The Dads started their night with a visit to one of their other favorite breweries, Kane Brewing Company with their tasty Sideshore Pilsner. Goes down easy like most pilsners but has a nice full body compared to most pilsners that come off a bit lighter. The show then progresses to the weekly catch-up, where Rich talks about summer is spiraling to an end with school occurring for his son very soon. Meanwhile, Josh goes on about work and just chopping logs. Copy+paste for him, again. Sigh.
The show then transitions to An Aware Dad, with a reading from 'The Daily Dad', written by Ryan Holiday. Tonight's reading was titled January 5: Which Will It Be? With a very enlightening and heavy quote from Bruce Springsteen, both dads agree that they need to maintain their focus on becoming ancestors, and not ghosts. The show then progresses to the weekly topic...
Conspiracy Manhood: The attack on your manhood and the disempowerment of men and masculinity by terms like “toxic masculinity” and the one-sided “icks” in modern, younger, society. Join us as we discuss this topic and share some insight, statistics and research on the subject.
After an exchange of some in-depth conversation and questions, the show progresses to their "Shit-uations". Tonight's Shit-uations has Josh reading blurbs from FML.com.
