World's Best Dad
THE WORLD'S BEST DAD PODCAST Christian Jacobs and Jimmy Arrighi have known each other since they were kids - just young, wide-eyed skater punks in Southern California's Orange County pulling pranks and raising all heck. Christian went on to create the legendary kids' TV show Yo Gabba Gabba! and Jimmy helped found one of the world's premiere surf clothing companies, RVCA. These days they're tending to little punks of their own, but how can you raise kids when you still feel like one yourself?? On World's Best Dad, Christian and Jimmy dive into fatherhood, the struggles of trying to be a "cool dad" and the joys that come with making miniature copies of yourself. They'll chat it up with famous dads and parents to work out some feelings, reminisce and craft a hefty helping of eye-rolling dad jokes. Join them each week in their mobile podcast studio - a school-bus-turned-dad-cave filled to the brim with the guys' vintage toy and skateboard collection! You never know who'll hop on the bus!
