Summary

"It was one of those nights. The boys would not go to sleep. They had that contagious energy that so often keeps brothers awake. The first time their father came in to tell them to go to bed, they didn’t listen. The second time, too. More giggling. Fighting. Playing games. Messing around. Getting into mischief.

Finally, on the third time, Jack Harbaugh was readying to yell, just like the father in the movie Step Brothers—RUMPUS TIME IS OVER!! And yet, he didn’t."

Ryan explains the lesson we can all learn from Jack Harbaugh on today's Daily Dad Podcast.
