After a five-month hiatus—which, let's be honest, felt like five years—The Dad Jokes Podcast is officially back! And what better way to return than with major life news: Jerry and his wife have welcomed their third child to their family!

This marks the fifth baby born between the two families since the podcast began, and we're celebrating by diving headfirst into the new parent chaos.

• The Birth Story: Jerry gives us the raw, minute-by-minute account of welcoming this new addition, sharing the unexpected twists and pure emotion of the delivery room. You'll have to listen to find out the new baby’s name and sex!
• The Logistics of Three: How the family dynamic has shifted, how the older siblings are handling their new role, and what the sleep situation really looks like two weeks in.
• Life Interrupted: We break down everything that happened during our 5-month break! Brandon and Jerry discuss their individual life changes, career moves, and personal milestones that kept them away from the mics.

Tune in for an honest, caffeine-fueled conversation about bringing a new life home, surviving the newborn phase again, and why the chaos of fatherhood is always worth the hiatus.
