Welcome to another chaotic, hilarious, and slightly sleep-deprived episode of Two Dads in Tech! This week, Troy Munson and Daniel Berk are back at it again—armed with dad jokes, hot takes on AI, and an in-depth analysis of just how many times you can wear pants before washing them. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.)

Here’s What’s Cookin’ in This Episode:

• Burritos & Regret: Troy starts the episode stuffed with what was probably a 1,300-calorie burrito and on the verge of needing a mid-podcast nap. Daniel, meanwhile, reflects on his personal tortilla-to-chip ratio crisis. If you’ve ever overeaten at a Mexican restaurant (aka every time you’ve gone to one), this segment is for you.
• Dad Life Diaries: The duo tackles the great parenting debate—who changes diapers in public, and why do men’s restrooms still not have changing tables? Also, why do toddlers act like they drank three energy drinks the second you step outside the house?
• AI Smackdown: DeepSeek vs. ChatGPT: Is OpenAI in trouble? Did a Chinese startup really build a ChatGPT competitor for $6 million? Is this all just an elaborate scheme to make us even more confused about what AI tool to use? Troy and Daniel break down the buzz, throw in a few conspiracy theories, and ultimately decide that as long as AI keeps serving them better ads for hats, they’re good.
• Data Privacy? Meh. The dads dive into the real question: Should we actually care if China has our data? Troy and Daniel make a compelling argument for “Please, just show me better targeted ads so I don’t have to Google things.”
• The Great Clothing Debate: How many times can you wear jeans without washing them? Is there a correct number of days joggers should be worn before they enter the laundry cycle? More importantly, why do we all have that one pile of “not dirty but not clean” clothes sitting somewhere in our house?
• Would You Sell Your LinkedIn Account? Troy and Daniel tackle the million-dollar (or maybe seven-million-dollar) question—how much would someone have to pay you to delete your LinkedIn account forever? The answer? Depends on if the check clears.
• Cold Outreach Strategy: Troy breaks down his aggressive, multi-channel, no-automation-needed outbound approach to getting meetings, including why you should always call someone right after they accept your LinkedIn request.
• The Email Client That Changed Everything: Superhuman sponsors this episode, and Daniel and Troy reveal how switching to this lightning-fast email client transformed their inbox game. (Spoiler: Troy originally hated it. Now, he’s a diehard fan.)
• The Ultimate Life Goal: What’s the dream? For Daniel, it’s a mix of running, taking care of his family, and achieving financial freedom. For Troy, it’s never reporting to anyone ever again—preferably while sipping a frozen drink on a beach. Both agree that 10 years ago, they’d never have imagined they’d be where they are today.
• Beach vs. Mountains: The classic debate. Also, if you haven’t considered Curaçao for your next trip, Troy has some convincing reasons why it’s a hidden gem.
• Closing Thoughts: Want to sponsor the pod? Hit up Daniel at daniel@twodadsintech.com. Want more dad jokes, spicy takes, and high-quality nonsense? Subscribe, follow, and share with a fellow dad who needs a laugh.

If you like your tech talk served with a side of absurd humor, dad relatability, and the occasional existential crisis about AI, this is the episode for you.
