| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Daily Dad podcast where we provide one lesson every day to help you with your most important job being a dad. |
| 0:16.8 | These are lessons inspired by ancient philosophy, by practical wisdom, and insights from dads all over the world. |
| 0:24.5 | Thank you for listening, and we hope this helps. |
| 0:33.4 | Here's how to calm your kids down. |
| 0:36.5 | Why are your kids so crazy? Why is everything so stressful? |
