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.

Living For Eternity (Or Until The Kids Move Out)
After a couple wee's of some family issues, the Dads record in the dad-cave again but this week with a nice IPA from The Alchemist Brewery from Stowe, VT. The beer they had was a cold, crisp Double IPA called Heady Topper with a 8.0% ABV. Both Dads agree it's a solid 4.25 despite the heaviness. The weekly catch-up starts with Josh disclosing some medical issues that have been plaguing his household. Then Richard discloses some medical stuff that has occurred to him as well. Oh the irony. I guess that's why the bums couldn't record last week -- or the week before. Shmucks.
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 6th, It Takes Discipline'. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.
Tonight, Dads, we’re diving deep into some philosophical territory. We’re asking a pretty heavy question: what in your life is truly worth of eternity? And if you’re not living the life you want to live, how do you make that change? We’re drawing inspiration from dead philosophers who figured this stuff out centuries ago.
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.
