Odd Dad Out

Recently the show has taken a wide turn from where it originally began. This week I bring things back with a good old fashioned chatting train of thought. I talk about why I took a break for a few weeks, some thoughts on the recent Presidential election, and some podcasts I've gotten into recently.

Thanks to Mark from "What's Happening with the NewMan" and Matt from "PreRecorded Live" for really just being my friends and not letting me walk away from the show when I get a bit frazzled.

The holiday season is upon us. Halloween has passed, and now it is time to get ready for Thanksgiving in the USA. If you have kids, holidays are a very stressful time. If you travel for the holidays you can multiply that stress level by about 2 million. So this week we share our tips for minimizing the headache of the holiday season.

Next week we'll continue the topic in more detail so make sure to subscribe so you don't miss it.

It's been a month since we've talked but, long story short, life and family come before podcasting.

This week we got into the idea of judging other parents. Some people may say that we have to all be fair and it is wrong to judge each other's parenting skills. But really how are we going to learn what is "good" or "bad" parenting if we don't judge each other on some level. Now this is not to say that we think you should go out and ridicule people for their parenting beliefs or style. (Leave that to us.) But you should look at other people, and the way they parent their children, to shape the way you raise your own children. Of course everybody is different and your upbringing and your beliefs will determine how your views of other parents will shape you. Overall it's not about making someone else change their style of parenting to match yours, but about taking your observations to shape YOU.

Since ReAnna came from the southern tradition of "children should be seen and not heard" we have a certain level of that in our expectations for our boys. We also touch on "helicopter" parenting and it is bleeding over into Halloween. We discuss the new trend of "Trunk of Treating" and teenagers and high school kids still trick or treating.

In true "we can't stay on topic" fashion we end up talking about the lessons learned from parental experience and why you should never expect kid 2 to be anything like child 1. Practical lessons about how to change diapers can be carried over, but you can throw the manual away when kid 2 arrives.
Everything this week boils down simply to "I'll do me, you do you."

This week I changed things up and covered a wide range of news stories including: Janet Jackson's pregnancy, McDonald's response to the creepy clowns, a scented candle only nerds can appreciate, and a 911 operator that just didn't want to do her job.

Back in old form, this week is just a good old fashioned stream of consciousness type discussion about fame and how the media covers BS stories simply for ratings. Of course that opens up a whole big can of worms running from the Kardashians to Donald Trump. Throw in some surprising words of wisdom courtesy of a recent Nerdist interview with Sarah Jessica Parker, and we've got a nice train of thought. Believe it or not, I even manage to tie it all in with the creepy clown epidemic, because I can just pull that off.

For most all of my post-high school life I have been said to be kind of an a**hole. To a degree it's been almost a point of pride. Now that I'm older I'm starting to wonder if it's more "kind of" and less "a**hole."

Bullshit From the News


It's all behind them: 'Butt-chugging' fraternity returns to UT | News | utdailybeacon.com
The Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity at the University of Tennessee is being reinstated after being booted from campus four years ago for the use of "wine enemas." This puts stupid douchebag fratboy antics to a new level. How dumb do you have to be to think that pouring wine into a hose in your butt is a good idea?

Kissing Chickens Can Spread Salmonella, CDC Warns | Huffington Post
For the second time the CDC has issued a warning that kissing your pet chickens can lead to salmonella poisoning. I realize that some people view chickens as pets, but to me they are food. Don't kiss your very very very raw chicken dinner. It will get you sick.
