It’s New Years Day and the Dad Bros reflect on the holiday season. Christmas doesn’t feel as magical this year for Jon but the Stuffed Christmas Dinner was still a success. Josh feels Christmas break was a fail and searches for a good word to use when the kids are being whiny.
The Dad Bros are just a couple of guys trying to piece together what might be the ramifications of Net Neutrality being overturned by FCC, even though they don’t have a solid grasp of what they are arguing. Jon discovers Amazon coins are a real thing. The boys discuss Taco Bell’s beer venture, Netflix tracking and tweeting about users’ viewing habits, YouTube VR, and UPS looses $750,000 inheritance and offers to refine shipping costs.
Josh & Jon have a long list of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day traditions that they participate in. Some, like oysters on Christmas Eve, are a mystery in their origin while others, like “hide the pickle” are well known.
The Dad Bros talk more about the incredible rise of BitCoin and how dramatic the changes in price seem to come. Jon remembers a hologram scam that pops up in different forms every now and then. The boys discuss Christmas Dinner plans which includes a turducken and stuffing foods inside of foods. Jon spreads some DIY lessons he has learned including installing the Ring Doorbell. A surprising number of Mellennials say they would have romantic robot relationships and Josh & Jon don’t know what to make of the world anymore.
The Dad Bros take a look at the surge in popularity of at-home DNA testing kits, how valuable your genetic information really is, data collection and why it might not be a great idea to get your genes tested in the first place.
Only a week in and Josh has had enough with holiday parties. The Dad Bros talk a little sous vide cooking. Jon attends a tree lighting ceremony by Beer Man Mark’s brewery. Josh gets his black belt. The boys talk about how Target is targeting men.
Since the Harvey Weinstein snowball started rolling down the hill, it’s been stunning to watch just how many people have been caught up in it. From Louis CK to Al Franken, and now Matt Lauer & Garrison Keillor, every morning seems to greet with a new story about some powerful man being a creep. The Dad Bros spend some time talking about the seemingly never ending sexual harassment accusations coming out, what should or shouldn’t count and how it all may impact male/female interactions going forward.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday have bled together into a weeks long event that drains the Dad Bros’ wallets and make it difficult for anyone get them gifts. Josh and Jon give kudos to Jeff Bezos and question the genius of Elon Musk. Before the break, Josh passes along the magical words “I understand, I’m sorry,” that he picked up from Gavin McInnes.
