There is a lot of discussion around education in society today. Does education always come from books? Can you find learning opportunities in unconventional places? Is an academic education better than hands-on learning?  With the help of Cody Jinks and "Somewhere in the Middle," we break it down and share some of the life lessons we've learned working on the factory floor.

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Country Cutler    


• FIRST Robotics Competition


• Albert Einstein Quote

Show Notes:

• The Dad Life Sound Check starts off the show with Dave talking about how he needs a vacation from the vacation. Then the kids transfer the virus to him and he is out of commission for a few days. Alabama and a date attending the Tyler Childers concert help pull him through the fact that he has to wear Astros gear to support his son's little league team. Megan Moroney reminds Mick that it is OK for our kids to do things differently than we would.


• 14:35 HARDY Report - "Truck Bed" goes to #1 and Mick thinks HARDY and Beyonce should do a collaboration.


• 19:17 Farm Boy Update - Mick's garden makes him happy but repotting 60 tomato and pepper plants takes awhile.


• 21:00 The Dads break down why "Somewhere in the Middle" is such a great song to illustrate that you can learn something from everyone and that doctors are not necessarily superior to world champion roller skaters. Is achievement culture really helping us raise our kids? The Dads share what their first jobs were and why everyone needs work in a restaurant or customer service at some point in their life.
