    Parent or Friend? Raising Good Humans, Setting Boundaries & Screen Time
    Oct 13 2026
    Two dads compare old-school childhood with parenting today—from a 10-hour ride in a pickup truck bed to setting boundaries, choosing consequences, and teaching kindness. Episode 2 also tackles adult screen time, doomscrolling, AI conversations, and making room for family, with detours into flying, Air Force One, and a father-son Yankees trip.What changes when the kid with the wild childhood stories becomes the dad setting the rules?Episode 2 of The Dad Show Unfiltered starts with a 10-hour ride in a pickup truck bed on a bean bag. That memory opens the door to a bigger conversation about parenting then vs. now: what we grew up with, what we question today, and what we want our kids to carry into adulthood.We discuss discipline, consequences, and the difference between being a parent and being a buddy. The conversation includes candid views on spanking and school corporal punishment, along with examples of taking away privileges and recognizing that different kids respond differently.The goal underneath it all is raising good humans—kids who can stand up for what’s right, read the room, and notice when someone needs help. A moment helping an older woman on New York subway stairs becomes a concrete example of what that lesson looks like in everyday life.Before we get there, we look at our own habits. Doomscrolling takes time, and setting social media limits can create a useful reminder to put the phone down. We talk about working more efficiently to make room for family, as well as using AI for practical help and personal conversation.We also revisit claims from Episode 1, share family tech frustrations, and take a few very unfiltered detours: a proposed whirlwind New York trip, short flights versus long drives, faith and flying, listening to Air Force One on air traffic control radio, and a father-son Yankees trip with unexpected hotel costs.IN THIS EPISODE• Episode 1 corrections involving AI privacy, surveillance and pricing, computing, Apple, inner speech, and other technology claims.• HomePod, iPhone, and shared-account frustrations at home.• AI as a tool—and the idea of talking to it as a friend.• Time management, social media limits, and protecting family time.• Childhood travel stories and changing expectations around safety.• Discipline, parenting boundaries, and different responses to consequences.• Teaching kindness, judgment, and the confidence to stand up for what’s right.• New York travel, flying, Air Force One, and a Yankees trip.• A brief discussion of UN Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030, explicitly introduced as a subject needing further research.EPISODE TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 Cold open: 10 hours in a pickup truck bed00:00:47 Sponsor: Live Rare AF00:02:12 Episode 1 corrections and clarifications00:11:33 Apple tech and family troubleshooting00:17:38 Using AI to review the last episode00:20:11 Talking to AI: tool or someone to talk to?00:23:08 Time management and making room for family00:26:56 Social media limits and fighting doomscrolling00:30:49 Childhood stories that look different today00:36:44 Spanking, school discipline, and consequences00:40:24 Being a parent instead of a buddy00:45:34 Standing up for what’s right—and reading the room00:47:41 A New York subway lesson in kindness00:50:18 Would you take a 24-hour New York trip?00:55:29 Short flights, long drives, and travel preferences00:57:08 Plane crashes, flying, and faith01:01:07 Air Force One and Tennessee football01:05:45 Agenda 21 and 2030: questions for future research01:08:57 A father-son Yankees trip and hotel sticker shock01:13:20 Knoxville hotels, game-day traffic, and airport choices01:18:21 Wrapping up and where to followJOIN THE CONVERSATIONWhat’s one lesson from your childhood you’re keeping—and one thing you’re doing differently as a parent?Follow The Dad Show Unfiltered wherever you listen, and share this episode with a dad who would have something to say about it.
