They explore the pressure to always be productive, the value of complementary roles in marriage, embracing discomfort for growth, and why true fulfillment beats fleeting happiness in a consumer-driven world. Plus, Eric shares how he's helping his 7-year-old son launch a bug-breeding business to teach real-world skills.

In this raw and urgent episode, Eric Maynard and Mr. Pancakes dive deep into the terrifying world of the 764 network—a decentralized online terror group targeting children through grooming, sextortion, self-harm coercion, and extreme violence. Inspired by the explosive Shawn Ryan Show interview with hacker Ryan Montgomery, the hosts break down how 764 and its offshoot groups operate on platforms like Roblox, Discord, Minecraft, Instagram, and TikTok. They share chilling real-world examples, discuss the group's nihilistic and satanic influences, and stress why parents—especially dads—must stay vigilant. The conversation shifts to practical parenting strategies: strict tech boundaries, building unbreakable self-confidence in kids, instilling traditional values and morals, and prioritizing family protection above all else. A must-listen wake-up call for any parent navigating the digital age.

Father, Forgive Me: Can You Still Honor Parents Who Destroyed Your Trust? Four dads and a pastor go completely unfiltered on one of the toughest questions Christian men face today: How do you “honor thy father and mother” when your parent is a thief, an addict, a murderer, or simply toxic? We wrestle with boundaries vs. honor, forgiveness vs. access, and why so many men today feel forced to choose between the Fifth Commandment and protecting their own wives and kids. From demonic personality changes to cutting off family for good, this episode doesn’t pull punches. We also unpack the real reason society lost honor altogether (hint: it’s not just the internet), the emasculation playbook that’s been running for 50 years. Summary of the Discussion: https://callwithdads.com/when-honor-thy-father-and-mother-feels-impossible/ Guest Spotlight: Pastor Ron Merritt – No-nonsense pastor who grew up free-range on a farm and working to fight an evil destroying our families and souls.

In this raw, no-filter livestream, Eric and Mr. Pancakes start with a simple tutoring experiment that exposes a brutal truth: kids openly admit “I still have more to learn,” while most grown men (yes, us) protect our egos, blame the system, and stop growing. What follows is an hour of tangents, laughs, and hard-hitting dad talk—from rage-bait algorithms and creepy Nextdoor weirdos to falling iguanas, herpes monkeys, and why Instagram is now 90 % racists + OnlyFans. Beneath all the chaos is one big question every father needs to answer: When was the last time you let your kid see you suck at something…and keep trying anyway?

Three dads unpack the moment every father dreads: hearing “I hate you” from your own kid. From cold-shower showdowns to teenage eye-daggers, the crew shares real stories, laughs off the pain, and drops hard-earned wisdom on why the hate isn’t personal—it’s proof you’re holding the line. They dive into the idolize → demonize → humanize cycle, why dads can’t vent to wives (or therapists), and the one outlet that actually works: fellowship with other men. Expect tangents on dishwashers, begat-lists, and why cooking casseroles doesn’t make you less of a man.
