EP1 - Pilot

[@kabluey_louie1718]

Hearing your natural voice seems like I'm committing a crime😂

[@thedadbodveteran]

Guess you now know the secret! :)

[@ashleychristopher7793]

I thought his voice sounded weird too. It is not just you

[@MrSencere]

😂😂😂😂 I know right. Like who is this guy? 😂😂😂

[@raymondjurado9203]

It’s like listening to Ewan McGregor playing an American. My puppy brain cannot register the real accent.

[@lauracebula3222]

And seeing more than just a head on his shoulders!

[@white440demon]

It's nice to hear "normal" people just enjoy talking to one another. No agendas. No politics. No real topic. I think you'll be great at this.

[@deniseeggleston780]

I totally agree. It's refreshing

[@tersciarenfrow8323]

sitting down to a cup of coffee with a friend. awesome

[@Lucyfur2022]

❤

[@deftrick]

"To be honest with you, we don't know what the heck we're doing". Love it, already...

[@glennanderson5392]

I'm 60 and I absolutely love this! Congrats to show number 1!

[@thedadbodveteran]

Thank you!

[@jenniferparker916]

It really is weird to hear your actual voice but this is so awesome! 😄

[@MikeysLab]

Adam Savage gave a great piece of advice on meeting people when I inteviewed him and on his live streams. He talked about how exhausting it used to be after cons, meeting so many people that want something, if only an experience from you. He said that at one point he stopped fighting against it, just embraced it, and then it became a source of energy for him. He also mentioned that he has been given an awesome gift, the ability to make someones day, just by being nice. I have really embraced this when I am recognized in public, just been my nice, authentic, Canadian self :) I think you should do the same.

[@thatsmrtwattoyou]

GEN X here.....proud to have done tons of crazy shit on the farm growing up.Playing on machinery that could kill you a thousand different ways.Learning to drive a tractor before I was 10 , learning to shoot and hunt and fish my Father and Grandfather.How to do vehicle maintenance.How to be self reliant.Most of all....how to be a man. Love to all Gen X out there and by the way this podcast is only going one way.....up baby up. Best of luck and best wishes for future success. Love the show

[@nmk_marketing_llc]

Gen X'er here... I live in rural Northern Wisconsin and while my son is technically a Gen Z... I raised him to be an Alpha! He is hard working, rough and... ready.... independent 😆 LOVE this POD cast... Thank you! And my husband love his DBV hat!

[@thomasdains8353]

As someone born in 1957, who grew up as a military brat with the kind of feral childhood you enjoyed, you've got a Boomer as a subscriber!

[@larryboothby3687]

58, Veteran, dadbod. You are my people! Well done sir

[@flmoose1]

I've been near-sighted since high school and wear contacts. When I hit 45, I could no longer see up close while wearing them. My eye doc said I needed readers and I refused to believe that was possible. Now I wear readers often, but if I wear them too long, I at all when I take them off! Love the new show! Break a leg!

[@richardgirdlestone5995]

Keep these going mate. The format you have is good as you could talk about various generations. As I’m also a gen x and a British army veteran after 32 yrs of service, I relate to all what you talk about mate. Great podcast.

[@meyrrr007]

I subscribed the moment your intro video on us "GenX'ers" was done. Pure gold and stay rolling.

[@james4121]

From a British veteran who most definitely has a dad bod, excellent stuff your doing here, can't wait for the next installment 👍 PS. Your little Sis is 🔥🔥🔥

[@61Insane]

Give a fist bump when they recognize you! Love your stuff, from SC also in Columbia. I am 62 here and watch all your stuff. SODA.

[@jasoncurtis1569]

I grew up in New Mexico and Texas and I agree it seems all of us Gen X kids did grow up the same and now that you mention it, it is amazing that we grew up so similarly without the connection of internet.

