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.

Former CO resident with family still there, and I can vouch that this is not parody. This is a documentary.
Current CO resident, and have lived here for 40+ years. Husband is a native. This video is the truth, and then some. The need for moisturizer, however, fades after the first couple of decades here. After that, going anywhere with more than 10% humidity is a form of sticky torture. Also, the water everywhere else sucks by comparison.
@@Abyssinian121 I agree and have lived here my entire life besides a semester in Europe. The water here is so much better than anywhere else. I don’t actually like bottled water much either. The worst was visiting friends while in college when they lived in states like New Mexico and Kansas with awful tap water. They were so used to going to the store and keeping gallons of water around. They would have them prepared for any big test, or if they had to hunker down during bad weather. They got so used to drinking warm water. I couldn’t do it.
LOL!
Four years ago, I moved from San Diego to Boulder County, never looked back, and I now can say not a single reference in this documentary went over my blonde head.
Breck condo? Sold a kidney.
The last time I was in Colorado I saw a bumper sticker that said "If God had meant for Texans to ski He would have given them mountains."
He did. Colorado was once part of Texas. We decided to set ya'll free. You invented Boulder. We don't need you back.
@@susancnw59 Hilarious how the "natives" of Colorado don't realize the middle of the state was in fact part of the Republic of Texas decades prior to becoming a state.
@@nicholusbaker2830 they know. They do NOT like it when you remind them though.
@@susancnw59 I moved to Colorado from Texas 7 years ago and the people here are some of the rudest and most entitled human beings I have ever met. I say we Texans take back Colorado and make it a better place.
@@nicholusbaker2830 yep. If it weren't for the mountains, it would really have nothing going for it. Bland food, no accent...nothing.
lived in CO my whole life, so I can safely say this isn't even slightly exaggerated. 100% accurate.
That fact that he IS a transplant makes this even funnier. He’s successfully assimilated.
Everyone there is a transplant except the Arapaho
A California one at that! 🤣
@@geo102094 But, he's originally from South Dakota which, less face it, is essentially Colorado without the Rockies, LOL.
😂🤷♂️
@@DudeDad Holy cow!!! Dude Dad himself replied to my comment!!!
I'm currently living outside of Denver. This guy was walking his dogs in shorts, a t-shirt and some sandals this morning.. it was literally zero degrees.
You'll get used to it. ;-)
My son, Colo born & raised, didn’t wear pants for ANY reason or weather until he was about 12. 😆
I live in New Hampshire and I walked into a Cumberland Farms one morning when it was -9 and this guy was explaining that he didn't have his shorts on because it dropped below 0.
I’m a Colorado native and I have to say it’s easier for me to deal w the cold cuz of how dry it is. I went to Michigan and froze my ass off, same temps, different humidity.
Don't forget we have to deal with lake effect, we can get tons of snow dumped on us
Ditto. 40 deg in D.C. about killed me!
It can’t be THAT cold here right? 😅
I’m from Washington, when I went to upstate NY for college I was surprised to find that the rain now actually requires an umbrella and in the winter my skin crumbled like a cookie because I wasn’t used to a dry cold and now actually needed lotion.
"Humidity will kill ya." - The South.
I live in Colorado and this is 1000% accurate. I left my chapstick at home today and I'm miserable. Unrelated, there are 14 bikes in our garage and no cars.
Look at that "dusting" of snow. We just plowed out from under a 2-foot snowfall the other day in Minnesota. Found a Coloradan underneath the snow. Apparently he didn't have a Patagonia patch on his jacket and froze to death.
😂😂😂😂
south facing driveway is essential for us Canadian's up north. I put it distinctively when we were looking for a place and my hubby keeps thanking me for my wisdom. every. single. snowfall!
Pretty accurate. You forgot about the part where you have to replace your windshield in your car every year from rocks on the interstate
Take i-70 west and keep goin.... Been saying that since the 70's
Yeah, Denver Biscuit Company! "Just got a condo in Brek, only had to sell a kindney." 🤣
Pulled 2 Californian's back onto the road last night, never gets old.
I am a Ft Collins resident and all those are 1000% accurate, especially the "Fat Tire" reference!! Get ready for more snow tonight!
