
| 2:01.3 | dads are dead. |
| 2:02.3 | Boo. Yeah. It's not a fun place to be on the side. |
| 2:07.5 | It's a little different for me. Like, people have said, I'm sorry for your loss, and I was |
| 2:10.5 | telling Kristen yesterday, like, it doesn't really feel like a loss for me because I didn't |
| 2:14.5 | know him. I met him twice. But then you also, yeah, I met him once |
| 2:20.1 | when I was 16 and pregnant. I was 17 and pregnant. And then I met him again in September. Those |
| 2:25.5 | are the only two times I've ever. No other conversations. Not even like a phone call, a birthday |
| 2:30.5 | card. I had one phone call before I went to meet him when I was 17, talked to him on the phone, and then that was the only phone call we ever had. Did he have like a big change of heart there when he was like, I'm assuming he's like on a deathbed there and just like, was he like absolutely different than you remember or like attitude different? Like like it was all the same with okay it just |
| 2:51.9 | slower moving he wasn't even on his deathbed like he was doing hospice um in home care but he wasn't like |
| 2:57.7 | in a bed like we sat at the table he got up to go the bathroom on his own like i thought i had maybe |
| 3:03.6 | one more visit left with him um but he did he reach out to the one to say, I want to see you? No. You reached out. July, my aunt called me. I was working in New York and she called or she messaged me on Facebook and said your dad has stage four COPD. You know, he's about to start hospice. And that was like the in-home care thing. And at that time, I was really upset because I was like, oh, like, I thought I had more time. And I don't think I ever really had plans to talk to him. And so like all the backlash that I'm getting now is like, you know, why now? Why would you wait until he's dying? Well, I didn't have, I didn't know how I was going to feel when I found out he was dying. |
| 3:43.0 | Do you know what I mean? |
