This week the Dads are trying a pilsner called Post Shift, which has an ABV of 4.7% and is from Jack's Abby Craft Lagers, located in Framingham, MA.

They then progress to the weekly cathc-up where Rich actually asks Josh some engaging questions so it's not a copy+paste section anymore.

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 14, Where Do They Learn To Judge? Be sure to listen to this week's insightful reading. The show then progresses to the topic of the week.

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.

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.

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.

This week's tape has the Dads drinking another Octoberfest beer, but this one is from another local brewery the Dads tried before, Bonesaw Brewing Company. The Bonetoberfest was a very tasty and scrumptious fall beer, and as Rich describes will be great for when the kids trick or treat.

The Dads started their night with a visit to one of their other favorite breweries, Kane Brewing Company with their tasty Sideshore Pilsner. Goes down easy like most pilsners but has a nice full body compared to most pilsners that come off a bit lighter. The show then progresses to the weekly catch-up, where Rich talks about summer is spiraling to an end with school occurring for his son very soon. Meanwhile, Josh goes on about work and just chopping logs. Copy+paste for him, again. Sigh.

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 5: Which Will It Be? With a very enlightening and heavy quote from Bruce Springsteen, both dads agree that they need to maintain their focus on becoming ancestors, and not ghosts.
