| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast. During the week, we bring you a daily meditation of the best parenting wisdom you can find drawing on history and philosophy and psychology and literature to inspire you to be a little bit better at the most important job you have. |
| 0:22.5 | And then on the weekends, I have sort of a wrap-up conversation with my friend, fellow dad, |
| 0:27.3 | and writing partner, Niels Parker. |
| 0:29.0 | We just explore what's going on in our lives, what we're struggling with as parents, |

| 1:47.8 | Hey, it's Ryan. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Dad podcast coming off |
| 1:54.9 | Father's Day-ish. I thought I'd share something I'm sort of working on with my oldest, who's turning five later |
| 2:06.5 | this fall. But usually before we go to bed at night, sometimes my wife and I just sort of talk |
| 2:11.5 | about what we could do better, what we're struggling with, what we notice the other parent |
| 2:15.4 | struggling with or working with. And we've been joking that my son is sort of pushing back on me that I tell him what to do too much. |
