Keeping things fun is hard and it’s especially hard to keep things fun when things get hard.

This week we discuss a few of the different ways we have tried to keep things fun for kids and ourselves while the stress of COVID-19 has been affecting us all.

Kane also has a big announcement.

When it comes to COVID-19 children have been having just as hard a time as parents and it’s important to try and remain engaged as much as possible despite how draining this is.

Kids are harder than a job, but they are the most important job.

Is the modern man a hunter or a gentleman? A manual labourer or a technophile? In today's culture the modern man usually is a mix of many things. The modern man must be adaptable.

Gender roles are changing and blending together and the stay-at-home dad or part time dad population is growing.

More fathers than ever are participating in their children's nurturing and upbringing.

The thing is that fathers and mothers come into the parenting process differently though. For the mother, the connection is biological. It's a part of her.

Fathering, on the other hand, is less so. Therefore, it's important for men to learn the skills they need to be a good dad. For some guys it's more intuitive, like kicking a football, but most guys need a coach or some direction.

DADDY EATS LAST discusses what it means to be a man and a father in modern society and all the issues that comes with both.

Let’s face it – things are unusual right now. If you’re not a permitted worker, you’re stuck at home (and it's the safest place to be).

Fortunately, you can still stay social without actually being in the same room

Kane & Ryan catch up with Neo and Hendrik for their periodic Zoom Drinks session.

It’s of the utmost importance that we do our best to stay at home right now, especially in Victoria.

While staying in has officially become our civic duty, it leaves our social life a little worse for wear.

We catch up every month or so for Zoom Drinks just to see how each of us is doing.

It's even more important when we are all living through COVID-19

Having entered Stage 4 COVID-19 restrictions in Victoria Kne and his partner discuss what this means for them and their life.

They chat about:

- what no kinder means for their little boy

- what home kinder might look like

- their perspectives on TV

- how to maintain adult time (not in that way)

- will alcohol intake increase

- what time we they are going to go to bed (not in that way)

- how to combine all of that with working together in a business.

It's a really useful yet fun episode.

Melbourne is in Lockdown V2.0 and it is a little strange to see people all getting around with a mask on all of the time.

 

It's important during all of this that parents maintain a little kid space so their kids can still maintain some level of their childhood without it being entirely ruined by COVID19.

We all have too much stuff. Too many things to do. 

Busy being busy.

Buying stuff just because we can.

You don't have to do this.

You can overcome the natural tendency to focus on unimportant urgent activities.

You can overcome the natural tendency to focus on more and better stuff.

This week we discuss our approaches to minimising the unimportant...and also discuss COVIDIOTS.

Music plays a big part in our lives and it should in fact research has proven that when you listen to music you like, your brain releases dopamine (which makes you feel good).

On this weeks episode we discuss:

- what music we listen to

- how much music we listen to

- whether the music we have listened to has changed

- what gigs we have been to over the years

As well as one of us belts out a tune after losing a bet......it's worth a listen.

COVID-19 restrictions are back in Victoria (where Kane lives) but on the back of the interview with Creesh on his anxiety and stress Kane and the family had already got away for a week away from screens.

So this week Kane ponders:

1. How driving somewhere is different for kids to when he was a kid.

2. That everyone has a platform/microphone these days means there is so much noise.

3. Why getting away from the noise is important.

4. How to stop COVID-19 (no he doesn't have a vaccine).

This week we have a special guest interview. Matty's good friend Creesh.

The reason we have Creesh on is that last year he went through quite a rough patch in his life and he has very generously offered to tell us his story of what happened and when he knew he wasn't OK.

We discuss:

1. When he noticed that he wasn't feeling OK.

2. How he got help and what that help looked like.

3. What does recovery look like....if it can be called recovery.

Remember to ask your friends if they are doing OK, especially if you think something is up.

Also remember we all need a bit of help sometimes. If you need help, ask.
