| 0:03.9 | Like it's, hey, we're all trying to grill. We're all trying to go to this standard. |
| 0:12.5 | Hey, guys, welcome to the five-minute fatherhood podcast. I'm your co-host, Jeff Beth Key, |
| 0:16.3 | along with my friend and mentor, Jeremy Pryor. Join us Monday through Friday as we chat about |
| 0:20.4 | quick tips, |
| 0:20.9 | skills, and ways to help equip you on your journey as a father to build your multi-generational |
