We almost dropped the deuce laughing during some of DaddyBrad’s stories in this episode of Cast of Dads called “Deuce in the Dryer“. It seems like we hit a low about mid podcast, revived ourselves a bit and then ended up back with our minds in the toilet, sort off, at the end of the podcast. But we covered a lot more in this 47th episode. Some interesting types of foods were discussed (with Jeff’s son coming up with a yummy sounding creation for Thanksgiving), but I’m not sure how I feel about a “Krispy Kreme burger”…just the sound of it made my arteries harden.
I feel like the groove is back…we took a few weeks off during the summer but given the range of topics below, I would say that we are doing a pretty good job hitting some of those “crappy” topics that make a dad’s life fun and interesting.

We are halfway through November, I mean “Movember,” and I’ve got this itchy feeling on my face, as do a few of the other dads on Cast of Dads. Why? Because we are donating our liplines and faces to the Movember effort. You can see my post about it here. While I definitely am not quite sporting the crazy mustaches that Brad or Max are doing (and I don’t have the social influence that CC has), I certainly don’t look like my normal self. My dad actually likes it, despite in the past wanting to pay me to shave off any facial hair that I grew. So, in the #46th episode of Cast of Dads, “Real Men Will Grow a Mo” we talk a bit about Movember as well as a lot of other hot topics like Thanksgiving, Penn State, the Occupy Movement, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Incognito mode and much more.
If you feel so inspired, please be sure to donate to one of the Cast of Dad’s Movember effort like:

We had quite a few topics stewing to be discussed on Cast of Dads Episode #45 “Dads CAN Cook Even When Sauced“. For starters, we had a conversation about a social media campaign that tried to use modern day social media tactics but using a very old and outdated stereotype, that of Dads not being able to cook and having to rely on bottled alternatives. The funny thing is, we actually DO use bottled alternatives when cooking, just that they tend to be alcohol-based and we drink them while we cook from scratch!
I made it a point to be actually cooking from scratch (see the picture below) when recording this podcast. I think what irritated us most was the fact that one of the reasons why the 5 of us dads get together regularly to record our show is to refute many of the stereotypes typically associated with dads and parenting. Dads are involve more than ever with the upbringing of our children and we get together to discuss these changes and how to become better parents in the process. Another thing that we are extremely tired of is getting “mommy-centric” PR pitches which we regularly receive. But that is a topic for another, on-going discussion.
We got into a lot of other saucy topics in the podcast, with our usual creative banter. But you will just have to listen to the show to hear those! [click to continue…]
Ok, school has started for most of us and I realize that we have some homework to do. That is, the Cast of Dads do since we seem to be sputtering along trying to get back into a regular recording groove. “The dog ate my homework” isn’t going to work for us. Maybe, “we just had an earthquake” or “we are preparing for a hurricane” does work though. In Episode 44 of the Cast of Dads, “Mother Nature is in a Bad Mood,” we talked about how when Mother Nature decides to get upset, we all suffer.
I think that there is a reason why they don’t call it Father Nature, and no offense to the mothers out there but, when dads get in bad moods, we normally don’t go on a rampage. And on the flip side, moms typically have a much more nurturing side to them, and bring life into existence. Dads are pretty much just there to help.
Speaking of dads, I was able to finally meet another member of the Cast of Dads, Max Kalehoff, when I was out in New York this summer. Personally I just love the carefully placement of the “and” in the photo!
