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
Don't Worry Dad
This week the Dads cracked open a couple of Tonewood Brewing Company, located in. Barrington, NJ. These Pale Ales, called Trail Beer, have a 5.2% ABV and is a real treat. Both dads agree this beer is meant for a camp site, a camp fire and a day on the trails -- hence the name and both agree it's a very befitting name. The show then progesses to the weekly catch-up, where Josh is happy the tooth infection is gone but then discloses he spends just as much time on Xbox as he does at work. I hope he's making money killing those sweats... Meanwhile, Rich still hasn't sold anything -- how can he be a salesman who doesn't sell?
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 25, How To Deter Them. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
Fathers often encounter significant life changes that can impact them and their families. Common challenges include job loss, divorce, and relocation. To navigate these changes, fathers should remain resilient, communicate openly with their children, maintain normalcy, and seek support. Additionally, fathers may have apprehensions about future changes such as the empty nest, retirement, health issues, and death. It is important for fathers to acknowledge and address these concerns to ensure their well-being and the stability of their families. Join us tonight as we delve deep into this topic.
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.
