The Detroit Dadcast

In Episode 2 my most legitimately stoic friend Sean Galvin, who introduced me to my wife (and married us by the powers vested in him by the internet) shares his hopes and fears about becoming a dad in about 8 weeks.  The one question that keeps him up at night:  Should I raise my kid to be a Lions fan?   Sean also shares his meritocratic process for coming up with a name (Rory is a #6 seed in the girls bracket), and his appreciation for his own father, whom he insists is "in the conversation" for the greatest dad of all time.

In this episode, my son Samuel shares some of the keys to being a good dad, which include not doing dangerous things like stepping on dogs.  He also delves into his ambitions to be a father himself and to become a bulldozer Rescue Bot.

Wings to Go

CHORUS

Scotty dubs is a man’s man

Likes smashburgers, beer, and jam bands

Drives a Tundra, not a minivan

Happy 40th, from your big fan

VERSE 1

Let me walk you through a typical day

Of Scott Alex Weinstein if I may

Wake up with a snort, yank the apneia tube

Rise, brew some coffee, and scroll through Youtube

Algorithm’s bumpin’ with Panic shows and food

Might check his texts if he’s in the mood

Ebs said Thai joint opened in the Lou

He’ll be there tomorrow with a cold road  brew

Then it’s breakfast for the ladies, for Scott just Joe

Takes it black like a man, freshly ground like a pro

To the garage, in the back is an office

Flippin’ emails all day till he gets nauseous

Now lunch with my sis, sandwich with turkey

If it’s Monday he’s pissed,  gonna be Tofurkey

Kiss the girls, head downstairs, time to sling a light

Molly’s mad about storage, he ain’t one to fight

CHORUS

Scotty dubs is a man’s man

Likes smashburgers, beer, and jam bands

Drives a Tundra, not a minivan

Happy 40th, from your big fan

VERSE 2 (funny)

If ya wanna know Scooter, hit him up on the Gram

Man of many images, though not himself a ham

New brewery opened up in an old gas station

Wing joint poppin’ from his last vacation

Keep on scrolling, Billy Strings with a fiddle

Whoops, there’s an ad, it’s the blackstone griddle

Action Bronson teased an album, Hot Ones new season dropped

Taco truck opened up, carnitas won’t stop

Head brewer buddy just had a kid

Scooter clicks “like” despite the name Sid

Billy Strings caught a bass in his new Kayak

Trey’s playin’ solo in Fon-Du-Lac

Some dude in west Texas sold a million dollar bong

Blew it outta glass shipped from Hong Kong

Little Janey on the hood of a black Bugatti

Or Fi-Fi on the hill, with a plate of manicotti

CHORUS

Scotty dubs is a man’s man

Likes smashburgers, beer, and jam bands

Drives a Tundra, not a minivan

Happy 40th, from your big fan

VERSE 3 (sincere)

When I met Scott he was still on hotmail

Blew glass, cut wood, snowboarded through trails

A chef, hockey player, an amateur craftsman

And get him loose, you’ll see, he’ll make ya laugh man

Generosity’s legendary, borderline offensive

Once cooked my wife a meal that made me defensive

Scallops, squash and bacon, even got her favorite wine

Wasn’t showing me up, just how the dude dines

Testament to Scott how many folks call him friend

He’ll sacrifice for others up to the end

Always one to ease your burden, called “The Sherpa” for a reason,

No matter the time, the place, or the season

So let’s all raise a glass to the one and only SAW

He deserves a celebration, from wherever you are

I hope you’re at The Village Scoot, chatting up an average Joe

Beer, burger, fries, and some wings to go

CHORUS

Scotty dubs is a man’s man

Likes smashburgers, beer, and jam bands

Drives a Tundra, not a minivan

Happy 40th, from your big fan
