Odd Dad Out

The last few weeks have been pretty hectic. Between getting settled back in to home life post-vacation, the boys starting back to school, and getting my groove back on the show, it's been very busy around here. Oh yeah, and in the middle of that, Sam decided he wanted to stop wearing diapers. The news is back with an idiotic lawsuit, what I can only describe as a dumb landscaper, and a ballsy car thief. Finally, in this week's Recommended Listening, it's time for the August 2019 Sunshine Summit.

For July my guest of the month is the ever wonderful Paul Csomo from the Varmints podcast. Unlike his previous appearance, this time we actually ended up talking about animals quite a bit. Of course there's also the obligatory podcasting and tech talk. We talk about what it's like living in states with such dangerous wildlife. Also, we joke about Paul's experience eating bugs, and the difference between animal rights activists and conservationists, with a side track into Paul's Funko Pop collection.

I'm back from vacation and it's one of those my yaking my head off weeks. I'm going over all of the stuff from my recent vacation back to Texas, including my baby brother getting married. Warning: I can't tell a linear story, and I don't even know how much of things I actually got to, but it's fun to share my vacation with you.

Lately it seems like the older boys have been getting to be bigger and bigger pains. We've repeatedly caught them sneaking around early in the morning, stealing treats from the cabinets, and outright lying to us. Maybe it's because they are in a new school, and are picking up bad habits from other kids. Maybe it's because they seem to be getting bullied by a couple other boys on the playground. Either way, it's been trying our patience for a few weeks now as they come home with increasingly jerky attitudes. We're open to any suggestions to remedy said jerkyness.

On a happier note (at least for her) ReAnna renewed her library card! Let's all remember, she's going to school to be a librarian, so a trip to the library is fun times... fun... times. Of course this means stories about going to the library that have way more excitement than stories about going to the library should, bless her heart.

In a similar kind of connected vein, we've gotten pretty hooked on the NBC show "Midnight, Texas" which is based on the book series by Charlaine Harris. Naturally, after the season ended, ReAnna had to see if the books lined up with the show. So, on her most recent trip to the library, she borrowed the audio book of the first novel in the series. Its been fun listening to the book being read and hearing the differences in the characters compared to the show. We definitely can agree on one thing for sure, Lemuel is better on the show. Looks like commuter podcast listening is gonna have to take a break until we finish this 8-disk story.

For the month of July I will be re-releasing select episodes of "Mom and Dad Cuss (a Little)" while we take our annual family vacation. This is Ep 24: "Home Improvement"

No plans for this week, just chatting about things. This week we just jump in to how things are going around the house. We discuss taxes, health and diet, and have a small discussion about the gender pay gap.

It's tax time! It's the time of year some people dread, and others depend on for household plans. This year we are using our tax return to do some improvements around the house. We are finally paying off our van and getting the A/C fixed in it, among other things. We purchased a new Tuft & Needle mattress. And we are replacing our beaten up dining table booth seat with a set of refurbished church pews.

On a more personal side, ReAnna has officially completed her first class on her quest to gain her Librarian degree with an "A." She's also made some steps toward improving her health, including finding a new doctor and getting on thyroid medication. In her first week alone, her energy level is way up, and she has managed to get her Dr Pepper consumption down to a single can a day, without any ill effects.

We have a small discussion about a recent Wells Fargo study into the gender pay gap and how it seems greatly affected by the overwhelming cost of childcare. Personally we flip that convention on it's head and it doesn't really bother us. ReAnna is the primary breadwinner in our house.

Since June is Pride month, I decided to be a little pandery and invite the only gay podcasters I know, Chris and Cody from BSP: Believer Skeptic Podcast, on as my Guests of the Month.
If you aren't familiar, BSP is a paranormal/ supernatural podcast with an LGBT twist.
We talk about our families and how theirs reacted to them "coming out." I share my experiences having a gay sister who is also pagan and how our family dealt with my wife and I "coming out of the broom closet." We rip on YouTubers a bit, and I freaked them out with some creepy supernatural stories from my life.

Summer is now in full swing, and that means getting the cars ready for vacation. Especially when one of the planned repairs forces your hand. From rental pogo sticks to shoddy land deals, this week's news is all about poor spending. Lastly, in Recommended Listening, I have what seems to be my most talked about show not featuring John Bukenas. It's actually time to talk about "Girl in Space."

I also shared a promo for the upcoming live event being put on by "Ignorance Was Bliss" and the "Getting Off" podcast before the True Crime Podcasters Convention in Chicago.

Looks like it’s going to be shorter shows for the next couple weeks. Long story short, my boys being in a summer camp program has totally messed with my daily home schedule and I just don’t have the time for longer shows for a couple weeks. But I did give you a little teaser for an upcoming feature.

-Summer Camp-

Because of the boys current schedule for their summer camp program, my daily routine has been thrown off a bit. In simplest terms, when I should be sleeping, I’m picking up the boys from school. Also, because of them being in school and hyped up from their day, they don’t want to take a nap when they get home, which means that I can’t take a nap either. Plus, I’ve still got all of my regular house duties. Having to take the boys to school and pick them up in only a couple hours span really puts a pinch on that stuff. I know it’s only for a couple weeks, but it wears on you after a bit.


Upcoming Feature
Girl In Space

As mentioned by Emily Prokop in ep 150, I have recently been binge listening to the Girl In Space podcast. After all of this summer camp craziness is over, expect a full feature.


*Special Note
I mentioned there being a jackass of the week. After recording an extensive rant on the subject, I decided to cut the entire thing from the episode. It’s available for Patreon supporters if you care to listen to me getting political and frustrated all at once. I really just felt like it got way off from where I had originally meant for the subject to go, and ultimately, it was not what this show is supposed to be about. I want you to have fun and enjoy yourselves listening to me make fun of dad life and stupid crime, not get into political discussions.

May’s guest of the month is one of my oldest podcast friends. She’s a podcaster, podcast editor, consultant, and author. From The Story Behind, Hate to Weight, and E-Podcast Productions, it’s Emily Prokop.
I really didn't know where this "interview" was gonna go. But, Considering we are both passionate about podcasting and are podcast editors, I should have expected we would have spent so much time talking shop. What can I say? You put a couple of podcast editors together and all we can talk about is plugins and breath noises. We gripe about people who want the "podcast franchise" handed to them. Also, we discuss some of our favorite podcasters. What would happen if Apple made a podcast creation app? The difference between Apple vs Android users in podcasting, and why I can't go to the She Podcasts Live conference. Of course there's also Emily's podcast recommendation, "Girl In Space."
