Hi Podcast! I'm Dad.

Welcome to the Dad Table! Pull up a chair, sit by the fire, and crack a cold one. Today were hanging with some fellow dad's and shooting the breeze talking about a little of everything while drilling down on how being a father has changed us. Come and relax with us for a bit, before the wives and children tell us to come inside and rejoin the party. P.S apologies for audio quality this was rec...

"Parents just don't understand", "Kids these days with their music and tv" and many other phrases we have all heard countless times. Bridging the gap between generations and more specifically between parents and children is hard. Throw in entire media cultures that seem alien and mutually exclusive to both parties and your asking for misunderstanding. "Man, I sure do l...

Sometimes where you end up is not where you thought you were going.... and funny enough that's exactly what happened this episode. We wanted to alk about how fatherhood has changed us as men, and somehow, we ended up wandering through our past and making connections to our present. There is probably some deep philosophical point there about the cyclical nature of life and how to know where you...

Now see here, I know we spoke about discipline before..... but lets be honest we all knew that one episode is not enough for such a complicated topic. Today with the help of special guest "CK Preparatory" we hit the metaphorical dance floor to talk about discipline once again, this time though we'll home in on the giant red stomping elephant in the room that is anger. We all experien...

Welcome to the Maze of Masculinity: do you go left, right, forward, backward, up or down? Truth is, no one knows the right direction. Men have been trying to navigate their way through this maze since the beginning of time, and if you're a dad don't worry there's a whole subsection of the maze specifically for you known as the Dungeon of Dad-ness. The problem with the maze is we're...

The towering totem pole of testosterone looms large over all men and fathers. It is the measuring stick we stand on our tippy-toes up against to try and be that much more masculine then the next guy. We all do it even if we don't realize it, but why? No one is asking us to be the apex man standing atop all masculinity like a silverback gorilla on top of the mountain, are they? We have decided...

....Well that umm...... that got kind of dark there, but i think it took us to an interesting place we can learn from. With that said episode 6 Part 1 is in our rear view and this spaceship is taking off without looking back to take us to Episode 6 part 2. Were on the look out for new type of geometry to fit our new thoughts on expectations into, new ways to arrange the expectations we have and fi...

We all have expectations of ourselves, of others, of our kids. Your probably expecting me to make this description a little wacky and funny, this time around though I will be subverting those expectations. The conversation tonight centers around an anecdote that Frank the Tank tells. This one gets a little heavy and will challenge you to really take the topic to heart. This is also a two part epis...

Its time to discuss the elephant in the room. The glowing cathode ray tube (or LED or Plasma screen) of moving pictures that parents trust their kids to watch and in turn watch their kids. The famous third parent of the modern age, the TV and its slanderous and hurtful depictions of fathers through the years. In reality how often can media depict a father as a bumbling ball of idiocy before childr...

Crash! Boom! Splat! This is all you hear before running into the kitchen to find your child has somehow opened the fridge and pulled out a shelf. Now your kitchen is covered with the remains of an unidentified leftover over meal. Now, here is the fun part do you: A. Grab the belt and let fly the justice of a good ass whooping B. Place the child in time out C. Calmly explain to the child what they...

Ahh the big box hardware store, we have grills, tools, lawn equipment, and all the building materials a dad could ever want. Its pure distilled fatherly happiness in a warehouse............ or is it. Why do fathers find their happiness in these "dad" things, is it some intrinsic trait of fatherhood? Or did we just trick ourselves into believing that the traditional "dad" stuff is what makes us hap...

One day you wake up and you're wearing cheap running shoes, you have a pair of grill tongs in your hands, and you feel the irresistible urge to tell really bad puns to people. It's too late at this point - the process of becoming your dad has already begun. Now your only options are to accept it or rage against your fate (or anything else really, I'm just an episode description not your boss). Reg...

Welcome to Episode 1! We have no Idea what we're doing, but we're ready to have fun, ask some questions, tell some jokes, and maybe find a few nuggets of knowledge along the way. We intended to talk about finding time as a father in this episode, so lets see how that turned out.
