Ep 561: Being a Dad, a Warrant Officer, and a Creator—With OnexPunchxDad Josh Green
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The crew sits down with Josh Green—active-duty Army Warrant Officer, content creator, voice actor, and father, best known online as @OnexPunchxDad. What starts with military satire and why his humor resonates across every branch turns into a deeper conversation about fatherhood, masculinity, creativity, and responsibility. Josh breaks down how accidental virality collided with real-world consequences, why being an active-duty service member shapes what he will and won’t post, and how balancing military service, creative work, and family forces hard choices. From raising boys with emotional intelligence, to navigating outrage culture, AI-generated media, and the pressure to perform online, this episode is funny, grounded, and honest. Influence fades. Presence doesn’t.
