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.

Lines In The Sand
Due to some dental issues with Josh, the Dads are drinking random beverages -- Rich will be drinking a Heineken while Josh is drinking a Green Tea Monster. Didn't know that was even a thing? Whatever. The show then kicks off with the weekly catchup where Josh talks about his tooth issues and talks about how busy and annoying work has been. Does it ever change for him? Meanwhile, Rich talks about work being busy and how his kids are giving his wife a run for her money while he's at work over the weekends. Send her some help...
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 24, When You Get Them To Listen. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
We have all heard that expression before, “this is my line in the sand’. Yet, we never really think about how that metaphor can be used in every facet of everyday life. It can be used to define your boundaries with your significant other; it can be used to establish boundaries with your children; it can be used to establish your boundaries with work. Tonight, we’re going to discuss what lines we create within our families and what we do to reinforce those boundaries.
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.
