The Dad Tapes

After a week break, this week the dads reach for an icy cold Double Hazy IPA called Double Broken Heels from New Trail Brewing Company located out of Williamsport, PA. This brew certainly matches the double in citrus as much as it does in hops and makes for a dangerously tasty beer. The show then progresses to the weekly catch-up, where the dads discuss what their Thanksgivings looked like and they caught up with each other with the long week break.

The show then transitions to An Aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled January 17, You Can't Be A Hypocrite. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.

Family values are the backbone to a healthy family. Tonight, we’re going to dissect the topic of family values, what they mean and their importance, and how we as parents and fathers need to establish concrete family values to help our children grow and flourish in a world with arguably diminishing societal values.

After an exchange of some in-depth conversation and questions, the show progresses to their "Shit-uations". Tonight's Shit-uations has Josh reading blurbs from FML.com.

The Dads had ANOTHER Bonesaw Brewing Co., beer, but this time it wasn't festive. This time, it's the Swoosh Hazy IPA, with a 7.1% ABV. Though not normally a Hazy guy, this is yet another Hazy IPA that Rich seemed to love, meanwhile Josh was salivating over the can the entire time. I can attest to that. The show progresses to the weekly catch-up, where Rich states it was an anxious, all over the place type of week while Josh had an overall tired week. Went to bed tired, woke up tired. Repeat.

The show then transitions to An Aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled January 13, Here's How To Have Lasting Impact. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.

Tonight, we discuss Dad Bods – the phenomenon that some love and adore while some others tend to steer as far away from it as possible. A dad bod is defined by Oxford Languages as “a male physique that is relatively slim but not lean or toned”. What we’re looking to focus on is the effects of our bodies as fathers onto our children, and what the image that we decide is good for us may be ascribed to our children’s health. How far does that go? Is the Dad Bod a rad bod? Join us as we delve into this subject.

In a day and age of open accessibility and having the legitimate world in the possession of your fingertips. Just like the world at large, the internet has a lot of things that need to be constantly and consistently regulated for our children.

We all have them, a habit that we really don’t want our children to pick up yet we allow ourselves to overindulge in these habits. It could be smoking, it could be drinking, it could be paying too much attention to screens. However, we need to be aware of the impact our own guilty pleasures have on our children and the consequences of them. Join us tonight as we explore some of those bad habits and how they are learned habits for our children – whether we intend to pass them down or not.

The Dads are cracking open a special brew shipped from their friends on the West Coast, the Baddie Daddies Podcast. The brew is called Socks and Sandals, it's a Foggy IPA and it's from the Humble Sea Brewing Co., in Santa Cruz, CA. It's an agreed new love, but the only frustrating part is the brewery has no vendors in the state of NJ. smh.. The show then transitions to the weekly catch-up, where Josh again talks about work (as per friggin usual) and Rich talks about more emotional heartbreak. What a sob.

The show then transitions to An Aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled January 8, How Are You Embodying Your Values. Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.

Invasions: Not The Alien Kind: With the recent news about prison escapees and even one of the escapees committing a home invasion, we’re going to talk just about that tonight – home invasions. What they are, how they affect the general public even in the era of all this security we see. Join us tonight as we delve into the topic and hopefully provide you with something you can take away from this – whether you are prepared for it or not, you need to be at least aware of it.
