Hi Podcast! I'm Dad.

Welcome to the Maze of Masculinity: do you go left, right, forward, backward, up or down? Truth is, no one knows the right direction. Men have been trying to navigate their way through this maze since the beginning of time, and if you're a dad don't worry there's a whole subsection of the maze specifically for you known as the Dungeon of Dad-ness. The problem with the maze is we're all stuck in here, and most of us don't realize it. Everyone's trying to find out what it means to be a man using advice from others in the maze, but we all just wind up being the blind leading the blind. Spoiler alert, your two faithful hosts here are in the maze too so don't expect a path to the exit from us. Just maybe though, we can help map out these cantankerous corridors a bit so that one day someone will find the exit and let the rest of mankind know how to get there.

The towering totem pole of testosterone looms large over all men and fathers. It is the measuring stick we stand on our tippy-toes up against to try and be that much more masculine then the next guy. We all do it even if we don't realize it, but why? No one is asking us to be the apex man standing atop all masculinity like a silverback gorilla on top of the mountain, are they? We have decided to tackle this topic and examine ourselves and how the tower of testosterone affects our self-image and our parenting styles. So join us on this trail and maybe we'll find some jokes and insight along the way.

Now see here, I know we spoke about discipline before..... but lets be honest we all knew that one episode is not enough for such a complicated topic. Today with the help of special guest "CK Preparatory" we hit the metaphorical dance floor to talk about discipline once again, this time though we'll home in on the giant red stomping elephant in the room that is anger. We all experience it, we all know it, and we all fail to control it on occasion, so what part if any does anger play in how we discipline. Is it a positive, a negative, neutral, or a non-factor? I'm not sure anyone in the world knows the definitive answer but we're sure as hell going to pick at it until we're at least satisfied with the points we make. With that being said, if poking the big red angry elephant in the room results in it being even angrier, well we're going to poke it anyway for our amusement and yours. So, sit back, relax grab a drink and wander down this winding trail with us.
