- Welcome back to Father Knows Something! Real People. Real Stories. Real Dad advice with a dash of ADHD, and maybe a couple of millennials chiming in from time to time to add their thoughts.
This week's episode is a little different as it has Jerry and his two sons, Matt and Taylor, discussing some listener write-ins to start off 2023! Jerry has wanted to do one of these episodes for a long time so we figured being home for the holidays would be the perfect time. Hope you guys enjoy!

I just had to pause when Taylor put the blame on the sister in the 1st story. The fact that one comment about the fridge lead to a huge argument where he punched his sister in the face is a HUGE red flag. I love this podcast so I’m going to keep listening and give Taylor the benefit of the doubt here but yeah, red flag and there’s no justifying that kind of violence.
Please look into BetterHelp…a lot of sketchy and disheartening stuff going on with them.
about the girl whose partner hid his children and snapchats other girls: you do not have "trust issues", you have a partner who you cannot trust. If you have been conditioned to feel like you have "issues", that is so telling. he is manipulating you and trying to make you feel guilty for inquiring about his toxic behavior. run so fast and run so far!!!!
I’ve been punched in the face and choked by my younger brother, when he was 18 and I was 20. It broke my heart, and took me a solid 6 months to even talk to him again after that. The brother in the first story has anger issues. No kind of tone of voice, mean words, attitude, nothing on this planet should ever make someone think it’s okay to put their hands on someone else man or woman.
The first story the sister DID NOT initiate the fight IMO. He slammed someone else's property she said be careful because everyone in the home uses it. It wasn't his to slam. He could've went to his room and vented on his own things. He wanted to argue thats why he was throwing a fit in front of everyone. The sister defended herself after he called her a b*tch. She shouldn't get involved in the brother and dad's business though unless her opinion is asked. It's hard cause it's your parent but that's also their parent. The brother needs therapy and not from his mom. No one should have to walk on egg shells when someone is mad. He's an adult and needs to learn to take accountability.
So awesome to see Taylor on the show. Thanks for sharing Taylor!
Morgan you should look into better help before you keep promoting it, they are getting exposed again for having fake therapist and not actually helping people. They’ve been doing this for so long they don’t deserve your promo.
Thank you Matt for saying there is no reason the first story’s brother should have punched someone. It doesn’t matter if the sister pushed his buttons there are other ways for that brother to respond. I was a bit taken aback when Taylor put the responsibility on the sister for “pushing his buttons”. That is a slippery slope of validating the brother’s violence/abuse. Its not the victim’s fault for the other person’s violence. I personally think OP and her brother need a lot of space, and a lot of boundaries. Maybe even reconsider if they want to see the brother if the brother is unwilling to talk calmly, communicate, and make changes. I hope he learns to manage his anger before dating someone. While his emotions are valid and he cannot control how he feels, his response is in his control.
The other son in his 20s seems like he has a lot to learn...hes very closed off and guarded...perhaps just nervous bein on cam? I like that the older one fathered the younger sib cuz he seemed to be more on board with the punching guy and not realizing the bigger issue.
For the story regarding the BF and his abusive father. If you choose your BF to be your life partner you become a team. His family becomes your family. You need to help him protect his siblings and support them. If you want a life without his family it will be without him too. One day he could cut contact, but not while his siblings are in danger. Therapy would be a good idea 🤍 to help him and you
I’m a women and when I was listening to this episode I realized how nice it is to hear 3 adult men talking about these stories involving emotions and layers and things that I don’t normally get to her guys talk about. Great of you guys to share and be vulnerable. I love the confidence!!!
i'm only halfway through the first story and i have two thoughts. taylor is a little cutie and i hope we get to see more of him on either podcast. i absolutely love how matt reads the stories LOL
Idk if you remember but I've been asking for new people, like Matt, to come on the show for different opinions on these write ins and I'm so excited to watch! I'm also glad to finally put a face to a name seeing Taylor too! 👏🏼✨
The girl that her boyfriend didn’t tell her about the kids: that guy seems so manipulative and really immature. The problem is not you being insecure - him being shady is. You’re just human feeling what any human would feel after that kind of behaviour. He has shown you that he’s willing to hide huge things like him having kids, to manipulate you into moving in with him. He is being shady. You are just reacting to what you are seeing in his behaviour. Trust your gut rather than try and stop listening to it. Trust yourself, because that insecure feeling you have when he’s out is telling you something, it’s your instincts telling you to run.
I’ve burned through almost every Father Knows ep over the past couple months, and was curious to hear Taylor’s takes on the pod this week-mostly given the relatively (?) limited info we’ve heard from Jerry. Taylor had more broad questions and statements; those that my mind also jumped to immediately, given the context, that could’ve only been narrowed by being present in the exact moment as each respective OP. Hearing Taylor vocalize the same initial skepticism that was sitting in the back of my mind was validating. That said, sincere thanks for his participation on FKS this week
Love meeting more of the family ❤
1st story. My oldest son is 5 years older than his brother. He constantly tries to parent the younger one. I can see this frustration building up over time. My youngest will get so angry. But If someone disrespects my house/things then they can find someplace else to live.
GIRL RUN! Dad said it nicer than I would have.
As someone who is the partner with a difficult relationship with a parent and had a partner who doesn’t like how they treat everyone we have learned a lot together. My partner wants to be there for me, and I made a decision to keep a form or a relationship to that parent, but the difference is having boundaries. When the parent over step, we pull back and let them know what they did is unacceptable and we take space for ourselves. My heart goes out to those in a similar situation. Maybe cutting off the relationship is needed for others, but I made up my own mind and communicated with my partner about everything so they know what’s going on. Took years of emotional pain to get here and it’s still hard. I’m lucky my partner supports me and I give them space to say what they feel too. Love and family sure is complicated.
Jerry you are so wise, this episode was so cool with Matt and Taylor!!
