Odd Dad Out

Congratulations to Daniel J. Lewis from "The Audacity to Podcast" on the birth of his first son, "Noodle Baby."

The birth of "Noodle Baby" inspired me to talk about the idea of how having kids kills your podcast. Of course I can't keep to the topic at hand and go on talking about general Dadness. I love being a dad, and I love being a podcaster, but those things do in fact butt heads at times.
I have missed many weeks on this show due to family life, but that is part of the trade off of wearing both hats. Something has to take priority, and in my life that is always going to be my family.

This week we discuss the best way to raise the kind of children you want. We're not talking about how to get you kids to behave, or how to make them stop fighting with their brothers. Those sort of things are pipe dreams. We are playing the long game and talking about how to turn your children into the kind of adults you want them to be by leading by example.

This week I've got a story about a mom who built her entire family home by hand using YouTube. I'll cover some fun entertainment news, and in "Recommended Listening" I'll probably spend more time talking about this week's show than it takes to listen to it.

Normally I'd write something about the show but Emily puts it so perfectly herself:

The extraordinary history of the ordinary. Do you like trivia and fun facts? Have you lost hours to Wikipedia rabbit holes? Do you ever wonder about the history of everyday things in your world? The Story Behind ... is the show for you! Warning: Your friends might tire of you starting sentences with, "I learned on a podcast ..."

I am a fan of strange trivia, and this show has that in spades. Whether it's the many origins of pretzels, or a deep dive into the legend that is Betty White, Emily always delivers great information with just a pinch of humor. Her pun game could only be matched by my wife's. You will come out of every episode smiling having learned something cool. Five stars all the way.

This week I'm joined by my wife ReAnna from "Mom and Dad Cuss" because she just HAD to talk crap about the Dallas Cowboys loss this weekend. We then get into the exciting news that Bluebell Ice Cream is returning to Arizona just in time for our anniversary. She helps out with BS From the News, and nags at me while I talk about the "Epic Film Guys" in Recommended Listening.

What is your image of a "traditional" family dynamic? Is it the one where dad goes to work all day while mom stays home to raise the kids solo? Or is it the one where mom and dad both go to work and leave the kids with a nanny or babysitter resulting in a total detachment from raising the kids? This week we are talking about how our family dynamic functions in a much less "conventional" way.

Hello 2017! For this week's recommended listening I've got a double shot from the "King of Queens" RuPaul. In "BS From the News" I've got an epic case of the silent treatment, an epic prank, and a pair of really dumb criminals. (As if there's any other kind.) Plus I wrap things up with a rant about the phrase "drive it like you stole it."

So Long 2016! This week I'm looking back on "The Year of No Survivors" and running through some of the MANY celebrities lost this year. Of course I'll make fun of some weird news stories, and in "Recommended Listening" I'm featuring my old pal the NewMan. Then I take a look back at this show and how things have changed over the last year and what I'd like to do in 2017.

Have a Happy New Year

Recorded on Christmas night of 2016, while recovering from a "fun" wave of illness.

To get ourselves back in a silly mood, ReAnna pulled out another quiz. This time it's "21 Funny Questions For Couples To Shake Off A Bad Day." You'll learn why Adam would pick Ryan Gosling or Jake Gyllenhaal to play him in a movie. Plus what ReAnna's favorite thing Adam does in bed. (Hint: it's not what you'd think.) Later we chat about our favorite gifts and how almost depressingly practical we are.
Plus the return of our WTF Moments featuring a pair of stories about our 4 year old monster.

This week news broke that Amy Schumer is in talks to lead a Barbie movie. I can't get behind this, but not for the reason you might think. Plus I launch a new "Recommended Listing" segment by talking about "PreRecorded Live." As always there's "BS from the News." And in the the "Jackass of the Week" I have a word or two about being a responsible smoker.

It's getting chilly outside, which means cold and flu season is on it's way. This week we talk about the things we've picked up along our 4 child adventure that have helped keep our household sickness situation as "in check" as we can manage. Plus it's getting close to the holidays, and we have a handy tip for getting your gift ideas together. All this and ReAnna's terrible song lyrics.