Lol, same! There's nothing like biking on Mason or Poudre trails to pick up some fat tire on my fat fire.
"There's always next year," has always been the mantra of Broncos" fans since the 60s, 70s, 80s, most of the 90s, until the back-to-back Super Bowl wins in 1998 and 1999, then the wonderful win in 2016. Love the line about going on I-70 and go back to California, the same could be said about Texas, too. Go Broncos!
Same could be said about New Yorkers, ppl from Kansas, pretty much everyone who comes to visit & decides to stay! 😼
Uh, I-25 for Texas
That South facing driveway part really got me. Literally said that the other day. 🤣
Me too!
Laughed out loud at that part
Said that more times than I can count last winter
“I’m just really dry...
Like a biscuit.”
LMAO!!! This is so true.
I’m a Colorado native!!!!
My wife and I always watch your videos when they come out. We live in Colorado and you've nailed it again! We always get upset at "California drivers", so the line of taking i-70 west... We couldn't stop laughing.🤣
If he isn't sponsored by Subaru after this, then something is wrong with that company.
Yrah it sucks lol Subaru is the white liberals starter kit. WLRP
We dont use salt on the roads..we use granola!!! Love it
Love the fun and laughter!!
It pisses me off that Colorado doesn't invest in salt or sand for the roads and I have been living on Colorado for going on 5 months and... Not once seen a snow plow! Stupid Colorado needs to invest in snowplows!
@@christianelgin5150 learn how do drive and drive an appropriate vehicle with appropriate rites/chains. Stop cycling. Just another whiner.
@@christianelgin5150As a CO native, we always had snow plows, sand, salt, etc! Plows coming through the neighborhood would block us in if we were parked in the street 😾 Not sure what's changed now? Maybe the "snowflakes" whining about the salt & sand destroying the environment, or something 🤷♀️ Lack of funds? Maybe complain to transportation dept
@@tomdavis3038 dude, I know how to drive in the winter! I was raised in the snow ignorant fool! I live 2 hours from Denver and I've not seen one snowplow where I live!
With the amount we pay in property taxes, it feel like they can afford a plow or four!!
Same water bottle from the “lives in colorado for two weeks video”. Love this guys and his work. And since I am from colorado, he really hits the stereotype great.
So accurate! Describes a winter Colorado. Plus the weathermen here can never predict the weather accurately. The margins of error are stretched. Its either 1-8 inches of snow. We just don't know
These videos are my FAVORITE!!🤣 I live in Oregon and us Oregonians must act like people who live in Colorado🤣 It's too similar and WAYYYY TOO FUNNY!! You guys are the best!!✌🏼
Love our Oregon homies 😌
Oregon is the colorado of the coast, we're either 105 degrees, raining or dumping snow in the cascades.
I live in Oregon and the PNW for the last 15 years but grew up in Colorado, and they are like sister states. Oregon is like the greener, "has an ocean", less dry, and better food version of Colorado, haha
I've been in Oregon for 7 years and family is in Colorado... can confirm all of the above is absolutely accurate. 😂 I wore Chacos today (Jan 29th) walking out to my Subaru Outback to get my orange Nalgene (wasn't frozen yet though!). Bikes live in the front room though since we dont have a garage currently... otherwise, accurate 😂😂😂
@@sarakajira1000% yes to this! perfect description.
Lol! I remember people being cold tolerant like this when I was younger, but now either the people around me are slipping or there are more transplants than I know of.
I went to pick the kids up from school a few days ago and they made them stay inside so all the parents had to go into the school to grab their children. Supposedly it was "too cold" at 20°F to let the kids wait outside for five, maybe fifteen minutes max. I forgot my coat on the way out of the house so I walked into the school wearing a tshirt, jeans, and ballet flats, and every other parent looked at me like I was completely insane. I mean, my legs and toes were covered, what more did they want?
So true! I grew up in Wyoming, people there are tough! Unless is was below zero with 30+mph wind we were outside playing. You didn’t come in until you couldn’t feel your fingers or toes 😂
Now, I get reminders from school to be sure and send the kids with warm gear because they’ll be outside unless is below 20*F.
