Episode 81 - Make your bed, change the world

It's been a tough week here in the Zad Abode. My 4 year old is both acting up and having a sleep regression. My back hurts. My golf game was oh so close before falling off again. It's the perfect storm! But listen in as I try to convince you (and myself) that the secret to getting my son and my back and my golf game back on track is one and the same: Making our beds the moment we open our eyes in the morning.

Episode 80 - A definitive guide to coaching tee ball

We’re coming up on the end of my 4 year old’s tee ball (or is it t-ball?) season, and the end of my time as their coach, so it’s a good time to think back on how far we’ve all come. These kids have improved tremendously, and I’ve learned a thing or two myself. So I recap all their madcap adventures, make my case for why baseball is the best youth sport, and share the great secret I have learned regarding how to coach kids as young as 4. All that and more. Give it a listen!

Episode 79 - Kickass mom kicks ass

It's a special Mother's Day episode of Zad Bod! My wife, the mother of my children, has been a recurring character on this show as a pillar of strength, a voice of reason, and a comedic foil. But today she is simply the woman of the hour as I tell you all about how exceptional a partner, parent, and person she is; how lucky I am; and how together we are going to change the way we even celebrate Mother's Day! This one goes out to all the wonderful moms out there, so make sure to sing the praises of the moms in your life too!

Episode 78 - Cleaning up these messes

A couple weeks ago I complained about how messy it is to let my baby teach himself how to eat solid food. Then last week I let that baby make too big a mess, and told you about other big messes I have made in the past. And when it rains it pours, I guess, because now baby is scooting around the floor and pulling things off of shelves. my 4 year old is tracking dirt into the house and drawing tattoos on himself in marker, and I feel like all I'm doing is cleaning up messes. Attitude Era professional wrestling! Pee and poop stories! All that and more, so listen up and enjoy!

Episode 77 - Making a mess of things

Last week, I told you about how I was intervening too much and needed to let my baby learn how to feed himself. Well, I did just that, and the baby made a huge mess in the car. I tell that story, along with two more incredibly unintelligent things I've done in the past. This episode has it all. Bidets! Pepper spray! I can't believe my wife agreed to start a family with me. Give it a listen!

Episode 76 - Lost in the sauce

Building on last week's episode, I apply what I'm now calling "The 50% Rule" to teaching my kids things that are currently skills they're trying to learn, but will soon become routine things they do every day for the rest of their lives. How do I teach my 4 year old how to tie his shoes when the only time he practices is two minutes before we have to leave? How do I let my baby learn how to feed himself without fretting about the rising cost of all the food he's wasting? All that and more on this week's episode. Thanks for listening. Enjoy!

Episode 75 - No Tiger, no cry

Major golf has returned to Augusta! The Masters is upon us, without Tiger Woods in the field, but for the first time I've actually come around to preferring it that way. I begin this episode with an abbreviated version of my reaction to the news of his latest car accident and DUI arrest before moving on to revisit a sort of parenting philosophy I created two years ago based on his late father, Earl, the King of all Sports Dads, which I call "Halfway to Earl." Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

Episode 74 - Golf is absolutely mental!

No new Zad Bod pod this week, unfortunately, as I got derailed by the 1-2 punch of another sick kid AND visiting parents! But, as my way of saying sorry, I am offering up an old episode of a podcast I used to make called Easy Golf, in which I describe why the game is so appealing to golf sickos like myself. If you’re a golfer, you may get a kick out of hearing my version of something that exists within you too, and if you’re not a golfer, this is not a sales pitch. I’m not here to tell you why golf is better than you think it is. I’m here to say golf is worse than you think it is, but somehow that’s actually the fun of it!

What is Zad Bod? I ask and answer that question in less time than it has taken me to think of what to write in this space.
