Operation DadCast: Recent Episodes
Joe Friend
Dive in with me as I explore the life of a dad through comedic and realistic stories. As a father of two boys, I am excited to share what I have been through, what I look forward to, and what many can relate to.
Joy becomes a whole new meaning when the status on your Facebook page changes to 'parent.'
Join my mom and I as we discuss the importance of a mother and the nurturing relationship they provide. Also, enjoy the special guest appearance of little AJ and the air vent.
Where does the time go? Time is but a perception, an approach. Approach this life by enjoying the little details. Join me as I read a snippet of what I have written about DadTime.
Join Mrs. Claus, the heating unit in the background, and I as we read through the Candy Store Mad Lib and do some ASMR! By the way, the only way to say ASMR is with a sassy tone, you'll see.
Comic Book Hero! Micah and I fill in this silly mad lib, even though his attention wasn't all there, we got it done!
My older brother, Nick, and I discuss the influence we, as dads, have on our kids. We also discuss what it means to influence and be an example learning from experiences and different situations.
Abbie and I vent about the wonderful (sarcasm) Saturday we had with our toddler, who defined what is to be a monster 70-80% of the time with a lack of sleep and emotional mental state. Remember, we weren't born parents.
Aunt Liv, Uncle Brad and I discuss our interests, where they came from, and how important parents play in the interests of kids. Join us with our stories and our good times.
Abbie and I read The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg. Throw in a little movie reference from time to time and this Christmas classic is aways a joy to read or watch.
Join Mariah and I as we explore what it means for a parent to drop off and pick up kids at daycare. Mariah shares her experience of working at a preschool/daycare and shares the impact of her dad.
Just a quick Veteran's Day special to say thank you to all serving and who have served. My wife, Abbie, and I briefly talk military and share an insight into our second son's name, Arlen.
Join Pastor Matt and I as we talk about the difference of attitudes between my two year old and his two teenagers, ages 14 and 15. Within, we talk about the stages of attitude and where it can lead our children. We discuss the impact our attitudes as dad's and parents have, and how as the children grow, our attitudes and disciplinary actions evolve.
A brief, rough draft, journey through my dad's past as he became a dad at an early age, the transitions he went through, and to where he is now. Also, we share stories and explore the meaning of "Dad being Dad."
