Episode 41: Dad vs. Dance Recital: The Ultimate Mismatch

This week on Broke Ass Dads, Jordan and Scott dive into the full-blown mayhem that happens when one half of the parental unit skips town — leaving the other to run the household. Scott shares his hour-by-hour meltdown as he tries to juggle cheer practice, a birthday party, a dance recital, and the elusive “purple costume bag”… all while desperately trying to make it downtown for the Michigan vs. Northwestern game at Wrigley.

From wrong directions, chaotic timelines, and a shockingly competent 6-year-old daughter, to Jordan’s tales of missing keys, freezer mysteries, and accidental wallet-less adventures… this episode is peak dad comedy.

Plus:
• Why dads should never be responsible for costume logistics
• Why Apple Wallet might destroy families
• Why every recital should come with a jail-time voucher for exhausted dads
• And the legendary story of stealing a wedding centerpiece to save a marriage (kind of)

A chaotic, hilarious, painfully relatable episode for every parent who’s ever tried — and failed — to pretend they’re in control of the weekend.
