For this week's DadChat, Francis speals with Chris James (@theCJS) of the Guys Podcast about his experiences in parenting a newborn.

DadChat: Newborn Edition feat. Chris James

Note: this DadChat was recorded back in March right before Nate had a family emergency, so if it seems out-of-date it’s due to that. For this week’s DadChat, Nate and Francis discuss the perennial question of ‘when is it the correct time to have a kid?’ And the answer is: whenever the circumstances work for you, but there’s always something happening that makes it a challenge. And once it happens you will never sleep normally again.  Like Hell of a Way?

DadChat: Is There a Perfect Time to Have a Kid? No

For this week’s DadChat, Nate and Francis examine just what would constitute an ‘I remember the 2000s’ cultural encapsulation. As someone who literally owned an ‘All Your Base Are Belong to Us’ shirt (Nate) and a guy who experienced the red ring of death on an Xbox 360 (Francis), we simply know the source material too well. Also in this episode: Nate having to wage war against the British postal service because one guy apparently has the power to send your mail to the bottom of the ocean if he doesn’t want to load a heavy package on a truck.   Like Hell of a Way?
