|EP163|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I talk about something that I think should be on the radar of all parents yet it isn't.  I take a dive into the realm of Youtube and Youtube Kids! I give you my opinion on what I've personally seen as well as talk about my firsthand experience attempting to set up an account for my kids.  I then get into an article I found on Reddit where many other parents are talking about their experiences with the app as well as some disturbing experiences their kids had.  Lastly, I discuss what we can do and some better options.  The articles I referenced are linked below if you want to check them out.  Thank you so much for listening, if you have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Mommit/comments/15vz1ci/youtube_kids_is_not_safe_it_is_not_netflix_kids/ https://www.reddit.com/r/karaoke/comments/7j4apx/karaoke_app_machine_or_website_for_8_year_old_kid/ https://support.google.com/families/answer/10495678?hl=en#zippy=%2Chow-youtube-kids-works https://pbskids.org Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP161|  Today on this Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show talking about my ten year old daughter making it home from her big trip to Costa Rica.  I also mention my 7 year old experiencing life as an only child, even thought just for a week.  I then talk about some things I have going on and what will be coming down the pipe.  The remainder the show is from episode 108, way back in April of 2023 and that description is listed below. Today I talk about doing things for myself as well as for others to save money, to make a little money on the side, but also to keep growing myself and my knowledge base.  I then get into a common phrase we tend to hear that some generations don't really want to work anymore and why that may be.  Lastly, I continue talking about side hustles, something I did back at episode 30, with more examples we could do to make some extra money from getting your hands dirty fixing and hauling things to proof reading or taking surveys.  If you have ever done something to earn some extra money on the side I would love to hear your experience, so please send me a message on Pod Bean or on my Instagram page @stayathomedads_podcast.   Links:  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-10/no-one-wants-to-work-anymore-meme-shows-complaint-is-as-old-as-work-itself https://www.inc.com/nick-hobson/for-gen-z-career-grind-is-dead-they-see-things-differently-in-1-important-way.html https://goshare.co/drivers/ https://truckit-app.com https://www.podia.com https://eurekasurveys.com https://www.fiverr.com https://www.upwork.com Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP158|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I discuss a difficult time I'm currently dealing with.  The infamous neighborhood garage sale!  Since spring time, well now early summer is usually a time of cleaning house and getting rid of unwanted items, I thought it was fitting to talk about ways to make this process easier.  I reference two articles and talk about the health benefits for adults, teaching kids to declutter, and what those benefits are for both.  A lot of rapid fire tips today so hopefully some useful things you can adapt to your own scenario.   Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://www.matherhospital.org/wellness-at-mather/health-wellness/spring-cleaning-5-health-benefits-to-decluttering-your-life/ https://thissimplifiedhome.com/teach-kids-to-declutter/ Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP157|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I saw an article that caught my eye from The Chive about little tips and tricks to "Play Life On Easy Mode" as they put it that sounded interesting and potentially helpful so I decided to talk about it.  These are just little things and I mean little things that are super easy to do that we can incorporate into our lives and routines that will indeed make our lives easier.  I also add a few of my own life tips that I use on a regular basis as well.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://thechive.com/lifestyle/mind-blowing/little-helpful-tips-tricks-that-people-use-on-a-daily-basis-to-play-life-on-easy-mode-18-gifs/?utm_postid=4700555&utm_editor=4700555_bob&utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Chive%20Daily%205.21.24%20%28Father%27s%20Day%29&_kx=inhEZ2IkxD9Alj1LE2LHTYISOwzWlPPK5FoiRvl1if0.TZgwnh Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP156|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I talk about a meme I came across that depicted how minimal a guy can live and be content.  A few comments on the post indicated that some people in fact didn't like how that could be possible.  This got me thinking of other things us men do that irritates or bothers our wives.  I say things men do but all of these could easily be reversed.  Things from not brushing your teeth to not talking about what's on your mind.  Just some basic stuff that we could all be a little better at.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://hackspirit.com/things-men-do-in-relationships-that-women-secretly-hate/ Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP155|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I continue the discussion I had the other week about kids sports particularly girls in sports.  I had some more thoughts and even a few corrections about the previous episode that I wanted to clarify.  I then dive a little deeper into this issue researching and looking into why young girls quit sports, what some of the benefits are of staying in sports, and how do we as parents and coaches keep them in the game.  It is a very link heavy episode so please read through those if interested.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0D5MU6_0n0 https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/do-you-know-the-factors-influencing-girls-participation-in-sports/ https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/advocacy/benefits-sports-participation-girls-women/ https://womeninsport.org/news/girls-as-young-as-five-years-old-dont-feel-that-they-belong-in-sport/ https://isport360.com/keep-girls-in-sports/ Coaching Girls training link: https://www.keepgirlsinsport.com/2-safe-supportive-culture/a-introduction/ Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP154|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I go completely off script and talk about a few random, non related topics that have been going on in my life lately.  First off I mention party planning for my wife's 40th birthday party.  I talk about the level of stress involved in undertaking such a task and how easy it would have been to just go on line and book a trip but also how I believe it's important to do something special for your spouse.  