Tobin and his girlfriend did a soul link, Vinny and his girlfriend did a soul link and Dylan and his daddy did a soul link. We are in a peak era of content.
Excited to announce that as of 12/22/23 and after 7 years of struggling to conceive and a couple miscarriages my wife delivered our beautiful baby boy Jack and I am finally a dad. I now know what it is to be a dad and I'm excited to share moments like you guys have with him in the future. Thanks for everything you do fellow dads and a very merry Christmas to you and your families.
I love the dichotomy of Shady being super knowledgeable about Radical Red and knowing great strats for beating tough fights, and then having moment like 9:13 where he was so confused that this Crawdaunt “had a focus sash” and didn’t once consider that maybe that ability that popped was Sturdy
I don't mean this as a slight to Dylan at all but it's always impressive watching Shady because of his ability to switch between being "A mic" and "B mic". He's very patient in every series to not over talk whoever he's working with. Real pro lol
It make sense tho. This isn’t the first time that shady’s done duo’s with others and was like one of the first to do a soullink. When u got a decade in the game u pick up insane skils
@@airlumesif you’re talkin about Dylan I disagree. I think it is incredibly difficult to keep the conversations flowing while playing such an intense game and keeping it all together. Dylan’s not purposefully interrupting or talking over shady
"Orphan is honestly broken, in the best way possible; not in the sad way." It's actually insane how a Father of hundreds states this sentence. I love this series.
Damn, y’all talking about your kids and family makes me wanna be a dad and stay the dude I am. It’s so wholesome man godbless y’all been a fan since before the kids and it’s amazing to see the progression ❤️❤️❤️
I am actually so happy you used my suggestion for pokemon dying in the middle of battles! I know it's not necessary for other games, I just felt that radical red was a different beast. Thank you guys!
i used to live next to that universal. went there for fun because we were bored. I was also homeschooled so we would go during the middle of a weekday, so it was never busy. super fun happy to have you back shady!
Watching this series just has me making puns all day. New balances have never been so shiny. And every shirt I wear looks better tucked. Thanks for changing me for the better Daddios
Hearing about the lifelong friends at the beginning reminds me of me and my buddy who went to Africa and ended up stuck for for an extra two years. Keep up the hard work you guys
Shady: Craudaunt had sturdy not focus sash. Dylan: you chose a different region at the beginning, so the pokemon the rival gets is random. Shady (forgetting a strat he figured out many months ago) forced the rival into a certain starter by keeping the kanto region. Now he seems to just choose kanto out of habit and may have forgot the strat due to PTSD or something from prolonged exposure to rad red. Loving the series you guys and definitely agree that pairs being boxed after battles is the way to go bc otherwise it's the same as let's say shady knowing a mon is gonna faint and Dylan contributing to play until he needs to sack a mon then both things happening at the same time. For continuity of the battle it's better to keep on playing and just knowing there's a sack mon in party. Also double battle strat is legit 6 mons on you chose your 3 and have your partners 3 in back. If mons just so happen to overlap in a pair that you both tend to use that's cool.
I have not yet watched the video, but I wanted to comment how much I enjoyed the breakdown at the beginning that showed what the toughest party had to throw at them. It made me respect the difficulty more and know what to look for. I'd like to ask that a similar rundown be done in each episode to inform those of us (like myself) who have been out of the pokemon game for enough that this helps us, even if it's just for Giovanni, gym leader, etc.
Going through a breakup and watching you all has truly been a spot of positivity, silliness, and happiness that I have needed. Thank you so much for all of the laughs. Keep being great
The knowledge of a fan made game is impressive the hours logged in the game alone to know half of what he dose some man and it's fun to see Dylan find things in it shady doesn't know keep posting loving the videos guys
Watching this while passing through Georgia on a road trip. Love the idea of naming Pokémon after your kids from the first few episodes. I have a sister who just turned three a few days ago and I named my shiny weville in S/V after her.
I've seen a last stand rule where you immediately send in the partner until they die. That way, they get a chance to put in some damage on the way out.
Love that my 8 year old daughter walked up and asked if I was watching Dads Being Dudes and if she could watch with me. I was watching last Saturdays episode and she watched for a little bit but now it’s our thing every Tuesday and Saturday. You guys are awesome!
I know this probably such a long shot but I would love for the two goats to soul link either Pokémon reborn or insurgence after this series that would be so much fun and so hype
Hi dads, upload came at a good time, holiday season can get a bit lonely with all the xmas themes. as the GF is visiting family in another country this upload made a tough night a little more enjoyable. Thank you for that
