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.
The Dad Tapes
It's A Boy!
This week the Dads are trying a pilsner called Post Shift, which has an ABV of 4.7% and is from Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, located in Framingham, MA. Both Dads agree this is a crisp light Pilsner, and noted that Pilsners aren't drank enough on the show. They then progress to the weekly cathc-up where Rich actually asks Josh some engaging questions so it's not a copy+paste section anymore.
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 14, Where Do They Learn To Judge? Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
You receive the information with a picture and a text, or a surprise in person by your partner. You realize your life is changing, whether you’re prepared for it, whether you planned for it, none of that matters in those moments as you’re told you’re going to become a father. Tonight, we relive those moments with each other and dissect the life-changes, albeit some larger and more impacting than others.
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.