[@tikiviktor]

KJ, the expression on your face when you said “I mean you, you were a lot of fun” says it all right there (big brother tormenting little sister) 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@yapper70]

This was great. I’m a Gen-x (1970) middle child. Amazed at times I’m still here 😂.

[@smitty1952]

Dadbod, your sister is very attractive! As a fellow Navy vet, 1969-1973, i would love to hear some of your Navy stories. We all have stories! it was neat hearing you mention some old DOS terms. This was great. Look forward to next episode

[@paulw5110]

Once you get the lighting fixed it will be better. Gen Xers use Coke when ordering any carbonated beverage. I'm one of those pushing 60 Gen Xers. I look forward to the next one

[@jorgschimmer8213]

I am pretty sure we both would be close friends pretty instantly. If I wouldn’t live about 8000 miles away. Thank you for sharing.

[@The530Ski]

From a vet with a dad bod, luscious beard and seemingly exact same relationship with my baby sister.... Well done, @thedadbodveteran!

[@BDrisco1982]

This is 100% amazing. It needs to be a weekly thing! BDV and KJ are fantastic.

[@user-yd5id7fn9q]

I love the pod cast, will continue to watch/listen! Love hearing your real voice and your stories. I too, am Gen X and proud of it. Keep up the good work, thanks!

[@LadyAspenHaven]

Husband and I are GenX and raising an Alpha. I absolutely agree with your assessment. She's much like us, but has an appreciative cheering section as parents.

[@Cowpunkridesaway]

Gen x here. My x is a millennial we have 2 alpha kids...it's a fun household

[@icefacade]

GenX raised Alphas for the win

[@jpcol1024]

Same here. We have three Alphas (GenX2)

[@charleshallock2793]

Loved the Podcast you and your sister. Brought back memories of my childhood times. Born in 1978 live mostly outside in the summer,Fall, and sometimes in winter grew up in Northeast and little bit in Southern Central Florida area in mid 1980’s from 1985-1989. Lived rest of my life in Western Massachusetts. Dadbod Vet also wanna say thank you Sir your service in US Navy. I am son of Veteran as well and some my family served in Military. For me I served as EMT for 6 years and 9 years as Emergency Medical Responder. I love your videos keep it up.

[@mikem6382]

Yes!!!!! It’s all Coke in the South! What kind of Coke? That’s a separate question.

[@lesm3652]

I was just explaining this exact thing to my nephew today he pointed out the price on something and I was like yeah same price as the coke he said that's dr pepper I was like no there all cokes then you ask what kind of coke do you want he looked at me like I was mad but I assured him this is how it is and I was proud to teach him a life lesson 😂

[@selightfritz642]

All three are right depending on the audience, Coke in the south, Pop in the Midwest, Soda everywhere else…. GenX and an elder millennial….close enough to get along, far enough apart to not get each other…… loved Episode 1 can’t wait for the sequel… What I want is a little history of your time in the Navy and KJ’s life between HS and Podcast, just to get a bit more frame of reference. Coming from a fellow Gen X Navy Vet with horizontal butt chins hiding under the beard rocking the dadbod beyond!

[@johnvandellen2759]

Most excellent work folks! Loving the dual perspectives from Gen X and Millenial. The way yall relate is adorable, I cant wait to see more! 👏👏👏

[@TheHarknessMonster]

Hello! Started catching your reels on Insta a few months back and love your videos. I'm a Gen X (born in 1970) and started showing your videos to my wife (born in 1972). You crack us up almost daily now. Watched and loved the podcast. Can't wait for the next one.

[@bombercountyblues]

Next time someone ask "hey aren't you that dude?".. you should use your in character voice to tell em "terribly sorry sir,, but you seem have confused me for someone else."..

[@rogerf7265]

I was born in 1965 so I'm just barely a Gen X but oddly enough I tend to get along better with younger people. I try to get along with everyone but if that isn't possible I have zero problems deleting people from my life.

