06/13/23 • 45 min

....Well that umm...... that got kind of dark there, but i think it took us to an interesting place we can learn from. With that said episode 6 Part 1 is in our rear view and this spaceship is taking off without looking back to take us to Episode 6 part 2. Were on the look out for new type of geometry to fit our new thoughts on expectations into, new ways to arrange the expectations we have and finding ways to fit those oddly shaped unexpected aspects of life into our accepted paradigm. All this to say that having seen the dark side of expectations lets emerge into a more hopeful part of the conversation and learn to accept the unexpected in ourselves and our children.

Episode 6 Part 1: Papa Johns and the Peculiar Problem with Expectations

We all have expectations of ourselves, of others, of our kids. Your probably expecting me to make this description a little wacky and funny, this time around though I will be subverting those expectations. The conversation tonight centers around an anecdote that Frank the Tank tells. This one gets a little heavy and will challenge you to really take the topic to heart. This is also a two part episode as we had another story to tell about expectations and it would be too much for just one episode. So please, join us on this journey as we tackle the topic of expectations and how they can affect both parent and child.

Episode 7 Part 1: Tackling the Totem Pole of Testosterone

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.
