Dave-O had the pleasure of talking with a brother from "Oh Canada", Mr. Brendan Hickey. Brendan is a father of two and hosts the "Not Your Normal Hickey Podcast" with his oldest son, Mayson.
Brendan gives the dads out there some great takeaways in today's interview: 1) Throw the parenting books out the window, you'll succeed with your instinct. 2) Surround yourself with people you can trust when times get tough. 3) Enjoy those little moments now, they'll have a massive impact in the future.

Introducing your Kids to Pets
Monday Jun 22, 2020
Monday Jun 22, 2020
The Fearless Fathers are going a bit off the cuff today from what they normally do. This is something that isn't widely talked about but happens quite often. This quick episode is to get you thinking about when you introduce your kids to animals.
Parents with pets in the home, introduce their kids early, and most times, the pet is SUPER PROTECTIVE of your little one. What happens when you visit someone with an animal who may not be familiar with your little one?
That's why we feel this topic is so overlooked, but super important. Before your little one, dog, cat, ferret? get hurt, take these 3 points home with you.
1. Introduce your children to pets as early as you can. 2. Be mindful, but not to where you need to be overly cautious. 3. Have an idea in place.

Fearless Father: Ethan Shean
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Thursday Jun 18, 2020
Today, Dave-O sits down and talks to Ethan Shean, Chief Retail Officer of Strawberry Cannabis, based out of Colorado. A good friend of his, who moved halfway around the country to follow his passions and live his best life with his family. What he didn't see, was how his family didn't make it there with him.
Ethan drops a TON of value in today's episode.
Three takeaways for today: 1. Be there for your child, even if you're halfway across the country. 2. Don't put your children in the middle of you and your significant others battles. 3. When it comes to your passions, go out and get in the white van even if it feels sketchy.

Childcare Costs and You
Monday Jun 15, 2020
Monday Jun 15, 2020
Your child is home safe, and your basking in the excitement. You don't want this moment to ever go away. The reality now has to set in. The time has now come for both of you to go back to work. You have to decide what's going to be the best route to make sure your child is safe and taken care of. Sometimes it's a family member, you both work opposite shifts, or the dreaded shelling out upwards of $2000 for a center to care for them.
You feel like you're being taxed just for starting a family.
Dave-O and Ryan both have differing views on how they attacked this complex issue. Taking a positive approach to something so negative seems impossible.
There is no right or wrong answer to attacking child care. Let's start looking at childcare in a new light.
Join us today, as we embrace the ungodly fear of childcare.

Cursing: What the F&$K?!
Monday Jun 08, 2020
Monday Jun 08, 2020
Cursing AROUND your child? Good or bad? Always a tough decision. For most of us, it slips. We realize we say it, and damn if we don't try our hardest NOT to curse around our kids. Join us in this VERY NSFW episode as we talk about the difference between cursing around your kid and AT YOUR KID. (don't do that).
Listen to how Ryan almost broke down in the fetal position with his AMAZING story (Ok, he didn't really almost crawl into the fetal position, but Dave-O gets to type these up, so we can say he did). How Dave grew up with cursing around him, and Ryan, not so much. This one is set to be a F^5#ING great episode

Monday Jun 01, 2020
Today Dave-O and Ryan talk about family vacations, and when is it the right time to take one? We talk mainly about Disney vacations, and how old is the right time to start "making memories".
Three takeaways you don't want to miss: 1. You only have "10 solid years of vacations with your children" 2. Social media can really play games with vacations. 3. Go out and just make memories, even if it's just a day trip.
