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.

[@littlelucky9879]

Seeing Heidi reenact the children is a new type of hilarious lol

[@toricole7212]

Right?! I want to see more of that. They are such a fun duo.

[@mangot589]

The scarf😆, I have a granddaughter that does stuff like that, she’s a perpetual motion machine. In her Princess dress lol

[@maryedwards543]

I clicked for this very reason!

[@katiesweeney3644]

Came here to say exactly the same thing lol 😂

[@Mama_Bear524]

@@mangot589 motion machine 😂😂😂

[@rbldiver9906]

Fun seeing Heidi join the giggling kid crew!

[@DudeDad]

She plays a good Juno haha

[@sime2003]

Heidi is adorable as Juno.

[@VioletJoy]

@@DudeDad I was literally picturing Juno so easily.

[@demris15]

I don’t know what’s better… the utter accuracy of this or seeing Heidi get in on the action!!

[@maryj7423]

YES!!!!

[@mariagoff1615]

As a homeschool mom, this is literal every day life for me. It is CRAZY accurate, and like them at the end of the day, we know through the exhaustion the we wouldn't have it any other way. 🥰

[@Mama_Bear524]

Whenever I’ve gotten annoyed even on the most stressful days, looking at them sleeping I forget why I was so mad and felt bad.

[@bygraceonly182]

Yes! This is my every day homeschooling.

[@DudeDad]

Homeschool parents are saints! Probably need to do a video about you all :)

[@frogleymom]

This was my exact thought...no wonder we never have granola bars in the pantry! 🤣

[@DLeighWifey]

@@DudeDad See what you need to understand is that for us, it's not as hard as that. I'm a homeschool mom of 5. And I'm not any more saintly than Heidi. But my kid's noise and activity level are my everyday normal, not a bombshell one week a school year. I guess I'm acclimated to it! But also my KIDS are used to being home all the time. The rules and expectations are THEIR everyday normal, so the testing of the rules is not quite as frequent, and being home all week isn't a special occasion meriting extra mischief. So having my kids home 24/7 is NOT like your spring break, all year long. It really is easier.

[@MaineGirlOutdoors]

Teared up at the ending. Lots of time being a parent is so hard. But it's so worth it. ❤️

[@camipockets]

Me too. I'm 20 weeks pregnant with number two and that totally made me cry. 😅

[@tamaralikecamera]

Me too! My kids 3 kids are same ages as theo Juno and Otto and I so relate to struggle and then the awe moment.

[@DudeDad]

Right?! It goes both ways for sure.

[@naebang2013]

Yes, the ending made me cry too.

[@thebestestoneever]

'Juno's' look of glee through the doorway when 'Theo' hurt his knee, brought back so many memories from my childhood with my older brother, lol

[@Mama_Bear524]

Right?! Same 😂

[@gypsybelle4757]

“Holy Spirit, activate!” is my new favorite line! 😂😂

[@jonathanwightman]

dude, preach it brother. 5 kids here, yet I can envision the day this chaos departs my life and I know I'll miss it dearly. We are blessed.

[@teresaf4615]

Same here! Some days are hard to enjoy, but time flies by! Trying to be more joyfully present 🙂

[@millennialmadness5138]

4 kids here. Life is just crazy

[@UTMomof4]

Five here, too! I'm really looking forward to Monday!

[@hanC21317]

Dang, 5! You go mom & dad 👏🏼💪🏼 we have 3 boys aged 5 and under. Outings are a calamity. When I take them out in public, people always give me ‘the look’ and a slip a “You’ve got your hands full” comment in… I’m sure your wife gets doubly unpleasant treatment from strangers. 😂 I’m always tempted to say back “Yes my hands are full, if you’d like to lend me one of yours I’d be greatful. Here’s my grocery list.” Lol

[@jonathanwightman]

@@hanC21317 LOL, yes we make a spectacle of ourselves everywhere we go. We are for sure done at 5, my poor wife's body probably couldn't handle another, she's already given so much...all you mom's are incredible. We fly all the time, no family lives near us, and that is a real spectacle. People wearing masks and sanitizing every single surface in the plane while we notice our 3yr old licking a seat, our baby eating puffs off the floor, our 3 oldest jumping over each other to get to the window seat first....we look at each other and shrug our shoulders as if to say "could be worse"...good times

[@vparker3601]

"Holy Spirit activate!" LMAO.

