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?

Cast: Craig, Howie, Bobby

Running Time: 56 minutes

Shenanigans Episode 94: I Can't Handle the Stupid

This week's episode starts off talking about the Antonio Brown circus and whatever the heck Dak Prescott is thinking. Whataburger is 69 years old. I wonder if Gronk celebrated? Our infamous flat earther rocketman failed once again to blast off, and toilets are exploding during thunderstorms. Walden and Rich talk about visiting the house from A Christmas Story and we lose it over Victorian era sex toys. Jimmy Kimmel is totally riding the Shenanigans coattails with his new mayoral bid. This episode is very much NSFW.

Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden, Vinnie

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 13: Those Family Vacations

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. And we all seem pretty focused on a guy trip to New York City.

Shenanigans Episode 93:Chocolate Cottage Cheese & Genny Cream Ale

We're down to a trio again this week as Vinnie bails on us. But don't worry, we broadcast from outside his windows. We are definitely interested in sweaty shirts that will smell better than simply sweat. Maybe grilled steak? Is Walden pregnant or is he a basketball player. Guy Fieri wants to be in the Little Mermaid movie because he is a real crustacean. Are they really making hot dog ice cream? If that's the case, we want a Shenanigans themed ice cream. Of course, this episode is totally NSFW.

Cast: Craig, Rich, Walden

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep.12: When the Wives Are Away

We're a day late this week after some technical difficulties at the Watercooler Studios. But we do have another episode. Craig's and Bobby's wives are away for the week, and so far it's been an adventure. It's official: our wives are superheroes. And so is Howie. So, how are we doing while we're holding down the fort and being overrun by children. Take a listen and you'll find out. And you'll hear a lot of background chatter as the kids end up playing behind us while we record.

Shenanigans Episode 92: Cooling Off With a Rocket Pop

We learned this week that Vinnie's newest favorite beer has won awards, and we were unaware there was a Razzies for Beer. Beware of clown brawls during your cruise this fall, and why are they trying to move Halloween? Vinnie gives us more insight on life in the military, and asks for a tank tracked Segway. We learn about the Birds and the Bees, and we want...no, demand... a Pigs in Space Movie. Of course the disaster that is an Area 51 raid is still in the news as well as that equally disastrous Woodstock50 festival. NSFW

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 11: Playdates and Guy Trips

We are on location this week from Howie's super secret lair. Think of it as possibly a playdate, because that was the subject this week after Craig extolled the virtues of reading rather than watching television and movies. We talked about our dislike of the word "playdate" and then talked about what our childhoods were like when it came to playing with friends. Of course, we strayed from the topic and went off in other directions. In the end, we decided that we should take a guys trip. We're looking for suggestions. You can send them to niagaraswatercooler@gmail.com.

Shenanigans Episode 91: Are You An Apple or PC??

Another week, another WNY staple for Vinnie to try. This time it was a delicious double cheeseburger from Reid's. We're trying to put together a list WNY things that we can make him try. Bud Lite decided to not sponsor the Area 51 raid, but will give free beer to any aliens who come out of there. I wonder where they'll get the beer? Elon Musk wants to interface brains and computers, and Craig has decided that he really didn't fling anyone that bird. He was just hacked. Looking for a new couch for the mancave? How about some free ones from a strip club? Four Loko has some special, new cans that will make you look at your refreshments in new, amazing ways. NSFW.

The Dads Must Be Crazy Ep. 10: The Neverending Story

We were supposed to talk about more pop culture and how our perception of it has changed since we became parents. Instead, we spend a good deal of time talking about raising kids in particular religions. Howie has an interesting situation between his religion and his wife's, and how it affects his children. Our kids, who used to listen to the same music as we do, have started to branch into their own musical tastes. They don't always jibe with ours.

Shenanigans Episode 90: Use Bigger Words, Little Man

The foursome is back this week, and boy, do we initiate Vinnie into some serious Western New York coming of age traditions. That's right, he finally had his first Genny Cream Ale. It's an interesting taste test for sure. Walden joins in on the fun. Now, they're ready to storm Area 51. Vinnie tells us that DQ is a Texas staple and Walden is impressed with the Slurpee Baby. Meanwhile, there are some angry meth gators and angrier little men buying bagels. NSFW.

This week's Website of the Week is very close to us as it deals with a school friend of Craig and Rich. The link to the GoFundMe page for Curt Bobzien. Please take some time, make a donation. Send him well wishes. Curt's Courageous Cause
