Tough Conversations - Dad Edition

This week, DB and I talk about something most dads will deal with at some point or another, the loss of the family pet and how to break the news to the kids. Also who handles it better, the kids or the parents?  We also dive into Trey turning 16 and how to handle the transition from boyhood to manhood, from a fathers perspective. This is a tough one and of course, we dont have all the answers but we are figuring it out day by day!  We then get into a throwback, an update on the JonBenet Ramsey case from over 25 years ago what is new there in regards to new DNA technology and how we, as fathers, can empathize with never letting go even over 25 years later.

Same Ish - Husband Edition

This week, DB and I sit down and rap about something that we both hold in the highest regard...being a husband.  We talk about how we both got there, DB being with his wife for 22 YEARS and me...well I am a 2 time marriage champion so listen to hear more about both of those stories. We also talk about how we think our kids will immolate our behavior with our wives with our spouses and if we are setting the best example and even how we have adjusted our own behavior along the way.  We end by talking about co-parenting and how to navigate that journey with one goal in mind.....THE KIDS!  DISCLAIMER: we are NOT marriage counselors so what has worked for us (or has not worked) might (or might not) work for you but we still hope you learn something from this one!

My Bigg(s) Adoption

This week we are joined by our good friend, Brent Biggs. We start off talking about Brents childhood, his parents, sports career, etc.  Then we dive into how Brent met his wife, Jessica, who had recently adopted THREE kids and how he navigated through going from NO kids to THREE kids at once. Not only with 3 kids, but three kids that had been in and out of several houses and how him and Jessica still handle each childs individual needs.  We end with Brent giving his one piece of advice that he would give an expectant father and it was some really good advice!  This is a very unique and powerful story, I promise you will want to hear this one!
