Daddy's Silly Bedtime Stories

The time that Avi and Abuela had someone come into their house to take off all of the popcorn ceiling, and then in the process of doing this, something happened that really terrified the guy doing the work.... and I still have the original souvenir from that day in our shed here in SF!

A two-part special event with the "Primas" (Sara & Camila), involving their (near) origin stories that in a bizarre way involve viewing episodes of "Breaking Bad". In Part 2, we find Sara interacting with the audio in a very peculiar way during the season finale of season 4.....Maybe we'll learn to keep the volume a tad bit lower.....

A two-part special event with the "Primas" (Sara & Camila), involving their (near) origin stories that in a bizarre way involve viewing episodes of "Breaking Bad". In Part 1, we find Tia Maria at a very memorable episode that she just can't (but SHOULD have) turned off, given the circumstances....

In the holiday spirit, this one is about the time that I (Kino) really stepped it up and really thought long & hard about what to get Tia Christine, and it was really late at night when an infomercial gave me inspiration... and it was to help cleaning!

This one is about the time that I took a piano lesson, the very first lesson I ever took, and then pondered what would happen next.... A special guest appearance by 'the primas', Sara & Camila on this one.

This one is about Avi (that's Kino's Dad, or the kids granddad) when he was driving across the country when he was a young man with very limited English, looking for a place to rest....A special guest appearance by 'the primas', Sara & Camila on this one.

The time I (and Tia Maria) set up a 'trap' to see Santa on Christmas Eve

The time I went deep sea fishing on our friend Armon's bday, and it became quite odd that no one was catching any fish... except for me... when I caught something very peculiar. Another special guest appearance by the Bretl family (this time recorded over breakfast involving pancakes)!

The time when I/we were 8 (I think), and we decided it would be funny to say hi to my mom.... from the top of Scott's house. Special guest appearance by the Bretl family!

Ahhh a classic. I may not be remembering all the details correctly (what else is new), but the punchline for sure (and it really was memorable for us all)

Turns out when you're a kid, it's really fun to see how far you can fling your shoe off your foot... we came up with a name for this. I challenge my sisters to see if they can still do it for distance

The time that Uncle Greg played a prank on Abuela by stealing her go-to phrase when answering the phone

As we pull into October, Liam has a few stories of his own that he wants to share. In fact, he's convinced that he has his own podcast and will be angry if this is not posted on his direct feed. So please don't tell him, just enjoy his story that he made up.

It was New Years Eve, and I was getting ready to head out to a party with friends, and then something weird happened as I walked to the kitchen....

Story about the time we were touring the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, walking along the massive towers, and a bit of drama unfolded before our eyes

The time we went to a double feature including "Top Gun", and at some point during that movie Tia Maria got really immersed in the movie.

The time that I got locked in my room before the 1st day of work in 2009 (after moving to S.F.)

A classic story about the time an absolutely awful excuse was made while playing basketball with Scott W.... a good lesson for those out there making terrible excuses when playing a game. This one also has a 'cold read' advertisement for Cousin Anna's very VERY specific babysitting services in Schull, Ireland!

Highlights of easily one of the worst Thanksgivings ever where nothing seemed to go right

The time that Daddy accidently drove a rental car onto an Irish golf course, and more trouble followed

Completely fictional story about Abuela and the Great Pumpkin, told to try and keep Liam busy, errrr entertained, while dinner was being prepared. Liam has lots of feelings about Abuela and this story in this one....

A 4th of July (belated) story where I played with fireworks without my parents present and got into trouble. Specials guests include our Irish cousins who were a part of several episodes in March!

Yes, another long story where Liam takes over the podcast and tells his own story about his dream from the night before. The ramblings of a 3-year old who really wants his own podcast is on full display here.

This one is about the time we visited Spain when Maggie was 7 months old, and we were all staying at a kids campground that had canoes and a very unique lake (islesia de sant roma de sau)

Another bonus episode: Liam talks about a dream involving his cousin Ona from Spain
