Dad-Life Balance Podcast

When you have a party for your kids and invite all your friends and their kids, what’s the first thing you do when the party starts? Why can you never seem to talk to anyone for more than 30 seconds? And how to you handle when your expectations for your kids are different from other parents? We also have some birthday-themed trivia, as we celebrate TJ’s son’s second birthday!

[SPOILER ALERT! WE SAW THE MOVIE AND DISCUSS THE PLOT! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!]

With episode 20 of the Dad-Life Balance Podcast, we have almost as many episodes as there are installments in the MCU (and let’s be honest, even most of the Avengers don’t know what happened in Thor: The Dark World). What do 3 dad’s think about the equally ambitious task of wrapping up 10 years of development in one 3-hour epic, and how does it compare to a cranky toddler bedtime?

On this holiday quick hit, the guys discuss the springtime celebration of Tiger winning the Masters, oh, and Easter. They discuss family traditions, favorite candy, and tackle some new trivia questions.

We rejoin the conversation between Kenny, T.J., and their dads as they share some favorite memories and sage advice, some of which may sound awfully familiar. Kenny finally brings in some trivia, but can they stump the men who taught them everything they know?

What is the difference in being a dad, and being a grand-dad? That’s just one of the questions Kenny and T.J. had for their own fathers, Jim and Tom, when they sat down to talk about parenting, work-life balance, sports, and many other topics in the first of two episodes.

When you’re a parent, TV falls into 2 categories, the kind you watch when the kids are asleep (Game of Thrones, Chicago — Fill in the blank—, etc.) and the kind you let the kids watch so you can have a minute of peace (Sesame Street, Tayo the Little Bus, et al.). What are the shows that you choose? And what is it about sneaking adult humor into kids movies?

The guys put their kids to bed and went out to see the newest installment in the MCU: Captain Marvel. How does the 21st entry stack up? How will 3 dads with toddlers stay awake through the end credits scenes? And how many bad dad jokes will they tell along the way?

The band is back together again, as both TJ and Ken are behind the mic for this one. Ken discusses the changes in sleep habits now that he’s got 2 kids running around, and how things have adjusted at home. TJ’s son is going to be starting swim lessons and soccer, which brought up the question: What kind of sports parent are you going to be? They close out the episode with some more trivia.

Kenny’s back from podcast paternity leave, and joins Kevin to talk about Valentine’s Day and introducing kids to social media. When would (or did) you give your kid their first device? How do you share pictures of your children? And we close out the show with Kenny’s trademarked Dad Joke of the Week.

Ken sends in another dispatch from the crib and T.J. and Kevin discuss the differences between raising boys and girls, and whether there really should be much of a difference at all.
