What a Hell of a Way to Die What a Hell of a Way to Die

Nate and Francis discuss the perennial troop phenomenon of getting dumped overseas, the goal of being a better person in your forties than you were in your twenties, the stereotypes associated with various universities in the Midwest, and the important ask-a-dad question of ‘is there a uniformly good brand of diapers?’ Hope you enjoy!

This week Francis talks with museum collections manager Lilith from the National Japanese American Historical society. We discuss moving your collections, doing provenance research, and begging you not to donate your grandfathers dirty Korean War era underwear.

Nate and Francis are back for a DadChat, this time discussing important questions such as: what if your kid gets into Roblox? What if your kid just likes reading a lot? Are video games better or worse for you now than they were in 1989? And an essential Ask A Dad question: what sort of gifts should you get for new parents?

For this week's DadChat, Francis speals with Chris James (@theCJS) of the Guys Podcast about his experiences in parenting a newborn. As in, he's got a one-month-old and he's extremely sleep-deprived, but there's already so much to talk about. Very much hope you enjoy!

Note: this DadChat was recorded back in March right before Nate had a family emergency, so if it seems out-of-date it’s due to that.
For this week’s DadChat, Nate and Francis discuss the perennial question of ‘when is it the correct time to have a kid?’ And the answer is: whenever the circumstances work for you, but there’s always something happening that makes it a challenge. And once it happens you will never sleep normally again.
