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!

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.
