Our Favorite Things — 2022 Edition

12/30/22 • 34 min

It's time for the second installment in our annual recap of everything life, Star Wars, the wider geek universe had to offer us in 2022. Nate joins for this special edition, where we share our top picks for 2022, biggest disappointments (somehow DC made both those lists!).
As you wind down your 2022, we'd love to hear what you thought of this year! Feel free to drop us a line with your favorite thing of 2022, what most disappointed you this year (unless it was us...hehe), and something special you're thinking back on as the year wraps up. See you in 2023, when we'll kick off the year, literally, ninja style, with another installment in our Fatherhood in Geek Media series, this time covering the OG 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's gonna be shell-tacular.

We are The Parentacons. Three dads, all BIG geeks, sharing stories from our lives as parents, as geeks, and our eternal quest to bridge the two worlds. Join our Fellowship and follow along anywhere you get your podcasts, and check out all of our content on our website. www.parentacons.com.
Thanks for listening, we love you 3,000!

The Parentacons 2022 Holiday Special

Family, no matter what kind, is truly the best gift of all. This year, as our holiday gift to you, The Parentacons are reviewing Disney's recent Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, which was more of a Christmas special, but more on that later.
This episode, as part of our Fatherhood in Geek Media series The Parentacons break down Drax and Mantis's quest to bring home the ultimate gift for their fearless leader—StarLord, aka Peter Quill. And, if you haven't seen the special yet...spoiler alert! That gift is Kevin Bacon, who turns out to be one heck of a guitar player.
Strap in, sit back, and grab your little man...I mean some candy canes...it's holiday time on The Parentacons.

Pizza, Pizza!

It's pizza night at The Parentacons! Every Friday night–like parents all across the United States–Ian, Derrick, and Jay sit down to share a pizza with their families. Whether your pie is delivered from that special place, baked on a pizza steel to aid energy transfer, or crisped to perfection in your brand new Ooni, everyone has a preference and opinion on what goes into the perfect pie. This week, we sit down with our new friend Eidref, host of the What's Good Dough podcast, to see what's he's learned after dozens of interviews with the pizza pro and experts he hosts on his podcast.
Eidref also happens to be, by now, a new dad. Congratulations, Eidref! When we sat down with him, he was eagerly anticipating the birth of his first child, who was born a week after our recording. He was kind enough to share his hopes, pizza dreams, and trepidations headed into fatherhood, including his plan to nail his first official baby pickup.
