Stay at Home Dads Podcast

|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

|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

|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

|EP151|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show talking about a recent trip to Texas my wife and I took for work as well as some sight seeing, exploring, as well as the many positive interactions we had with people that live there.  The talk of travel made me think of today's topic of living with regret, that people typically regret not traveling, seeing the world or doing certain things when their young, and find they no longer can when they're old.  So today I discuss an article that mentions the top 8 things a group of 1500 elderly people regret and what we can do to not be in the same boat as them when we become their age.  Thank you so much for listening, if you have any questions or comments for me, please reach me at the links below!   Links:  https://www.today.com/health/biggest-regrets-older-people-share-what-they-d-do-differently-t118918 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

Hopefully this will enlighten you as it did me and make us all be better husbands.   Links:  https://www.instagram.com/reel/CxdSlWwgErJ/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==   https://www.reddit.com/r/JustNoSO/comments/hx65d1/is_there_a_worst_husband_ever_award_because_i/ https://www.everydayhealth.com/emotional-health/9-bad-habits-could-ruin-your-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

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I start off talking about a 5k I recently ran with a couple friends.  Something I knew was coming up yet still never trained for!  It was hard but I did it, I finished.  I then mention something very difficult my daughter is going through and expand on this topic of us and our kids ability to do hard things.  I discuss the repercussions of not having our kids conquer hard things as well as what we can do to help them do it, having them figure things out on their own to build that confidence, tenacity, and strength and how doing so benefits them in the long run.    Links:  https://philosophybreak.com/articles/socratic-method-what-is-it-how-can-you-use-it/ 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 no 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 no 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

|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

|EP112|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show talking about politics, discussing some interesting and ridiculous comments made by a California city council member.  Nithya Raman suggests we should put blame for auto part theft on big corporations rather than the criminals themselves.  I then get into the topic of parenting styles and my own struggle with being at times, an over parent.  Doing too much, helping too much, and just being a little too overbearing are things I think some of us can relate to.   I talk about some of the pros and cons of this parenting style as well as why we tend to do it despite the negative effects it can have on children.  I will continue this conversation next week talking about other parenting styles like free range parenting and the effects they have on kids as well.  If you have any questions of comments please check out Stay At Home Dads instagram page @stayathomedads_podcast or on my Pod Bean page.  Thanks for listening!  Links:  https://www.dailynews.com/2023/05/03/progressive-los-angeles-council-member-blames-toyota-for-your-catalytic-converter-being-stolen/ https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-04-11/los-angeles-passes-new-strategy-for-tackling-catalytic-converter-theft https://www.verywellfamily.com/signs-that-you-overparenting-your-child-1095052 https://www.parentingforbrain.com/overparenting/#:~:text=Overparenting%20is%20a%20parenting%20style,aspect%20of%20the%20child%27s%20life.

|EP107|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I talk about self care, how important it is, and making sure our own needs are met as parents so we can be the best version of ourselves for our families.  Self care is very subjective, and the things I do for self care could be much different than your own.  I start off by describing what self care is as well as mention a few examples of what it could look like.  I then go through a few others steps on making it happen like making a plan, keeping your family in the loop, as well as being consistent.  Self care doesn't work if we aren't consistent!  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to reach out to me on podbean or my instagram account @stayathomedads_podcast.   Links:  https://www.verywellfamily.com/self-care-for-parents-4178010 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 Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I talk about my results from the assertive assessment I talked about last week.  It was no surprise, I'm not very assertive!  I continue talking about assertiveness when a prime moment came up for me exercise my assertive skills with one of the many contractors I've had at my house these last few weeks.  After not being happy with his work, I took it upon myself to do what he should have done, and take care of the issue.  This dawned the thought of how I tend to just do things myself when I feel like I can't rely on others and how this even spills over to our family and kids.  Why do we do it?  What are the ramifications of it?  Links to the articles I referenced are listed below.     Assertiveness Survey: https://testyourself.psychtests.com/testid/3091 Links: https://orgcoach.net/are-you-suffering-from-do-everything-myself-syndrome/ https://www.healthline.com/health/parenting/parents-who-do-everything-for-their-child#how-to-stop Video: https://lifehacker.com/show-your-kids-that-you-rely-on-them-1842085329 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:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

