Daddy's Silly Bedtime Stories

This one is about the time that Keith G tried to make friends with someone emailing him, asking for money....

This is from the last night in Schull 2025 :) I tell the story from my point of view, and then from the cousin's!!  

Same story... but this time Christine tells the story to Fiona & Maggie & Nina

The story of the most amazing hermit crab ever... from my perspective

I literally don't know how much of this story is true other than the punch line... I'll need my mom to say so!

One Uncle Bill story was not enough, so we had a second..... and it's kind of like a legit part 2!  

A story about one of the times that Uncle Bill was living in San Francisco... a real classic :)

The time Carlos, Tim Knight, me AND Avi were playing with dry ice....it was loud (that's a hint)

Another classic David & Sean story one on the heels of Liam making money doing recycling here in Schull!  Just me & Liam this time ;0

Christine is the host with the kids + nieces!  And tells an absolute incredible, hard to believe story from her life.  And then more.  Lots of kid questions in this one!!

Yup Christine is the host tonight!  She's with the kids + our nieces, and talks about a very special song that is actually a derivative of opening chorus by Sir Mix-a-Lot "Baby got Back"....

More stories from grad school!  And again, I wasn't there for this one!  Our pals Greg & Keith are back, and this time our pal Antoinette is there too :). 

Another one about my Avi in Spain, and yes, more stories about pet animals :)

Telling stories of my grandfather (so my Avi... or the kids GranAvi).... this one when he came across a kid in Balboa Park, who was giving certain things away....

This one I really need Greg & Keith to weigh in on, as I wasn't there at all but it was pretty funny ;0

Part 1 of stories involving our friend Ugo B. from Michigan... here's one when he picked a friend for help that didn't really make senes

A fun "Daddy teaching story", this one is at Michigan and apparently this was a life or death situation for this particular student... he had a great name by the way ;0

.....and the answer is yes! Twice!  here we go ;0

A very quick story about someone named Cote (who is the best), that Liam had big feelings for... This is the 1st time ever that we recorded a story and THEN appended a seperate recording to the end of this one. The punchline comes out early... be sure to click on the album cover for this one :)

This one really happened and I didn't make it up. Marty/Steve, if you're listening, let us know what you think of this story

Scotty Walker of podcast fame joins us for a tale while we are all at dinner about Jeff Gambito and a classic 90s movie "Jerry Maguire".... I only slightly remember this ;0

This is another David & Sean story, really only David this time... this one is me being really weird due to my liking comic books ;0

True and embarrasing story involving me + CHristine + Roger.  And beets.

Well, it was really big. And not a rock.  We're talking about a vacation in Utah in the mid 2000's where something was in the road that made me jump

This one goes back in time to talk about Sesame Street, Xmas, and Tia Maria.  I wasn't a nice brother sometimes...

this one is about the time I tried to be funny/smart to my 5th grade teacher.... and it didn't go well. 

This one is a classic from 1989 (I think? Can't remember exactly when the 1st Batman movie came out) that involves primo Andres + the TV show "Talk Soup" + the Batman movie + a Prince music video. If you like the "Smooth as a jaccuzzi" catch phrase, you'll have a new one after this.

This one is about the time (there were many of these) that Daddy was hungry and wanted the free pizza...and his friends from lab helped come up with a plan to get it. Listen for the funny excuse given when the plan went south :)

Yup. The title says it all. Add in some nervousness and a trip to Spain, and you got a story. This one come on the heels of Liam having a molar removed!!

True story:  I could see the 'ghost' arrow everytime....every single time. I'm telling the truth. I'm not crazy.

This one is the time I had a birthday party in 2nd grade....and chaos ( i wished for) ensued

Apparently Nuria really REALLY doesn't like this story and continues to blame Avi for it.... You'll hear Avi telling this one as a special guest visitor ;0

This one is not about Daddy...but... Avi's brother and Daddy's Uncle Jordi!  This one goes back in time quite a ways, and is still hilarious ;0

This one is about how I ended up with my classic Chevy Citation.... and how some flames were a part of it 

Ever seen a parent lose their mind at a kid sporting event?  Well.....listen to this one and you may get a sense at the shock I had.... and then the laughing at the end was real too!

So the kids were watching "Kung-Fu Panda 1" and it reminded me of the time that Lapoint (of many stories on this podcast) pulled his own version of the move on me. On accident. I think.

Remember how scared folks were about Y2K?  No? You don't remember because you were not born yet?  Oh yeah, this one is fun and historical

Two stories in one day!  This one is about the time Mommy Chris & I played softball in Michigan, and she didn't quite understand how to tag the runner coming home from 3rd base... 

This one is in honor of Maggie telling me that she is doing a reading contest this year....and how it went for me in 4th grade (and for Avi!)

A relatively recent story where Daddy, I admit, got a little bit frustrated with his children's behavior and possibly reacted a bit too harshly....

This one is about Tia Maria and one of the many stories about her as a kid. Specifically the time that she had a birthday party as a kid and blew away all of the attendees with (several) simple words...

We're with Cousin Clare in Schull.... with our 'usual' cousins too!  Lots of laughing and giggles in this one, no idea if the sound quality is going to be ok ;0

I have no idea how to spell the name of the sweet treat (Micado??!!?)...but it was definitely an issue how they ended up outside the car.  You'll hear a LOT of the cousins in this one....

A great example of not only faulty memory, but I got the song AND the lyrics wrong after going back and looking up the lyrics online (apparently they say "MOVE to the jacuzzi", not SMOOTH....yes, it was Bel Biv Devoe, but "Do me" and not "Poison"... apparently my 90s R&B isn't as strong as I thought).  I'm not changing anything now.....

WOW! This story just happened 3 days ago, but it was so ridiculous, we had to quickly tell the story again.  We're so sad our pals Emilia and Giulia couldn't be here to tell their part, maybe they can add their vision later :)

This one is about the time that someone else (not me, seriously) decided that they were bored enough to visit the local armory in Claremont (well, maybe Kearny Mesa) and go for a drive in something actually much bigger than your typical SUV.  

After talking about the Olympics at bedtime tonight, it brought back memories of being a kid and having one of our own. Lots of faulty memories here, I might need my sister's and parents to weigh in....

A nearly in real-time episode...without the kids! Just Christine & I telling the story of what happened over the weekend in March while dog sitting, when we went for a walk on our local hill and came back with more living animals than expected. The cover image here tells the (gross) entire tale.

This one is relatively recent (October 2023!) and it was about the time I took all 3 kids to get their booster shot.  Let's say it wasn't exactly smooth sailing, even with my seemingly very smart idea to distract them ;0

This one is about the time Cousin Andres flew in from Ecuador and arrived to a party.... and decided to celebrate his arrival in, maybe, not the smartest way.

Yup, a story with lots of exciting background happenings, and maybe (maybe??) these stories aren't appropriate in today's day & age.... I'll take that risk :0
