Mike Malloy is an entrepreneur, dad, adjunct professor at Georgetown and a founder of Malloy Industries, which finds fractional executives for companies. He also once coached Georgetown’s Men’s Ultimate Frisbee club team and gets to live at the beach in Delaware.
On a recent Company of Dads podcast that was meant to be very serious, Mike peppered his responses with a litany of Dad Jokes that were actually good. This surprised our host Paul Sullivan, who is deeply skeptical of the Dad Joke Genre.
Alas, Malloy – who considers himself a “connoisseur of dad jokes” – can crack wise with the best of them so we asked him for a few more. Here are some of his favorites. Oh, and look closely at the photo: he’s got some St. Patrick’s Day Dad Jokes embedded in there.
