Odd Dad Out

Crossover Show!!

This week we are knocking out two birds with one stone. This week I'm sharing Episode 10 of the "Mom and Dad Cuss" podcast which I share with my wife. Since both shows were going to discuss our recent vacation, I figured why record separate shows at all?
We are back from our annual vacation to Texas. After executing what we feel has been our most successful vacation to date, we decided to share some of our road stories and tips for surviving the experience.
This year we drove the family van the 1100 miles from Surprise, AZ to Corpus Christi, TX to visit our families. With 4 small children it is obviously no easy task. We made it a point this year to have some sort of activity planned each day of the vacation in order to avoid the dreaded cabin fever that has plagued us in years past. One morning we were even forced to get our day started early by a fire alarm in our hotel. (false alarm by the way) But it was an overall highly successful vacation. and we definitely learned some things worth sharing this year.

Our Vacation Pro Tips:

-If you can stand to do it, driving is much more economical. Our total fuel cost round trip was less than the cost of a single plane ticket. With a family of 6 flying would have beyond broken our budget.
-Staying with family is always a handy was to save a bit on hotels. It also means you'll have a kitchen handy to have home cooked meals. This also helps reduce dependence on restaurants all the time.
-If staying in a hotel, look into getting an extended stay suite with a kitchen. They are typically a bit roomier and again having a kitchen severely reduces dependence on takeout. Considering the cost of dining out for every meal for a family of any size, the cost of the suite with kitchen is more than made up in the big picture.
-Put your vacation budget on a prepaid gift card (Visa, AMEX, MasterCard.) It's a great way to avoid overspending. We even separated out our projected gas budget for the trip on a second card to keep those funds safe from accidental spending.
-Consider purchasing solid shampoo for the trip. We use a variety sold by LUSH. It is easier to pack/ use/ travel with than bottles. And, if you are flying, you avoid the hassle of TSA security trouble over a bottle of shampoo.

This week I try out a new format including "BS From the News" "Storytime" and a podcast review segment.

BS From the News- George Zimmerman, has decided to put the gun he used to shoot Trayvon Martin up for auction.

Storytime- As much as I use profanity, it took an episode of Spongebob Squarepants to put into words my personal philosophy on how it really fits into modern language.

Podcast Reccomendation- Sanspantsradio.com
Rather than a single podcast, I give an overall assessment of the entire Sanspants Radio network of shows. In a nutshell, the entire crew is hilarious and, if you're any kind of nerd, they probably have a show for you.

Back from my break to move into our new house. We aren't totally settled in yet but we are at least in the new house. Just making this move reminded me of how much of an adventure moving is, and how much my pro skill at moving has dive bombed over the years.

It's a fun night with family. This week I am joined by my wife ReAnna, oldest sister MG (Raevyn Lunatic), her husband Derek (Rev. Knuckleface), and her son Glenn (Fabulous the 2nd.) For the occasion we cracked open a bottle of "God's Pillow" from the "Clockwork Chemists", and Angry Orchard "Iceman."
By the nature of our family, we just start talking about whatever comes to mind. Just because we have so much fun hanging out we went on for-ev-er... Topics ranged from our grandparents deaths to "Alf" to "Game of Thrones." Believe it or not the alcohol has nothing to do with our behavior. We are just like this when we get together. Enjoy!!

*Update: This is a corrected version of this episode. My sincerest apologies. Thank you to Andrew on Facebook for pointing out that the original episode cut off and restarted mid way *

I'm getting a little "Meta" this week. (Is that how you use that?) This week I'm taking on podcasting as a virus / addiction. I go from initial infection of the podcasting bug, to infecting others, to growing into the podcaster strain and replicating it and spreading to even more people. Whether you're just consuming or are creating, there is no escaping it. Once you've been infected with the podcast, there's no going back, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm just gonna say it, I suck at social Media. This week I explain my love/hate... mostly hate relationship with social media. From Myspace to Snapchat and everything in between, I am a millennial failure. I am also quite aware of the hypocrisy of sharing this podcast about hating social media to ALL my social media platforms. But hey, I have to spread the word somehow.

This week I tell the tale of my love for cooking and where it began. From burning my hands on a cookie sheet to making fresh pizza from scratch every week. Join me as I share one of my truly favorite things. It may not be the funniest story, but it's most definitely a piece of the puzzle that shaped this odd dad.

This week I think back on my childhood TV habits and talk about some of the shows I used to watch. Then I look at some of the shows that we share with our children now. From watching "Rugrats" to singing along with "RuPaul's Drag Race," our boys seem to have a pretty well rounded television exposure.

Automobile Rage

I'm back after a week off to deal with a severe case of "fucking tired" combined with a hint of "don't know what to talk about" to bring you this week's rant about cars. Specifically I'm talking about the stupidity of the "tuner" culture and the compulsion to "supe up" your car. No history lesson this week, just a plain old school Odd Dad Out bitching. Enjoy... or don't, I'm not the boss of you...
