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
Checking Into Hotel California
The Dads are drinking a West Coast Style IPA called 107' IPA, with a 6.0% ABV from Hidden Sands Brewing Company. Both agree that the beer is a very tasty and bold beer with a lot of depth to the flavor. The show then proceeds to the weekly catch-up where Josh talks about how cold it has been for him at work and finally getting his hands on 2023-2024's version of 4Lokos. Meanwhile, Rich talks about his new job and how he's the Podcast Battles Champion.
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 22, They Are Always Listening. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
Much like a mental health check, checking in with your partner enhances your ability to not only be a better parent, a better partner, but a better person. Checking in with your partner, and your family for that fact, will emphasize the importance to your children that mentally checking in with each other is critical to a healthy relationship – not only a parent to child but a partner to partner relationship as well. Join us tonight as we delve into the subject of a mental health check with you and your family.
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.