I also talk about the importance of showing up for your spouse on special occasions whether it be birthdays, anniversaries, or any moment really where we should do something special for them to show them what they meat to us.  The second random topic I embark on is kids sports.  I talk about my daughter's experience playing sports, her struggles, and what I think the next steps should be when things don't work out.  I also ask a bunch of questions  that I hope you can help me answer;  Why are sports so important?  Why do parents seem to emphasize them so much?  How do we pivot when kids come home crushed?  I will follow up on this topic on the next episode as I have more to say.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP153|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show with the monumental eclipse we had this week.  Quite a sight to see but also such a huge buildup to something that's over in minutes.  I then get into a book I have been reading called Let Them Be Kids by Jessica Smartt.  I go over a few things I read so far that really resonated with me like over scheduling our kids, limiting technology, and how the primary thing kids should be doing is play.  I also go over her 6 facts about tech and our kids.  This book is a great read so far so I highly recommend it, I'll link it in the text below.  Thank you so much for listening, if you have any questions or comments for me, please reach me at the links below!   Links:  Amazon Links:  https://amzn.to/3xB57QP Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

Today on this Dad Classic Episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I dip up an oldie from 2021 where I get into the meaning of the Movember movement and men's health. Have a great Thanksgiving weekend!   Happy November, or Movember as it's also called these days.  I actually came across a story on social media about mens mental health awareness and that men are more likely to commit suicide much more often than women so I thought this warranted a discussion.  I also take a deep dive into Britney Spears and her mental health, as well as taking a look into what Movember is all about.  Enjoy!  Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP123|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I open the show with a question, a question I think needs to be asked more often to friends and family, a question that has so motive, no angle, just a genuine care toward someone else.  I then talk about a few things on my mind that I saw while perusing social media, one which was a woman seemingly lost without her technology or other things to occupy her time while living off grid.  And another another social media personality complaining about different types of podcasts.  Both of these I chime in on, giving my perspective as well as posing a few questions to you.  Lastly, on this loosely structured episode I talk about an article I found where Reddit users state things they are simply too old to deal with anymore.  I discuss, add a few of my own, and realize that yes while there are some things I am not longer willing to do at my age there are still plenty that I am more than willing to partake in.   Links:  https://www.huffpost.com/entry/older-adults-too-old-reddit_n_64c45d71e4b03ad2b898753b Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP119|  Today on this Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I dug deep and found episode 22, a fun one where I talked about things husbands wished their wives knew.  Since I am currently on the road with little to no internet service there will be no current intro for today's episode so you may have to listen to that cringeworthy On This Day spot I used to do.  Anyways, enjoy this dad classic and I will talk you next week!   Since last week I found a nice list of what wives wish their husbands knew I figured it was fitting that I went over the sister article to it; 10 Things Husbands Wish Their Wives Knew.  I found some interesting tips in it and it was actually fun to see what some other men and husbands are saying out there.  Hope you enjoy, the link is below if you want to check out the article.     Top Ten Article:  https://www.thedatingdivas.com/10-things-husbands-wish-wives-knew/ •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast • Instagram: @stayathomedads_podcast Web: https://stayathomedads.podbean.com Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by:  Track Tribe

|EP116|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I talk about an interesting moment that highlights being an adult I think, finally getting called a certain name.  I then get into the marriage dynamic and reference an article on 25 things we need to do to be a better spouse.  I am no professional in this realm but I do my best to explain and talk about some obvious and not so obvious things we could be better at.  Even if we don't have marital problems, it never hurts to educate ourselves and learn more about it.  Links:  https://www.marriage.com/advice/relationship/how-to-be-a-good-spouse/ https://www.marriage.com/advice/communication/4-tips-for-improving-communication-in-a-marriage/ Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP115|  Today on Stay At Home Dads podcast I open the show with my new RV woes and the problems we had on the very first trip we took it on.  It's such a frustrating experience when you spend all this money and think you're covered but we potentially may not be.  I then talk about a heroic story of a kid in Michigan jumping into action to save people which ties into the topic of today of kids being preoccupied by cell phones and devices not to notice life going on around them.  I talk about a few negative effects and mention a study on this topic as well as what we can do to make sure our kids don't over use screens.  Lastly I play a short clip about adults being engrossed in their phones so much that they're missing out on things around them as well as not allowing their brain to clear out thoughts and ideas because we are bombarding it with content constantly.  If you have any questions or comments please head over to my Pod Bean or Instagram page which are listed below.  Thanks for listening!   Links:  https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/family/story/7th-grader-jumps-action-save-bus-driver-students-98902863#:~:text=Dillon%20Reeves%2C%20a%20seventh%20grader,driver%20and%20other%20students%20Wednesday.&text=Dillon%20Reeves%20is%20credited%20for,bus%20driver%20and%20other%20students. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/14/michigan-boy-saved-school-bus-no-cellphone https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36805495/ https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2023/03/424931/screen-time-tied-suicide-risk-tweens-dont-panic#:~:text=So%20your%20study%20found%20that,increased%20the%20risk%20by%209%25. https://www.centreforsight.net/news-and-media/smartphones-a-major-reason-for-pediatric-vision-problems/ Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe
