The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 21: What's On the TV?

After an unexpected week off for emergency parenting, The Dads are back with an all new episode. This week, we start talking about those abrupt schedule changes in our daily lives when a kid gets sick, or we get sick before talking a little about Western New York Winters. Then we get to the meat of the show. With the coming of the cooler weather, we might actually have time to watch some TV. Since the new seasons and new shows start around the same time, what will we be watching? And how do we get the shows we want to watch? The days of rabbit ears and tin foil are long in the past.

Cast: Craig, Howie, Bobby

Running Time: 57 minutes

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 20: That Fatherly Advice

In this week's podcast, we talk about the talks our dads gave us, and the ones we've given to our children. Plus, the ones we expect to have to give. We talk a little about the rules that we had to abide by when we were kids, and how they impact the rules we set as parents. It's scary how much our kids act exactly the same way we did at that age. Our poor parents.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 19: Hospital Trips & Allergies

This week in our The Dads Must Be Crazy podcast, we talk about those inevitable trips to the ER. Apparently, it's mostly us who've gone for our own issues. And allergies. So many allergies. Plus we divert from the topic just a bit to bemoan the parents who rush to get to the head of the drop off at some of the local schools.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 18: Home Owner Highs & Lows

In this week's Dads podcast, we never actually get to what we had scheduled to talk about. Instead, we start with some field trip ideas for the family and get into the joys and misery of home ownership. And Craig has actual parenting going on during the recording. If you listen closely, you can hear his phone chiming with notifications from both the school and his wife about an incident with one of the kids at school.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 17: Bar Mitzvahs and Burning Barrows

In this week's podcast, we discuss Howie's son's Bar Mitzvah. It was the first time Craig had been to a Jewish ceremony in a temple, and Bobby has never been. We talk about some of the questions we had about the ceremony. And then we move on to the BBQ afterwards and Howie's propensity for making the unintended happen. He always has the best of intentions, though.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 16: It's Back to School!

The dads are rejoicing. The kids are back to school. That should be cause for celebration, right? Maybe. It definitely means there will be more of the Dad & Mom Taxi Service happening, and everything we did during a full day now has to be shoved into the evening hours. It is good the kids are back in school. And no, we won't make you stare at an endless litany of back to school pictures of our kids.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 15: Nostalgia & Grandma's House

In this week's episode, we talk a little about nostalgia. We reminisce about our grandparents' houses and some of the great memories of family and tradition at each. Of course Howie hosts the tangent portion of the show and we talk about baseball cards for a little bit, too. Bobby still has the baseball cards his grandparents gave him. Craig was obsessed with Tinkertoys and space.

Shenanigans Episode 95: Groping For Trout in a Peculiar River

This week after subjecting Rich to a litany of sports talk, he and Vinnie debate the properties of blackholes. Because Science! There is definitely a split opinion over fondness of tapioca and Spam. Getting back to sports we discuss THE dumbest trademark application and the return of Lake Effect to the NWS lexicon. Vinnie does the worst Andrew Dice Clay impression and he doesn't quite get the use of the Website of the Week. We introduced a new guy who really had no idea what he was getting himself into.

Cast: Craig, Rich, Vinnie, Mat

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 14: School Supplies & Reading Lists

In this week's episode, we talk about those school supply lists and what our kids are reading at various ages throughout the year. What were some of the supplies that you absolutely had to have when you were back in school? Did you have a real metal lunchbox? Or did you have one of those plastic things or purse things? When it comes to reading, we wonder if there's a way to include contemporary fiction to juxtapose against the classics?

Welcome to episode 13 of The Dads Must Be Crazy. This week we talk about family vacations. From the time we were kids, to taking our own kids on vacation, how have things changed? The Disney Conundrum arises. Do we take our kids to Disney, and at what age? Howie wants to plan a trip to Iowa next August for the Yankees-White Sox game at the Field of Dreams.
