The Unhinged Father
Welcome to The Unhinged Father — also known as TUF — a podcast for anyone who loves their kids but isn’t going to pretend it’s easy. And honestly, even if you don’t have kids, stick around — because this show is really about something bigger than parenting.
I’m Robbie. Dad of three, husband, and someone who figured out that the best way to get through the chaos of modern life is to stop pretending you have it together and start talking honestly about what it actually looks like. Every week I bring real, unfiltered conversations on fatherhood, parenting, mental health, personal development, masculinity, relationships, and the everyday grind of trying to be a better man and a better human in a world that makes that harder than it should be.
No highlight reels. No perfect parent BS. Just honest talk from someone figuring it out right alongside you.
TUF covers the topics most podcasts are too polished to touch — mental health, self-improvement, work-life balance, emotional regulation, modern masculinity, relationships, discipline, screen time, societal expectations, and what it means to keep growing when the world feels increasingly unhinged itself.
Whether you’re a parent in the trenches, someone navigating the pressures of modern life, or anyone who’s just tired of toxic positivity and highlight reels — this is your show.
New episodes every week. Come for the honesty, stay for the occasional chaos.

Hey, just found your podcast and listened to the episode on the balance between positivity and negativity, and it hit hard for me. I've always tried to be the overly optimistic person, to try to find the good in the world and any situation, because I have depression and can spiral very quickly. But lately, I've become the exact opposite - overly pessimistic and only seeing the shit in everything - like Stan from South Park where all he saw was shit. I have a baby girl who is turning two next month and we are expecting a baby boy around then as well, and all I can think of is how shit the world is right now and how scared I am for them to enter it. How powerless I feel to change anything about it. How exhausted I am from taking care of our daughter and wondering how the fuck we will be able to add another child onto everything we already have going on. Add that onto how I don't have time for any releases lately, and everything has become very dark. And it's difficult because I don't know if this is normal-ish kind of stuff for a dad to think or worry about or if I'm overreacting and making a mountain out of an ant hill. I appreciate you letting me say all of this. Like I said, shit is tough right now. But it helps to know that just maybe it's ok to be struggling.
