The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 18: Home Owner Highs & Lows
Wednesday Sep 18, 2019
Wednesday Sep 18, 2019
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.
Cast: Craig, Howie, Bobby
Running Time: 52 Minutes

Shenanigans Episode 98: This Title is Written in Canadian
Friday Sep 13, 2019
Friday Sep 13, 2019
Another week, another episode of The Shenanigans Podcast. This week, we talk a lot about opening weekend in the NFL and the continuing Antonio Brown saga. We move on to pooping brides and rat burgers. Who are the worst drivers? Mat says Saab drivers. But they're not as bad people as those who buy lottery tickets during the morning rush at the convenience stores. Who played high school sports? And Canada Watch this week in multi-lingual. Of course, this episode is always NSFW.
Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden, Vinnie, Mat
Running Time: 87 Minutes

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 17: Bar Mitzvahs and Burning Barrows
Wednesday Sep 11, 2019
Wednesday Sep 11, 2019
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.
Cast: Craig, Howie, Bobby

The Balagang Ep.1: The Rise of the Balagang
Tuesday Sep 10, 2019
Tuesday Sep 10, 2019
Introducing the Balagang. Think of this as Shenanigans Lite, featuring some of us from Shenanigans and Howie's brother, Marc. We talk mostly about Howie things and growing up in the Balaban family. We trade eyebrow stories, and we are formally requesting a picture of Marc as Tevye in High School. There's a little discussion about LeBron James trying to trademark "Taco Tuesday." He shall lose. And we talk about practical jokes at work. There are still some NSFW moments, but it's all in good fun. This will not be a regular podcast, but will show up as time permits.
Cast: Craig, Howie, Mat, Marc
Running Time: 75 Minutes

Shenanigans Episode 97: Never Go Full Journey
Friday Sep 06, 2019
Friday Sep 06, 2019
In this week's podcast, Walden brings us PBR Coffee. It was really good. It's too bad they don't sell it anywhere near here. Vinnie gives us some military tales about promotions. Farts killed a debate in Africa, and zombie Skittles are coming your way. Rich gets to talk about old video games, and Snow White's grave has been found. Or at least her gravestone. While Red Bull doesn't give you wings, they should give you chicken wings. That would make it so much better. And always be careful when doing Karaoke. You don't want a Karaoke injury. As always, this episode is NSFW.
Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden, Vinnie, Mat

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 16: It's Back to School!
Wednesday Sep 04, 2019
Wednesday Sep 04, 2019
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.
Cast: Craig, Howie, Bobby
Running Time: 46 minutes

Shenanigans Episode 96: An Ove-Glove For the Bum
Friday Aug 30, 2019
Friday Aug 30, 2019
We start this week's show debating whether ranch is supposed to be dressing on chicken wings. We think it's pretty clear that it's NOT. Vinnie's favorite vertically challenged bagel connoisseur found himself in a little trouble this week. We found out that Butt-Con exists for all you posterior admirers. There was a special game of Pokemon Go near an historic waterwheel. Again, this episode is totally NSFW.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 15: Nostalgia & Grandma's House
Wednesday Aug 28, 2019
Wednesday Aug 28, 2019
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.
Cast: Craig, Howie, Bobby

Shenanigans Episode 95: Groping For Trout in a Peculiar River
Friday Aug 23, 2019
Friday Aug 23, 2019
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
Wednesday Aug 21, 2019
Wednesday Aug 21, 2019
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?