[@remconoordermeer7015]

This was great, I know as a GenX’er you don’t care (but secretly do), but your podcast was highly entertaining! As others said, your normal voice is different -and not in a bad way, just… different. But it was great to hear you guys just chatting away… so the GenX Supreme Court can add an “aye” to the tally. Go team Dadbod!

[@thecapturban]

Miss Dadbod puttin the LAW down! Stopp.. ya gonna scare the millinial off😂

[@biggee1000]

Your voice is erm different. Lol brilliant, always wondered where that accent came from. Great vid.

[@brianherman3937]

Love listening to others who have lived through and survived the same times I did. And Kelly is not just attractive but has a sharp whit also.... you eem like a fun, great group of people. Keep up the pod casting!

[@stephenhawker9424]

This is great. I'm so glad you started it!

[@carmenhogan8879]

That’s what I thought!!! Your actual voice sounds great! You both have such beautiful eyes and personalities 🤗 Thank you for this. Keep up the great work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jocarson5310]

Here’s why we became “Helicopter Parents”: Adam Walsh and the media feeding frenzy following his abduction and horrific murder. From that day forward every single news segment included the disappearance of yet another child. Daily we were witnessing the horror and anguish of the parents in our living rooms and we were left with a feeling of hopelessness and desperation. It literally changed the way we raised our children. Kids went from carefree days playing outside with their friends to being shuffled to the local police department to have their fingerprints taken. I believe it was the most pivotal time in our nation. No other single event, in my memory, had such a sudden and profound impact on our families as the disappearance of Adam Walsh and his father John Walsh’s crusade to find his son. The Cold War also had an impact on us. Every day we were reminded, by the MSM and Hollywood, that our lives would inevitably be ripped apart by nuclear war and we were powerless to stop it. I remember standing over my children as they slept, my heart in my throat as I grappled with the fear of worrying about what would happen to my precious babies if a nuclear blast killed their father and I and they were left alive and alone. I know I wasn’t alone in dealing with this fear. The whole world was under the oppressive cloud of helplessness. It was suffocating. We took control of our children and we let fear be our guide.

[@chadalcock7275]

After starting in the Army, retiring from the Navy, and playing sports my whole childhood, I tell people it's not the age, it's the mileage.

[@loki100us]

My wife and I run a podcast out of Columbia SC. (Southern Fried Spooky) I think you guys nailed it. good banter but staying on topic! Well done. can't wait for more!

[@robertmartin349]

It’s great to have Kelly there!! I don’t know how long you’ve been married, but it’s great to see that you kept it in the family!! Great podcast. ❤

[@dalethoma51]

Great show. Will we ever meet BJ or Mrs. Dadbod? More outtakes, please.

[@du24pont70]

OMG!!!😂😂😂 21 minutes in and I already know this is gonna be a GREAT podcast.

[@blacksmithcowboy4725]

👍 cool podcast. So, now that I have gotten home from work and been able to sit in my easy chair and watch the whole podcast, it is very entertaining. I look forward to future podcasts, with you and your sister. Being firmly in the middle of the Gen X group, with children ranging from 29 down to 17, I've dealt with the millennials and the following generation. As well as this newest feral generation, with my granddaughters that are 6 & 4. With all that said, I can relate on so many of your videos. For your future podcasts, I'd like to hear you and your sister discuss the impacts that you saw growing up, like the end of the cold war, the challenger disaster, and other world events from our youth that are now in history books for these younger generations, and if the historians are getting it right or not. Look forward to seeing more from both of you.

[@creativevision8181]

Great Job for the Pilot... Keep up the Good Work!

[@ZackVanarsdale-ih9qx]

You guys are awesome!!! Please keep it up ! It's nice to here the stories when your growing up , being a GenX myself I can relate to alot of the short videos that you do . I have to say our Generation Rocks !! Keep it up with your podcasts so that we all can get to know you guys better .

