The Carpool Guys
The Carpool Guys Podcast is where three real Jewish dads- Asher Dworetsky, Jon Ackerman, and Dave "From Flatbush" Tannenbaum, buckle up for unfiltered conversations about fatherhood, marriage, midlife, and the beautiful chaos of raising a family in the Jewish community today.
These guys have made mistakes, learned lessons the hard way, and have just enough life experience to give out their not so expert advice. From career crossroads to screen time battles, from Shabbos table debates to parenting fails, from Israel and what it means to us as Jews to the everyday moments that make you laugh, cry, and question every decision you've ever made... The Carpool Guys go there.
Whether you're married or single, a parent or a kid who still needs one, navigating life or just trying to figure it all out... this is your podcast. Humor, heart, and meaning, every other week. No filter. No script. Just real talk from three guys who are very much still figuring it out too.
Buckle up. New episodes every other week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, Amazon, or wherever you get your podcasts!

🎙️ The Pilot — The Best Advice We Ever Got
Welcome to the very first ride of The Carpool Guys Podcast, where three dads — Asher Dworetsky, Jon Ackerman, and Dave “from Flatbush” Tannenbaum — talk about life, work, family, and all the chaos in between.
In this inaugural episode, the guys open up about what it really means to balance personal and professional life in today’s world. From lighthearted dad banter to surprisingly deep moments, they share the best advice they’ve ever received, what authenticity means at midlife, and how to take action when opportunity knocks. Along the way, they swap hilarious dating stories, talk about mentorship, and reflect on the lessons that only come from making a few (okay, a lot of) mistakes.
It’s funny, heartfelt, and refreshingly real — the perfect mix of dad humor, life advice, and mid-career honesty that makes you feel like you’re right there in the carpool with them.
