Grown Ass Dads Podcast

Being a dad is tough. Being a grown-ass dad? That’s a whole different beast.

Welcome to Grown Ass Dads—the podcast where three mid-life dads keep it real about fatherhood, family, careers, and surviving mid-life—all with a side of whiskey, sarcasm, and some good old-fashioned belly laughs.

Hosted by Adam, Jay, and Jason, we dive into the everyday chaos of being a dad in today’s world—whether it’s wrangling kids who won’t put down their screens, dealing with tech we barely understand, surviving youth sports insanity, or just figuring out how to not completely screw up our kids.

We tackle topics like:

 🔥 Parenting in the digital age—and why our kids are convinced we’re ancient.
💪 Navigating mid-life struggles—because nobody gave us a manual.
🤯 Balancing work, family, and sanity—and occasionally losing all three.
😂 The hilarious disasters of dad life—from bourbon-fueled decisions to questionable leadership skills.
🧠 Mental health and masculinity—because sometimes even grown-ass dads need to be vulnerable.

Expect real talk, honest stories, and the occasional conspiracy theory. Whether you’re a dad, a partner, or just a fan of hilarious and unfiltered conversations, we’re here to remind you that you’re not alone—and that it’s okay to laugh at the struggle.

So grab a drink (or two), hit that subscribe button, and join us as we navigate fatherhood, friendship, and finding purpose when life gets complicated.

Adam Bundren

Adam Bundren

The “young pup” of the group and host with the most.  Happily married and father to two awesome boys, 8 years old and 12 years old.

Always one for hearing and sharing a good story that is sure to entertain and keep you wanting to know more. Almost no topics are off limits as long as it helps someone else and of course if its entertaining.

You can catch him on the radio here in St. Louis educating the masses on all things Real Estate, and podcast platforms everywhere for your enjoyment!

Jay Huelsing

Still dreaming of finding a loop-hole in the process of aging, Jay continues to attempt playing every sport at the same level he did as a kid resulting in a non-stop series of nagging injuries.

Newly divorced, Jay is settling into his new life and searching to understand the new normal, all while raising a 9 year old and a 12 year old in this crazy world.

Never short on great stories and full of life experiences to share.  Jay promises to bring some entertainment even if its all spelled wrong.

Jason Byrne

Jason Byrne

Devoted husband and father to three boys, twin 16-year-olds and a 12-year old.

Sports lover who once worked in Fortune 100 but is now a serial entrepreneur looking to make his mark on the world in the most meaningful way he can.

As an “outspoken introvert”, Jason can often be misunderstood for his anxiety and often times paralyzing fear of disappointing others.  An advocate for imposter syndrome, he looks forward to shedding light on topics some may find uncomfortable yet also comfortably familiar.

As the resident “tech guy” you can blame him for any issues with sound, lighting, or life in general.  He’ll be happy to hear from you!