[@MoogieB]

I thought I heard that!!

[@Krista_Rose7]

Best line ever!

[@ShelleyFayles]

[@justjenn1345]

I love Heidi’s face in the balloon 🎈 She’s adorable.

[@ambramarrs7325]

Loving that Heidi got in on this one as one of the kids ! LOL 😂

[@heidiperez1387]

Hysterical!!🤣 I thought I was the only one with a boy, that thinks he's going to die whenever he sees blood, glad I'm not alone! Good luck with Spring Break!! My boys are now 31, 30 and 26. The years that your all in, is the hardest and the BEST! Enjoy them, you will be rewarded with grandchildren someday, that you get to send back home!😉😆

[@maryrichardson1318]

All the YES! My 3 kids are 39, 35 and 35. I have 4 grandchildren, 2 girls aged 15 and 14 and two boys, aged 6 and almost 4. Just finished spring break here. I thought my daughter was going to lose it before it was over. We were a military family and I was almost always alone with the kids on spring break, since the Army thought it would be a good idea to plan some kind of field training exercise during the "first week of good weather".

[@jorgecaraballo1771]

This is completely spot on accurate! I'm a father of 5 (14,9,7,5,2 yr old) The kids eating the box of granola bars, wet foot prints all over the house, and the kicking on the couch, had my wife and I in complete shock that the experience was captured on camera!! This was so good.🤣👍

[@orangerose5480]

100% accurate! Can't wait for summer...Lol.

[@DudeDad]

* signs kids up for little league and dance....*

[@b.j.s.5090]

I literally just grounded the kids from the couch because of this EXACT scene! 🤣🤣 I about died watching this.

[@johannaholmgren8088]

Yup. My grandkids were over yesterday and although the sofa is actually long enough for each of them to lay down and NOT touch, of course that's not what they did. I immediately flashed back to my sister and I have kick fights on the couch, and MY grandmother coming over an wallopping my sister in the face with a book. Man.

[@ChristianDogLover]

I know a bunch of people have already said this, but it's so fun to see Heidi getting more involved in the nonsense. You guys are so fun to watch.

[@PrepperPrincess]

Heidi with the balloon on her face was hilarious

[@nataliearnold2275]

Great video! "Why is my picture in the trash?" And " Dad I can't hear you!" With the TV on full blast. 😂 So accurate with kids. Absolutely love it. Comic relief and knowing everyone goes through it. Priceless

[@narlycharley]

"I'm gonna die!" so much truth with that one.

[@Tindome-ib6el]

This is so spot on. Let me say as a mum of teenagers: I can't wait for your teenager clips😅😅

[@abbeywilliams925]

Hey.... (I'm 15)

[@JennyG.COW5]

Holy Spirit Activate! Love this line! 😁👍❤️ This sketch is Hilariously Awesome! 😎👍

[@trying3841]

That made me bust out laughing lol

[@ambersimerly1803]

I literally teared up right as Heidi stopped with the drawings over the garbage can. Knew where THAT was going. Straight to my freaking mommy heart~♡

[@KlayJones]

Everything about this is so true!! 😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

[@DudeDad]

We miss any craziness!?

[@KlayJones]

@@DudeDad We are day two into spring break right now with 5 kids and we have literally had water all over the house, playing with my tools, sneaking all the food, fighting over the couch, fighting over music, listening to Bruno, getting EVERYTHING out, not putting it away. I WFH and the house is half remodeled, so it's absolutely nuts. You NAILED it! I asked my wife and said ask me at the end of the week and she'll have a few new things to add to the list of craziness.

[@jennas_nails]

Lmao thinking "oh they won't miss this artwork and they won't find it in the trash. I'm sure there will be trash on top of it soon enough", then they find it lol...so accurate! Great video!!

[@sarah-phillips]

Yep. Our three are two years apart and this made the early elementary/preschool days just come SCREAMING back. The oldest is now in high school but we still see variations of all this. But now they do more chores. So, balance.

