Vinny from the Digital Father Podcast and Roland from the Bad Dad Podcast proudly present: The Daddy Dialogues. Candid Conversations about being a father, a husband, and a man.

Our bi-weekly chats are getting ridiculously long. Latest came in at two hours. (We just can’t seem to shut up.) So we’re breaking this up into two episodes:

  • This episode:
    • [02:00] We recap our respective Father’s Days.
    • [10:30] Roland’s big honkin’ green middle finger get him into trouble.
    • [17:00] Painting woes yield fighting blues.

    • [20:25] How kid-friendly is your church?
    • [27:00] We talk about being an overprotective parent; and opposing views on how much safety equipment is too much. Are we turning our kids into weenies?
    • [51:00] Essential summer safety tips from LittleLeague.org:
      • Sun, sunscreen, shade - “Drink early, drink often”
      • Watch for storms: “If You See It, Flee It. If You Hear It, Clear It.”
        Go into enclosed building. If no building, go in car with windows rolled up.
        Wait 30 minutes before returning to play after last sign of lightning activity in your area.
  • Next episode, we’ll be sharing movie recommendations for Comic book adaptation to the big screen.

After that, we’ll get stricter about getting the episode down to thirty minutes — we promise!

So, how are you surviving the first week of back-to-school? (At least, here in the U.S. it’s that time.)

In my house, the kids were melting down the past few weeks. Although my wife did a great job at prepping for all the supplies and needs, the little stinkers tormented her with anxiety and whining.

Yesterday we kicked out escorted our twins to third grade and our six year old to first grade. Vinny’s son started High School. Time flies, doesn’t it?

So what’s it like at your house? Leave a comment or voice message.
Thanks!

-Roland & Vinny