[@stevehesselman]

47 year old Gen Xer here - big fan. My 9 year old son loves your short vids too; we watch them together when we need a laugh. :) Glad to see this podcast... good stuff! I totally relate to the eye stuff, too... the last 5 years or so, it feels like each year is trying to one-up the last on how much further the eyesight degrades.

[@Odinismyfather]

I'm 53 just love this keep it up.

[@matthewjenkins3663]

Love it so far! A couple of guest suggestions: - you and Slim Sherri together would be amazing. - a veteran's day episode with some of the other veteran (or currently serving) creators Keep doing what you're doing brother!

[@666ocory999]

This is so good...so natural and positiv. Being a gen x myself , I totally agree that our way is the smart way 😉 Keep up the good work . I can not wait EP2

Semper Fi, Devil Dog!

[@MrTwisted72]

I’m am also Gen X (1972) and we called PJ “Jungle Juice”. We put it in an empty 5 gallon water bottle 😂

[@dale7619]

Love the podcast! Down to earth and KJ is a smoke show!

[@jefffacemyer6707]

Super job guys! LOVE the banter and eerily familiar“growing up” stories. Your sister would be considered the best of the millennials (if there is such a thing 😏) known as an “Elder Millennial”. They are raised using the superior Gen-X methods, just not lucky enough to have earned the title. Love the podcast guys!

[@joedaveire]

According to my wife, it’s Coke. Always coke. Her favorite kinda coke is Dr Pepper. Awesome podcast guys, look forward to the next one!

[@mr_i.t]

Awesome pod cast, can’t wait to hear more, KJ definitely got the looks in the family 🤣

[@vjordan1709]

As a 66 Gen x dude. You've nailed our/my vibe. Mornings getting ready for skool😂 we used to play on the Magnavox console The Cars on repeat, or Frampton comes alive (do you feel like i do?) Go to school and then be tasked with chores and dinner before parents arrived. Ahhhh. The good old days. Then,when we were done, we could go down to the park and try to sling of anyone we didn't like off of the carousel with the useless handles ( because inertia is a bitch) and our only rule was whenever the streetlights came on we had to go home. Kinda sucks at didn't matter until 7:00 pm. 💯

[@buffaloditka]

This is definitely a fun way to get to know a different side of you and learn a bit more about you and your family. Keep it going!

[@dovah69_5]

As a Gen-x. In Texas during the 80's, all soda was called "Coke". Then you told them what kind of "Coke" you wanted. Dr. Pepper was the most popular. Especially in Dallas. The bottling company was on Greenville Ave & Lovers Ln.

[@bordenvincent]

Great pilot. In future podcasts it would be great to hear some of your other voices characters

[@chriswayne3513]

I know I have to follow you. It doesn't change the world, but it helps my mental health.

[@johnrmars]

As a barely millennial (1981). I totally feel the putting on the readers

[@darrellfrazier8785]

Not bad. Not bad at all! I think yall ought to keep going!

[@SuperJoe0001]

First time listener but iv seen tiktok random stuff. Iv thumbs up everything iv seen. All honesty im only at 4:12 into it yet and I'll come back if there's anything else. Not criticism just creative criticism, a filter on the camera or tint the windows to control the daylight. Find a happy medium of talking to each other and talking to us and more deco but the location is great. just twick it. The non dungeon podcast location us awesome. The whole process is a learning experience to fine tuning it but have fun please!

[@terrillroot9994]

