CJ Sullivan tells Stephie Smalls about a recent quote that perfectly explains Dad Nirvana — the pure joy of eating alone. The story comes from quarterback Joe Flacco, who admitted that what used to look like loneliness now feels like heaven: sitting at a bar, three drinks in, chicken sandwich on deck, no one asking him to change the thermostat or talk about feelings. Smalls cracks up as CJ breaks down why every father in America nodded in agreement — because sometimes “family time” just can’t compete with fries, peace, and televised football. This episode dives into Week 9’s ultimate dad vibes, Week 10 NFL betting lines, and the universal truth that solitude and bar food are the official post-game rewards of fatherhood. #dadlife #joeflacco #podcastclips #stephiesmalls
