About Dude Dad:
Hi! I'm Taylor Calmus, a Colorado-based actor/comedian. I started Dude Dad© two weeks before my son Theo was born as a way to stay creative while learning to be a father. My wife Heidi and I now have 3 kids and over 300+ videos. My purpose for the channel is to entertain, enlighten and inspire.

In addition to Dude Dad©, I have been in numerous TV shows, commercials, and have regular appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live. I will also be hosting my own TV show called "Super Dad" on the new Magnolia Network / Discovery+. Heidi and the kids will also be a part of the show. I am originally from the rural community of Howard, South Dakota.

As the husband of a teacher, I appreciate what you said about them. Thank you for helping your kids teachers like you are. The clear the list gift is a great idea. They are very underapppreciated and deserve a ton of respect

[karenhelser]

As a retired teacher who comes from a long line of teachers, bless you guys for the support. Everything you said about teachers is honoring and right on!!! Love your videos!!! Thanks for sharing! Have a great school year!

This teacher thanks you. Parents supporting their kids is SO important. And your support of teachers is much appreciated. Thank you! You are both outstanding examples of great parents.

Heidi looked liked she was 1 post-it away from going postal. Don't mess with the good post-its! 😆

At first I was worried for heidi’s safety, driving around with a hot open coffee cup, but then I remembered if Taylor taught me anything, is that her cup is 90% creamer, she’ll be fine lol

We need to see a video of Taylor picking the kids up in the T Rex costume!!!! That would be hilarious!!! XD XD

Shout out to Heidi for the DC talk mention

[hollundtheotter]

20 something students in a class! That would be fantastic!! I am a woodshop teacher and normally have 40 plus kids at a time. Thanks for giving gifts to teachers!

I use the megaphone in my classroom 😄 Yes, I use it to get their attention- scare them out of their naps- The siren is fun for those times when collaborative work talk becomes loud😂 The best gift I could get from parents is support- I want nothing more than a supportive parent. make sure your child gets to bed early enough. Feed them breakfast before they come to school. Make sure they are prepared and have completed their work. Communicate with me. I am human and I am not perfect I make mistakes and I’m more than willing to admit that I make mistakes but come to me and talk to me. don’t talk trash about your child’s teacher in front of your child. It confuses them and it makes them think that they can be disrespectful in the classroom. you don’t have to like me but we can respect each other-

Yall are so correct with your comments on teachers. As someone who just left education we were seriously so under appreciated and under paid for the amount of stress that came with the job.

I just realized Heidi said she’s giving TWO Amazon gift cards! Want to clear the list and another actually FOR THE TEACHER!!
HEIDI, YOU WIN 🏆
Thank you for caring about teachers!! It’s been a tough few years and it was tough even before it was tough/er!!

I prefer Heidi's music choices. Yes DC Talk!

I love all these ideas, the moms and the dads. Two things:
1) as a front office worker at an elementary school, I see the struggle that teachers deal with on the daily (and yes, including weekends!). Our school system will not improve unless people contact their school boards and administrative departments of their districts, and vote to make changes in their elections as well.
2) I wrote notes to my boys when they were in school, all the way up through high school, and even their first year of college (my boys are now 33, 32, and 31). They still remember those notes and all three said that it was often the difference between a good and bad day. Show your kids some love! :)

School teacher and mom here! I really appreciate what you said. Every year we pour a lot of our own money into our classrooms to make sure every kid has what they need, we have extra snacks for the kid that doesn’t have one, our classroom is welcoming, fun and organized with 20+ kids in it all day. All the while we often struggle to get a 1% raise which never offsets the increase in our medical insurance costs. But we teach because we love kids, we want them to reach their dreams and we want to help them all along that journey.

[telesforagarcia]

As an elementary school teacher, it makes me so happy to hear you understand and appreciate your child’s teacher and the responsibility and role they play! Makes my heart melt!

[kaitlinciccarello]

As a current teacher, often wish lists are for some of the “fun” things we wish we had in our classrooms that a budget didn’t cover. For example, while a school budget may cover paper & writing stuff it may not cover bins to put said paper & writing utensils in. Thank you for understanding the struggle we face & the support!! (& from experience the treats & extra gift cards we often share with our spouses who are our rocks at home!)

Teachers need to receive more love than they do. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taylor and Heidi, I’m a teacher in Oklahoma. I’ve been watching you for years. Big fan. Thank you so much for your comments about supporting teachers. This means so so much to all of us. Thank you thank you both. Much love! Happy Back to School. Wishing your kids a wonderful year.

DC Talk! Lol I grew up listening to Jesus Freak, I still know most of the words to it

[latricebyrd]

You both are great, and your ideas should be put in a book. Love it. Blessings!!🙏🏽
