Dadville with Dave Barnes and Jon McLaughlin

They didn't solve all the problems in this episode—but they got close. This week Dave and Jon finally give the people what they want: Two middle-aged dads just talking about life as touring dad, when to let your kids have a phone (or social media), and why running only 3 miles can be viewed as a cop out (sorry, Jon.)Join us here: http://dadville.substack.comThanks to our sponsors!Nutrafol - Get results you can run your fingers through!

Quite a bit has happened with Mike Donehey since his last visit to Dadville.  As a father of four girls, Mike has come to grips with the fact that at any moment someone in his house is crying and someone else is laughing. He also talks about what lead the re-forming of 10th Avenue North—with all new members. (Sorry, there's no real drama there.) This is an incredible episode that talks about work/life balance, dealing with your kids' mental health, and when to "overshare." Join us: http://dadville.substack.comThanks to our sponsors!AG1 - Try AG1 and get a FREE bottle of Vitamin D3K2 AND 5 free AG1 Travel Packs with your first purchase at http://drinkAG1.com/dadville.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at http://shopify.com/dadvilleOrgain - If you want to get in on the delicious protein-packed nutrition today, head to http://orgain.com/DADVILLE and use code DADVILLE for 20% off your order.

They reflect on the profound impact of his music, discuss the challenges of aging creatively in the Christian music scene, and emphasize the importance of parenthood and family values.

Dive into a lively discussion where the speakers tackle everything from amusing experiences like playing Marco Polo without a pool to the profound impact of morning routines on parenting.

We aren't going to pretend that this is just another episode of Dadville, because it's not. Bruce Hornsby is here. Can we just let that last sentence soak in a bit? BH (can we call him that?) is a seminal influence on the fellas and they go deep on his history of being discovered by Michael McDonald, recording with Bonnie Raitt, beating Allen Iverson, and so much more. This is an instant HOF episode of Dadville. Become a citizen of Dadville: http://dadville.substack.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