[@VioletJoy]

I had to keep sorting the characters out in my mind because Taylor and Heidi played both themselves and their kids. lol. This is one of the funniest, most accurate videos you guys have ever done. 10/10 😂😂😂

[@tinamench4255]

I remember a friend on my fb page said you only have 18 summers with your kids ...thats if you count since they are babies. Enjoy love this video 😀

[@DudeDad]

Good way of looking at it!

[@cametochangemyusername-can1295]

😢😢😢❤

[@naturalliash]

"Holy Spirit activate". 🤣

[@katrinaskidmore9443]

YEEESSSSS!!!!!! Sibling interactions! It's so great! I actually started having PTSD when they fought over the couch. "How about you both stop!!!!!!!" Not a question So accurate 👏👏👏 Loved it

[@Johneekay]

I have 6 kids. They are all grown now but, this cracks me up !!! Soooo ACURATE !!!! lol

[@hanC21317]

The helmet indoors is so accurate. 😂😂😂 this is my life!!! I am a stay-at-home mom of 3 boys, none of which are school age yet. They’re home with me 24/7. Our life is this level of chaos all year round lmao. I loved this video!

[@daniellehanson3137]

Yup. Every day of my life as a homeschool mom of 4..... never a dull moment.

[@ryanc8188]

Way to get in on the craziness Heidi 👍🤣

[@DudeDad]

she knows it all too well...

[@JacquelyneMontague]

Heidi!!! I love you!!!! You two make a great duo. This is so relatable and I’m sharing it with everyone I know with children. “Close the doooooooor” I wish I had a dollar for every time I have had to say this 😂

[@trevorhosman8723]

Can't wait to see the bloopers!

[@Eric_B1983]

1:42 I love the sign in background. One of my favorite Bible verses.

[@ck337]

Hilarious and so very relatable! We have 6 sons (and homeschool) and one of them in particular is very dramatic when it comes to getting slightly or injured so that part really got me! 😂 And how much they try to avoid going outside and the slumped shoulders when walking towards the door...also super relatable. 👌😂They’re such a blessing though...even with all the messes and crazy. It’s the biggest blessing being parents! 🥰

[@stevymel84]

They pull you in because it’s so funny and then they hit you in the feels at the end. One of my favorite videos so far.

[@lordnubbs6684]

At least there wasn’t a battery in the chainsaw 😂😂😂

[@heatherz4572]

I laughed so much. Heidi you looked adorable

[@joobie_x]

I love seeing Heidi playing up.

[@michaelsmith1481]

I lost it when he come running in with a cardboard box saying I’m gonna make this into an Aquarium

[@jmacjr101]

Heidi is such a cutey! I love these two!

[@stephensmith3184]

Love and heart break in it's best package!!!!

[@brittanyb.300]

Definitely added a splash of happy in my day. Thank you Taylor and Heidi!

[@AdventuresinEverydayCooking]

OMGosh.... Heidi NAILED Juno LOL

[@mamaBadger0712]

Haha! Heidi as Juno was the best!! Great video as always

[@AngelVids7]

I don’t have kids but this is exactly what my nieces and nephews are like 😂

[@meejoohwang8494]

Same! I got 3 nieces and one nephew and when it comes to play time they do NOT mess around.

[@nataliegerdano6028]

Same I have 2 nephews and one niece though the other nephews is still a baby. But the other two keep me on my toes pretty well and am not even there mother lol. There are times I feel like I see them more then my sister dose!😂🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

[@beaniebabeeluver]

Thanks for brightening my day! I love when Heidi and Taylor reenact the kids. The ending was so heartwarming.

[@kristinanoall]

You guys are so talented at conveying this stuff just right. I love that you ended it on the sweet note that makes it all worth it! Thanks for the positive along with the struggles! (And, oh my gosh, the couch scene… 💯)

[@kristygrossman9659]

The "get the Halloween decorations out of the attic" I was laughing to the point of tears! If you get it, you get it! Well played Dude Dad!

[@ecv03]

That is a great ending. God Bless you guys.

