But Daddy Why

WARNING: If you haven't had the Santa Claus talk with you kids this episode may not be suitable for them.

As long as there has been a Jolly old Saint Nicholas, there has also been Krampus. Originally Krampus played the role of "Bad Cop" to Saint Nick's "Not quite as bad cop"; but as time has wore on Krampus has become lost to the annals of history while Saint Nick has evolved into that ripe Jolly old elf we all know as Santa Claus.  So who is this Krampus and why is it such a good idea to stay off Saint Nick's naughty list? Never fear, Pat and Eric have you covered with answers to those questions and more!  Listen up for your crash course on Krampus lore!

Ever look at Saturn and wonder why it has rings or are you still confused about why you grew up in a solar system with nine planets but kids today are growing up in one with only eight?  Pat and Eric have your back so you can answer mostly accurately why Saturn has rings and why Pluto is no longer considered a planet.  Plus they talk a little Greek/Roman mythology.

So clearly 30 mins was not enough for Pat and Eric to talk about the wonder that is the Chicago Style Hot Dog.  Here is a bonus out take in which they talk about how the hot dog is eaten in other parts of the United States.

The Chicago-style hot dog is an institution, Pat and Eric are both hardcore enthusiasts of this tube meat delicacy.  There are many ways you can eat a hot dog... there is only one right way.  In this episode you will learn why the Chicago-style hot dog is the correct way.  You will also learn why ketchup/catsup is a garbage condiment... spoiler... mushrooms are involved.

This is a bonus out-take,  It didn't make the cut for the last episode, but we thought it was good enough to share, and hopefully tide you over until the next episode of But Daddy Why!

Ever wonder where cities get their nicknames?  Pat and Eric did so the did a little research to give you the skinny on "The Windy City", "The Big Easy", and "The Big Apple".  Two of them are related... the other one has it's origin in an awful contest to win another nickname related to swine.  Dust off your headphones it's time for another episode of But Daddy Why!

Episode15: This one has idioms... all of the idioms... ok not all of the idoms more like 5-6 idoms.  In this episode Pat and Eric share some of their favorite idioms, their meanings, and the stories behind them.  They also answer a few listener questions about idoms as well.  All in all not a bad way to kill some time.

Episode 14 is finally here! Pat and Eric are going to tell you what thunder really is and how it happens. Then they will tell you a bunch of crazy stuff we used to believe about thunder. They’ll throw in a horse spider for good measure… and there will be some Thundercats references, Listen up… you know you want to!

Episode 13 wasn't happening without a fight... In this episode Pat and Eric are forced to embrace their triskaidekaphobia...

Ever watch the movie Dumbo or look at a greeting card and wonder what the stork has to do with the the proceess of childbirth.  Never fear Pat and Eric are ready to break down the the Stork theory of child birth for you.  Along the way they are going to coin the term "Cowardly Parenting"... you probably don't want to fit into that category.  So hear is the deal... this episode is about sex... you have been warned!  They will be talking about that special hug that mommies and daddies do to invite the stork into their home.