In NW Indiana we would be outside in -20° temps. We laugh at the cold and we have lake effect so that means we get sh!t loads of snow. Some winters the snow has to be loaded on freight cars and sent south
As an Alaskan, all that gear feels a bit excessive for the lack of snow in this video 😂
I'm from Wisconsin, and I thought the same! 🤣
Also from Wisconsin-there is way too much equipment & clothing layers happening! That's t-shirt & sandals weather here! 😂
But it wasn't excessive for all the snow that was there an hour earlier
B A it looked excessive for even the snow that was there 😂 when the snow finally stuck around this year, anchorage got 16+ inches in some parts in a day and still had work/school. And we’re the city folk here lol I didn’t my first pair of nano spikes until two weeks ago and I’ve been here for 7 years.
We get massive snow storms! They're just all in March and everybody shovels in a t-shirt and shorts.
Love it ! My wife and I are laughing at how accurate this is. Especially with the car in the ditch. We are natives in Colorado ! So glad you choose Colorado when you guys moved a while back !
Moved from CO to MN a few years ago. I felt right at home in this video. Even though you are a transplant… 😂
Everyone knows a condo in the mountains costs two kidneys.
Thats why you have kids
@@tyrelgranger8105😂
Man, as a kid waiting for that snow day and waking up to dry ground between patches of snow was the worst! Glad to have the memories though 😅
I didn't see you shoveling snow in shorts, a t-shirt and slides. Missed one of the most important parts of being a Coloradoan!
South facing driveway. Melts before I have to. 🤘
@@DudeDad that was seriously one of my criteria when looking for a house here in CO, or at least not a north facing driveway.
Also, SLIDES?! .... it's gotta be Chacos or nothing at all.
@@DudeDadChacos, 1000% 😂😂😂
Seriously you are hilarious! I’m a Californian. Not all of us are “those” Californians, but that was FUNNNNY! Thank your for what you do to brighten up some boring days. 💛
I also moved from California. 😂🤷♂️
@@DudeDad but you're originally from South Dakota.
Most are 'that type of Californian' haha
@@DudeDad just don’t come to Texas please!
@@debbiehocking8047 Ok if he does. Just not "those kind" of Californians! Too many here already 🤡😾
Dry...like a biscuit. 😂🤪😂🤪 Love the dealing with weather description.
As a Colorado native you have nailed this!!🤣🤣🤣
I was a Florida transplant in CO for over 4yrs. I it's the most beatiful place I ever lived. Your video is spot on! I loved living there though it was hard getting used to the cold. Now I live in the midwest and I laugh at CO winters.😉 i really miss it!
😂😂😂 so true!! lost it when you read the mail. That and giving directions to the Californian! 😂😂😂
Try some bag balm for that dry skin. It works wonders.
Such a happy substance! Get it in skin care or baby isles at your local store!
I am a Laramie Wyoming native and is exactly how we view everyone in Colorado and California. Go back home greenies. Lol.
I’m a Fort Collins resident who is a Laramie fan girl. I’m ashamed, but it won’t stop me
We say the same thing to out of state people in NW Indiana where it's colder than a well diggers A-hole and we get tons of snow dumped on us
As a Colorado native, this is 100% accurate. Every. Single. Part.
Oh, and the north/south facing driveway is REAL. I've got a north facing one, and I hate it, but I *LOVE* the sun streaming into the back side of our home where we spend the majority of our time! A sunny kitchen is where it's at!
We got our Colorado strong t-shirts yesterday. Beautiful!! Can't wait to wear it!!
They're super comfy! We got ours a few days ago (because we live in the same town) and we love them!
AWESOME!
The past week and this week exactly with the weather. Funny, since it is all true. I went hiking this morning with my spikes on a mix of dirt and post holes. Definitely love my Subaru and ski pass.
Make sure you're geared up for the winter weather advisory. It kicks in in a few hours.
I am so ready. We need the snow.
Wish it was 2 feet!
Growing up in Wyoming I always loved and looked forward to winter. Currently life has me in Florida but if I had more "options " I would be living back in Wyoming. People are always saying there is nothing to do in Wyoming. Well, for us Wyomingnights, you are wrong and as long as there is open land and people who care enough to play and protect it, well that's just perfection.
