About this episode

Frank and Carlo celebrate Baby Josie's first birthday while sharing humorous parenting stories and advice for dads.

Welcome back to the Parenting podcast for dads where the combined age is 111 and the IQ is… well, we're working on it! In today's episode, Frank and Carlo celebrate a massive milestone: Baby Josie is officially ONE! We dive into some funny parenting stories about how Josie finally learned to crawl forward—not for a book or food, but to chase Watson the dog. If you're looking for baby advice or new dad advice, look no further than Frank's "Diaper Diet" update. Using Gemini AI, Frank has pivoted to a high-protein plan to keep up with dad life, proving that even older dads can find a rhythm between bison burgers and birthday parties. We also tackle some serious fatherhood advice in our "Book Report" on a Wall Street Journal article by Aylan Woodward. It turns out raising kids to be elite specialists isn't the key to success; having three competing interests is the "sweet spot". From Josie eating banana peppers at a Valentine's dinner to navigating a Syracuse whiteout and a "maze-like" Ikea, this episode is packed with humor in life and parenting comedy only a Gen X dad could truly appreciate. Whether you're here for fatherhood tips, parent advice, or just some classic dad humor…
