About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 3 kids and over 300+ videos. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.
In addition to Dude Dad©, I have been in numerous TV shows, commercials, and have regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I will also be hosting my own TV show called "Super Dad" on the new Magnolia Network / Discovery+. Heidi and the kids will also be a part of the show. I am originally from the rural community of Howard, South Dakota.

3:27 “I pay the mortgage and this is where I sleep” is the best and most literal description of fatherhood.

[@ccskiandrun]

Best line hands down.

[@kj7792]

The man cave makes up for it though😎

[@kathleenkirchoff9223]

Same for moms but I can see the pay off in my 3 grown kids. It's a short season of infants and toddlers. Then you worry when they are off on their own before you know it.

"I pay the mortgage and this is where I sleep" - That one hit waaaay too hard.

[@Bethmarie44]

Same. I don’t even know what the middle of our bed feels like. Just my sweet little 6 inch strip on the edge 👍🏼

[@andrewjankowski9650]

I’m a big guy - 250 lbs in about 12” of mattress every night for how many years... I haven’t slept well in I don’t know when. I gladly trade the neck pain that comes with falling sleep sitting on the couch for the extra space it provides me.

[@brucekentnyc]

That is a very nice looking normal person home.

[@Gamecrazy500]

From the day my brother and I came home from the hospital mom and dad’s bed was completely off limits and before the age of 1 we were moved to sleeping in our own room. Never slept one night in their bed.

[@humantacos9800]

My wife and kids fall asleep on couches. I’m the only one who goes to bed in an actual bed anymore. Queen size all for me.

Jokes aside, you have a very beautifully renovated home. You and your wife should be very proud :)

[@blair2378]

Your realistic take on parenting is pretty slick! This is 100% my housekeeping style with my 2-year-old. And surprising my partner with unexpected guests when he's not decent. Thanks for normalizing Real Life. All those perfect photos on Instagram are like a disease. You guys rock!

Thank you guys, this is absolutely hysterical. "Never hire someone to do a job you can do yourself...in quadruple the amount of time" my list of projects only keeps getting bigger because there aren't enough hours in the day. By the way my four-kids age range from 16 to 10 and I still cannot find the remote controls; it doesn't change no matter how old they get. Haha.