Today On Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I open the show by venting about some issues I've been having with one of the largest search engines on the web, youtube!  I talk about a current issue I'm having dealing with a copyright claim from a bogus company that's trying to take advantage of a flaw in youtube that hurts small creators like myself.  I then get into recapping some things I talked about with my friend Tj last week.  Some things in our conversation I missed elaborating on and talking about more in depth so I address some of those today.  Things about addiction as well as the importance of a father or mother in the home, or both.  I also mention an older episode where I talk bout the misdiagnosis of ADHD so that is linked below if you haven't heard it.     Links: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-z6x2x-1151288 https://www.npr.org/2022/01/15/1071282194/addiction-substance-recovery-treatment https://www.fatherly.com/health/science-benefits-of-fatherhood-dads-father-effect https://abilitypath.org/ap-resources/what-is-social-emotional-development/ https://childandfamilyblog.com/fathers-influence-child-development-2/ https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/moms-stay-children-early-years-article-1.3160717 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:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I welcome fishing guide TJ back on the show.  We talk about the popularity of sport fishing over the years as well as the current state of over fishing on Lake Of The Woods in Minnesota.  The issue with having many visitors and fishermen to a particular lake is great for business, especially if your guiding those clients, but what comes with it is the potential to over fish a lake.  We also talk about slot limits for fish, as well as catch and release.  Links to TJ's guide services are listed below.   Links: Lake of The Woods Reel Fishing Adventures. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100075953985013 Beyond Sundown LLC. https://www.beyondsundownllc.com/?fbclid=IwAR2QpbboYGvTk4v9D9zBrk_nWmdCr-WX3qSSuq-vZ13JQFuArw1nspc9Fxw https://www.facebook.com/BeyondSundownLLC 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:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

|EP144|On today's  Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Podcast, I open the show talking about New Years, that it's great to have fresh goals and aspirations for the new year but we also need to make sure we focus on making the change, whatever it may be, day by day.   I also mention the loss of Ken Block, one of the greatest professional drivers in the motorsports world. I talk about his career and his famed Gymkhana video series.   Lastly I talk about a thought I had over the holiday break about the importance of actually playing with our kids rather than giving them copious amounts of things to occupy their time.  I reference a few article that talk about the importance for not just the kids but the parents as well to play, pretend, and immerse ourselves into that world.  It's more important than you think!   Links: https://www.cnn.com/2021/07/05/health/play-with-your-kids-health-benefits-wellness/index.html https://www.thurstontalk.com/2020/02/28/the-surprising-benefits-of-play-for-parents-and-their-children/ https://extension.psu.edu/movement-builds-a-childs-brain 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: ww.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority   Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I get a little sentimental and reflect on doing this podcast for almost two years.  I open up about how I come up with content, how I create this show, and how I sometimes struggle and stress over if I am providing something of value to you.  I also talk about learning on the fly and being self taught, the same way I became a diesel mechanic years ago.  Lastly, I mention happiness and success, the different meanings they have from person to person and what it means to me.  I also play a short clip from Gary V that talks about peoples typical idea of being successful and happy.  Please follow me on Podbean or on your listening platform and don't forget to review this show!    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:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast is another Dad Classics episode of a great conversation I had with a local teacher in my community named Sharon.  We talk about how to keep kids on a good track over the summer break to keep them learning, growing, and not constantly plugged into the tv.  Since we are now on winter break for a couple weeks, I thought those ideas would be fitting to talk about again.  This is part one of that conversation, if you would like part two, it is linked below.  I will be back next week with a brad new episode!  Merry Christmas!  Links: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-uzpkc-126b063 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:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

