Description

Not Bad Dad is a show about celebrating being dads, sharing struggles, and having fun. Each week starts with a main topic and then usually wanders off on related tangents. It's like hanging out with the guys.

Fuzz lives in the Midwest, is a dad, and is a former morning show host turned advertising exec.
Jeff also lives in the Midwest, is also a dad, and is a designer.
Our guest dads vary in that some are moms. And some are neither.

We keep the language clean, but sometimes we get a little edgy.

We're nearing three weeks in the stay-at-home apocalypse and we're podcasting to give you and us something else to do. We'll talk about some positives along with the struggles. It's a great episode. (Note: Fuzz wrote this description before we started podcasting, so that last line could be b.s.)
Fuzz & Shanna live from Quarantine Central. It's the first week of who knows how many due to the coronavirus / COVID-19 crisis. In this episode, we talk about how we're getting along as parents, homeschooling, working from home, etc. during the national shutdown. Thanks for listening! Stay safe.
Ben's back on the show! This week, we talk about the things your dad espoused in you learned to be completely false. Gaslighting your kids in general. Live as though your father is dead. Swearing in front of your kids. Cheering for teams when spouses are from different states. And, we learn why Fuzz got booed at a Milwaukee Bucks game.
A quick recap of Milwaukee Irish Fest, our kid hates to leave places, daddy's "black wine," Fuzz's experience with the Working Against Gravity diet (and previous RP experience), not an ad for Hello Fresh, and the coffeetastrophe.
Not Bad Mom joins the podcast for the first time! We chat about a recent excursion with our four-year-old that was eye-opening, to say the least. We also touch on smoking meats and using condiments as action figures to get the younglings to eat. It's all on this week's episode!

Anxiety over kids on social media, and speaking of, NextDoor is an insane dystopian nightmare. Also, if baldness was caused by a virus, would you vaccinate your male kids against it?
After three years, Jeff is back! He gives us the 10,000 foot view of how life has changed since we last spoke, what it's like being a single father of four, ultra-marathoning, we talk about the scam that was cassingles, and which team is Jeff on? Ari, Katy, Lady, or Taylor?
