Dad Bros

The DadBros celebrate making it through Mother’s Day successfully thanks to planning ahead. Then they talk about whether or not pet owners should call themselves “parents”. Is the era of the dumb dad over in the media? There is some evidence to suggest so, including an awesome Cheerios commercial Jon found.

After the break, a podcast milestone is toasted as well as some talk of what is being planned for the DadBrosShow YouTube channel. Josh and Jon talk about obstacle races, including the recent Ninja Challenge and the gold standard Spartan. The show wraps up with a brief discussion on paternity leave. Enjoy!

This show kicks off with Jon having tummy troubles. The Dads then get into grilling and Jon’s new Kamado Joe and before going to break, they attempt to say something nice for Mother’s Day.

In the second half of the show, Josh and Jon talk about the “study” that claims beards are filthier than toilets, watch an internet video on how easy it is to get your kids to go with a stranger that has a puppy and try to figure out what to do about standardized testing.

We celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Engineero, a sound engineer and friend who is in studio to not only improve our audio but also be a part of the show. Right away, Engineero informs us that Cinco de Mayo is a holiday for gringos and we’re doing it wrong. We talk about other Mexican holidays that are interesting, raising a child to be bilingual & food trucks.

In the second half of the show, we try to figure out some social media. What is the DadBod phenomenon? Really…Dad Bod. What happens to a man’s testosterone when he becomes a dad? Josh might get into trouble for some of his marriage joking too far. We wrap it all up with a little discussion of the Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight just so it improves our search results.

Enjoy!

The show opens with a chat about how having a real life equivalent of the Facebook “Like” button would make interactions easier. Josh and Jon then talk about how their parenting styles differ between the first, second and third child. For some reason, this leads to some complaining about to-do lists.

In the second half of the show, the Dads discuss the trouble that UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Jones has gotten into that has led to him being stripped of the title and suspended and how athletes have trouble with fame and fortune.

Our buddy Beer Man Mark joins the Dad Bros in studio to educate us on beer and home brewing. If you’ve ever thought about making your own home brew or just wanted to know what the process of homebrewing is like, the first hour is a must.

After the break, we celebrate going international. We also talk about the Apple Watch (don’t call it the iWatch), accessories, Apple haters/Android lovers. The Dads then reminisce about the analogue days and being part of the Oregon Trail generation.

The show starts off with Josh talking about a problem he has with baby birds. Jon has noticed that Apple has added new emoticons so the iPhone has multicultural emoji. This leads to an article about whether or not boys and girls are allowed to own and play with gadgets and games differently. To end the segment, Josh tries to explain Gamer Gate and the #GamerGate movement, but fails miserably.

In the second half, a dad on Instagram gives his daughter a gag T-shirt of himself with a threatening message, but some people don’t get the joke. Drone Dad with his remote controlled quadcopter brings new meaning to the term “Helicopter Parent”. To wrap the show up, the Bros go back to Emoticons and discuss their origin and is the father of Emoji proud?

Jon recaps his Vegas vacation and then ponders if it’s possible to be a cooler dad after a few drinks.

After the break, the Dads discuss people worth following on Instagram, birthday party planning, mile markers for getting old and why are grandparents afraid to be called grandparents?

The last day of roll out week is today and Jon’s already taking a vacation.

Topics include: Vodka, gym cleanliness, Jon leads a urinal rebellion, Steve-o pretends to be a dad, free range parents vs nosey neighbors, and a nanny snaps on camera.

Roll out week is moving so fast!

When we recorded this show Easter celebrations had just happened, so we thought it’d be a good idea to talk about it. Seemed relevant at the time.

We are in the middle of roll out week which means today’s show podcast is another short show.

Have you noticed our Dad Bros logo? It’s two guys with some pretty big beards. We discuss those beards in this episode. Fair warning.
