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
Presence Is Presents
This week, the Dads are drinking a Kane Brewing Company beer, which is located out of Ocean, NJ, and the beer of choice tonight is their 5.4% ABV American Pale Ale called Sneakbox. The show then proceeds to the weekly catch-up, where Rich handles some fantasy football beef with The Baddie Daddies, and talks about the Christmas joys the Holly Jolly Red-suited man brought his kids. Josh talks some smack on Danny from the Baddie Daddies and then talks about the gifts Addi got this Christmas.
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 21, What Are They Learning From How You Carry Yourself. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
With the holidays behind us, we can sit back and reflect on those moments and even reminisce on older memories. It can be easily agreed that all of those memories, for most people, involve the element of presence. No, not the gift present but the mindset and physical action of being present. Tonight, we’re going to focus on our own presence for our children, removing ourselves by distractions and how it can have rippling impacts.
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.
