Lice, Facial & Chest Hair, Rockets and Halloween – Cast of Dads Episode #34
So I guess that CC Chapman finally hit puberty on this episode of Cast of Dads. We are not exactly sure what happened, whether it was the Skype "bugs" at work, the fact that Halloween is just around the corner or if CC just has an alter ego that came out when we recorded Episode #34 "Itchy Scratchy Hasselhoff", but…

Cougars, Cars, Dirty Diapers, Fighting & Shooting Pool with a Rope – Cast of Dads Podcast #33
You gotta love unscripted recordings. And how we are all at the beck & call of technology. During our live podcast, Skype decided to act like a misbehaving child and refused to let us talk. But we worked through this and just kept going with a fairly "loaded" series of topics. The result is Cast of Dads Podcast #33 "State…

What Does “Silent But Deadly” Refer to in the Latest “Cast of Dads” Podcast #31?
We are still trying to get back into the regular scheduling of our "Cast of Dads" podcast. It's definitely hard to schedule 5 busy dads who are juggling family and work and play times (what's that?). But we did have our weekly virtual convention over the phone and managed to bang out another great episode titled "Silent But Deadly". Note:…

Vacations, Teddy Bears, Breathalyzers and Pictographs – “Back From Vacation” Cast of Dads Podcast #30
We took a week or so off to enjoy time with our families and get ready for the start of the school year. But once we all got back on the phone this week, we definitely had a LOT to talk about in our latest Cast of Dads podcast #30, "Back From Vacation". Note: we are always looking for sponsors!…

What Do Dude Ranches, Snoop Dogg, Katy Perry, NyQuil & Cooking Have in Common? Cast of Dads Podcast #29 Of Course!
Quite a variety of topics in the latest Cast of Dads podcast #29, "Dude Ranches & Snoop Doggs", wouldn't you say? Well I had just gotten back from a week with the family up at a dude ranch and I shared my thoughts about that type of family vacation. Note: we are always looking for sponsors! If you would like…

Daddy Got an Owie! Making Your Own Injuries A Lesson to Your Kids – Cast of Dads Podcast #28
Well I managed to acquire 18 stitches this past weekend, but still had enough brains to be able to participate in our weekly podcast of Cast of Dads. We did the recording just a few hours after I had returned from the ER and enduring the wonderful process of someone sewing my forehead back together (sorry for the graphics there).…

Thunderstorms, Earthquakes, Spies, Sports Channel for Kids & More on Cast of Dads Podcast #25
In Cast of Dads episode #25 titled "The Russians Are Coming", we just couldn't stop talking. Our podcast is pretty loosely structured, frequently we have only 1-2 topics that we plan to talk about ahead of time, but some days we just go without any planning whatsoever and just see what directions the subjects take us. I had just returned…

Dads, Have You Done “The Big Snip”? – Cast of Dads Podcast #24
As all 5 of the us on the Cast of Dads have recently recovered from Father's Day, with a variety of good times and adventures, we spent some time discussing something that "cuts close" to our Dad-dom, that of "The Big Snip". Can you guess how many of us on COD have actually had the procedure done? It's an obviously…

Beer, Beer & More Beer (And Father’s Day Stuff) – Cast of Dads Podcast #23
Who says that we can't do a Podcast on a Monday? Well, I guess that I did last week but that was during the day. For our "Happy Father's Day" episode of Cast of Dads, we did our recording a bit later on a Monday, and lubed up our voices, creativity and topics with a few beers. And I recorded…

“Pitching the Tent Both Ways” – Pre-pre-Father’s Day Cast of Dads Podcast #22
It's really odd but for some reason, the Dads of Cast of Dads are much more talkative on the weekend. Perhaps because Episode #22 ("Pitching the Tent Both Ways") was recorded on a Monday, we were a bit punchy and off our game. Or were we? You will have to listen in to decide for yourself. One topic that we…

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…
