  • Episode 11: Pre-Corona Throwback! Dentists, Dad-Bods and Disney
    Hey scrappers, before everything went haywire with COVID-19, we had recorded a regular ol' Dad Scrap chat. We wanted to share that with you now, in hopes that maybe it'll take your mind off the current moment and remind you of the delightfully small headaches that are just around the bend. Or are they? Who knows?
    We hope you all are well and safe.
    The recipe for this episode is from Bon Appetít: https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/weeknight-pad-thai
    Thanks -- Matt, Mark and John

  • Episode 10: Pod Families
    On this special episode, Matt contemplates joining a family pod, a small group of like-minded families vowing to self-isolate with one another during the COVID-19 pandemic. Current members of their own family pod, Mark and John help him weigh the decision. Plus, the guys briefly reminisce about the 2004 film, The Aviator.

  • Episode 5: Bathing, Breakfast and How to Keep Your Friends
    It's Dad Scraps with John Lavelle, Matt Hobby and Mark Saul. We're three dads, all trying to figure out how to be good parents. A "dad scrap" is the leftover food on your kid's plate that you eat, because ...well, there's no good reason not to eat it.
    In each episode, we each bring a topic that we've been wanting to talk about and hear other opinions or ideas about. In this episode, we talk about why breakfast is the hardest meal for kids, how much bathing is too much bathing, and how to hold on to your friends that don't become parents.
    We also make a meal each week and see how many dad scraps we got. This week, we all made this recipe from Martha Stewart: https://www.marthastewart.com/319536/panko-breaded-fish-sticks
