Episode 45: Butter Knives, Bowl Games, and Broke Ass Holidays

The dads are back… briefly. In this holiday hiatus episode of Broke Ass Dads, Jordan and Scott cover everything from one of the wildest coaching implosions in college football history to Indiana’s shocking rise as a legit football powerhouse. From butter knives and scandals at Michigan to the subjectivity of the Heisman Trophy, the guys break down why some programs crumble while others finally have their moment.

They also dive headfirst into the chaos of December dad life: holiday parties, work deadlines, freezing football games, gift overload, spoiled kids, discipline vs. “fun parent” debates, and why modern parenting feels like financial death by a thousand Amazon packages. Add in cold weather misery, haircut planning, holiday travel, and a candid announcement of the show’s first real break, and you’ve got a classic Broke Ass Dads episode—equal parts sports, sarcasm, and survival.

The dads sign off with gratitude, laughs, and a well-earned holiday hiatus before coming back strong in the new year.
