Dad Not Daddy: Recent Episodes
Willie Cross & Justin Austin
Two guys. One's about to be a dad. The other probably won't ever be a dad. Tune in to hear us tackle the biggest issues around fatherhood and provide absolutely defensible conclusions on the topic.
We're back after an involuntary hiatus. We weren't kidnapped or anything, just had a long overdue recording snafu! In that interim period, we decided the podcast is now about real estate. Hopefully you all are into that!
There's a Taylor Swift reference in the first two minutes of this episode, so you know it's gonna be a doozy.
Matis Miller is the author of 'The Uncontrollable Child: Understand and Manage Your Child's Disruptive Moods with Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills', and the founder, director, and supervisor of The Center for Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy of New Jersey. Matis joined us for a great conversation on his book and the concept of CBT.
Willie admits he is subjecting himself to yet another hobby, but for the most part just complains about not getting enough attention from Justin.
Gonzo is an old man and old dad, but he knows how to whip the young whipper snappers Justin and Willie into shape. Somehow we made it to ten episodes!
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT You only need to listen to the intro for that, though. Everyone hates Scott, but we wanted to interview him because he asked to be on the show. Hopefully you all get something out of this episode, I guess.
The boys have a wonderful conversation with a delightful Midwestern gentleman with strong opinions on baby carrier backpacks.
This week's guest (and Justin's brother) Andrew Austin discusses becoming a dad during the pandemic. Also, Justin finally asks his brother everything he should have already, and Willie mostly shuts up for once.
The boys get a little too invested in a conversation about cars and have to crawl out of that hole to keep this whole dumb thing on topic.
We couldn't resist talking more about diapers (or the lack thereof) so hopefully y'all aren't tired of that content! Willie also attempts to assert his dad knowledge dominance over Justin and falls incredibly short.
We discuss baby vaccinations, baby diapers, baby influencers, and Willie shares a deeply hurtful personal experience with the one and only Tom Selleck.
Justin is gracious enough to let Willie name his unborn child, and we discuss men's skincare routines in excruciating detail.
Are gray sweatpants suitable for wearing in public? Is Justin a member of a secret order of dads? Does brain trauma explain why Willie is such a lunatic? All this and more in our second episode!
Welcome to Dad Not Daddy! We really don't know what we're doing or where this will go, but let's have some fun anyway!