On today's episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I talk about the holiday gift giving crossroads we all come to, what in the hell to buy our spouses for Christmas.  I decided to take a detour and talk about what not to buy, instead of what we should buy.  Well, according to the internet, we shouldn't buy anything!  In reality, we know our wives, and if we pay attention, then we shouldn't have to rely on lists to get us through the holiday season.  Articles I referenced are listed below, please don't forget to rate or review this podcast on your listening platform and follow me on podbean.com!     Links: https://www.moneytalksnews.com/15-worst-gifts-for-women/ https://www.allprodad.com/worst-gifts-to-give-a-woman/ https://www.menshealth.com/sex-women/g19534246/women-reveal-worst-gifts-they-have-recieved/ https://www.giftster.com/news/2022/01/14/15-unspoken-rules-of-gift-giving/ 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:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

|EP146| Today on this Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I start off with more complaining!  I thought it was tough when my two girls had an E-day, well now they got sick and missed school for multiple days.  Along with navigating that, I myself got sick!  So today I talk about things I personally do when I'm sick to bounce back as fast as I can.  I also check the internet to see if my ideas are total bull, or have some validity.  Disclaimer, my ideas and tips are not new or ground breaking, they are just things I do that seem to really work for me and hopefully work for you as well.   Links: Zinc: https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/news/20211102/zinc-might-help-shorten-your-cold-or-flu https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/expert-answers/zinc-for-colds/faq-20057769 Tea: https://www.healthline.com/health/cold-flu/tea-for-colds#green-tea https://www.thehealthy.com/cold-flu/drink-tea-for-cold-and-flu-symptoms/ Exercise: https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/exercise-when-you-have-the-flu Sauna: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2248758/ Cold shower: https://www.healthline.com/health/cold-shower-benefits#improved-circulation 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: @thederz Outro song: Track Tribe

Today on Stay at Home Dads Podcast, I open the show talking about the struggle a school cancellation can bring, and the headache that can ensue with setting up your kids E day. Logging them in on the computer, navigating windows, and answering a million questions from curious kids can be quite stressful.   I then get into the dynamic of kids and parents, and the amount of respect or lack of respect they can show us. I discuss an article I found that talks about what respect is and what it looks like from our kids, as well as effective ways we can teach it to them.  Links for today's show are listed below.  Happy Thanksgiving!    Links: https://www.parentingforbrain.com/6-controversial-tips-teaching-kids-respect/ https://kidshelpline.com.au/teens/issues/all-about-respect https://www.romper.com/p/7-signs-your-child-respects-you-even-if-they-roll-their-eyes-5548 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 •Instagram:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

Today on Stay at Home Dads Podcast I talk about a lot of politics!  Starting off with voting, the ways people vote, researching candidates, and how much of a pain in the ass it all really is.  Yes I know it's our duty to do it but if your not just voting by reading a political sign or watching a candidates ad on tv then there is a lot more work that goes into researching every politician’s platform.  The second political talking point I touch on is the Biden college reimbursement program.  Yes, I know I am a little late to the party on this point but I think its worth talking about especially now that it's currently paused.  I also talk about what got us in the mess in the first place, the outrageous cost of college and all that's associated with it, as well as what I think could be done or changed to make college easier to pay for and more accessible for students.  Links to the articles and data I mentioned are listed below.    Links: https://studentaid.gov/debt-relief-announcement https://time.com/6224104/student-loan-forgiveness-plan-halted/ https://educationdata.org/average-cost-of-college-by-year 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 •Instagram:  @vegasraymer •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority

Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I talk about a Reddit post I came across about a woman who was venting about the awful things her husband does and thought about leaving constantly.  There were many more people in the comments complaining about similar things so I wanted to know more.

On today's episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I start with something I observed at my local park.  Did I read into the situation too much?  You be the judge.  I also rant about another situation I witnessed which led me to talk about the main topic of today's episode, the work ethic and drive of a certain generation, the Z type, as well as some Millennials.  I theorize as to why they are the way they are as well as what we can do within our own families and kids to try and instill those values of a great work ethic and doing the best they can so they succeed in life and adulthood.  I reference a few articles that are linked below.
