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
Lost Art of Dad Friends
This week starts with the Dads cracking a nice cold Poolside, which is a Mexican Lager from Tonewood Brewing, in Barrington, NJ. It's a 5.2% ABV and both Dads agree this is a perfect, toned-down Modelo but not a Modelo -- if that makes sense... Next week we will be rating the beer on a 0-5 scale, so we can reference our Untappd.com profile for all of our beer rankings. Then the weekly catchup where a silly question gets thrown around just before the show progresses.
The show then transitions to An Aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled 'February 5th, Make Sure They Know That They Are Plenty'. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
This week, the Dads talk about friendships -- what it was like before kids, what it's like after kids and how they maintain friends through fatherhood.
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.
