Dad Bros

Austin Dowd, Convention Chair for the National At-Home Dad Network, joins the Dad Bros in studio to talk about the upcoming 21st Annual At-Home Dads Convention in Raleigh, NC, October 7 – 9. Austin talks with Josh and Jon about what Dads can expect for the convention in terms of guests, events and break out sessions. It is clear how hard he and everyone else at the National At-Home Dad Network have been working to make sure this year meets and exceeds the high expectations that were set at last year’s convention.

Austin is also a home brewer of apple cider. He brings in a sample of his latest batch for the Drink of the Show.

The Dad Bros get some Pokémon Go time and have some issues. Josh has trouble logging in while Jon hangs out with the youth in downtown trying to catch a Squirtle or something.

After the break, the media loves to report on Pokémon Go news and it isn’t all about how popular the game is. A previous caller to the Dad Bros Hotline (844-DAD-TALK) checks back in to give Josh and Jon an update on his situation and ask a question. After all of the Pokémon Go talk, if you happen to be thinking we’re all headed for Idiocracy, the Dad Bros would like you to know there is hope with a story about a young homeless man that is so dedicated to improving his life, he was willing to bike 6 hours and camp in order to enroll in his second semester of college.
