Nacho Average Padres

Ryan McDonald

The 'Nacho Average Padres' podcast is a discussion between two millennial fathers, Ryan McDonald and Robb Moreira, on their upbringing and parenting styles versus what's been done in the past from their parents. They come together and examine each topic from how they treat our homes, to shaving rituals, to even video game therapy sessions to name just a few. It's a familiar, but yet different approach to how fatherhood is viewed as it's through the lens of a millennial dad (under 40 years old at that!). What the boys discuss are for a generation that's starting their parental journey or already has young children. This podcast is dedicated to millennial dads making a difference in this hectic world we call life. Whether you are a single parent or married, we all can relate to each other on this podcast. Enjoy the two least likely representatives of an entire generation as they navigate through the struggles just us young dads have in common. It's about time someone talked about us! Keep an eye out for the next episode!
