Special Episode: The Dad Table

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 recorded outside by a fire several feet from a very loud AC unit)

Episode 10: Video Memories - Dadding in the Era of Television

"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 love Space Jam, LeBron was great in the movie". "LeBron? don't you mean Michael Jordan?!" etc. etc. etc. But what if instead of letting the cultural divide, divide us from relating with our children and parents we instead use our media experiences to form lasting memories and shared cultural touchstones. Today we jump into this topic and try to see if this path is viable based on our own experiences. whether or not it works at least we will have the memories, right?

Episode 9: A tale of two wolves - Meandering down Memory Lane

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're going you need to know where you have been, but were just two guys speaking off the cuff so well leave the deep thoughts to you to sift through. I will say though that when you start talking about memroies and somehow end up realzing you want to live your life using an analogy about two wolves living inside of you, well then that was a good conversation worth at least a listen.

Episode 8: Dancing with Discipline on Angry Feet

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 experience it, we all know it, and we all fail to control it on occasion, so what part if any does anger play in how we discipline. Is it a positive, a negative, neutral, or a non-factor? I'm not sure anyone in the world knows the definitive answer but we're sure as hell going to pick at it until we're at least satisfied with the points we make. With that being said, if poking the big red angry elephant in the room results in it being even angrier, well we're going to poke it anyway for our amusement and yours. So, sit back, relax grab a drink and wander down this winding trail with us.

Episode 7 Part 2: The Maze of Masculinity

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 all stuck in here, and most of us don't realize it. Everyone's trying to find out what it means to be a man using advice from others in the maze, but we all just wind up being the blind leading the blind. Spoiler alert, your two faithful hosts here are in the maze too so don't expect a path to the exit from us. Just maybe though, we can help map out these cantankerous corridors a bit so that one day someone will find the exit and let the rest of mankind know how to get there.