I laughed so hard. I've lived in Colorado my whole life....so accurate. And now I have a new restaurant to try...Denver Biscuit Company here I come!
You are in for a treat. They have a giant bacon cinnamon roll that will induce a diabetic coma for 2-3 people.
As another native, Denver Biscuit Company is another over priced brunch place designed for the transplants.
Lmao as a native, this is hilarious. In addition, I’ve never said or done any of these things 🤣
Right!! They love to make all natives sound like douche bags. When in fact, a lot of us hate the snow, don’t go skiing, don’t drink Fat Tire exclusively, don’t have a bunch of dumb winter shit (I haven’t had snow shoes since I was like 5), and mainly stay away from all the people now in the state cause it’s way too many!!
Omg as a Washingtonian who grew up in California, I can relate to a lot of this. Especially the Patagonia layers and rapid weather changes
Yup, I grew up here in Colorado and this is all 100% accurate.
01:10....take it all the way until you get to the ocean....should have said that....it's deeper into CA and the assurance they won't leave :)
"Yeah, put your car in low gear and don't slow down when you're going uphill"; "We need the moisture"; "Yeah, they're from Texas, get around them, they think they're way up high in the mountains"; Drink a lot of water, you're at altitude"; "Don't worry, we can get Rockpile tickets the day of the game"; "This is the front range, that's the western slope"; "It's called treeline, not timberline"; "We're only at 11,000 feet, whatsa matter with you?". I'm a native, lived here my whole life. I'm a ColoradOAN, not ColoradAN.
Love all the Colorado gear, especially the ski cap.
"Going up during the playoffs, ya cuz the Broncos aren't in them" Ouch. Hilarious and spot on....so many Subarus.....
Subarus really are that good though. I worked at a car rental lot in Idaho during the winter in 2016. My first day there was a whiteout but we got a bunch of new Crosstreks and Outback’s. I was just cruising along gassing them up while people in suburbans were sliding off the road. It’s why I drive a Legacy now.
I've only been here 2 years and you nailed it bro! The only skit missing was you walking into a Walmart with shorts and slippers on in 4° temps...at night.
Transplant..... Smh
I always loved getting my REI dividend! After living in Denver 30+ years, our real estate allowed us to make a cash buy here in Kentucky with acreage. You know, now that you live in Colorado you can never afford to move back to California. Nor could we afford to move back to Colorado. Funny how that works!😂
Ppl doing that is why Californians made living here so expensive (name your price, we have cash) & now exporting that to other states.
My SIL said the same thing. Built their home in Denver for $350-400, sold it for $850, moved to Tx & moved back to be near kids & can't afford their old house.
You know you’re funny when you can make a native Texan laugh at, relate with and/or learn from everything you’re saying even though I’ve never lived in Colorado.
I moved there for 2months and my hair lost half its length cause for the first time in my life my hair frizzed. I was told to keep a bottle of coconut or olive oil with me. Everyone used it on thier hair and skin. It was a god send. Didn't leave my hair oily either. It sucked it right up.
In Denver they have eighteen inch curbs so you just bounce off instead of running off the road. When the snow gets deep enough they plow it with a road grader. Watch out for garbage trucks running the alley way red lights in the snow at five in the morning.
Missed the part about sitting in traffic on I-70😂
Our driveway faces south 🎉👏
That get on i-70 and go west all the way to California and stay there was the best line of the day.
Me being from Colorado this is spot on 😂😂😂
You said Mountain “correctly!” 😉 (never realized some people actually pronounce the “t” until I was a teenager… I’m from Utah, and I love the “mao-nns” 😂)
These are Utah problems too. 🤣
I hear this! Just transplanted from Utah. But the do such a better job of road maintenance! Colorado had some work to do.
2:18 Colorado native here… you need to get some tallow whip for Heidi from Humble Hive Company. Soooo good during Colorado winters. 😄🙌🏻🥶
Oh man I lived in Colorado for 7 years and sometimes I still miss it, his videos make me feel like I'm their again.
As an idahoan I can relate to a surprising number of these 😂
OMG granola instead of salt, that's absolutely priceless!
