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
U Ok Bro?
The Dads are cracking another Icarus Brewing beer, which is located in Lakewood, NJ. The beer tonight is their Das Beste, which is a German Style Kolsch Ale with a 5.0% ABV. After an initial 'bleh' review, the beer definitely wears itself onto both dads and they finally rank it in the upper half of their 49 beers. The show then progresses to the weekly catch-up, where Josh shares he's thankful his abundance of weekends with Addi has taken a short hiatus as she's getting sassier than ever -- in addition, he's going to be stepping into a different career of which he has a lot of familiarity with. Meanwhile, Rich gives an update about his son's speech, about more work things and how he's stepping up in his career as well.
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 29, Make Your Household First. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
We’ve all been told to “walk it off” when we have gotten an injury and told to “suck it up, you’ll be okay”. What were we actually doing when we were told to do that as kids? Tonight, we’re going to discuss what we reinforce our children in doing when we tell them to “walk it off”, the effects negating how a child feels in the moment and how we can alter our strong approach to allowing a softer discussion.
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.
