Show Notes
Welcome back to Gray Hair & Daycare, the podcast where the combined age of the hosts is 111, but the humor in life is strictly toddler-level. In part 2 of Episode 33, Frank and Carlo dive headfirst into the "People Tub" transition.
Being a dad at this age means trading in your cool factor for memory foam knee pads—because raising kids is a lot harder on the joints than it used to be. We're sharing essential baby advice on the products that actually work (and the ones that cost $11 for a piece of plastic).
In this session of fatherhood advice, Frank breaks down his latest "Crash Test Daddy" findings, from the magic of Baby Dove to a bath mat that looks like a frog. We also discuss the evolution of childhood fears—from Carlo's terrifying 1970s toy horse to Frank's legitimate trauma from Jethro Tull album covers.
Whether you are looking for fatherhood tips, relatable parenting mistakes, or just want to feel better about your own dad life, we've got you covered. Stick around as we discuss older dads navigating the "North Side Lean," dog weight gain due to baby scraps, and Frank's secret plan to become the next "Elf on the Shelf" mogul.
