Our Story
A Dadass and a Dude walked into a bar... wait, is that how it goes? Well, kind of...In the spring of 2020, Matt Lofy, the Dadass and Shaun Ditty, The Dude, walked into Shaun's basement speakeasy bar to record a podcast and the rest is history. From the basement speakeasy to a podcast platform of your choosing, The Dadass Podcast began as one new Dad's mission to learn to be as his Father's Day mug proclaims, a "Super Dad," and has grown to so much more.

You’ll also leave with a new dad joke or two!
