Should your dad be your best friend, or is being your dad a completely different job?

Corey Winfield, Larry Herron, and Jaydee Frandsen talk about fatherhood from three very different stages of life, then turn the questions over to Larry’s sons, Hendrix and Rockwell.

They get into confidence, discipline, failure, helicopter parenting, letting kids learn the hard way, and the strange shift that happens when your children stop being little and start becoming their own people.

Plus, Jaydee introduces the “asshole tunnel,” Corey admits he may be a keypad parent, and a seven-year-old might have the best answer of the whole episode.

Jaydee Frandsen recently drove across America listening to radio stations from coast to coast and came back with one simple question:

Why did people stop listening?

What starts as a conversation about local radio quickly turns into something bigger.

Corey, Larry, and Jaydee discuss the rise of corporate media, the decline of local personalities, why free isn't always better, and what happens when creativity gets replaced by algorithms and consultants.

Along the way, they explore leadership, community, nostalgia, local voices, and the difference between content and connection.

Plus:
• Strange radio stories
• Legendary DJs
• Request lines
• Small-town broadcasting memories
• And a few reasons nobody can agree on

Whether you grew up with local radio or stream everything from your phone, this episode is really about one thing:

What happens when people stop listening?

🎙️ Dirty Little Pond Podcast
Real conversations. Big opinions. No filters.

Sometimes your brain tells you everybody hates you.
Sometimes one text message ruins your entire day.
Sometimes you convince yourself you’re getting fired because your boss says, “We need to talk.”

And sometimes… you just need a mental health day.

This week on the Dirty Little Pond Podcast, Corey, Larry, and Jaydee talk about anxiety, depression, therapy, medication, intrusive thoughts, parenting fears, and the weird little lies our brains tell us.

Somehow it also turns into:

• electric scooter gangs,

• lawn mowing nostalgia,

• conehead babies,

• and why FedEx might be the scariest way to get fired.

It’s honest.
It’s uncomfortable.
It’s hilarious.
And it might make somebody feel a little less alone.