I have to agree with one of your commenter, hearing your normal voice almost seems criminal! LOLOL! Love your vids, I’m one of those poor souls who is a mix of baby boomer and gen X, being born in 1963 to my 15 year old mother who was an actual baby boomer, I was raised “feral” like all gen Xers.we are the FA&FO crew. We aren’t afraid to use our hands! I watch your vids everyday and very much enjoy them. My daughter is millennial but my son is gen z, my lovely wife convinced me to have our son rather late in my life ( she is 10 years younger than me) It amazes me how different the 2 are! As a disabled vet my son NEVER forgets my birthday or Father’s Day, my daughter has to be “ reminded “ on both! My son values my opinion, my daughter thinks I’m too old to “ get it “ I love them both with all my heart can give. My wife wanted one of each, boy and girl but what a difference! Of course I can’t seem to get either to read an actual book and my son thinks I don’t know what a computer is! LOLOL, but both when I was raising them ( still am for my son, he’s 17 now ) Know that ole Dad isn’t afraid to swat that ole Fanny when they misbehaved. Unfortunately my grand daughter is a holy terror because telling a 2 year old whose blatantly misbehaving to stop just isn’t working. She hasn’t figured out that you don’t actually need to use the rod to get her to behave! She’s amazed that all pop pop has to do is tell her I’m gonna put a foot to her ass and that it, miraculously it works. For millennials it seems like magic! What actually happens is I will make one of her favorite toy “ disappear “ until she behaves. You are absolutely correct in that without a internet enabled cell or computer they magically lose all ability to function. If you really want to have some fun, cut all wi-fi, get a rotary phone and hide their” contact list “ a black and white tv with only 3 channels plus the channel with Sesame Street. They will absolutely just lose their minds! And when they inevitably complain, toss them a Lord of the Rings BOOK! The reaction is going to be epic! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@NOLAgenX]

This is great! 5 minutes in and I’m already entertained and hooked!

[@poppyleon_6275]

Gen X girl here. I have to speak out on the "OG boy bands" comment. Wayyy before NKOTB or InSync it was the Osmonds and the Jackson 5! 💕💕🤩😍

[@vexistentialist]

I watch a lot of podcasts, and this is now one of them. That may not sound like the highest of praise, but I'm very picky, so it's not nothing. Great stuff from you folks, and I appreciate you doing it. Keep it up.

[@fuzz3711]

Loved the podcast pilot! Best part was hearing of the Thanksgiving plans with the sailors coming to the house. We will be at Great Lakes for our son’s PIR the day before. So happy we will be able to spend thanksgiving with him before he goes to A school.

[@audras2143]

Voice was a shock but still works because you both are entertaining. Makes me think of talking to my own brothers, one a millennial! 😂 look forward to more podcasts!

[@robertbuckner4062]

Dadbod Vet and KJ you two were amazing. I loved every minute of it. I am 52 and a hard core Gen X'r. Keep the podcast coming. Not sure if I will survive the two week wait. But the dadbod videos in between will do just fine and dandy I wreckon.

[@shawnclifford362]

Thanks for your service. Great show. Kelly is a fine young lady. Wish both of you and yours the best. Till next time. Slan ☘️

[@fireeyedelle]

This one goes “to the comments!” for Kelly’s sake. 😂😘

[@Iknownuttn31]

Well done Sir!!! Love everything you do

[@MikesClassicPinball]

I'm absolutely loving this. You guys are great. I'm a gen Xer and been a fan of the DBV for a good while. Thank you so much. keep it up.

[@lauracebula3222]

I’m loving this. Especially the sibling growing up stories stuff. (I’m an only and missed out on all that.)

[@jofrazier-hansen4097]

I'm 62 but was raised as a gen X. Honestly, glad that there was no internet back then cuz I did so much stupid stuff and had a ton of fun.

[@MrSencere]

Working in the Mental Health Field...i always roll my eyes when i hear about Anti-depressants that "may increase suicidality". Le Siiiiigh...😂😂😂

[@dark_wolf1092]

I have taken 4 different anti-anxiety/anti-depressant meds and every one of them has the warning that it may increase the risk of suicidal urges.

[@MrSencere]

@dark_wolf1092 And that is Absolutely Ridiculous to me!!! I am like..."C'mon!!! I am already dealing with depression and/or anxiety, but I'm not suicidal. However, you want me to take something that could increase the risk of suicide!?! Seriously!?! Nope...I'll just manage the depression and anxiety without the suicide. Thank You very much!!" These are definitely concerns I encourage clients to discuss with their psychiatrists.

