TV has given us a lot of dads. Some have been great. Most have been well-meaning. Many probably shouldn’t be anybody’s model for fatherhood.

And then came Bluey. Seeing Bandit as a dad who was involved, imperfect, and actually parenting made Joe Gidjunis feel seen in a way the dads he grew up watching hadn’t, and it sent him looking for more. That search became the documentary Grown Up Dad.

Joe and producer Josh Kagi join Marlon and guest co-host Merve Lapus to talk about fatherhood, friendship, and . . . farting on planes. (Because some dad behaviors are just instinct.)

Now sound off: Who are the best and worst TV dads of all time? Tell us who we missed.

As a father who works in education, media, and the intersection of how those spaces show up in the lives of our kids, this discussion was like a hug. Marlon and the great team at @well2gether gave me the opportunity to co-host this special interview with @jgidjunis and @joshuakagi with @grownup.dad on PBS. We talked about what it’s like to be a dad right now, but more importantly, we had a lot of laughs and embodied in real time what the show itself hopes for more fathers. Sure, we wanna provide, be strong, and establish a strong foundation for our families, but we can also be emotional, present, and open to our own needs as a person and parent.

A lot of great shout outs to my team @commonsenseedu @commonsenseorg but also to those men, fathers, and educators who have helped to shape everything for me that has brought you to press play!

#gabegidjuni had a great day in Yosemite yesterday. Terrific tour by Zeke followed by hikes and drives and sunsets to see El Capitan and Half Dome at sunset. Core memory formed lying on rocks at Glacier Point and watching the sunset.

@yosemitenps and its Giant Sequoias are mesmerizing. They’re evidence of a beautiful world spanning millennia. 1st National Park for #gabegidjuni and the Every Kid outdoors 4th grade pass, and extra cool that we all got in for free!

An adventure getting here, flight to LAX, showing Gabe the 2nd largest U.S. city and then driving 5 hours to the rural beauty of the state. He picked up state #15 with California. And an exciting new adventure for @becgidjunis and me in a @jeep rubicon!

A rollercoaster in Group L this Saturday. Petar Sučić's rocket from outside the box, Derrick Luckassen's equalizer, and a late Luka Modrić corner met by Nikola Vlašić's head sent Croatia through as runners-up behind England. Modrić — 41 in September — just became the oldest player to record a World Cup assist. 🐐
