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
Fresh Off The Press
For the first time in two months, The Dads finally make the time to meet up and record -- about f**king time! This time, the dads are cracking open a brew from Schenker Beer Company, which are located in North Haven, CT. The specific brew tonight is call Watermelon Glow Up, which is a Berliner Weisse-style ale. Both dads agree that the beer is a very odd-tasting beer at first but tends to grow on you slowly. By the end, both had finished so that must count for something? The show then progresses to the 'Catch-up' portion where both dads discuss some serious situations that have happened to them over the last two months -- some of which are the reason they haven't been able to meet up.
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 31, You Don't Stop Teaching Your Kids. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
In a critical moment of life-altering changes, no matter how severe or detrimental they may be, the idea of just using someone to vent to is one of the crucial valves we as men need to own up to more often. Tonight, we’re going to talk about just that very topic while we both do that exact thing with each other.
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.
