A Tribe Called Dad

Aging sucks...and we're not even THAT old. We break down the things that are breaking down with us as gracefully aging dads. Spider talks about his "itises" - tendonitis, tinnitus and Hapa shares his vision issues and inability to lose weight as easily as he used to. Our apologies on this being slightly depressing, but hopefully all of the Dads out there can relate and sympathize!

Family trips can be incredibly stressful and with Spring Break here, we felt like it would be helpful for us to share our tips on how to keep your sanity while traveling with kids, your spouse, your in-laws, your family, or all of the above. Spider also shares his tip on magic mushrooms to stay healthy and the guys talk about keeping the momentum up to avoid getting sick. In true, ATCD fashion, the DJ dads also come up with a spontaneous idea to create “Family Yearbooks” and print physical copies of photo albums from your photos on IG and the ability to gift family and friends - genius!

We’ve both spent quite a bit of time in nightclubs and bars dealing with drunk patrons stuttering, demanding requests, and wild dance moves. In this episode, we explore how are young children remind us of these moments in the club.

There isn’t really a Dad Olympics…YET! In this episode, we brainstorm about what events SHOULD be in the Dad Olympics including installing a car seat in a coupe time trials, carrying a 5 year old plus luggage and bags through an airport to try and make a flight, swaddling contests and more!

Top 3 things that we hate about kids birthday parties including the timing, the lack of good food choices, the horrible awkward conversations with annoying, inappropriate or down right weird parents.

We also talk about our kids obsession with wanting to do things perfectly and how we address embracing and celebrating mistakes with our young ones.

In this episode, we share our Top 3 Apps that are helpful to have on your phones, iPads, tablets, phablets and so on and so on. We cover everything from noise machines for newborns or toddlers (or yourself) to good ol Netflix and much much more. What are apps you can't live without? Hit us up and let us know!

In this episode, we center the Top 3 around movies that are great for your kids, but won’t have you falling asleep or wanting to pull your hair out. We also come up with another brilliant scheme of trying to develop some sort of “family pass” for parents to be able to take their kids to the movies in a more affordable way. We find out about Hapa’s fear of E.T., touch on the different father/son and father/daughter dynamic, and the new bling Jude (6) is now rocking around his neck.

A couple episodes ago we told you about some "bad buys" for our kids... On this episode we wanted to let you know about some "good buys" we have made in the past. From Treasure X to Sound Machines we cover all types of stuff that have been good for our kids, as well as learn that some companies gift expensive toilets to people (Toto where you at?!) and that you can return humus to Costco. Tune in to hear it all and hit us up - @atribecalleddad on instagram

By popular demand, we are returning with another Top 3 of the songs our kids are singing along to that we wish they wouldn’t. We touch on everything from The Crazy Frog to Drake to “I’ll pull down your underwear…” We also answer a question from a fellow DJ dad who asked what we think of the current state of hip hop music. Tune in to see what we answer along with what our Top 3s are!

We wanted to let you know what mistakes we have made so you don’t fall into the trap of buying some crap you don’t need! In this episode we talk about how a cardboard box or toys from a dollar store is usually a better buy than any of this other stuff out there…but somehow we still continue to buy everything from play kitchens to Nintendo DS. We also chat about how we feel about being censored about what we play at parties and do a Superbowl themed “Win of The Week”.
