Dad Bros

It’s 2016 people! It is the current year & Josh and Jon recap their New Year’s celebrations including Josh’s weird dreams, Jon seeing the biggest in house Christmas tree he’s ever seen, Netflix has a great idea for New Year’s Eve countdown for kids and the kick off of the Dad Bros DietBet (you can still join). The Dad Bros talk a bit about their friend Stephen from Immersive Minds and their trip to a Barcade. This leads to a trip down memory lane of bad dates and good, but sparse advice from their own Dad. Before the break, Jon makes Josh tie up a few loose ends.

After the break, Jon thinks Facebook is listening to him and his router is a tracking devise with a little beard talk sprinkled in. Speaking of Facebook, a dog with ham on it’s face goes viral. The DadBros discuss a list of children’s book you won’t believe exist (they actually checked the more ridiculous ones).

The Dad Bros Show welcomes a special guest, Stephen Reid from Immersive Minds. He has made the trek across the Atlantic from Scotland to sit in studio and speak about using technology to help educate children. The majority of questions center around how games such as Minecraft, Little Big Planet, Sim City and more can be tools for teaching children history, science and math. The Immersive Minds strategies are being implemented in a growing number classrooms around the world.

Stephen also brought the gift of the Double Decker and some calls come into (844) DAD-TALK.

#DBSDotS: Beer Man Mark’s Apollo 9

Josh has a massive headache, but was willing to commit to a short show that turned out to be just as long as a regular show. The Dad Bros recap their Christmas Eve and Christmas Days, including oysters, unusual weather, kids sleeping in their beds and a never ending game of Mexican Train.

Jon’s decides to watch Star Wars with his daughter for the first time but can’t get his hands on a copy fast enough and the DadBros watch a video about some people who take the Jedi a little too seriously.

#DBSDotS: Egg Nog with Southern Comfort

This episode of the DadBros show is Star Wars The Force Awakens spoiler free, but the Star Wars movie marathon is discussed. A guy with a funny voice sits next to Josh on a hay ride. Josh and Jon take a look at tips on tipping.

After the break, the DadBros talk about security cameras and people freaking out over family photos including a Dad bathing with his daughter and a Christmas Card that was taken way too seriously.

What does Wookie and Ewok meat taste like? The Dad Bros talk about “But I want to” and “No Fair” as things their kids say that are annoying. Jon’s daughter is a pack rat. Josh’s wife and son camp out for a Star Wars marathon leading to The Force Awakens opening. A kid get into trouble for a t-shirt featuring a Stormtrooper holding a blaster which leads Josh to ask if it’s contradictory to be a Star Wars fan and be for banning guns.

After the break, Josh and Jon run though a few stories including:
A Dad takes Elf on a Shelf photos up a notch.
Breastfeeding activists are excited about an ugly Christmas sweater.
A study shows there may be a link between anti-depressants and autism.

#DBSDotS: Delirium Nocturnum

Conor McGregor predicting and then taking out Jose Aldo at UFC 194 leads Josh thinking there may be something to this “law of attraction” thing. The DadBros check out a new video game that pits a father trying to keep his infant son from killing himself and push the boundaries of good taste when discussing a charitable sperm donor who’s already fathered 54 children.

After the break, a trigger warning should be issued because the topic of conversation turns to gender when a father is scolded by his daughter for not referring to her friends by their proper pronouns, the origin of gender versus sex with a look at Dr. John money and a 52 year old man that is now a trans-six-year-old girl.

To end the show on a lighter note, the DadBros talk about a 92-year-old great-grandmother that went to the hospital after bedazzling her vajay with her granddaughter’s craft kit (we know, but we can pretend).

With the events like the Paris attacks, and more recently, San Bernardino, the world can seem like a frightening place. If you have kids, it becomes even more worrisome. That’s why the Dad Bros Show has invited forensic psychologist and friend, Dr. George, back to the show to discuss how to talk to your kids about mass shootings, terrorism and other violent situations (or if you should at all).

Also discussed are some of the reasons things like this happen
and what you can to if you happen to be involved.

#DBSDots: Jameson Caskmates, Stout Edition

The Dad Bros deal with rude people in the mall and on the road. Jon attends a beer and food event and takes the family bowling. Twenty-seven things that kids who grew up in the 80’s experienced but would be totally crazy today.

A Dad puts the lunch you make for your kids to shame. A Facebook photo of a woman angrily breastfeeding goes viral.

#DBSDotS: Ommegang’s Three Philosophers

The pressure is on for Josh to create a good Christmas card. If your Elf on a Shelf doesn’t move, the Dad Bros have some reasons why and some creative solutions to the problem. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is now a father and vows to give away 99% of his Facebook shares.

Misophonia could mean you are a more creative person. Applebee’s makes their kids menu a tiny bit healthier. Does an equal marriage equal less sex?
