Odd Dad Out

It's another silly brain week. But this week I came to the realization that I may have reached peak adulting. Honestly I may be a little too excited about my new rake and my wife's new office chair. We also spent most of the week binging and introducing our boys to the Nickelodeon shows of our childhood via the new Paramount+ streaming service. I've gotta admit that I get a bit defensive of my TV nostalgia after a bit. But I stand by all of it.If you want to know more about the 5th Annual Livestream For The Cure, go to http://livestreamforthecure.com/Leave Me a Voicemail ‪(516) 636-7631‬ (ODO-POD1)Join the Facebook Group Oddballs: Friends of The Odd Dad Outhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/odddadoutDonate on Patreonhttp://patreon.com/join/odddadoutFollow Along on Social athttps://www.twitter.com/odddadout/https://www.facebook.com/odddadout/https://www.instagram.com/odddadout Hosted on Acast.

I don't know why, but I was just in a giggly mood through this whole episode. Maybe it was the long night. Maybe it was the instant coffee at 3 am. I was just in a goofy mood. So try as I might to talk about the boys going back to on-campus school, I just tangented all over the place. Badass grilled cheese, sibling rivalry, Queen Elizabeth, and other random brain farts. As well as a return of "BS From the News" with a pirate Airbnb, a divorce over penis size, and another catastrophic gender reveal.

For the sake of trying my best to focus on something, This week is all about our latest experience in mini-vacationing. We took a little spring break trip to a cabin at the Patagonia Lake State Park. Long story short, it was a gorgeous view of a beautiful lake in southern Arizona with hiking trails, lots of birdwatching, and lots of campfire cooking. It was also freezing balls, windy as hell, and I was constantly being dragged around by an annoyingly curious husky. Oh yeah, and there were wild cows.Plus an update on some format changes I'm considering, and a reminder to get me your questions for my attempted episode 200 Q&A.

I throw in an impromptu "What Adam's Listening To" about "Less Is Morgue." I plead for your podcast suggestions. And I finally give you my formal review of "The Unwritable Rant."Less Is Morguehttps://lessismorgue.com/"The Unwritable Rant"https://theunwritablerant.com/https://www.youtube.com/juliettemirandaThe “Unwritable Rant” is a monologue style, semi-autobiographical, storytelling show, hosted by author, Juliette Miranda. Every Sunday, Juliette cracks open a bottle of her favorite liquor and shares the many many many… tales of often alcohol infused crazy that just seem to encompass her entire existence. Whether it’s the trail of questionable musicians she’s dated, her mom the witch and dad the physicist (explain that one to me,) or her zany cast of friends, Juliette’s pool of WTF stories runeth over.Earlier episodes also be

Whether that actually happens is anyone's guess. On that note, we recently had a major trip to the dentist for one of our little monsters, and the outcome is going to get expensive. Also, I've got my more in depth review of "The Box Of Oddities." And in my new "What's Adam Listening to/ Watching" segement, my wife and I just finished binging the Netflix series, "Bridgerton."Recommended ListeningThe Box of Odditieshttps://www.theboxofoddities.com/The Good:Excellent Sound QualityHighly InformativeWell ResearchedWide Variety of TopicsTwice Weekly ReleasesBumpers Don’t Get StaleGreat ChemistryAuthenticity- No PhoniesDamn FunnyNot Above Self-DeprecationThe Bad:Stories Can Get GraphicAd Breaks Can Get Pretty LongCan Veer Into the PoliticalThe Verdict:Four StarsAfter I was introduced to the Box of Oddities, it quickly became one of my regular “must listen” podcast

https://odddadoutpodcast.com/reboot(This is the long version of the blog post linked above and written below.)Time away to thinkBeing away from the podcast for these last few months has given me some time to think about what I want to do with things. Honestly, the way the world is right now made me seriously reconsider whether or not I should come back to the podcast at all. In the last year I have struggled a lot with, besides just getting content out, coming up with topics to cover on the show. I haven’t listened to a great number of new podcasts lately to offer many new recommendations. Much like Bandrew Scott from Podcastage, I’ve noticed that it’s become increasingly difficult to avoid political topics when covering any type of news. And when I do find news to cover, I get accused of racism because of the ethnicity of the people in some of the stories.Just as a tangent: I don’t care if you’re black, white, brown, green, orange, purple, red, yellow, blue, or polka dot. (But for some of those you really m

The situation with “distance learning” and the battle over mine and my wife’s schedules has reached a point that we are having to make serious changes. Because of our separate work schedules, it has been very difficult to balance work and our boys’ school lessons. We are now having to look into changing our work schedules to accommodate it all. Ultimately, the issue lies with the need to supervise our younger boys during their school day, my wife working during school hours, and my graveyard work schedule necessitating me sleeping during the day. There’s only so many hours in a week, and I need all of the ones available to get sleep and take care of home business.With that, I’ve decided to put the podcast on an indefinite break until a time that I will be able to continue producing it without having to sacrifice my limited sleeping hours and potentially my health.I know I have said this in the past, even as recently as earlier this year. But under the current circumstances, I simply cannot continue the show.

Kind of a follow up to last week's freak out over the upcoming "distance learning" back to school season, this week I'm talking about how it went and how we addressed that pesky issue of when I'm supposed to sleep.Side note: With Episode 200 coming up soon, what sort of giveaway would you like this time around?

Long story short: school is starting back up this week for my boys and it's got me a little freaked out, especially for our new Kindergartner. Add that to not knowing how/if I'm going to get any sleep during the boys school days, how/if I'll have time to manage the podcast, and my half-brained idea to start live streaming the podcast and my art.

This week I've got a couple stories for you. First off, I got tested for Corona this week. I'm still waiting on the results by the way.

I AINT GOT TIME FOR THAT SHITThis is prime rambling random train of thought stuff. From show changes caused by the new recording schedule, to binge watching horror movies, a few semi-reviews of some of our recent watches, a rant about the Halloween films, and an impromptu commercial for the new Dr Pepper with Cream Soda.After 5 years, 269 total episodes, (188 real ones) and over 20,000 downloads, I just want to say thank you for listening.

Full Show Notes athttps://odddadoutpodcast.com/changing-plans-and-changing-podcasts:-odo-186Before you freak out at the title, no I’m not changing up this show. At least for the most part. Rather, this week’s Recommended Listening will highlight a few podcasts that have changed since the last time I talked about them. Not much “Florida Man” in this week’s news, but a whole lot of stupid. And we’ve recently had to make a major change in our plans around the house.Not A Great Time For a Road TripIf you’ve been listening for the last few weeks, you’d have heard that we’ve been setting up for our annual summer family vacation. Well, under the current circumstances, it’s really not the best for us to take a road trip right now. Long story short, “thanks corona.” Long story slightly longer, we’ve got a lot of family who are pretty high risk, and we don’t want to increase their risk with our road trip germs.And now for something a little lighter…The other night, our youngest decided that he didn’t want to eat his di