[@beckyworkman9863]

Ohhh my goodness!! AWESOME!!!! Love it. Especially the title

[@tony66au]

As an Aussie, Dad of 8 ..... I have a theory on Gen Alpha. :-) They are smarter than their millennial parents and hold a perspective not unlike Gen X'ers and with this view they see their parents (Good or not so good) for their flaws and peculiarities while viewing older Gen X members of their extended families as a better or more fun example in life and this view leads them to follow in a more Gen X manner and hold more conservative and libertarian views. I feel that by setting an awesome example Gen X has exacted the revenge on their kids through their GrandKids :-) That said? My teen daugher is a Boomer......... Man its rough with the last kid.

[@brianazmy3156]

Excellent job guys. I learned of the podcast from Facebook just this evening. From what I remember pre-internet was the "BULLETIN BOARD" where you could log onto for posting/responding to messages/posts. Some had games. Being that you guys are from Ohio, I was curious as to why you picked Charleston to settle in. I am from there. Born on the naval base when the hospital was actually on the base in 62. Lived in Summerville for years after dad retired mid 70's. Again, great show and eagerly waiting for the next. Also thanks to Mrs D.B.V. & Mr B.J.

[@danrux6282]

We should ALL be like Keanu! It is fun, podcasts seem kinda hard to get going. If you make them they will come

[@thedadbodveteran]

Thanks! I know this one is a bit rough, but we learned a lot. More coming soon!

[@michellekirkley7332]

It's coke, they are all Cokes, and I'd like a root beer, thank you! --2 genx with 3 gen z kids

[@leprakon1976]

Last year I attended the 25 year reunion of CVN75 HST RX (plankowners and 1st deployment veterans). Awesome that your son is now serving on the “Give em’ Hell” HST.

[@observationistdave]

But wait! The accent... 😂

[@Playitagaindian]

When people recognize you, give them a response in “the voice.” Fist bump at most.

[@marienygard1173]

Dadbod Veteran skin for Call of Duty *must* have the reading glasses! 😂

[@hossxian]

I just found this podcast and I've never been so excited to binge anything so badly. I never even listen to podcasts but I'm all in on this one.

[@3eees]

Wait a minute. So you’re really not originally from Medieval Times?!🤯

[@cynner950]

Years ago, Keanu's band, "Dogstar," played at the Whisky-a-Go Go. As he made his way through the crowd, I was making my way through the crowd, and when I got close, I turned to, let's be honest, press my boobs against him. It was great. My heart did flip-flops. He wasn't married at the time. I'd been crushing on him since I was 16, and I was about 22 at the time, so I'd been fostering that fanaticism for awhile. But that was it. It seems pretty respectful, viewing it through today's lens.

[@dex0u812]

@thedadbodveteran you being the middle child explains a lot about you :)

[@danielwilson3067]

Love listening to the two of you chatting like we're not listening. So relaxed and natural. Its great.

[@rachelmcdonald5126]

This is an imposter, y'all. Dont believe him! 😂

[@ciaramikics9284]

It's soda... Coke is a brand name. And it is truly refreshing to hear your real voice! Rock on.

[@FlBear]

Aww man, the TikTok accent is not real. 😢 (only joking)

[@crispendaysh3401]

I enjoyed your podcast, be good to hear your second one. When I 1st saw your videos before hearing your natural voice I thought u were Irish. Which is cool. It’s good your American. Your sister seems nice to. I’m so glad I’m a Gen X.

[@petecarvo9284]

Hell, yeah! Do it! The gagging in response to your sister was hilarious.

[@gunnerike]

As soon as you said “Deck Department” I knew how that would go

[@kaneofmars]

That brief mention of The Icehouse brought back so many memories!!! Loving the podcast, can’t wait to hear more!

[@berserkerleatherwork]

Every two weeks is a crime. This needs to be weekly.