[@luminyam6145]

I laughed and cried at the end. So sweet. I love you guys🥰

[@samanthashirley206]

As a homeschool mom, 🤣. 4 kids age 6 and under, just another day in the life.😅

[@hanC21317]

Go girl. 💪🏼 I’ve got 3 aged 5 and under. I think one more would send me to an early grave LOL. But then again.. those newborn clothes in my garage are just sitting there taunting me. 😭🫣 #ifyouknowyouknow

[@stacybroussard3097]

Hahaha, SO TRUE😂🤣😂 GLAD YOU TWO SURVIVED 🙏♥️🙏♥️

[@sharingchabadinspiration]

I'm wondering how it felt to be kids again? Especially for heidi? Loved this! I personally miss the feeling of being carefree of mental health comparing when entering the real world. So much of normality and naitivy that the world is so peaceful and fun during those years...

[@Alexyyyy123]

You both are such a lovely parents ...God bless guyss..♥️

[@hollimuniz1980]

I love the part where they put picture on the frige at the end

[@DudeDad]

Tear jerker

[@hollimuniz1980]

@@DudeDad for sure

[@TheLowsey]

Can't wait to see kids reaction to these when they get older lol

[@lapislazarus8899]

I think this is definitely in my top 3 (I'm unable to pick a favorite). Just watching Taylor and Heidi act like their kids is simultaneously hilarious and heart-warming.

[@Meriphistimo]

Absolutely brilliant! Still laughing at you two being your kids! 😂

[@JustMyOpinion_1]

You two are absolutely hilarious together! Love you both ❤️

[@nikkyfell1473]

Were you guys spying on how spring break went at our house?!? 100% of the scenarios happened at my house these past two weeks of spring break. 😂😂😂

[@bilkat5767]

I LOVE the freaking vids that Heidi is in. She's so funny, not even trying.

[@tinamench4255]

Lol this was great!!!! Lol love seeing Hedi joining you and acting like your kids 🤣 then the neighbors kids Lol 😆 best wishes on Easter Break...just think you only have maybe 7 left ? Depending on thier ages

[@nikkibailey6583]

This is laugh out loud funny!! These parents know kids!

[@lynnessastruble6387]

Oh man, so spot on. I laughed so hard and then cried at the end. Truth.

[@annabeckman4386]

SERIOUSLY the "close the door" is on point!!!

[@CAHM_1]

That "slap" took me over the top...hahaha...and she gets away with it!!YES!

[@kristimeyers2221]

This is one of my all time favorite Dude Dad videos!

[@hazeleyes2115]

Great video, just literally our kids every day 😁 Had an awful morning, but laughed so hard watching this, thank you

[@jessicakaul]

Haha...I drove my 5 and 3 yr old from Minnesota to Tulsa for Spring Break this year. Children's Museum, awesome parks, zoo, "oreo cows," extended family and comparatively tropical weather. A+ trip in my book.

[@davinohms5178]

Love this!!! Good seeing Heidi in a new character besides herself or Taylor. :)

[@maryloumenning3487]

Holy Spirit - Activate! LOL!!!!!!! Right on!

I hope you two don’t mind if I totally steal “Holy Spirit, activate!”. And the ending was really sweet♥️

[@DudeDad]

Don't say that...

[@hannahstewart9898]

The eating snacks when I'm making a meal! And the crying bloody murder when they get a little injury. This reminded me to have a better perspective. Thank you!

I have no words. Fantastic as always. And SO SPOT ON! I am so glad mine are older now. At 13 and 15, I basically didn't even SEE them during spring break. lol

[@shannons9497]

[@lisah7369]

i litteraly cried at the end im so happy for you guys

[@brmm48]

One word came to me at the end…LOVE! what u do is awesome… what a blessing. God is pleased for sure… i suffer every day from parents who were too abused to handle it…. I almost wished you were my parents when i was a kid watching this, for real, but i know my life and grace are in God, but I am trying to tell you , i understand what kind of potential i would have had had if i had the kind of freedom and love you give… ya, u get frustrated, but that is tolerable for a child bc u still emanate love in your frustration and graceful restraint…. they feel like their home is safe and free and they will feel that they are safe in this world and in their own skins bc of the environment u struggle to provide… but you already know that:)… watching your vids is often the only time i laugh in a day..thanks so much for that ( the other channels i watch have mixed their content with too much cynical/heavier or crude stuff I’m too sensitive for which leaves me sad… ) you are blessed..I know you love God very much and your gratitude to God shows…and i pray for you both. Peace and blessings Heidi and Tyler… When it feels like too much, absorb the innocence there in your families eyes and be restored by that little piece of heaven you have fought with blood and tears to preserve.
