    Over or Under -- A 2020 Recap Game

    We needed a way to recap 2020 to share some experiences, but also officially leave it behind, in a way that was more fun than just telling stories. So we came up with an over or under question and answer format. We pick an aspect of 2020, either sports or parenting related, and rate whether it over-performed or under-performed given the circumstances. We rate everything from the fake fans in the stadium, to pandemic kid-made art, to professional coaches wearing masks. We also give educators their due appreciation through stories of Adam’s wife, and what she had to deal with as a teacher. Thanks for listening.

    Sports & Parenting Moments in TV & Film

    Some of our favorite sports moments from TV & film actually prompt some pretty solid (and funny) parenting topics. We talk about TV shows like The Office, Bob's Burgers, The Simpsons, and Friends. Plus movies like The Sandlot and The Replacements. From there we talk about everything from creating lasting memories (good or bad), dealing with sibling rivalry, and parenting/coaching kids of extremely different levels and abilities.  Adam shares some hilarious stories from coaching first base in tee ball, and Chris talks about dealing with sibling rivalry, and insecurities about finding balance in being a parent vs being a coach. And as usual, Adam drops some knowledge that might help put most sports parents at ease. Tune in, it's a fun one!

    BONUS EPISODE - How do you explain to your kids...the Detroit Lions?

    Adam and Chris speak openly about the trials and tribulations of being lifelong Detroit Lions fans. They ask hard-hitting questions like, How do you explain to your kids the Detroit Lions? Also, what is more difficult for Matthew Stafford, raising four girls, or being the quarterback of the Detroit Lions. This was originally part of a full episode, but it got pretty local, so they thought this might be better suited for a true Lions fan. Or, possibly someone who is curious as to how someone could be a fan of the Detroit Lions. We hope you enjoy.

    Discipline & Abuse in Sports

    On the heels of the Adrian Peterson signing by the Detroit Lions, Adam and Chris dive into the difficult subject of abuse, and the nuances and fine lines that exist within the concept of discipline in sports. We do our best as non experts to tackle this tough conversation, and approach from our own experiences witnessing verbal abuse and questionable discipline tactics in youth sports. We also talk about how to react when confronted with another parent who is showing signs of verbally abusing their child. It's a heavy one folks, but an important discussion. We do book end the conversation with some light subjects, like a beer for dogs and cats, and Adam's son David giving us some Marble Run play by play. Please feel free to reach out with any comments and suggestions, or share your experiences with us on social media. Thanks for listening.
