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
Eye Of The Tiger
This week the Dads are drinking a 6.5% ABV New England IPA called Super C from Glasstown Brewery Company, which is located in Millville, NJ. The verdict is still out on this brew for Rich but Josh had completely changed his perspective on it after getting some bubble guts -- but it definitely WASN'T the beer. The show then progresses to the weekly catch-up, where Rich talks about Brigitte and an infection she's dealing with and then lays into Josh for misleading him on some bad gaming leak information. Meanwhile, Josh talks about his sister getting engaged, talks about more work and talks about how he's blessed to get Addi for 3 weekends in a row.
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 28, Let 'Em See You Work. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
With the coming change of seasons, winter into spring, it’s a relatively good time to talk about the competitive nature of sports and how we as parents influence our children with sports. Join us tonight as we look into the topic of youth sports and the side effects of the sport itself and the effects parents have on their children when involved in sports.
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.