My Colorado cousins had “ski in your bikini days”…Breckinridge if I remember right! lol
You missed one of the most important parts- driving on I-70 on weekends! :D
I love it every time you say transplant.....were did you move from again? LOL
Best time for Colorado husbands when you can leave your beers in the garage, groceries in the truck, and yesterday’s breakfast lunch and dinner stay refrigerated. it’s winter and I’ll take my time grab what I want with no rush.
Ive lived in colorado my whole life, and this is scarily accurate
You know he's a Midwest transplant because of the humidifier. For native Coloradans it's not dry here, everywhere else is wet.
"Moun'un" is so true though.
When I heard "...during the playoffs, ya know. (when the Broncos aren't playing)" I almost spit out my coffee. It's been hard to be a Broncos fan since Manning retired.
Spot on with all of that!! CO born and raised!!
Valentimes Day in the Moun 'uns.😁
Good job dude dad, for a transplant, you nailed us!
As a Utahn myself, I sympathized when he mentioned the winter weather being in flux! 😄👍
Great video! 😊
This is mostly spot on but want to point out that we are ColoradANS not OANS. The Fort Collins newspaper "The Coloradoan" has a history of their mistaken name and admission :). I love the moun'ain reference because nobody I know eliminates the "t"... LOL. Every year these conversations get better.... LOL
Also, Ohioans. We get all 4 seasons in a day sometimes. It's 50 today, next 2 days forecasting 14-22" of snow.
Same with Indiana! They could predict several inches of snow, we get maybe 1 and then it's 50° later that day. 🤷♀️🤣
I love this channel like y’all and it amazes me how people think you’re some superstar showbiz guy when we all know you’re just the Dude Dad….geeze. Just one of us. 👊🏼
The last 2 cars I saw in a ditch had Texas plates. :) And yeah we're always laughing at our neighbors who have the north facing houses. Our driveway is clean as a bone, and they have like 6 layers of ice and snow on it.
Coloradoans in February "soo should we take down the Xmas lights?"
The humidifier, the chapstick, the Denver Biscuit Co. Ahhhh yes that is me.
So awesome I love this it prepares me for what to “know” when I visit the centennial state CO!
I used to live in Denver. This is 100% accurate 😂
"gotta love that south facing driveway" 😂
This was amazing!! We’ll done and welcome to CO
Okay…now do one for Minnesotans. I’m a CA -> ND/MN transplant… 😂
How do you know it's winter time in Colorado? All the Subarus come out of hibernation! 🤣
As a 2nd year transplant from FL that doesn't want to leave, I'll take quirky cold over crazy tropics any day. Living here you learn that these stereotypes are purely out of function, you spend on Patagonia because it has an awesome replacement policy that pays itself, you drive a subaru because it's the happy middle between MPG and all season drivability, and no matter how much you moisturize your skin is always dry
2:42 try an Acura with SH-AWD. Turn, floor it, and you get a perfect four-wheel drift every time.
Didn’t know you were a fellow Coloradoan. This was a riot.
All the other stuff good, but that south facing driveway is such a major factor in home buying. That one and no planting flowers until after Mother's Day.
Lived in Colorado since 83. Yep, in time for some epic blizzards. But came from Michigan, still wear less layering than natives here...who often don't ski. Lol. Still struggle with powder, ice is so...set your edges. In Colorado must know the compass...directions all in NSEW. Also do NOT plant evergreens on the south side of a driveway, especially one with hills. Unless you like hibernating. For a few days anyway.
“Awh…Denver Biscuit Co!”
As a former transplant to Denver (military), that made me miss DBC so much!
I live in Rhode Island and it's the same here as well . Not as much snow as Colorado though. But if you go further north like Maine or Vermont oh yes! So much snow. We love our Subarus as well!
Drive all the way to California.. and then stay there.🤣
Native here, we have 5 bikes and 3 snowboards in our garage.
Very accurate despite you being a Cali transplant.
He didn't highlight the part where 94.5% of all Subaru drivers here chronically travel 15 miles below the speed limit, and coast along at a steady 35mph while in the leftmost lane on the highway.
Oh, and you can't forget all the people riding their fat tire bikes on the Cherry Creek bike path in the middle of July. 🙄
You never cease to make me laugh every single time🤣😂😅
The fact that you go to keystone makes me cry
