Three Men and Their Babies Show

Well, we're one year into the pandemic. How are you doing? We chat about our experience, and discover the uniting power of the tardigrade.

We want to set an example of honesty and integrity for our kids, but what happens when we're confronted with a situation where we may have to bend the truth a smidge? A true moral dilemma, and one where we all have very differing opinions on. Let's boil this frog together and see how it goes! 

It's all fun and games until it's dinner time, at least for some of us. We hit the verbal buffet today; we rap about our kid's first taste of real food, the struggle to get them to eat (or do anything for that matter), questionable child contracts, and all the accoutrements in between.

Bins on bins on bins of kid stuff crammed into every nook and cranny of your home? Yeah, us too. The big question we dig into is if you love it, hate it, or just gave up and let the tidal wave of cheap consumable goods sweep you away into the vast expanse of the cluttered sea? Oh, and we also learn about Sukkot.

Our past shapes how we parent and forms the values we wish to pass on to our children. In this episode, we share an honest, vulnerable conversation about our paths to becoming the fathers we are now. Both joy and trauma prove to be powerful teachers.

Ever been in a situation with your kid(s) that caused you to feel that deep, gut-wrenching fear that stays with you? Yeah, we have too. Protective mechanism, overactive imagination, or there-is-no-fear-here, we're here to talk about it. 

Winning isn't everything and losing provides some of our most valuable lessons. We rap about our experiences trying to teach our kids these principles and the importance of sportsmanship. Also, we'd like to ask the age old question: checkers or chess?

Anthony went and done did it, after all of our talk about having a plurality of children, he's expecting a new little one! We rap about the multiple baby experience, the influence of siblings, and the worst baby names of the year. Congrats again to Anthony, and your ever-burgeoning family, we'll be here for moral support!

We all took time off from work to fully experience that wonderfully exhausting, scary, and joyous time with our new family upgrade, and we're here to talk about it. Plus, what it was like having to manage Baby #1 while Baby #2 was rapidly approaching and upon arrival; never a dull moment.

Hootenannies, pirate ships, relay races, bubble tea, and pillow forts are all part of our repertoire of semi-useful tactics to get our little bed hogs to wind down and settle in for the night. This week we discuss our nighttime rituals, the unexplainable phenomenon of a small child having the ability to take up an entire king size bed, and how one of us was lucky enough to keep their little one sequestered to her Big Girl Bed at night. Honestly, we love every moment of it, and know that if we blink, it'll be all over way too soon.

What do you do when you child won't stop crying? We sure as heck haven't figured it out, but we still have a few tricks we try. Of course we always have the digital babysitter, the iPad, but that opens another Pandora's Box of issues. Come cry with us, bleary-eyed parents!

Passing fancy or a lifelong passion? How do we go about discovering what our ever curious children have an affinity for, while carefully avoiding overly influencing them into things that we love to do. Finally, we discover the b-roll definition of "head and the heart" and we'll never be the same.

Music, the soothing sounds and rhythmic patterns that help shape and enrich our lives. We get the old garage band together, dust off the TR-808, and rap about how music plays a pivotal role in our kids lives. Finally, we pose the next generation's most pivotal question: are you Team Hamilton or Team Greatest Showman? Let us know in the comments.

We wish COVID-19 and the Holidays was just a name of a retro Detroit doo-wop band, but it's the unfortunate reality we live in 2020. The Dads chat about how they plan on navigating the holiday season during this most unique of years.

The Dads take on the hot button subject of spanking. How we choose to discipline our children is a deeply personal choice, and we share where we're at as we try and figure out the art of effectively disciplining our children.

January 13th, 2018 will be a day the three Dads, or any resident of Hawaii, will never forget. We discuss those harrowing 38 minutes, what we did with our families, and what was going through our minds. We're happy to still be here, non-vaporized!

Poop happens; hopefully in a diaper, sometimes on the floor, please never in front of a Roomba, and eventually in a toilet. The Dads take aim at the arduous task of potty training their kids and the hits, and plenty of misses, along the path to diaper independence. Prepare yourselves for poopy pants and itchy butts!

The Dads get together to discuss their thoughts and beliefs on swearing around their kids, and how we go about teaching them the power of these words. Spoiler alert, since we recorded this episode, one of our kids pulled a power move and dropped an F-bomb. Give us a listen and comment who you think the guilty dad is. Get your soap ready, folks, mouths shall be washed!

The almighty Dads get together to discuss social media and their loin fruit. Share every poop, smile, and quirk; or keep your kids hidden offline until they can make their own choices? Keep them tiny beans handy and let's find out!

Life is busy, life is stressful, and we all know the solution to make life easier is to have MORE kids! James, for the sake of this episode, decided to take on this noble endeavor and share his experience thus far with the gang. Endless days, sleepless nights, baby!