You know the awkward moments in soul links when a pair dies and the partner is on the feild so you have to do a forced swichout. Or when a dead partner gets dragon tailled/roared out and you have to do a forced swich. THAT feels 10x more janky then the rule implemented this episode so i am 100% in favor of this rule change. It makes more sense then how it worked previously.
Agree, and also it makes it so the player with the better team doesn't get more of an advantage in a hard fight. Like if Shady has already killed 4/6 mons and then loses something, while Dillon is still on 2/6 mons that is pretty brutal.
After watching dad's being dudes every food that I eat involves smoked meats and there is never enough salt on my food. Also I refuse to wear my hearing aids.
NO one I know of does the death after fight rule... but RadRed is designed to be played with precise team building which you can't do... it's a fair rule to make the attempt possible.
or they can take their time in the battle and if someone is in a tough spot then let the other get farther through their fight first before risking death. but yes i agree no one i watch does that after battle death crap either
@@davidwaxter66 yea idk i feel like ive never seen it done where u instantly kill whatever pkmn mid battle. ive always thought and played it like after battle u discard the deaths
I've done that in my own soul links since I've started 5 years ago. I have a different variation though. I have it so that if I switch in the "dead" pokemon I'm not allowed to switch again. I call it the "final stand clause". They either die trying to take down as many opponent mons as possible or they win and die after the fight.
Dylan that roller coaster thing is no joke. I used to love amusement parks. Took my little ones to a small park this past summer and was dying after the first ride
*stands up* and then losing you’re train of thought is so funny shady the actual poketuber goat. I know gamefreak don’t be shouting the community out a lot but there has to be a a trainer where when you encounter them or after the battle they mention that you the player character is shady or that their name is shady he deserves it
Love this series! I hope I get to actually see the end of this game with y’all because I’ve never seen anyone finish it. lol. Merry Christmas, Dads! 😂😄
Can I just have a sitcom of just like your lives and/or a podcast when you guys talk about your kids it’s low key more entertaining then the Pokémon content
I am loving the rule change. It makes it so much better. I mean in theory if you know someone’s going down you could always wait for the other person to finish anyway so it doesn’t really matter. This makes it a much more fluid play through I think
Im glad yall decided to do the new rule id rather see yall prevail through hardship of losing 1 or multiple good pairs in a battle vs wiping often due to unable to use mons from the other.
My wife and I went to universal in CA and the Mario ride was decent…the world was amazing! Loved the design and just waiting in line looking at everything! We also got stuck on the Harry Potter Broom ride twice 😂
Hey I just want to let you know that I’ve been a fan of both of you for a long time and yesterday I caught a shiny deli bird and named it shady after you ❤️❤️
What happens when/if y'all beat this game in a Soul Link? Move on to other games and do Soul Links with them? SHUT 'ER DOWN? Loving the videos so far. So glad I got here at the start.
Dylan mentioning Brendan being 3 and the tshirt made me realize that announcement was when I first started college. And with watching Shady since middle school, thank you guys for being with me on this journey as I’ve entered the adult world out of college this year 🙏
Went to Universal Studios in Japan this year maybe biased as it is the 1st major theme park I've been to but I loved it, Harry Potter World and Nintendo Land were both cool to visit, you don't see any of the other park while you're there with helps with the immersiveness of each area.
i mean, having a Will-o-wisp mon that outspeeds Kangaskhan is a solid strategy, i often did that as well, the problem here was team building was not ideal, they should've brought a normal resist to waste the turns in which Kanga clicks Body Slam, and then a dark Resist to take the crunch while clicking protect in between, this fight is pretty easy but only if you play around the AI correctly.
Shady is the Doctor Strange of Pokemon. He's always looking for every possible outcome and its amazing to watch
Watching him in actual Wifi battles is magic too. He constantly evaluates his path to win and just executes every single time.
I haven't said this yet but seeing Shady do a Soul Link again actually warms my soul. So happy he's back in The Pokémon scene (for a lil while now)
Agreed love that he’s back to doing projects with other Poketubers again.
This is no joke. He's my favorite poke tuber for so long and when him and Nappy stopped I was young now I'm a dad so it's full loop.
Again it must of hit him hard what happened a few years back so happy he’s back to doing these can’t wait the next 4 way play through
@@SullyJNP What happened a few years back?
@@tardiswhisperer5764 I'm guessing he is referring to an old member called nappy and his horrible actions.
You can watch videos about Nappy if you wanna be caught up.

So next is them all coming together for one big soul link

So I had to comment this but every time Dylan says "Will-O" my daughter Willow looks around for who is calling her. 😂😂 It's so adorable

Love how this sounds like a podcast at times, and the Pokémon nuzloke is just a plus

its that dad power

He constantly cuts others off, never lets them finish. A very bad habit, hopefully he can fix it.
@@airlumesif you’re talkin about Dylan I disagree. I think it is incredibly difficult to keep the conversations flowing while playing such an intense game and keeping it all together. Dylan’s not purposefully interrupting or talking over shady
Very well put. I've always thought this but never should phrase it right 🫡
i love how the thumbnail shows Shady being beaten up by the baby and Dylan being beaten up by the mother. it really reflects their teams well
The Kid Kangaskhan beating up Shady cus he has the worse team is hilarious lmao
My dyslexia read Kangaskhan as Kardashian lmao
@@phonyorc5258 lmaoo
These guys are the goats 100% can pull out a win in this soul linked run
Agreed. Not sure if it's this run, but they *will* beat it.
"Orphan is honestly broken, in the best way possible; not in the sad way." It's actually insane how a Father of hundreds states this sentence. I love this series.
I love the storytelling at the beginning. They are truly getting us invested in the story line.
My oldest just turned 3 yesterday so I know the feeling. He watches with me and we love y’all. Thanks for the amazing content
One more dad-child for the older than the daddies club. Thanks for the new vid. I'm loving the series and the channel.
Since watching these I’ve learned a lot about being a dad! If my kid/kids grow up loving me I have you guys to thanks.
I have been enjoying these videos very much. The chaos, the chaos and the hype all around is just super fun! Keep it up Dylan and Shady! You two rock!
This has been such an amazing series so far! Always looking forward to seeing the dads getting Ws!
my favorite duo in the world atm, so much love and keep up the grind brothers
Damn, y’all talking about your kids and family makes me wanna be a dad and stay the dude I am. It’s so wholesome man godbless y’all been a fan since before the kids and it’s amazing to see the progression ❤️❤️❤️
I am actually so happy you used my suggestion for pokemon dying in the middle of battles! I know it's not necessary for other games, I just felt that radical red was a different beast. Thank you guys!
Thank you for suggesting it to them, I also think that RR is too hard and possibly impossible under their normal hardcore rules.
@@RealCutieMutie I love the content, I was really happy to see a large outpouring of people who thought the same.
I love this series so freaking much. I find myself looking forward to every episode like I did back in the old ShadyP soul link days with Nappy.
Dad playing hard mode so his son can skate through on easy mode is so wholesome! 😂
Thank you for this series. I have been dealing with alot of negative stuff in my life and just having a good laugh
I look forward to this every week. Finals was rough but dads bein dudes got me thru
Love this channel and series I have always enjoyed watching Dylan and shady’s videos and other people in the friend group.
i used to live next to that universal. went there for fun because we were bored. I was also homeschooled so we would go during the middle of a weekday, so it was never busy. super fun
happy to have you back shady!
Loving the series, just 2 Dads playing games. Never been interested in radical red but this series changed my mind for sure.
Watching this series just has me making puns all day. New balances have never been so shiny. And every shirt I wear looks better tucked. Thanks for changing me for the better Daddios
This makes a lot of sense! This prevents them from abusing it by purposely using it for a switch in but also doesn't make the other mon useless
Really appreciate this channel. Can't wait to see y'all WIN this run
The mother baby duo vs dad son duo in the thumbnail is great
Glad yall decided to do the rule change
I would 100% buy a I Know Some Dads shirt. Love the content guys, keep up the amazing work
Hearing about the lifelong friends at the beginning reminds me of me and my buddy who went to Africa and ended up stuck for for an extra two years. Keep up the hard work you guys
As of 12/23/23 @ 9:53am I have officially joined the Dads Bein Dudes club! Love the videos and vibes! Y’all are 2 of my favorite TH-camrs! ❤
I am happy you can guys are not dying so keep the episodes coming love hearts for shady and dylan
Dylan and Shady are just built different! Love everything you guys do to bring smiles to people

I've been waiting for this episode honestly. I'm currently stuck in a normal run at Giovanni, and i'm running out of team ideas lol.

This is the best series on TH-cam! Silph Co. stands no chance against the duo of dads! The literal run!
Crazy I've been watching you guys for 4/5 years now
every episode just reminds me that you two have the best dynamic 😆
as someone who grew up watching shady and his older soul links, I feel like I’m back in the good old days watching these 🥹
Shady is right. It doesn't matter how old we get, you'll always be our two dads being dudes!
Agreed
I still remember Dylan, surprising all of the guys with the news of becoming a dad. Crazy how much time has gone by
Just wanted to remind Dylan that you can get psychic fangs on Mew for a physical stab move
Love y’all so much, keep it up!! Dad pride!
Greetings from Bolivia! Enjoy watching you guys. Merry Christmas!
Ayyyy big up Honkai SR I love that game literally spent 178 hours on it since it’s PS release
I know this probably such a long shot but I would love for the two goats to soul link either Pokémon reborn or insurgence after this series that would be so much fun and so hype

In a normal soul-link insta death is ok but this is too hard otherwise (and more exciting than if they were calcing every move to garrentee the plays)
Dylan: 20 seasons is CRAZY
Also Dylan: MONKEY D. LUFFY
Can't wait for them to come back later and be like "Yeah no I totally did get motion sick"
Shady is right Dylan it doesn’t matter how old we are you guys will always be our 2 dads being dudes.
Love you both, keep up the good work!
Love watching this after a long shift at work
There’s nothing better than playing a chill game like BG3 and watching these two Soul-link :D
The biggest dad flex is being an episode behind and having to pull up the video 10+ times to finish it
Since subscribing to this channel I have bought a knee high socks, Jean shorts, grew a beard, and now make noises when sitting down and getting up

Been watching for a while love the content
Me: “That’s a bold move using Delphox against Kangaskan.”
Delphox less than 10 seconds later: ☠️
i mean, having a Will-o-wisp mon that outspeeds Kangaskhan is a solid strategy, i often did that as well, the problem here was team building was not ideal, they should've brought a normal resist to waste the turns in which Kanga clicks Body Slam, and then a dark Resist to take the crunch while clicking protect in between, this fight is pretty easy but only if you play around the AI correctly.
Dads being dudes has to be one of the shirt shady and Dylan 😂
Best Christmas gift. If this series
I learned how to fix my car, washing machine and readjusted my shelves after watching this.
