Keep Track of your Kids through Social Media & a Cell Phone, But BE CAREFUL!
I have always been a big proponent against the use of Social Media by children, especially when they are in elementary school. Interacting with Social Media is not something you want your kids doing at an early age, at least not until they can really understand its implications. However, as they grow older and more independent, loosening up the reigns…

“From Douchebags to Dish Washing” – Cast of Dads Podcast #20
Well, we are no longer teenagers. That is to say, this Cast of Dads episode has pushed us out of the terrible teens and we now are almost at drinking age. And, I think that drinking was on our minds when we recording Episode #20 of Cast of Dads. I personally had just woken up from a nap, Daddy Brad…

Mother’s Day & More from the Dads’ Perspective – “Mother’s Day Grossout” – Cast of Dads Podcast #18
Yes, we pro-actively recorded a special Mother's Day podcast (#18) on Cast of Dads, but of course, being men, we are a bit behind on getting it out for everyone to listen to and enjoy. No matter! It's the thought that counts, right? Happy belated Mother's Day! We, as always, had a lively discussion about Mother's Day, kids, "slutty" dancing,…

What Makes Men Cry & Other Things – “Crying & Candy Cigarettes” – Cast of Dads Podcast #17
Even though it seems that we took a week off from our regular podcast (really, we try our best to make these weekly), we were still able to pick up right where we left off with the usual daddy and parenting banter that has become a regular feature of our Cast of Dads podcast. I must say that I look…

“From One End To The Other” (Literally) – Cast of Dads Podcast #16
From one end of the pool to the other? Nope! From the end of the universe and back again? Hardly! Let's think about the main thing that kids seem to do...a lot...eat from one end and then send it out the other. Well, we had a lot of fun on Episode #16 of the Cast of Dads podcast discussing, as…

Renaming Cast of Dads Podcast #15 to the “iPadcast of Dads” – “iPad, Kindles & VCRs OH MY!”
The Cast of Dads recorded podcast #15 ("iPad, Kindles & VCRs – Oh My!") the day the iPad was available to purchase. Only one of us (CC) actually had one to play with, but the rest of the Cast of Dads definitely had a lot to say about this new, potentially disruptive (in many ways) device and how it will…

“Car Seats & Common Sense” Discussed by Some Punchy Dads on Cast of Dads Podcast #14
The Cast of Dads were in rare form for this podcast titled "Car Seats & Common Sense". Maybe it was something in the air or something we drank but geez! But we were still able to offer our "sagely" parenting advise throughout the podcast. I guess that once and a while, we can let what little hair we have down…
