The Dad Tapes
Two guys. Two cousins. Two best friends. Most importantly, two fathers. Both have vastly different experiences, differing backgrounds, points of views, hobbies and careers. With our box of tapes, we're looking to create and educational and vulnerable platform for parents alike, with both hosts sharing stories, experiences and takes on a subject without it coming across like you, the listener, are being coached on "how you're doing this wrong" or "you need to do it how we tell you to do it". Instead, we share our stories in hopes others can gain from them without being told how to interpret what you hear. We're not experts. We're not preaching. We're just discussing one on one with each other growing our own bond in hopes that our growth will allow others to grow too. These are our Dad Tapes.

Passing On The Rites
Another brew from their friends at the Baddie Daddie Podcast, this week the Dads are drinking an Imperial IPA named Pliny The Elder, which is brewed by Russian River Brewing Company located in the Santa Rosa, CA area. The show then begins with the weekly catch-up, where Rich talks about his rabbit passing away and having to confront the questions presented to him and his wife by their son; meanwhile Josh has been sampling the dating pool again with an apparent catch on his line -- let's see how this one goes.
The show then transitions to An Aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled January 9, Protect This Great Invention. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
Bat & Bar Mitzvahs, Vision Quests and the First Kill Ceremony, Quincenera, and so many other forms of ceremonial graduation from childhood to adulthood – or at least the ability to start to make decisions morally and ethically – on one’s own. Tonight, we’re going to spend time discussing the importance of rites of passage and how those rites of passage continue through your life – from childhood progressing to adulthood, from adulthood to fatherhood, from fatherhood to grandparent, and every other rite of passage life provides us.
After an exchange of some in-depth conversation and questions, the show progresses to their "Shit-uations". Tonight's Shit-uations has Josh reading blurbs from FML.com.
