Deconstructing Dad Podcast

Dan is thinking about getting a Vasectomy. Jay recently got one. What better time than now then to relive the horror of it all. We're 6 weeks out since Jay had one, so after dropping off his sample he shares the good the bad and the very ugly of it all.

We are also both in relationships. We've got kids. They've got kids. Small discussions have begun, in different ways, of how we are going about blending our families.

Before we go, we give shoutouts to the Dad's that have recently come on and shared their stories with us and to the Maier's from the excellent podcast called "How Was Your Week Honey"!

Blogger Tom Briggs best known from his Diary of the Dad Blog, joins Dan and Ginger to discuss fatherhood. Are things done differently across da pond? What's it like managing a successful #DadBlog, especially once it becomes your main job. We recall the days of getting grounded as kids and getting the cable TV taken away. Now when we ground our kids, you have to amputate them!

See ya next week!

Jay and Dan have our first guest on the show. We discuss Blending Families, race, stereotypes, mixing cultures and chasing your dreams while being a stay at home/working father.

We take a break from releasing our banked episodes and jump in with an episode that took place just days ago!

Dan has been a home owner for months now and you wouldn't believe the crap he went through to buy the house and then it gets down right gross when he moves in!

Ginger's Son inherits his love for Batman comics and almost kills him playing football. Getting old sucks! Ginger also swears by a good night's sleep and cold showers!

In this episode, Ginger struggles to deal with his children's anxiety and depression. Two of them visit the hospital, but it's not like it was when he was a kid. It's accepted. It's talked about. It might just be the cool thing to do among their peers? Another overcomes her anxiety and pandemic fears only to be treated like absolute crap for no reason at all. Dad wants to go killer bear, but the kid was smart enough.. or at least too upset enough to talk about it till the coast was clear. Sternly worded voicemails have been left. The hunt is on!

Jay the Angry Ginger gets a new podcast mixer and is elated! Dan is selling his house and is a bit anxious.

We discuss how the holiday treated us and prepare ourselves for what's to come in the future.

Hey Look kids, the Dad's are baaaaaack!!!!

Whilst cleaning out the garage, Jay The Angry Ginger discovers a corpse the haunts him. Dan shares his many Family "Holiday" Traditions and makes Jay feel like less of a Father.

We discuss a documentary that causes us to have a Social Dilemma and we promise to be back next week with more of us... from the past but keep listening and we'll all catch up together!

The holidays are coming up. Dan is selling his house. He fills us in on what it was like to work the election. We both have separate COVID scares and Ginger to find meaning... not really.

It's been a few months since the last episode. Come catch up with us!

Topics:

Using our time better now that there is no commute time to work and back. Finding a different normal. Exercising the smart way once you admit to getting older. Dealing with the emotional residue after losing a parent. Remodel or move?

Ginger's house gets a triple kitten invasion. The neighborhood bear can no longer eat my children and Dan's neighborhood bear is no raccoon!

Masks, where to wear them and why? Are kids adapting to this new trendy lifestyle and ladies... Laugh at your man's jokes!
