Deconstructing Dad Podcast

Friend of the show and long time contributing podcaster Grant aka The Kilted One returns to discuss turning 50 years old. He also shares his worries for sending his kids cross country alone for the week to stay with his parents and then shares more worries about them all returning to stay for a while to celebrate his 50th birthday. Grant is aware of some of his Mom's "adult choices" like drinking and smoking a little weed, but he's...

This week I'm back with my girlfriend, Dr. Producer Kyle, to discuss a multitude of things happening in and around our lives. We start off with the big question of "How old is too old for a man to have a child?". This is response to Al Pacino, now in his 80's, fathering a child with his twenty-something year old girlfriend. 

Kyle brings up her love of the Earth and climate, and I confess to having ready made silly questions loaded ...

On occassion my guest will resort to his old eating habits and shamefully eat from multiple fast food resturants in a single meal. After losing 100 pounds and living a much more healthier lifestyle, he still sometimes stuggles with his relationship with food. He also rarely admits when he goes off the rails. Well, he'll admit that he did, but most of the time he will promise to take to the grave what he actually eats when he does g...

Grant returns to the show to answer one question, "What has changed in the way you view the job of parenting, over the years?" 

Should you be completely hands on? Should you be their friend or their overlord? When exacatly can the beatings begin? Okay, that last one was just to see if you're reading this show discription! 

We also discuss the last time we as parents exit a phase of our childrens adolecents and how we've handled tha...

As a father of 5 kids, sometimes you've gotta look back at your own life to appreciate the way the future turned out. Sometimes when you do that, you might have to ridicule how easy it is you're kids now have it. In today's episode, Grant (TK1) my On Hiatus cohost, and cohost to countless podcasts that are also currently on hiatus, joins me to talk about these very things. 

Would your kids recognize a VHS tape? Would they survive t...

In the ongoing attempt to deconstruct Dad, A.K.A. The Angry Ginger, Producer Kyle PhD once again takes on cohosting duties. 

Things discussed in this episode very from us taking Staycations to do some Home Improvements around the house. Being careful not to spend all of the money because we had 3 BIRTHDAYS to celebrate in the span of 2 weeks! Ginger then questions why won't his girlfriend ever dress up for him... even a lil bit? 

B...

I sit down with my long time cohost, Dan to discuss life, parenting and his recent health scare but before all of that he informs me that it's been a year since we last recorded. I can't believe it! We play a little catch up, even though we talk on occassion, there are still things we haven't been able to talk about. Like Dan's trip to the hospital. My trip to Disney with my daughter to go "Drinking Around the World" at Epcot. 

We ...

Producer Kyle PhD joins Jay (sometimes refered to as The Angry Ginger) in this episode where they discuss the Good, the Bad, and The Ugly of thier first year living together. Some of the things discussed are summer vacations interupted, a couple of car crashes, a quick getaway to Vegas, too much roof damage for the insurance to cover, and recovering from an expensive Christmas. 

We also try to solve the age old issue of Streaming I...

Kyle returns to the show as we continue our conversation that started with Part 1 which was previously released over the summer. Yes, it's been awhile. My apologies for my absences and for not being a very good podcaster. 

I'm working on that... so in the meantime please enjoy the rest of a conversation I had months ago with my now live in girlfriend in which we discuss her past dating and sexual experinces in which I have perhaps ...

Cohost Dan sits this one out so my girlfriend. Ahem, excuse me. My now live-in girlfriend, can sit down on mic with and discuss dating after divorce and then dating me. We talk about the slow development from first date to denying we're dating to actually dating to "Hey, ya wanna move in with me and my FIVE kids!? You can bring yours along if ya like!"

Now that we're blending the family and trying to figure that out, there are lots...

Dad's and their riding lawn mowers... am I right? Dan has a new one and he's proud landscaper!

Ginger has officially begun to blend families.

Talks of travel sports, time for the parent over the child. Divorced and decision making around availablitiy is a real thing.

Ginger's daughter calls for a late night pick up. Dad's been drinking. To send and Uber or not?

We weight in on the School shootings and gun rights over kids right to ...

In this episode, Ginger scars his son, whom he thought was sleeping in the backseat, but apparently was wide awake and getting a life lesson from an Eminem Song. Dan becomes a Home Depot-Set Building-Theater Dad. We read about a mother who gets pulled over for drunk driving but denies ever having a drink... until her frightened unbuckled young son tells the truth from the backseat. 

We also share a Top 10 list of Hardships we've ha...

Dan has had it up to hear with parents weaponizing their children. Off with the dead beat dad's heads. 

Ginger's health has taken a surprising turn. Two words, "Heart Attack"? Maybe it's not that bad? Maybe he's in denial? 

Let us know! 

You can...

In what starts out as a great weekend for Ginger, a surprise birthday party, attending a post pandemic concert (is it post?), and family photo's, suddenly turns into one bad thing after another! One kid takes a trip to the hospital, another gets in a bad car wreck while another decided Covid is what the house was missing. All of this and sooooo much more. 

Dan finally lands a beauty and feels blessed. We discuss how odd it is to be...
