Summary
Josh Brolin sits down with Ryan, fresh off a full-blown parenting meltdown. As he puts it, “I just had to read The Daily Dad to calm the f**k down.” In today's episode, Josh and Ryan dive into the raw realities of fatherhood, the influence of his own parents, and the timeless lessons that continue to shape him as a dad.
Josh Brolin's breakout role was in The Goonies (1985), and after a hiatus from Hollywood, he made a powerful comeback in No Country for Old Men (2007). He received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Dan White in the biopic Milk (2008).

| 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 | and how to get better at our most important job, being a parent. Sometimes in these episodes, |
| 0:13.9 | I talk to best-selling authors and elite performers and other guests, but lately I've also |
| 0:18.5 | been having conversations with my wife, Samantha, the co-parent of my two |
| 0:22.6 | boys. We do it over in the Daily Stoic studio here in Bastrop, Texas. She and I talk about things |
| 0:29.0 | that we're working on as parents, things that we're working on as people, and how we are supporting |
| 0:35.8 | each other, challenging each other, and like I said, trying to get better |
| 0:40.5 | at what we do. Guest or not, I hope you hear some ideas here that will help make you a better |
| 0:46.5 | parent. I was better for having the conversation. I hope you enjoy. Look, if you want to be healthy, if you want to be at your best, if you want to perform |
| 0:58.7 | at your best, there's a few non-negotiables. And I think one of those is quality, right? |

| 1:18.4 | by a bunch of high performers across the world. Momentus themselves obsess over qualities, |
| 1:25.7 | particularly in their ingredients. They invest in NSF certification, |
| 1:31.7 | meaning every batch is tested by heavy metals, harmful additives, label claim accuracy. |
| 1:37.7 | And they trust the research and their ecosystem of experts instead of fads, instead of trends. |
| 1:46.4 | Momentous believes in nailing the basics with bone crushing consistency and then curating an intentional routine based on your individual |
| 1:51.8 | goals. And by basics, they're talking protein and creatine, which is an absolute must for men |
| 1:58.8 | and women in peak physical and cognitive performance. |
| 2:02.1 | You can grab their stuff right now at live momentous.com and try it at 20% off with Code Daily Dad 20 and start living on purpose. |
| 2:23.7 | Hey, it's Ryan. Welcome to another episode of the Daily Dad podcast. It was sort of surreal. |
| 2:28.9 | You know, we get to interview some cool people with Daily Stoke and Daily Dad. And, you know, |
