The Carpool Guys
The Carpool Guys Podcast is where real-life dads — Asher Dworetsky, Jon Ackerman, and Dave “From Flatbush” Tannenbaum — share unfiltered conversations about family, fatherhood, work, and the wild ride of midlife.
They’ve made mistakes, learned lessons (mostly the hard way), and have just enough life experience to be dangerous with advice. From career crossroads to raising kids in a digital world, from marriage moments to dad fails, The Carpool Guys dive into it all with honesty, humor, and heart.
Whether you’re commuting, carpooling, or just catching your breath between responsibilities, this is your front-seat pass to authentic midlife banter, questionable wisdom, and a few laughs along the way.

Mini Mentors: Lessons From Our Children
In this lively episode of The Carpool Guys Podcast, the dads dive headfirst into the chaos, curiosity and comedy of learning from life's greatest teachers... our kids! From epic tantrums and jet-lagged meltdowns to the unforgettable concept of “foreign tushies” (trust us, you’ll never hear that phrase the same way again), this episode reminds us that even in the messiest moments, there’s always something to laugh about... and learn from!
Along the way, Asher, Jon, and Dave share personal stories about family life, the importance of staying curious, and the lessons they’ve learned from their own kids — sometimes the hard way. Whether you’re a parent, future parent, or just someone who loves a good laugh, this one’s for you.
