|EP163|  Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I talk about something that I think should be on the radar of all parents yet it isn't.  I take a dive into the realm of Youtube and Youtube Kids! I give you my opinion on what I've personally seen as well as talk about my firsthand experience attempting to set up an account for my kids.  I then get into an article I found on Reddit where many other parents are talking about their experiences with the app as well as some disturbing experiences their kids had.  Lastly, I discuss what we can do and some better options.  The articles I referenced are linked below if you want to check them out.  Thank you so much for listening, if you have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://www.reddit.com/r/Mommit/comments/15vz1ci/youtube_kids_is_not_safe_it_is_not_netflix_kids/ https://www.reddit.com/r/karaoke/comments/7j4apx/karaoke_app_machine_or_website_for_8_year_old_kid/ https://support.google.com/families/answer/10495678?hl=en#zippy=%2Chow-youtube-kids-works https://pbskids.org Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP161|  Today on this Dad Classic episode of Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show talking about my ten year old daughter making it home from her big trip to Costa Rica.  I also mention my 7 year old experiencing life as an only child, even thought just for a week.  I then talk about some things I have going on and what will be coming down the pipe.  The remainder the show is from episode 108, way back in April of 2023 and that description is listed below. Today I talk about doing things for myself as well as for others to save money, to make a little money on the side, but also to keep growing myself and my knowledge base.  I then get into a common phrase we tend to hear that some generations don't really want to work anymore and why that may be.  Lastly, I continue talking about side hustles, something I did back at episode 30, with more examples we could do to make some extra money from getting your hands dirty fixing and hauling things to proof reading or taking surveys.  If you have ever done something to earn some extra money on the side I would love to hear your experience, so please send me a message on Pod Bean or on my Instagram page @stayathomedads_podcast.   Links:  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-08-10/no-one-wants-to-work-anymore-meme-shows-complaint-is-as-old-as-work-itself https://www.inc.com/nick-hobson/for-gen-z-career-grind-is-dead-they-see-things-differently-in-1-important-way.html https://goshare.co/drivers/ https://truckit-app.com https://www.podia.com https://eurekasurveys.com https://www.fiverr.com https://www.upwork.com Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP156|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I talk about a meme I came across that depicted how minimal a guy can live and be content.  A few comments on the post indicated that some people in fact didn't like how that could be possible.  This got me thinking of other things us men do that irritates or bothers our wives.  I say things men do but all of these could easily be reversed.  Things from not brushing your teeth to not talking about what's on your mind.  Just some basic stuff that we could all be a little better at.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://hackspirit.com/things-men-do-in-relationships-that-women-secretly-hate/ Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP155|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast, I continue the discussion I had the other week about kids sports particularly girls in sports.  I had some more thoughts and even a few corrections about the previous episode that I wanted to clarify.  I then dive a little deeper into this issue researching and looking into why young girls quit sports, what some of the benefits are of staying in sports, and how do we as parents and coaches keep them in the game.  It is a very link heavy episode so please read through those if interested.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0D5MU6_0n0 https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/do-you-know-the-factors-influencing-girls-participation-in-sports/ https://www.womenssportsfoundation.org/advocacy/benefits-sports-participation-girls-women/ https://womeninsport.org/news/girls-as-young-as-five-years-old-dont-feel-that-they-belong-in-sport/ https://isport360.com/keep-girls-in-sports/ Coaching Girls training link: https://www.keepgirlsinsport.com/2-safe-supportive-culture/a-introduction/ Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP154|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I go completely off script and talk about a few random, non related topics that have been going on in my life lately.  First off I mention party planning for my wife's 40th birthday party.  I talk about the level of stress involved in undertaking such a task and how easy it would have been to just go on line and book a trip but also how I believe it's important to do something special for your spouse.  I also talk about the importance of showing up for your spouse on special occasions whether it be birthdays, anniversaries, or any moment really where we should do something special for them to show them what they meat to us.  The second random topic I embark on is kids sports.  I talk about my daughter's experience playing sports, her struggles, and what I think the next steps should be when things don't work out.  I also ask a bunch of questions  that I hope you can help me answer;  Why are sports so important?  Why do parents seem to emphasize them so much?  How do we pivot when kids come home crushed?  I will follow up on this topic on the next episode as I have more to say.  Thank you so much for listening, if you want to respond to my questions today or have any other questions or comments, please reach me at the links below!   Episode Links:  Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP153|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show with the monumental eclipse we had this week.  Quite a sight to see but also such a huge buildup to something that's over in minutes.  I then get into a book I have been reading called Let Them Be Kids by Jessica Smartt.  I go over a few things I read so far that really resonated with me like over scheduling our kids, limiting technology, and how the primary thing kids should be doing is play.  I also go over her 6 facts about tech and our kids.  This book is a great read so far so I highly recommend it, I'll link it in the text below.  Thank you so much for listening, if you have any questions or comments for me, please reach me at the links below!   Links:  Amazon Links:  https://amzn.to/3xB57QP Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe

|EP151|   Today on Stay At Home Dads Podcast I open the show talking about a recent trip to Texas my wife and I took for work as well as some sight seeing, exploring, as well as the many positive interactions we had with people that live there.  The talk of travel made me think of today's topic of living with regret, that people typically regret not traveling, seeing the world or doing certain things when their young, and find they no longer can when they're old.  So today I discuss an article that mentions the top 8 things a group of 1500 elderly people regret and what we can do to not be in the same boat as them when we become their age.  Thank you so much for listening, if you have any questions or comments for me, please reach me at the links below!   Links:  https://www.today.com/health/biggest-regrets-older-people-share-what-they-d-do-differently-t118918 Amazon Links:    Podcast Links: •Apple Podcast App: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/id1566807529 •Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4WoSrsB0Bz70scOo8ExEEX •Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/89162611-78ab-429b-af13-82e6883be2ab/Stay-at-Home-Dads-Podcast •Google Podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL3N0YXlhdGhvbWVkYWRzL2ZlZWQueG1s •Pandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/stay-at-home-dads-podcast/PC:1001022563 •Instagram:  @stayathomedads_podcast •Web:  https://stayathomedads.podbean.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPZ0gFs6Upc7Ws8_ma6sJvA https://www.youtube.com/c/HighPriority Intro song by: @thederz Outro song by: Track Tribe
